But soldiers make poor nurses and it was up to Captain Rimbach to stop the overflow of tears. "A dadda lalala la la. A da da da da da la la. Xow baby isn't going to cry any more, is It?" attempted to sooth the captain, but, "baby couldn't see It that way and "wow' waaaaa.' " "Baby" was handed back to Sergeant Charlie with no effect, but Just them mother walked In, Mrs. Chapman, and Vernon, that's what she , 'called "baby," silenced.

ers Thirty Thousand of Them Packed on Hot Sand With No Access to Lake Few Blocks Away. They could hardly sk;ep in crowded foreign quarters last Thirty thousand human beings, Gary's night, packed hundred in a district of only a fewacres, endured the torments of hell. The heat of the July sun, which is blow to leave the sand anl pavements of the foreign quarter. pr-r?isted through through the night. Exhausted steel workers and their families hardlygot sleep. The night was a bedlam of flies, mosquitoes, heat, ,d:rt. the crying of children, the howling of dogs and the moans of feverish men. who toiled all day at the sweltering mills and furnaces, and of tired women, who endured the day's heat in their shacks or crowded flats of two and three rooms. This is how things were down n trie foreign quarts las evening. Up town, where homes sre m t so crowded it was different, but the y 'suffered neverthless. What Tbe Well To Oo Have. The well to do residents of Gary last night, who are in a measure inconvenienced by being barred from the seven miles of lake frontage, motored to their summer homes at Miller beach, where they ' enjoyed Lake Michigan. Gary has sev&n miles of lake frontage but the New York landlords have other uses for it. This is why Gary's foreign quarter is a hell hole on a summer night. If the New York magnates relent maybe some day the people of Gary can have further us of their lake than buying water from the New Yorkers. If Gary only had a 100-acre park on the lake front things might be different. WRESTLE Tonight the -wrestling fans will swarm over to Columbia hall.

This Instead of a company of 130 men each company will have 230 men and each battalion 1.000 men. each regiment 3.000 men. There will be two Infantryregiments to a brldgade and two brigardes of infantry to a division, leaving about 5.000 men for artillery. As chief of battalion Maj. Umpleby will command 1.000 instead of 6"0 soldiers, the present war strength arrangement. Until the Mexican call it was a good regiment that had a thousand men and few battalions bad over 200. Co. "F" of Gary will have 250 men Instead of a captaincy and two lieutenants there will be a captain (mounted) and four lieutenants. The company probably will be divided in.to three parts, one of machine gun operatives, one of riflemen, and-one of bomb throwers. And as the Garyites sre expert baseball players it is expected, Lieut. Riley'a command will make a great record in the bomb throwing work.

CALLAHAN DID PROTEST Tho press of the state does not seem to be aware of the fact that East Chicago is not satisfied with its extremely large quota of drafted men and that they have made formal protest to the proper authorities. Mayor Callahan himself made this protest some time ago, in the belief that the business and manufacturing interests of the city and the citizens as well did not want to see this city bearing a burden out of proportion to that borne by other cities of the same size. Although this rrotest was of no avail in this first conscription, it is believed that the city will get some recompense when the second drawing takes place. WHITING MAN JOINS U. S.
