All Indiana Soldiers To See Early Service.

In an interview given out this week at Indianapolis by Harry New, Indiana’s United States senator, he predicted that there is not a man wearing the uniform of a regular army' man, reserve officer or National Guard who will not see service on the firing linejn Europe by another Decoration Day. He expressed it as his opinion that the National Guardsmen will be sent to Europe as fast as preparations for transportation can be completed. Senator New says there is nothing to show’ that the Guard in any state will be favored, but that the troops of all the states will be sent to the firing , line to do their (bit before another year passes. Senator New has had assurances from the war department that the Indiana Guardsmen will be the first in the country to be equipped for service. This is due to the fact that Indiana is the first state to complete all arrangemens for war emergency measures as well as to have been the first to supply its allotment of men for the regular army. In view of the fact that Indiana men are among the first to go to Europe, and the fact? that special attention will be given to equipping them at the earliest possible moment, it is urged by the adjutant general that men who are liable for military service volunteer at once in the home units.
