Indiana is Getting Into the War Now.

Indianapois, Indr, Aug. 21.—With seven companies of the Fourth Indiana national guard regiment off for training camp at Hattiesburg, Miss., and the First Regiment of Indiana Field Artillery ready for the start to France, Indiana is at once getting into the war with a good start. The troops that have been ordered to Hattiesburg will be utilized in getting the camp in shape for the thousands of others that will go there a little later. It is believed it will be but a short time until the entire Indiana national guard will be in that camp. Brigadier General Edwin M. Lewis, who will command the Indiana brigade at Hattiesburg, was expected here today, and he is under orders to report at Hattiesburg not later than August 25 to take over his command.
