Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 146, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 June 1918 — INDUCTED INTO THE SERVICE. [ARTICLE]

INDUCTED INTO THE SERVICE.

J. J. Montgomery returned to Rensselaer Thursday everting from Indianapolis, where he had gone with Harrison Lytle, the young man who failed to entrain here with the selectmen on June 24. There was a disposition on the part of the federal officers to deal harshly with Lytle, but when informed by Montgomery that the boy had been influenced to do as he had by his parents, the officers allowed the selectman to be inducted into the service and he was sent to Camp Taylor. Montgomery, after spending considerable time with the offending selectman, felt that he was thoroughly penitent and but for the vicious advice of his parents he would have reported as the law required. Lytle made promises to the federal officers to the effect- that he would do all and everything possible to show that he was a patriotic man and a worthy soldier. BUY SAVINGS STAMPS TODAY.
