THE SOLDIERS PAROLE.
What Il Meant by 1t and How 1t II
ARRANGED

Parole. it must be understood. is
purely voluntary compact The captor
is not obi. d to offer to parole his
prisoner. and the prisoner Is not oblig-
ed and cannot be compelled to give his
parole.
If he does so. he will probably be re-
leased on pledging his word not to
serve during the existing war. If he
refuses, he will remain captive until
the war is over or until he can make
his escape.
The usual parole pledge extends only
to active service against the enemy.
A prisoner released on parole is not
breaking his contract if he drills. re-
cruits. quells civil connections or fights
other enemies.
\ soldier taken prisoner has no au-
thority to pledge himself never to serve
against a particular enemy. He can
not throw off thus lightly the duty he
owes his sovereign or country. and if
lie makes any pledge it must be con-
fined to a limited time.
Moreover, if a prisoner should make
pledge not approved by his own gov
eminent he is bound to return and sur
render himself to the enemy.
In the British army soldier can
only give his parole through a COM
mssioncd officer Even noncOmmis-
stoned officer or an officer OF inferior
rank cannot give parole either for him.
self or for his men without permission
from his commanding officer.
The United States authorities, by the
way. give greater liberty of parole than
Is the case with Tie Briti5n army.
A captured prisoner " ho has violated
his parole may hc punished W.,n death.
