HALT! OR SENTRY
WILL SHOOT YOU

In ST. Margaret's hospital at Ham
mond lies wounded an Indiana Har-
Dor mana civilian who was shot
by a United States soldier. That 1t
wasn't fatal is due to the guards
mans desire only to stop the man by
shooting at his feet. The man was
shot because he refused to stop at
the command "EALT!"
In order 60 prevent If possible re-
currenceS of these unfortunate
tragedies, THE TIMES advises all
it's readers to remember that
guardsman on duty has full authority
to enforce his commands and has no
choice but to shoot when they are
not obeyed.
Crossing railroad bridges, viaducts
or cu1verts or approaching tunnels
and other public works of military
Importance, autoists and pedestrians
are likely to be halted these days by
militiamen- The command to stop
should be instantly obeyed.

Editor Times:
AS a member of the Hammond

resent the words used in last nights

fair" had been made a matter of
gossip" through those persons who
had "taken up the cudgels" in de-
Tense of our Flag, and question the
religious attitude of chose who took
exception to the words used.
Unfortunately we are not all
capable of interpreting words and
expressions along the same lines.
Neither are we all mind readers.
That was a day Of all days on

deep stir of patriotism, to ask in
their hearts why, why, the day Of all

critics did not ask for explanation
was an error on their part.

NEW YORK. April 13.-
Major General Leonard Wood
made the following statement
when asked concerning the re-
suits of the recruiting campaign
for the regular army:
"The voluntary recruiting for
the army is failure. Our in
ability to secure more than one
tenth the desired number proves
that the only way is to adopt uni
versal obligatory training"
General Wood added the hope
that President Wilson would not
be hampered by Congress. He
asked that the newspapers print
the foregoing statement in order
to contradict the stories that re-
cruiting was going on in a salts
factory manner.
