HAMMOND
H0MES|CK

Sergeant ~Bir" wants to come back
home.
When Captain Ryan. Fort Wayne re-
cruiting head. took Sergeant William
Welch on a recruiting campaign to
Maryland. he stripped Hammond of one
of its best friends. Sergeant Bill
put Hammond on the map as far as
war headquarters at Washington is
concerned Through his efforts and
the assistance given locally, the ser
geant was able to make Hammond the
foremost city in the United States in
enlistments-pro rata He sent over
700 young men from Hammond and vi
cinity since the declaration of war,
April 6. That's the .-ason Captain
Ryan took him along, for he's one of
the best.
The longer I stay away from Ham
mond the more homesick I become. It
is the finest city in this land OF ours
and its people are the most patriotic
wrote the sergeant in a letter from
Baltimore to THE TIMES today. Continu-
ing he said. 'I wish I could be able to
have the people of Maryland witness
one of our flag raisings or be able to
see some one of the parades when
some of the Hammond boys are lsev
ing. We may not have the old uadi-
tion and history that Maryland has
but we certainly have the pure un-
adulterated patriotism there. One has
to get away to really appreciate Ham
mond and her people.
Tells of>Hammond.
II made three talks in picture houses
here. and did not fail to make mention
of the fact that Hammond. Ind, had
sent out more men to date than the
entire state of Maryland OF course
they didn't give me much of an ovation
over that statement.
Il leave for Cumberland. Nd, tomor-
row to take charge of the office there
and try and awaken them in the way
Hammond has come through.
Wants Dave Boone.
my only regret is that haven't At
torney David Boope along to pull the
feathers out of the eagles tail for

as he can put pep into a wooden In

L expect to be back in Gods
country (Hammond) in about two
weeks. Kindest regards to all.

OTTAWA, CAN, June 7.-Plans for
a coalition cabinet have been rejected
by Sir Wilfred Laurier, the liberal
leader, it was definitely announced to-
day. The proposal advanced by Pre-
mier Sir Robert Borden was rejected
on the cinscription issue, Laurier in
insisting the country should first pass
on the measure.
Premier Borden will now pass the
conseription bill 1t will probably be
passed after which parliament will be
dissolved. The government will then
go to the country on the CONSUMPTION
issue with probably a new unionist
party led by Borden and composed of
the conscriptionists of both present
parties.

paws have a tough time when they
turn their steps toward the pitching

McGraw has kept his weather eye

five years. He has always maintained

wonderful pitcher, but though Ferdie

1917 has so far proved that McGraw

Schupp is in his twenty-fifth year,

be equally as good as Ruth and Leon.

Automobile body building is hedget

in rare cases that the body designer
is permitted to lay his own foundation
but must take the chassis as it is
turned over to him by the mechanical
department, and endeavor to do the
best he can on foundation planned
by someone else, who may not have
the slightest conception of beauty.
Artistic bodies need to be in bal
anced proportion to the hood, but since
this is determined by the length of the
motor, and since the length of the body
is determined by the wheel base, the
body designer has not much latitude.
