TALES OF DRUG HABIT
IN ARMY DISPROVED
Official Inquiry Shows One in $500
Rejected for Addiction.

Only about one man out OF every
900 has been rejected from the draft
because of the drug habit, according
to announcement made yesterday by
the War Department
The announcement Is the result OF
an investigation OF charges made
about ten days ago that in New York
alone the number of drug addicts
between the former draft ages Of q
and 81 was 100000. 1t had also been
stated publicly that least 100, go
persons in the United States are ad-
dicted to the drug habit and that
l. 10000 such persons are known in
their respective communities.
The investigation was made by the
office Of the Surgeon General. The
following official statement covers the
army:
THE records Of the Surgeon Gen
erals office show that OF a total OF
g90,592 men examined in the draft up
to December 81, 1917, a total Of E3
we're rejected for drug addiction. To
these may be added seventy-six men
discharged for drug addiction after
induction and enlistment in the ser
vice. The latter number includes
national guard, national army and
regulars. From the figures given it
may be said that there is no evidence
in the possession Of the War Depart
ment to show that there is an ex-
cessive use of drugs by enlisted men
and officers OF the army"
