S.A., formerly city engineer of Gary, has arrived safe and sound at Paris. accorScns to a cablegram received by Mrs. Melton at Gary yesterday. Capt. Melton, who was engaged in instruction and training duties at Fort Leavenworth, wss suddenly detailed by the war department to go to Gen. Pershing's headquarters In France. The order was a great honor, as the Gary engineer preceeds thousands of regular army officers abroad. Captain Melton arrived at a French port two days ago. The nature of the captain's duties hav not been disclosed, but he has a reputation as a sewage disposal expert, as well as an authority on road building and cantcnement planning. In the meantime Mrs. Melton has become secretary of the Gary Red Cross. Today Mrs. Melton got word that her brother, Milton Qilling, .has been appointed a second lieutenant in the Wisconsin national guard. Captain Melton's former contracting partner. Captain Tom Cutler, will leave for Ford Leavenworth in a few days. HOLDS FIRST DRILL The first drill by the East Chicago company of state militia was held last evening at the Garf.eld auditorium. Calumet. At the command from Captain Young to "Fall in." sixty men stepped forward and lined up for instructions in the ways of a soldjer. There were office men. foremen and skilled laborers. Captain W. L. Young, who takes immediate charge of this company, is employed in the traffic department of the Inland Steel company. Before the drill began, he gave anyone an opportunity to ask questions concerning the service. The questions asked brought out the following information: In the first place, according to word from Washington, the state militia now being formed in the various states will not as companies be federalized. Mn may be drafted from the ranks of the company, as they may be from any walk in life, but the company as such will not be drafted into federal service. Any man may obtain an honoralsie discharge any time that he desires to leave this territory. There is nothing whatever to detain him. All necessary equipment will be furnished by the state, irrespective of any rumors that may have been circulated to the contrary. Uniforms, guns, etc., will be supplied just as soon as the company gives evidence of being under discipline sufficient to justify the state in making a distribution. Not only is the East Chicago company out-distancing nil its competitors in getting away quickly and efficiently, but it will be ahead of every other company in the state in that It will have arms to bear just as soon as the captain deems it advisable to put them into their hands. This became apparent last night when the captain announced that through the generosity of the Inland Steel company, the guns now belonging to the company of Inland boys would be available at any time for the miiitia if they were

needed before the. state could supply the regular equipment. Drill night will be once a week, and tn order to maintain standing with the state there must be a sixty per cent attendance at every drill. The company must have twelve more men. These men should corr.e from the hu.iness and profess., nal Interests of the city. Messrs. Potts, True nd Hulst. representatives of the committee, were at the drill last night, as were also a number cf business men and citizens.
