AS DRAFT .bEC0MES LAW,
COUNTY PASSED 1900 MARK
Setting of June AS Date for Registry Banishes All
Question of Conscriptio and is Expected to Be an
Impetus to Recruiting

Definite settlement of the conscrip-
ton question and the setting by the
president OF June as the day for reg
istering of all males between the ages
of 81 to 80. was expected today to act
as great impetus to enlisting.
Recruiting officers in Hammond.
Gary. East Chicago and Whiting freely
predicted that the coming week will be
a banner one, just as the past week has
been the poorest since the declaration of
war owing to the fact that congress
was putting the finishing touches on the
draft bill and the country was in
suspense.
With the signing by the president of
the draft bill Lake county passed the
1s0O mark in enlistments with Ham
mond leading the state, having sent out
more than seven hundred since April s
when war with Germany was declared.
The report for the Northern Indiana
enlisting for the month of April finds
probably second although IT is not pos
sible to tell exactly from the figures as
all recruits sent by postmasters and
from small towns are credited to Fort
Wayne although they are not recruited
there but merely pass through that
office.
A rumor is current for which there is
no confirmation that Lake county hav-
ing given 1900 volunteers since the
