SOLDIERS NOT
BEING RELEASED
FROM CAMPSYET
Appeals to Boards Are Futile,
Officers Say; Jobs Will
Hasten Getting Men
Returned.

The first thought after the news
of the signing of the armistice was.
when will the soldiers be home?"
and Omaha has been stirred by
hundreds of unfounded rumors
about the rehabilitation of the
army. Local draft boards have been
swamped by women who implore
board members to let some soldier
come home this week"
One current rumor is that soldiers
are already being released from the
camps, another is that several divi-
sions of soldiers who have been
fighting in France now are on their
way back to the states. Another
rumor, just as absurd and as I'M
founded as the others, is that the
men will not be released from army
life FOR years and years yet"
Here is the truth of the matter:
IL No Releases as Yet.
Official word from Washington
authorizing the release of soldiers
has not yefbeen received i'll Omaha
But, local draft boards have been
instructed that September regis
trants from 81 to 46 years Of age
who have not already filled out their
missionaries need not fill them
out, but they must. return them at
once to their local draft board.
Local boards also have been in
structed that all l8-year-od regis
trants must fill out and file ques-
tionnaires and if they are classified
in class |, they must report for ply
steal examination.
Boards to Get Jobs.
Word from officials at Washing
ton suggests that local boards will
be used in obtaining jobs for re-
leased soldiers and also hints that
soldiers may be released if their
dependents are in financial distress.
The working of such ruling has
not yet been announced to local
board officials.
Col. F. A. Grant. quartermaster
here. states that although authentic
information on the rehabilitation is
lacking, he believes that the men
will be sent home from the camps
just as promptly as the program "a
Job for every soldier" can be worked
out.
Jobs to Get Releases.
at will be on this order" explain
ed the colonel, every camp has tull
data concerning each soldier. For
instance, here is soldier who, be-
fore the war. was a mechanic work
ing for the John Doe company in
. Omaha. The war is over, the gov
eminent doesn't need him any more
but the John Doe company does
Uncle Sam will say to the John Doe
company, what about this soldier?
Still need him?' and the company
Z will answer that the soldiers old
lob is waiting for him and he will
be released from service.
"In general that is the manner in
which the rehabilitation of our
army will be effected"
