The Home Guard Company

The public generally has not taken cognizance
Of the Importance of the Home Guard company
which has been formed in Richmond. highly
commendahle amount of patriotic endeavor has
been expended both by the men who are at the
head of this enterprise and the men who are drill
ing.
I Cambridge City has company which has
been accepted into the state service, being one of
the very first companies that passed inspection
and became an integral part of the State Home
Guard movement. The men in this company are
drilling faithfully and are reflecting credit on the
community,
The Richmond company did not get under way
in time to be taken into the first regiment Of the
State organization but it's members are prepar-
ing for a speedy enrolment in the second regi-
ment that will be mustered in soon.

The Home Guard company here should have a
large enrolment. There are enough men on the
roster to give assurance of permanence and sue
cess. .1
Hundreds of men who have not enrolled are
asked to weigh the reasons why they should join.
1t is of primary Importance to note that when
the old National Guard units of Indiana were
mustered into the federal service, no adequate
body of trained men to meet an emergency de-
handing the military was left in the state. In
fact. at present, excepting the first regiment of
Home Guards recently perfected, Indiana has no
troops.
The Home Guard companies are not members
of the National Guard. Keep this distinction in
mind The oath they take is not the oath of the
National Guard but an oath that obligates the
men to service within the state only. They can
be called for the protection of any point or indus
try that is threatened with danger by German
spies or sympathzers in Indiana, but they can
not be called outside the jurisdiction of the state
1t is obvious to every thinking patriot that the
state must have some sort of military protection
in these trying times. The Home Guards will
give this protection. They are being organized
and drilled for the sole purpose of thwarting any
design the Kaiser's agents may have within In
diana. They are patriots who will shoulder a
rifle to defend any point that is being threatened
by the foes of democracy.

LONDON. Mar 16.-In a review by
a highly competent authority OF the
German ruthless submarine cam
raign, its results are thus summed
up
The submarine campaign is having
q more serious effect upon European
neutrals than upon belligerent nier-
camille marine.
The continual losses Of ships will
seriously effect postbelium trade.
The losses of British mercantile
vessels in the first six weeks repre-
sent a percentage of 90, while the
average daily movement ofsvessels in
United Kingdom ports is 40. The
figure excerpts fishing and local craft.
If the same rate of destruction
we're to continue at this average II
would take at least a year to reduce
the British mercantile marine by one
half, without taking into considera-
ton additional tonnage procured
from building and purchase.
