Although quite common in all armies.

DRAFTED
MEN MAY ASK
A DISCHARGE

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. Oct. ls.-The
tional army AT Camp Travis. has issued a
statement covering applications for dis
-harge of drafted men of the national
army, IN Official Memorandum No. 81.
which IN substance j. a. follows:
A. the men are sent to the camp for
military duty, application for discharge
must not be- encouraged. When %applica-
tons are made for discharge, the follow
ing instructions must be strictly observed.
Two classes Of eases may be opened be-
fore local boards. Namely. where one
should have been exempted and has been
drafted through: First. error in law of a
local or district board. and second.
through the non -culpable ignorance If the
man drafted, in not claiming exemption
before the local or dSticksboard. Such
cases. however. are few Ssh they should
be- literally handled, as every man who
registers j. entitled to nave his ease con
sidered a. the selective service law pro-
vides.
Now, a very different ease Is presented
where the applicant has submitted his
claims 10 the local or district board and
has been denied exemption. In that ease
the facts have already been passed on b.,
the authority best able To Judge them. Tn,
military authorities cannot constiiut,
themselves boards of review of the actor
of local and district boards. Discharge,
in such cases can be ordered only by tn,
secretary of war, Washington, ID. e., an,
applications will be forwarded from thes,
headquarters only in very exceptiona
eases, or where new facts have arisei
since the ease was considered by the loca
or district board.
Every application must state fully thu
reason for asking for a discharge, an,
each must be carefully Investigated b,
commanding officers. Experience ha,
proven that little reliance can be- placed 81
letters and affidavits. Men from the HON,
town of the applicant can usually be found
from whom more exact information can b.
obtained IN regard to the facts. A lctte
