EXEMPTION FROM SERVICE.
Question Submitted to Judge Advocate
General Davis

A question was recently submitted to
the War Department by citizen Of New
ton. Kan. as to whether 1t is necessary
for elergymen and other nonresident citi-
zens OF Kansas to continue to furnish af-
hdavits as prescribed by the general stat
utes of Kansas that they are members of
organizations whose creed forbid the bear
Ing of arms in order to be exempt from
military service as provided by the act of
congress approved January 81. 1903, to
promote the efficiency OF the militia
Judge Advocate General Davis. to whom
the question was submitted, has given an
opinion to the adjutants general in which
he says:
The recently enacted general militia law
TACT OF January 81 1909 contains In its
second section designation OF persons and
classes OF persons who are exempt from
enrolment of the organized militia. This
clause of exemption follows a section In
which the liability of the citizen to serv-
Ice In the organized militia Is fully set
forth. As the militia actually embodied,
in pursuance of state statutes in that re-
gard bears but small proportion to the
number of citizens who are made liable to
service In the organized militia, 1t would
seem that 1t was hardly necessary, either
by executive regulation or by furtherfng
legislation, to provide method Of making
effective the exemption which IL contained
in the general militia law, since citizen
has only to forbear from enlisting In the
organized militia In order to secure an ex-
states have laws making additional ex-
emptions, but the enforcement of these
enactments fs a matter with which the
federal government has nothing to do. In
the case presented, as the exemption Is
established by the law of the state, one
who desires to obtain the benefit of 1t
must do so in the manner prescribed by
the law of the state"
