A IETTEB TBO M CHATKES. To the Editor of The Times: Somewhere in Massachusetts, May 23." if that great author, Kipling, had in mind anything like the army when he wrote "Where it's always double drill and no canteen," he knew whereof he spoke, and to use the classic vernacular of the field "Gunga Din" would have to be some boy to deserve the praise he received were he to take the hard and whirlwind course of training prescribed here. The days whirl by like a huge notched pinwheel, every notch indicating some extra task started and successfully finished and when the boys turned in today after the first hattery drill we have had they were all tired but a happy lot of rookies.
Monday and Tuesday were unusually
strenuous days. All of the new men were taken to the battery and it looked
Kina or lunny to watcn an the green-
ies" in their first real battery drill. There were plenty of sighting exercises and the arms ached, the muscles discovered the existence of which nothing before had been dreamed of. Loading the projectiles was another hard task and the hands were full of action till the mess call sounded. The writer was over to visit the eleven Hammond boys- at Fort Banks and one of the ncl' rookies approached me and said, "I have read your stories in The Times about the schedule of work. They really don't work you as hard as you say, do they? I told him that every wortl printed was the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The new rookie went away with a doubtful look on his face. Pending the arrival of the new man1 i
uals embodying British layout practice to be adopted by the United States army, the Hammond boys at Fort Banks had the theory of the new system explained to them, at their conference today. A Touring-rain was falling when the
Hammond boys from ou fort took tne government boat to Boston. Saturday, where all of us visited most every historical spot in the "bean" city. Reports that the men are discour
aged are arousing resentment all through the post. And one rookie pointed out that even after the men are released from duty they voluntarily practice in various drills. First Sergeant John Hollup is impressing upon the men thu responsibility of caring for their rifles. "Walter K. Jordan and Forrest Gan-

wart have been given a thorough hair clipping, not under an orders but on a sort of mock Joke. Harry Beckett is the latest to' be heard from and the latter finds himself located at Fjrt Totten, N. Y. Johnny Casey, who was rejected because he was under weight, writes that he will -enlist before the conscription starts. IRVING CHATKE.V.
Hammond. Ind, June 6th, 1917. To teti Editor of The Times: Dear Sir: I have finished reading the final appeal of the Hon. William E. Mason of Illinois against conscription in the H. R. and it has done more to startle my mind than anything I have read upon the srubject. The encyclopedias tell very little re

1, v 1 y maidens that are attending a girls' school there and both report that Margaret Lamprcll and Gladys Bell are some hostesses. Both of the young men mentioned were taken throughout the Harvard university and other well known spots, and from the joy on the face of Mr. Jordan one would think that the boys were felted to suit a king. Winn Jones and Fred Beckman, stationed at Fort , in New Hampshire, were also over to Cambridge and the boys left early so as to get back to the fort, which is 65 miles from Boston, in time. That musical Jones of Fort Banks is being loved by all the girls for his sweet lips. The writer came across several East Chicago boys who are being trained on the cruiser Chester in the Boston harbor, and the Lake county sailors all agreed that they were entirely satisfied with the life of a sailor. Everywhere Jerry Collins and "Honey" Kingston go they attract attention and at times remarks could be heard that both look like mere youngsters. Gardner Voorhies and Kenneth Ste;

If these testimonials were not genuine, the authorities would not allow me ta publish them- Many were wheel-chair and bed invalids. W. A. VARNEY.
"I could give you a thousand reasons why Var-ne-sis ha3 become so popular, why one man recommends it to another," said W. A- Varney, the discoverer of Var-ne-sis.

Gen. Francis Marion would not enlist
a man unless he believed in the follow

not believe in oppression or, being op

greatest I know of in American history.
Some writers think that Champ Clark
was playing pontics Because he op

against it on the ground tbat the gov

General Dickey, who was chief of Garnt's staff, stated, "They had a gen
eral understanding that when, they
were in close quarters in the enemy's neighborhood never to put a drafted man on the picket line." Everybody knows Colonel Roosevelt. Half of the people hate him and half of the people love him. However, it must be admitted that he is fearless, and that he organized 600,000 volunteers, and could have secured 2,000,000 if he wanted them. Gentlemen, I believe the men in America were willing to volunteer if given time. And where men are willing to volunteer naturally, sentiment must be against conscription. In concluding, let me say If America is to be made a military country, the principle of democracy should be extended to the army. I further believe the issue throughout the world is to make the armies democratic from top to bottom. As an internal and external patriot, I remain yours truly, VM. KELLY. F. S. Voice of the people.
HURT ON ROAD TOHAMMOND VALPARAISO. IND., June 12. A big Overland car collided with one corner of the Joliet bridge west of the city. The car was badly wrecked, and the occupants were more or less shaken up. Robert Bassow and wife, his brother-in-law, Mr. Took, and family, had arrived here from Chicago, their home, earlier in the afternoon, and arrangements had been made whereby the party, together with Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Bassow, of this city, would go to Hammond to spend Sunday with relatives. C XV. Bassow with a companion was in his car traveling ahead, at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, just starting for Hammond, ollowing came Robert Bassow and a crowded car. In crossing the overhead bridge the car failed to make the turn, and the car crashed into the bridge. Mr. Took was thrust through the windshield of the Overland and cut about the head and face.
