More than 400 soldiers belonging to
the two battalions of the Twenty-first
infantry have been given their dis
charge during the past week. A spe-
clale order from the war department
was received a few days ago which
provided for the discharge of all SOL
diers now in the TWenty-first infantry
who have less than two years and sew
en- months unexpired terms of service
since their last enlistment. The order
was issued in view of the fact that
this regiment is going to the Philip
pines in the spring, for 1t was deemed
1nadviSable that the government should
transport a lot of Short-term men to
the islands who would be privileged to
ask for their discharge soon after their
arrival there. In such an event the
travel pay to which each man is en-
titled upon his discharge is quite large
and this special order was promulgated
to obviate any such emergency. The
majority of the men discharged have
re-enlisted. About thirty have left the
service, and others who did not care to
go to the islands nor be discharged
have been transferred to other regi-
ments in the states.
A large number of families will go
with the regiment to the islands.
