THIS OTTAWA YOUTH
ARBITRARILY DEMANDS
ADMISSION TO ARMY

Strawn Gay, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Gay. who is associated with
John Hanifen in the architect busi-
ness, yesterday forced himself into
the army.
Gay. who suffered deafness after
fall few months ago, was barred
from service at the time of his physi-
cal examination in the draft. He was
member of Company G when the
mishap occurred and of course was
honorably discharged.
OF late his hearing has almost en-
tirely returned and yesterday after
noon he rushed at top speed to the
exemption board; demanded his ad-
mission into the army; that he be GER
titled at once and that he be sent
from Ottawa with the next quota leav'
ing for Camp Dodge
His conduct was so arbitrary the
| board could do little else than examine
him again. DR.. Petit tested the hear
ing apparatus and pronounced it ..
X. Then humbly and meekly the
board began obeying the young mans
mandates.
He will go to Camp Dodge with the
next batch of honor men.
Gays conduct is cooking up fine
kettle OF promotions for him, accord
ing to one of the local officials

LOCAL GUARD UNIT
TAKES HAND IN THE PROPOSED
CHANGES FOR COMPANY c.
WRITES PRESIDENT PROTEST.
ING AGAINST ARMY PLAN.

There is fighting chance" that
Company C's well laid plans for trans
forming itself into a modern rifle COM
pany OF $50 men and six officers may
yet go awry. While preparations are
going on down at Houston for making
changes there is possibility that
Governor Lowden will circumvent any
"disintegration' of Illinois troops by
taking personal hand in the matter.
Under the new arrangement the To-
cal military organization was to be-
come Company B of the 169th Infan-
try. One hundred men were to be
drafted from Company B. of Hopes
ton and turned over to Captain Wood
ward. After making these alterations
the Ottawa company was to assume
the letter now used by Hoopeston,
thereby modifying men in both units.
Orders were being put into effect to
bring about the transformation when
the governor, presumably at solicit
tation of National Guard leaders sent
the following letter to Washington
asking the War Department to keep
the Illinois guard undivided. In his
letter the executive has in mind the
Seventh and Third regiments, both of
which have been named in plans for
reorganization. In his telegram the
governor declares that such action
would impair the morale of the troops
and would be grievous error.
His message to President Wilson
follows:
There are persistent rumors tina
the authorities at Washington are con
sidering the disintegration of some o
the Illinois regiments. respectful,
submit that this would be grievou
error. | am thoroughly familiar witt
the history of all of these organza
tions. Every one of them has man.
years of fine traditions and fine mem
cries, and nothing would so take th'
heart out of officers and men Of thes'
regiments as to break the regiment
up. Their esprit de corps would suffe
greatly by such a course, and thei
efficiency would be immeasurably re
duced.
Il was a member myself of the I'LL
nos national guard for number 0
years and am sure am not overstat
ing the case 1t may seem to SOM
of the military authorities at Wash
ington that these are mere considers
tions of sentiment, but suggest t
them that sentiment is always tn
controlling factor in determining tn
morale of troops. Surely 1t woul
make these officers and men no les
serviceable to the United States tha
they are also permitted to retain the
pride in Illinois.
"Illinois wants to do her full pal
in this great war and she feels ce
tain that her contribution to the su
cess of our arms will be vastly large
