Several days ago credit was sent to
the local board for .Sweeny. but as the
notification did not state whether this
district was given credit for Sweeny
because he had deserted after his re-
port at Camp Dodge or whether he
was still at Camp Dodge, the local
board wrote for information.
The letter which arrived this morn

Sweeny since the notification of his
supposed desertion.
Sweeny was assigned to n company
and thru a mistake failed to report
