The Times acknowledges the receipt of tho following; letter from Captain Allen Twyman of Company I. 1st Ind. Infantry of East Chicago: East Chicago. Ind., May 14, 'IT. Editor Iake County Times, Hammond, Indiana. Considerable rumors have been circulated through East Chicago, Indiana Harbor and vicinity, that men enliatd in the National Guard of Indiana will be required to serve three full years in service and three years in the re
curve of the National Guard, and that
such men will not be discharged at the termination of the war. On ibehalf of the National Guard organizations in Lake county. Indiana. 4 wish, to emphatically deny any such statements or rumors and also wish to Btatt that such men enlisting in the National Guard since the declaration of war will at their option be discharged at the termination of the war. As authority for this statement. I have the following- telegram contained in General Orders No. 13 .. G O., Stat cf Ind:ana, hich reads as fol- , lows: i .. ,.

Py way of explanation I will state that the signor of this telegram is the Adjutant General of the IT. S. Army.

Subject Discharge of enlisted men after termination of present emerg
ency.
1. General Order No. 23 was recently
received containing copy of telegram from the Adjutant. General V. S. Army to the Commanding General, Central Department. Chicago. Illinois, wherein
it is advised that it is the policy of
the War Department to discharge all men who have enlisted since the
declaration of war upon the termina tlon of the emergency.
2. Considerable opposition In this
vicinity has been circulated that no men enlisted in the National Guard
will be discharged after the termina
tion" of the present, emergency -until
they have served fully three years in
the service and three years in the re
serve.
:! A trreat manv men enlisted at
this time were desirous of serving only during the termination of the present emergency and their enlistments have
been secured through the promise of discharge after such period. 4. Would you please advise me the Recruiting Officer of Company Ihas. the authority to make such prom-

Captain Indiana. Infantry. In reply to the above letter I received the following letter from the Adjutant General of the State of Indiana: "Adjutant General's Office. Indianapolis. Ind.. May 21. '17. To CoFnrnanding Officer, Co. D. 1st Ind. Inf.. East Chicago. Ind. 1. He turned. You are advised that all men of the National Guard enlisted sfince the declaration of war April 6. 191". will 'be discharged at the termination of the present emergency. These men will not be required to serve three years in active service and three years in the reserve. You have full authority to give this statement the widest publicity in your vicinity. (Signed) Harry B- Smith. The Adjutant General." As an officer of the National Guard and as a citizen whose efforts, together with many other citizens of this community, who are working for the purpose of rendering such assistance to our country as is possible in its present stress, I regret very -much that this controversy lias arisen and can only say that the source from which such rumors come are antagonistic to the National Guard. Any rumor, false statement or misrepresentation circulated in such times as this, no matter how flimsy or weak such statements may -be, have their effect towards destroying the confidence in organizations of this kind, and certainly such statements or rumors cannot originate from patriotic sources.
Personally I do not know who started
such false statements concerning the National Guard in this vicinity, but it
is my opinion that the originators of such statements will receive only con
demnation from, well-thinking citizens
and patriotic men' and women. This letter is not being written in any spirit f animosity, but is-jnerely for the purpose of placing the National Guard In the right light.
It makes little difference to officers
of the National Guard or to the coun
try at largo where the men choose to serve, either In the National Guard organizations or In the Regular Army, and if any men choose the Regular Army in preference to the National Guard, I will give them support. In fact, several men whom I have solicited for enlistment in the National GuarJ have expressed their preference for the, regular services in either the Army or Navy, and they have always received my urgent request that they enlist in such service immediately, and it is my earnest wish that a great number of men from this community will enlist in the regular service of the 17. S. Army and Navy, as well as in the National Guard. The country at thlfi time needs men badly, and it is my urgent wish that all young men volunteer in either the
Regular Army or the National Guard at once, because if they do-not so volunteer soon, it is only a matter of a few weeks until the Conscription "Law will force them to serve their country, and in my opinion it will he more preferable to serve with the volunteer or
ganizations than with the conscriptive Army. Therefore, in conclusion, I urge all young men of military age to "enlist at once and place. East Chicago, Indiana Harbor and Lake county'in the position of leading the state of Indiana In furnish -olunteers for services in the
V. S. Army, Navy and "National Guard. Yours very truly, A. P. TWYMAN. Commanding Officer Company I. 1 Infantry, I. N. G.
