rs TO ATTEND
FIRST BANQUET
Soldiers and Sailors Registered On
Welcome Home Register Guests
N Of Honor at Party.

One hundred seyenty-five honor
ably discharged United States SOL
diers and sailors are to be the
guests of honor at the first welcome
home banquet to be given at the
Masonic temple Jan. 16 under the
auspices of the welcome home COM
mittee of the Rock Island Red Cross
chapter.
Invitations are to be mailed to
each returned lad, who registered
at the Red Cross rooms up to last
night Another banquet is to be
given for lads who register from to-
day on.
Thus far the Welcome home reg
lister at the Red Cross rooms has
proved a decided success, but
those in charge assert that not all
of the returning service men are
enrolled.
If a man was only at camp five
minutes and he was honorably re-
jected, he is just as welcome at
the banQuets as a man who has
been in year." A. G.. Hill, a mem
Der of the welcome home commit
tee in charge of the banquets, said.
I'VE want every honorably dis
charged man present at one OF the
banquets," he continued. There
is no reason why we can't make
these affairs the greatest ever"
Plans for the coming affair are
well under way and the entertain
ment committee promises some of
the greatest stunts ever for the
evening An informal reception
and getacQuainted period will pro-
eede the banquet, which is to be
followed by a program.

made at the Red Cross rooms be-
fore last night and these men with
