STAFF TO ASSIST IN WELCOME

PLANS TO WELCOME RETURNED SOLDIERS BEING • MADE. Continuing for Governor Goodrich the arrangements of an official state welcome for returning soldiers of th® 137th and 139th artillery regiments, and for others to follow, Harry B. Smith, adjutant general of Indiana, Monday called on twenty-seven members of the Governor’s Military staff to assist in preparing a welcome for the returning soldiers, Richard Lieber, a colonel of the staff, is the Governor’s military secretary. Generdl Smith is sending out letters to each of the twenty-two mayors of cities which were formerly Indiana national guard headquarters, asking them to select a chairman of their welcoming committees which they were asked some time ago to name. The adjutant general will thereafter conduct correspondence with the committees through the chairmen, since the committees are to be permanent. Mayor Jewett, of Indianapolis, has selected Samuel D. Miller as chairman of the committee to represent that city, and he, together with the members of the committee, will cooperate with the committees from the other cities.
