INDIANA GUARD CALL DELAYED

Troops Will Not Be Mobilized Until August 5. At a general staff conference held in Washington Friday it was decided to call the national guard to the colors in three installments, beginning on July 15, for early service in Europe. The units in midWestern states will be called out on the following dates: July 15, lowa, Michigan and Wisconsin; July 25, Illinois; August 5, Indiana and Kentucky. The first orders issued were for the Indiana troops to mobilize at their company rendezvous on June 15. This was the order received by Captain Tuteur several days ago, and as yet he has not received any rescinding order. However, be is of the opinion that an order Will reach him in a few days conforming to the decision of the general staff. This means that Company M will not mobilize here until August 5. Orders will then be issued for their next move, which in all probability will be to proceed to a concentration camp, probably Fort Benjamin Harrison at Indianapolis.
