A speech of welcome to the assembly

governor of Indiana. He spoke Of the
present war, and said that it was re-
uniting the country as never before, so
that soldiers from North and South are

COMPANY D OVERFLOW.
Members Who Remain Behind Hold

The former members of Company held
q lengthy session at their quarters in the
armory last night. Just what it was all about
could not be learned, as the meeting was be-
hind closed doors and the men refused to d.
yulge after adjourning, but it is said that
event Of a second call for troops, he will re-
fuse to recognize any member of the guard
who had an opportunity to muster in on the
first call and did not avail himself Of the
chance. and 1t is supposed that this formed
the basis of the discussion.
Another meeting has been called and at
that time the future policy of the men who
stayed behind will be decided on and given

An agreeable Understanding
Reached Through an Exchange

and the French Ambassador Mt
Washington - Press Criticism
Misrepresents Popular Opinion.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-As the result of
several recent exchanges between the oficials
OF the state department and those sof the
French embassy an agreeable understanding
has been reached which gives assurance of a
continuance of the traditional friendship exist
Ing between the United States and France.
The exchange Of views has served to make
clear that each government has the fulleN
confidence In the friendly. attitude of the other
and that many criticisms, which have been
aroused by incidents of the war, have not
been Shared by the officials Of either country.
In the recent exchanges the attitude OF
some of the Paris newspapers, as well as those
OF this country, in criticism of France, has
been gone over. 1t was pointed out by the
state department officials that they had ex-
pressly disclaimed any sympathy or ndorse-
ment OF these criticisms and that, at most.
they were private expressions, in no way re-
hecting the feeling of the United States gov
eminent toward France
On the other hand, the French authorities
| have given assurance that the French press
filings came from a class of radical Partisan
newspapers and in no way represented tt at
cordial sentiment entertained by the French
government and French people toward the
United States. 1t was shown also that the
more influential and representative journals.
