half dozen Arabs stood and waited

the distant line of palms, the foremost

RULES ADOPTED
FOR FREEING men
Guardsmen with Dependent
Relatives Will Be Released
Upon Application.

A series of rules for the guidance of
department commanders in discharging
enlisted men of the National Guard or
organized militia who have dependent
relatives was made public by the War
Department yesterday.
Commanders are instructed not only
to issue discharges upon application but
to bring to the attention of the War De-
partment cases in which enlisted men
with dependent relatives express a de-
sire to remain in the service and at the
same time refuse to allot any portion
of the pay to the family.
The dispatch to the department COM
manders follows:
Department commanders may issue
discharges from service to enlisted men
of National Guard or organized militia
called into service of United States who
are serving within their respective de-
partments provided applications for dis
charge are made in due form through
military channels to department comman-
ders, setting forth that the applicant has
one or more relatives who are dependent
upon him for support, the application to
be accompanied by adequate written evil
dence of real dependency.
When 1t comes to the knowledge of a
commanding officer. through authentic
sources, that a soldier of his command
mas one OF more dependent relatives, the
soldier concerned will be informed Of his
right to make application for discharge
on such account, and discharge will be
issued upon application If warranted by
the circumstances. Should the soldier ex-
press a desire to remain in the service
and at the same time decline to allot
any portion of his pay to family or de-
pendents, the case will be reported to
the War Department for final action.
when an application for discharge has
been finally approved, the proper recruit
ing agencies will be at once informed,
so that the vacancy caused may be filled
as promptly as possible. Recruiting and
mastering officers will be enjoined to
avoid acceptance of recruits having rela-
tives dependent upon them for support.
Department commanders will make report
TO the War Department at close of each
month of the number of National Qua I'd
soldiers discharged by them during
monthly period under these instructions. 8"
