BUILD UP THE NATIONAL
GUARD OF SOUTH BEND

South Bend News-Times:
The president has designated the
period between June 23-3O as re-
cruiting week for the army and
calls upon all unmarried men be-
tween the ages of IS and 40 who
have no dependents TO present them
selves for enlistment during the
week herein designated TO bring the
army 10 full war strength.
1t is safe 10 say no other city can
show a better record for enlstments
to the regular army and navy than
South Bend has made since the pres
idents call for volunteers. Many Of
the City's most patriotic and sturdy
young manhood have voluntarily
come forward and said to Uncle
Same: Here, take me for your army
and navy, 1 want TO help defend the
honor OF my country.
South Bend has contributed its
share 10 the quota Of volunteers ask
ed of Indiana for the regular army.
Every Hoosier must feel proud Of
his state for so periodically, willing
ly ana promptly presenting this
quota. If every state had done as
we'll there would have been no need
for a special call to make up a de-
hciency.
1t is not right to ask South Bend
TO help make up the SHORTCOMINGS
of other communities. This does not
imply that South Bend has done
enough and that its patriotism
should be held in check. 1t suggests
that the national guard should re-
ceive more attention from South
Bend than has been given it. That
civic pride should be combined with
patriOtism-that pride Of city, mani
tested by filling up the national
guard companies located here should
be tied TO patriotism, shown by a
willingness to serve the country in
any capacity.
The week designated by the presl.
dent for enlist TO bring the
| fighting forces Of the nation 10 war
strength should be devoted to secur-
ing recruits for the third Indiana in o.

DOUBLE LIVES IN WAR TIMES.

one unexpected result Of New states military
census has been the uncoverng of men leading dual
lives. Scores Of such citizens said have been

establishments are in a serious dilemma. They have
