HOW mo- SECURE A DISCHARGE.
soldiers VINO Want to TERMINATE Their
Military service should Observe the
War Department Rules.

Washington, Sept. 20.-The follow
ing statement is given out at the war
department:
..The war department is just at pres
emit undergoing an experience which.
illustrates the alacriry with which the
average American citizen hastens to-
his senator or representative In con-
gress for aid in emergencies.
1.-THE cessation of bostilities and the
improbability of their renewal, with
the duliness of camp life, has appar-
emily created feeling of restiessness
among the men of the volunteer army,
who, in the majority of cases, have :
given up positions of larger compensa-
ton. and many of them are imploring
their political representatives to OBJ
tain their discharges, and the latter In /,
turn are flooding the department with
requests for prompt and immediate
action.
A Privilege Abused.
ssTo such an abuse of privilege has
this grown that the war department
has been Obliged to call attention to :
that paragraph of the army regula-
tons which requires that all communi-
must pass through military channels,
and to decline, as a rule, to entertain
applications for discharges of enlisted
| men, unless they come to it in the
proper manner.
How to Secure o Discharge.
IA soldier who is DESTROYS of secur-
ing his discharge and has good and
sufficient reasons upon which to base
it, will save himself great amount of
time and trouble if he will set forth
the reasons for his discharge in let
ter addressed to the acknowledgement
of the army and hand it to the captain
| of his company, who, in turn, is re-
quired to forward it to the colonel of
the regiment, and the latter to pass it
| along through brigade, division and
corps headquarters, with their recon-
mendation. Unless this is done, the
department will send the papers back
| to the company commander.
Public Policy VIII Not Admit of 1t.
The department has also promul-
gated another ruling in this eonnec-
| ton which is to the effect that public
policy will not permit at this time the
| consideration of applications. for dis
charges of men serving in the Philip
| pine islands, Honolulu, Cuba, or Por-
| to Rico.
The reasons for this are obvious
Aside from the question of transporta-
ton involved and the necessity of
supplying the places of men who are
| to be discharged with others from
| the states, it is to be remembered
| that the war is not over and that much
depends upon the results and delibera-
tons of the peace commissioners, who
have sailed for Paris

DREYFUS DENOUNCED.
Che Due D'Orleans Issues Manifesto
Indited I'm Extreme Bitterness To-

Paris, Sept. 20.-The Due D'Orleans-
has issued manifesto denouncing the
Dreyfusites. The manifesto begins
thus:

The Due D'Orleans accuses the min

Dreyfus was guilty, under pretext of
calming the public, for their own prof
it. He declares that the prospect
makes his heart CULVER, and he con-
cludes his manifesto in these words.

1t is the first series of examinations
on record in which more than so per
cent. of the candidates were success
full, there being 81 applicants and 40
certificates issued. The surprising re-
suit is ascribed partly to the general
improvement in education, and partly
to the change in the plan of examina-

to choose five subjects, and take q
thorough examination on these, i'm
stead of the fifteen or twenty high
school or college subjects in a super
