to those who will consent to be mus

cannot be blamed for wishing to be mus
tered out where they will receive the most
pay; though it is clearly a rank injustice
to force them to lose their travel pay
as an alternative for being mustered out
at home where the Government got them.
To thus force them, from financial con-
sderations, to be mustered out two thou-
sand miles from home and then to dis
guise the act under pretense that the sol
diers have done so of their own free will
