SOLDIERS ALLOWED
TO BUY DISCHARGES
WAR DEPARTMENT MAs RMNl.
LAR >sALE OF PRlCES THAT
MAY HE PAID IN TIMES on
PEACE.

Washington, II. C.-Tle recent
ease OF George Curry, the United
States soldier who sought his release
from a sl3 a month job i'm the army
in order that he might accept AN offer
OF $500 a month to play ball With
the ST. Louis American team, has
turned attention upon the procedure
necessary tor a soldier to throw off
the burden of military discipline.
1t is not generally known that the
War Department permits hundreds of
soldiers annually to purchase their
release from the army before their
enlistment terms have expired. SO
numerous are the applications for
this relief chat a regular scale Of prize
cs depending upon the length of SER
vice, has been drawn up. This is
allowed only in times of peace, how
ever. In cas- of war all applications
for discharge would be refused.
No applications for discharge by
purchase are entertained unless the
applicant has served at leas, one
year in the army. The price of dis
charge after II Years service is
$l20. The figure then decreases
With each year of service. as follows:
two wears, $500: three years. $50;
four years, $SS; five years. $50: six
years, $50; eve years. $50: eight
wears, $50; nine years. $40; ten
years, $50; and after II years, $50.
Thirty dollars is the minimum.
Soldiers buying their discharge
from the army must also sacrifice
any and all travel allowances due on
discharge. In cases where it is
shown that the soldier has relatives
or others dependent upon him, that
lie has made contributions to their
support from his pay, and that these
are insufficient for their mainten-
ance, the purchase price may be re-
mitted. Many cases of this sort are
encountered, especially where a sal
der has entered the army without
anyone dependent upon, and subse-
quently through deaths or otherwise,
he becomes the only source Of sup
port of relatives.
1t is not the policy Of the depart
mcnt to grant discharges by pur-
chase when there is any special rea-
son in his case to the contrary, or
when there is a trifling reason, or no
reason at all, in support of his appli-
cation.
