INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 27. A branch postoffice was opened at Ft. Harrison today for the 3 000 national guardsmen who are encamped here. Postmaster Springsteen of Indianapolis decided to establish the postoffice after he found he had six sacks of mail for the fort. Five of the sacks were parcel post and apparently the contents indicated the folks back home were thinking of the hearty appetites of the boys.

COMSTOCO DRILL SQUAD HOLDS SPECIAL MEETING AT GLEN PARK TONIGHT

Paul Comstock announced today that his volunteer military training squad would hold a special drill session at 6:30 o'clock this evening at Glen Miller park. All the discipline foot drills will be rehearsed again and those who wish to join the troop but who have been unable to attend one of the former practices are especially requested to be present tonight. Mr. Comstock says that he is very well satisfied with the showing so far

but that he cannot underhand why more young men do not take advantage of such training when at any time they may be called to the Mexican front to protect the dignity of the flag. There is no obligation whatever connected with the training and a man with this training will be called into service no sooner than if he had never had any such drill. But in case he is called, he will know more about it and will stand more chance of get

ting an office, Mr. Comstock explained. The old Humely building where the automobile show was held has been secured for night drill. It Is being cleared of the boxes and machinery which has been stored there and will be ready for use next week. No arrangements have been made for guns. It will be almost impossible at this time to get equipment from the government but other plans are being made and it I', thought that guns can be secured by the time that the rookies are ready for them. Mr. Comstock said today that at least 60 men would have to sign up for drill and attend regularly if he continues the course of instruction. His efforts bring him no compensation whatever and he is doing it entirely for the benefit of the Richmond men and because of his patriotism. He says that he cannot, however, devote his time to the task unless a fair sized number take an active interest in the work.
