CONSCIENTIOUS DIRECTORS
DECIDE TO co
INTO FIGHTING BRANCHES

Conscientious objection to military
service may be brushed aside by
friendly argument and reason the
War Department learns through re-
ports from Maj Richard C. Stoddard,
Judge Julian W. Mack, Chicago, and
Dean Harlan F. Stone, Columbia Uni
vcrsity Law School, board designed
by Secretary of War Baker to confer
personally with such DIRECTORS at the
training camp.
At Camp Gordon, Atlanta, there
was an unusually large number of
men segregated as DIRECTORS. Kindly
logic used by the special board re-
suited in 72 of the number accepting
noncombatant service, and IL with
drew objection or announced they
had misunderstood the original ques-
tions.
The board accepted as sincere the
convictions of % members Of reli-
gious denominations opposed to any
form of military service and recon-
mended them for furlough at a pri-
Yates pay. There was doubt in four
cases and the board recommended the
men be sent to Fort Levenworth for
further examination.
Fifty-four men failed to convince
the board Of their ability to take up
military service without violation of
their consciences and must accept
service specified for them by the
commanding officer or stand court
martial. Eight claimed to be citizens
of enemy countries but had no way of
substantiating their claims and it was
held should not be so classed.
