sS~ General Cooper has issued a general
orderthat all discharges for disability shall
be held unconditional, dependent upon the
disability, aud valid only during its contu.
uauce. IF, on examination, the disability
is at any time found to have ceased, the
holders will be liable to conscriptiou, to
serve the uuexpired terms of their enlist
ments. This regulation applies to substi'
tutes, whether under or over the age of con-
scriptiou. Their services are due for the
war. and the Government should not be de-
priVed of them, for what proves to be a
temporary disability.
