Hoosier Authors Will Attend the Training Camp.

The University Club, of Indianapolis, has started a campaign for enlistments to the citizens’ training camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison and thirty-three enlisted this week, including Booth Tarkington and Meredith Nicholson, the authors. A statement was published Thursday that the success of the July camp was assurred as 500 Chicago businessmen had enlisted fbr it. So far no Rensselaer citizen has enlisted so far as we have learned. N. C. Shafer, of the Main Garage, would like to go but his business is such that he can not be away for the full thirty days, which is involved in the enlistment. He plans to visit the camp during the summer c.nd to remain several days. From the 10th to the 16th of July the officers’ training camp will be held at Fort Benjamin Harrison and all line officers and part of the staff officers of the Indiana National Guard will attend, including Major Healey, Captain Herman B. Tuteur, Lieutenants Garland, Watson and Arthur Tuteur and several of the non-commis-sioned officers of the local company. .The annual camp of instruction for all members of the guard will be held in August, probably in .. series of regimental camps lasting from August sth to 21st. The citizens’ camps will last through July, August and September, provided enough volunteer to provide for the camps. The first one is assurred.
