ORDERS FOR RE.OPENING CASES
For Men Held for Service who Should
Have Been Discharged.

Little Rock, Sept. 29-Orders have
been issued by the War Department
providing a method for reopening of
cases where either through error in
law, or through the non-culpable ig-
norance of the registrant, man has
been held to service who should have
been discharged or exempted" There
are two classes: Where a man has
never reported for duty, but has been
certified by the local board to the Ad-
jutant-general and is thus indicted
into the military service. In cases
where is may appear to the local board
that the discharge should have been
granted. it will be sent to the Adult
ant General who will forward it to
the commanding officer of the mobil-
ization camp with request for the
discharge of the man from the draft
The Department says. rGreat care
must be taken to see that this authori-
ty is not abused as a method of OBJ
tanning in cases where the only ques-
ton is one of the determination OF
fact by the boards, or in any other
class Of cases than those specified"
