"We have a lieutenant instructing us who was over in France for six months. He says its the best thing: we could set into. Tou wrote that I should have my pictures taken. Well I will as soon as I look like a real soldier. I mean by that that I won't have them taken until I can stand along side the big gun I will use when we are after old "Bill."Say.

GOVERT, Battery B. 73rd Art.. Ft. Constitution, X. H. From Karl Helwig. Camp Johnston. Fla.. July 25. 1918. Dear Mother and Father: I expect this will be the last letter you will receive from me while at this camp because we are leaving tomorrow morning at 8 a. m. for the port of embarkation. Our barracks bags were put on the train yesterday. We are not allowed to leave our company streets under penalty of 5 to 25 years imprisonment. It seems as though some have been missing out of the other companies when they were taken to the train. This Is the crack company of the supply companies. The drill masters praised us for being the best drilled and most attentive company he had drilled while in this camp. We have learned in two weeks what other cornranks do In six months. It is a case of emergency to land this company in France in the shortest time possible. We have our ordnance which consists of a pack that straps on the back to carry blankets, mess kit and toilet set. also a belt with a canteen, holster and first aid set. We were issued an overcoat. I was measured yesterday for my oversea suit. We will get it at the port. We took the gas test in the a.fternoon. Wo had to put it on in three seconds after the gas shell exploded. Then we knelt on the right knee opening the side with the right hand and the nose clip with the left to detect the gas. The wind carried most of it away. The next step was to leave the mask on while digging a trench to get accustomed to the mask. After 15 minutes of this exercise we were placed in a room filled with gas. At first I could not detect the gas. Then it struck my forehead and began to smart. We had to take our masks off and run for the door. It burns the eyes but no one was hurt. One could not stand in the room without a mask even if it was tear gas. I received permission from the lieutenant to leave this morning to practice a few more calls. I do not remember of tell you I was the company bugler and instructor of the semiphore code. I had the company (250 men) out Tuesday afternoon teaching them part of tha code. I am taking up some French, although it is like eating stick candy. A bugler who knows the code can save many a step and probably a life. It should be compulsory for every soldier.

Not one hand went up. If a man does not want to, he will be transferred to the remount. I doubt if I will get a furlough after I arrive at the port. I may be able to see Will tf he Is still In Hempstead. I received the box with the cake and candy. We are having a good time and are satisfied now since we are on our way to France. I will write while I am on the train but will give you my oversea address at the port. Hoping this finds you well and happy. With love. KARL F. HELLWIG, No. 3075067. Q. M. Supply Co.. 319.

July SO. Increased significance to the story that the Republican leaders in Indiana are going to take an active part in the national campaign three years hence and that certain Indiana Republicans may hold high, places in the councils of the national party from now on. was seen here today when It became known that Governor James P. Giodrich had slipped away late Saturday for a conference in Chicago yesterday with National Chairman Will H. Hays. L. W". Henley, secretary of the Republican state committee, also attended the conference in Chicago and it is known that the Indiana Republicans brought back to Indiana with them some concrete ideas on thn methods that w;Il be used effectively during the congressional and state campaign that is just in the offering. Whether the governor was invited to attend the Chicago conference by the national leaders of course is not known here, but It Is supposed that his good friend Hays, desiring to obtain the Indiana viewpoint at first hand before laying definite plans for the Republican congressional campaign in the western states, sent for the state's chief executive. At any rate the governor went and it is believed that the Republican TONIC UPBUILDER Stubborn Cough, Weak Lungs and Colda Try Eckman's Alterative For many years this Calcium prepar ation has maintained an ever-increas ing reputation for accomplishing good, and often remarkable results. $2 Size $1 Size now 80c now $1.50 Price Include War Tax.

S3 5.00 3.98 2.98 campaign for the state ticket will open with a bang here in the very near future. It is known that much of the material which will be used by the Republicans, to show the failures and mistakes of the Democrats, already has been prepared and the utilization of this material unquestionably was discussed at the Chicago conference. Some leading Democrats in Indiana. It is known, are not at :i pleased with some of the autocratic methods now being adopted by Democratic leaders in the congressional candidate situation in various parts of the country. The Republicans are sternly opposed to the nomination of a candidate by either party who is not whole-heartedly behind the winning of the war, but they say they are likewise sternly opposed to any action by leaders of either party that will, for political reasons, either injure or aid the chances of any congressional candidate who may or may not be particularly acceptable to the party leaders. If such attempted autocratic movement becomes discenrible. it is said here. Democrats will join with Republicans to block it at least in Indiana. E, WILL USE ECOHY Several of the departments ia the municipal government of East Chicago are in the throes of reorganization in order to carry out a program of rigid economy necessitated by the increase of the cost of labor, materials, supplies and equipment of every kind. Mayor McCormack and the Board of Works as well as the City Council are planning on some revolutionary changes in the very near future. At the meeting yesterday the condition of the finances as a whole came up and it was clearly apparent that at the present rate the city would be in debt fully $100,000 on running expenses by the close of the year. It also developed that one of the funds most nearly exhausted was that of the street department. Until a late hour yesterday afternoon this matter was discussed by the mayor and Board of Works. No definite conclusions were reached and the board adjjourned until this afternoon to continue their deliberations. The indications are that there will' be a wholesale cut in the street department and that the street commissioner at Fast Chicago, the assistant street commissioner at Indiana Harbor, several foremen and about two-thirds of the force will be laid off for a month or more in order that new plans may be

The mayor said that he would do part of this work himself and other members of the board agreed to spend some time in planning and supervising whatever work that actually had to be done. In the discussion the opinion was advanced by President Ottenheimer that by careful plans and rigid economy they could save the city from $2,000 to $3,000 a month. Details are in progress.
