DEBATE GUARD POST
Democrat, Republican Vie
for HeaIey's Command.

Indiana national guard politics
are rampant again regarding a sue
cessor to Brigadier-General George
H. Healey as commander of the
Seventy-sixth infantry brigade.
Choice lies between Colonel D
Wray De PREF, Democrat of Shell
byville, commander of the One hun
dred f1fty-frst infantry regiment
and Colonel Walter H. Unversaw
Republican of Kokomo, commander
of the One hundred fiftieth field
artillery.
Adjutant-G General Paul E. Tom
baugh refused to declare which OF
the colonies he recommended fol-
promotion at conference on the
subject with Governor Harry G.
Leslie Tuesday.
General Healey, who had a limb
amputated at the United States
veterans hospital at Hines, H., two
weeks ago, may remain in the serv-
ice until the guard goes to camp
Aug. Is, Tombaugh said.
Therefore it is too early to spec
ulate on his successor" he conclud-
ed, after admitting he was talking
about it with the Governor.

Then new obstacle arose. We
must first obtain permission from

The only outsiders permitted to
operate here are the Quakers, who
are conducting soup kitchens. One
union soup kitchen was dyna-
mited; at another, two men were

Union sympathizers, like Waldo

At least 10000 men, women and
children are on the relief lists in
Bell and Harlan counties today.
Local agencies have raised this
year $4,000 in the two counties
Pineville, with a population of
$500, raised $6,000-and are be-
ing helped indirectly by the Red
Gross. Red Cross chapters in
various cities make up carloads of
provisions and ship them in here,
independent of the national or
ganization.
Roughly, each family gets 50
worth of food a week. The aver
age family numbers five.
If there is an able bodied man
in the family, he is required to

road or at some odd job that a
church, welfare club, or civic club
makes poSSible-at ST day.
If there is no man in the family
able to work, or if work is not
available, relief is donated out

ize them" said Rev. L. c. Kelly,
one of the leaders. Men with
large families get more work.

HONOLULU, April 6.-The "in-
side story" of the first American
shot fired in the World war was re-
vealed at Schof1eld barracks today
by Staff Sergeant Thomas L.
Wurster, who directed the French
"75" field gun that sent deadly
missile screaming over German lines.
This shell was fired at Cos a. M,
Oct. 90. 1917, and landed behind
enemy intrenchmentS on the out
skirts of Rechicourt.
But not until today did Wurster,
now a staff sergeant in the Thin
tenth field artillery here, relate the
details of that exciting race be-
tween American army units to be
the first engaged in actual combat.
The wet and rainy night of Oct.

they can't close completely. be-
cause there are certain items of

If pumping is stopped, they say,

of distribution at the Pineville

mate of what a 50 weekly food

"Of course" said Mrs. Hutchin-

Both Harlan and Bell counties
