From The Indianapolis News, Tuesday, September 1, 1916: U. S. Army Lieutenant Gilbert Cook is inspecting the six Indiana National Guard recruiting offices recently opened throughout Indiana to ascertain what methods may be used to increase recruiting. Army Lieutenant Philip Remington, who is in charge of recruiting in Indiana, says the offices are not sending in men fast enough; only eighteen recruits have left for the border to join the state’s National Guard units stationed there and 3,500 recruits are needed. Motion pictures taken by Captain Archibald G. Chittick at the National Guard camp at Llano Grande, Texas will be one method used in an effort to stimulate recruiting. Other ideas will be implemented once Lieutenant Cook’s report has been received and it has been reviewed to see what work is being done in the state’s six recruiting districts.
