 To that end Commanding Officers of all Departments of the United States Army have been directed by P. C. Harris, Adjutant General of the War Department, to notify the State Councils of all assertions, giving the full name, rank and organization of the soldier; the soldiers home ad- dress; status of soldier, i. e., absent without leave or absent in desertion.
 It is believed that by cooperation with the State Councils, which have branches in all Counties in the State, the apprehension of deserters will be much facilitated.
