HOOSIER TROOPS L ARE MUSTERED IN State Militia Now Belongs to United States Army. ABOUT 4,000 AT FT. HARRISON Reservation Has Never Seen Busier Times—Enormous Quantities of Supplies Received — Drills Harden Untrained Men. Indianapolis. — There are nearly 4.000 Indiana boys bf the state militia at Fort Benjamin Harrison. All of them have been mustered into the federal service. They are now directly under the orders of the president. Every man of them is glad of it and eager to show what he can do in real war. The whole Guard hasjbeen drilling with great energy and is still at it. Drilling for actual war has more to it than summer encampment work of the well-known variety. There is a hint that some of the units will move to the border soon, according to instructions from the war department. Hospital and artillery companies are in good condition. Members of these bodies hope they will get the first call. There has been a tremendous rush of supplies to the fort. . Steam and traction lines, army wagons and even farmers’ wagons have been busy for several days now transporting thousands of tons of food, clothing and ottier necessities to the soldiers. Throughout the state there has been a tine burst of practical patriotism. Everywhere there is a movement to organize new companies and new regiments. It isn’t unlikely that Indiana, wjll be able to offer a brigade within a short time. Unofficial information that some units of the Guard are likely to start to the Mexican border soon has been made public following the receipt of copies of orders from the war department at Washington to the central department of the army. Capt. John A. Toffey, Jr„ mustering officer of the Indiana troops, received these orders in a dispatch from Adjutant General McCune at The dispatch, in effect, ordered Captain Toffey to notify the war department as rapidly as each unit of the Indiana militia is “reasonably prepared” for active service. These troops are to be rushed to the border to report at points to t\e designated by General Funston, according to present plans of the war department. Text Is Not Made Public. Captain Toffey said he could not make the text of the orders he had received from the war department public. but he verified the information contained therein which seemed almost instantly to percolate through the ranks of the high Guard officers at the statehouse when it was received. The telegram first was delivered to Fort Benjamin Harrison, as it was addressed to the chief mustering officer of the Indiana National Guard at Fort Benjamin Harrison. The dispatch was then brought to this city and turned over to Captain Toffey. Captain Toffey said that he would communicate with the war department at frequent intervals from now on to determine when each of the Indiana units of the Guard could be considered as “reasonably prepared.” He expressed the opinion that it is possible' that some of the better units of the Guard, such as a field hospital, or perhaps a battery of artillery, might be dispatched to the Mexican border within a week or ten days. Captain Toffey said he did not intend, troops should leave Fort Benjamin Harrison before they had been drilled and equipped to a point where it was felt safe for them to proceed. In case of emergency calls from the border, however, there might be possibilities of a battalion of infantry or two being sent “if they could save another battalion that might be placed in such position that re-enforcements” were its only salvation. Increased Recruiting Expected. The receipt of the news from the war department put niorp spirit into the work of the Guard officers and men about the headquarters than even the strenuous hours of last week did. word flew throughout the city that the movement of the Indiana troops —at least some of them —to the border might be expected. Guard officers, whose commands are practically ready for concentration, rushed their final preparations with all possible speed and the quartermaster and adjutant general’s forces speeded up, although the< are tired out with the labors of the last few days. Captain Toffey and Lieut. Philip Remington, assistant instructor inspector. have removed their headz quarters from the state house to the camp. After the guardsmen were mustered into the federal service they were inspected for physical defects and those that could not meet requirements were discharged at once. Small physical defects, which will not incapacitate a man for service, but which might have Tearing on future claims for pensions, were noted by the i lustering officers from the reports of the physicians who made the physical examinations.

More Equipment Is Needed. Franklin L. Bridges, the adjutantgeneral. said that while additional equipment to bring the guard’s paraphernalia up to war conditions may have been shipped by the federal government, it has not yet reached Indianapolis. Until that is done, he added, the guard cannot bridge the difference between its equipment for peace strength, which Is supposed to be always on hand, and its equipment for war strength. The stopping of the proposed shipment of a carload of rifles, canteens and similar articles, which had been brought here for the use of the civilian training camps, provided the guard with about enough rifles anti canteens. However, additional clothing and other equipment is necessary. Ou the time of arrival of the additional materia] will depend in great part the time the militia as a whole, is ready for entrainment to go to the border. Nearly 4,000 Under Arms. It was Confidently expected that the news from Washington would increase recruiting throughout the state to a point hitherto apparently inq>ossible. The orders from Washington were explicit in providing that the mustering officer need not wait for the completion of a particular tactical unit of the Guards before reporting it as ready for orders to proceed to the border. The Information said that orders of the sort had been transmitted to the central department. Approximately 3.500 men are under arms in Indiana, according to an .estimate made by Maj. Gideon W. Blain, judge advocate of the guard, from official reports from company commanders. Major Blain said the commandwould run close to .4.000 men. Hammond “Vets” Organize. Hammond is organizing a company of Spanish-American war veterans of 150 men. commanded by Charles E. Wood, commander of Pohlman camp, United Spanish-AnSerlcan War Veterans, to be mustered into the Indiana National Guard. Mr. Wood served three years in the Cuban war, and was drill inspector at the San Jose Military Training academy, at Havana. The organization of a volunteer reserve company in Evansville has been proposed by Carl Driesch.’secretary to Mayor Benjamin Bosse and president of the German Alliance society. Drieseb is talking the fnatter up among his friends. His plan is to organize a company and prepare it to answer a call for volunteers if President Wilson should issue one. More than sixty applied for enlistment one day at the recruiting office opened there by Lieut. Col. Julius Blum, at (he request of F. L. Bridges, adjutant general of the. Indiana National Guard. Only a few of these men were rejected. - Many Flags Fly. Governor Ralston asked John D. Shea, custodian of the statehouse, tc_ run up as many American flags as possible on the staffs at the statehouse, and to decorate the front and other parts of the big building with the flag in a conspicuous manner. Shea’s forces responded by draping the entrances to the statehouse with enormous American flags trtid by setting up new flagstaffs at some points. Col. John R. Fesler, assistant adjutant general of the Gram! Army of the Republic, department of Indiana, has laid before Governor Ralston a letter from Dr. S. 1. Brown of Knox, in which the service of members of tht William Landon post, G. A. R., No. 290, was offered to the governor for military duty in any capacity he might see tit. The letter follows: “My Dear Colonel: Some four or five of the members of William Landon post. G. A. R.. No. 290, have just had a meeting ami have decided to ask you to go to Governor Ralston’s office and say to him that there tire some of the post who are still able to perform some service in the United States army, and if we are needed in any capacity. we want him to know that he is authorized to call on us. We also decided that we knew of no one who could better present our wishes than you. Very truly, “S. I. BROWN.” The Governor’s Reply. The governor answered the letter as follows: “I appreciate the offer of these old veterans, and if their services are needed. I shall not hesitate to call on them. Their patriotism is fine, but 1 do not believe the young men of the state will permit a condition to arise that will make it necessary for our Civil war soldiers again to go to the front for the flag of their country.” Lieut. Robert G. Kirkwood of the Tliird fieltb artillery. United States army, who has been artillery instruc-tor-inspector for the National Guard batteries at l,afayette and Purdue university. and who has been designated by the war department as an assistant to -Captain Toffey, has been ordered immediately to Fort Benjamin Harrison to drill the artillery batteries. The inventory of all property now in the hands of the National Guard has been undertaken by the United States officers, as well as the inventories of the new property that the federal government will send to the concentration point. The supplies now in the hands of Governor Ralston, for the use of the guard, has been taken over under federal supervision by the mustering officers. Captain Toffey will remain at the fort and .lay QUt a scheme of instruction for the troops during the time they are in camp. He also will serve as instructor. SHORT STATE ITEMS.
