orospis 3d Jackson Will Enter Ofneers' Training Camp Has Been Making Patriotic Speeches Governor to Hake Appointment. INDIANAPOLIS.' IND, July P. In tendering his resic-r.at ion ay secretary of state and making application to enter the officers' training camp which will open at Fo-t Benjamin Harrison on August 7, Ed Jackson is taking some of tho r-ar.ic medicine tret he has been prescribing for other men in the state. Fer several weeks Jackson has been making speeches at patriotic meetings in arious rlac.es, and at recruiting meetings. In all of these speeches he advised and urged men to enlist in the army or navy. When he announced. Friday afternoon hat he had decided to apply for membership in the training camp he said: "I've felt more and more that I should do this. Tcu know I've been making speeches all over the state, urging men to enlist, and i" has come horn ; to rue Lhat it is the-rif-ht thing for r.--. .. do to take the same step myself." The office of secretary of state carnes a saiary . : 00 year, and inas much as Mr. Jackson was elected last fall and took office last December, he still has a" year and a half to serve of his present term. And he probably woub' have been renominated if he had remained la office. Therefore, it is easy to see that he is making a very heavy f.nai.cial sacrifice in resigning the office .1 entering the army. His resijrnat'on is to take effect when he is accepted for service at the training camp, but not before. He lias already taken r. physical examination equal to that which he will undergo at the training camp, and the physicians have pronounced him in good physical condition and fit for the training camp. Therefore, there seems to he little doubt that he will make it. ail right.

ROW JUST WHAT IS 'GUTS POPIIUTIOfl?

Governor's Office Again Warns It's 110,000; Local Claim 54,000. jMayor R. "O. Johnson of Gary, supervisor of exemption boards, today got another Utter from state conscription agent Jesse Esohbach of Governor Goodrich's office insisting that the war department will ' reckon Gary's population on a basis of 100,000 to 110,000 and will make its draft from 'hat quota. This, it is pointed out, would be unfair to Gary as it has a large proportion of young men. The gorernor's c "ice and the war department is in the habit of mt ltiplying the number of registrants, which in Gary's case svas 11.000, by 10. Local exemption boards tised the figure five, claiming it will give a good idea of the population as Gary is know n to have mora young men than it has middleaged men. If the high figures are used it Is pointed out that :c will work an injustice to the city end compel it to giv: twice as many soldiers as it should. APPEALS FDH HEH FOfl OFFICERS' CAMP Lake County Men Now in Training at Harrison Send Out Plea. Gary. Hammond and East Chicago men in training at the officers' reserve camp at Indianapolis, have sent scores of appeals to their friends to aid in get'ing men for the next camp, applications for which must be in by July 15. One of 1 the notices forwarded to Ths Times by' .Tas. A. Dearbevne. formerlv of Our. J and for many years in the regular arm is as follows: la Training-, Plrst Officers Camp. CAMP EEXJ. HARRISON. uly 6. Iear Friend: As you know, I am here! in training, and I think you will be interested in knowing about the Second Officers' Training Camp which is soon to be held. ' The following telegram has bein received from the war department ' in Washington: "Washington, D. C. "The statement that mature men will be given preference for the second series of Officers' Training Camps seems to have been misunderstood in some quarters. This preference will only applywhere qualifications are equal. There is ro intention to bar out applications from men under 31. In fact, examining officers have been instructed to regard the ages from 23 to 33 as the most sultsble. There Is also some misunderstandj ing about the necessity of previous mil- ( itary experience. The government is looking primarily for successful and forceful men and military experience, though desirable, is not strictly necessary. (Signed) "GENERAL M'CAIN, "The Adjutant General."
