You insolently disregard our request
and ask US to mind our own business.
That Is just what we propose to do. It
Is our business just now to help those
whose hands are unfortunately tied.
and are, therefore, unable to help them
selves.
A short time ago, we are informed,
petition was started among the boys In
your regiment asking that the regiment
be mustered out of the service. After
few score of names had been signed to
that petition it was brought to your no.
tice, when the work was peremptorily
stopped on threat of courtmartial at
your hands. This board is not subject to
a courtmartial, and therefore 1t pro-
poses to take up the work where the
boys were compelled by you to lay 1t
down.
The boys enlisted for two years or
during the war. They have done what
they have been called upon to do like
true soldiers. Their term Of enlistment
has expired by limitation. as the war
is over, and they are entitled now 10
return home. The boys have suffered
the miseries of disease-breeding
camp. Hundreds of them have lain for
weeks in the overcrowded hospitals.
Many of them have been taken to their
last resting place. If your feeling for
your men Is as earnest as ours you
would unite with the fathers and moth
ers. sisters and brothers and other rela-
tives and friends and assist the war
board In securing an honest expression
from the boys In each company on the
question Of being mustered out
