Captain Henkes suggested as an alter native that he be given service in some other field, although he expressed the belief that the best course would be the immediate acceptance of his resigna- tion.
 Captain Henkes, soon after he had sub- mitted his resignation. was ordered to France with the American expedition ary forces and from his quarters there, June 20, 1917, wrote to the adjutant gen. eral in Washington calling attention to the fact that he had resigned and de- claring that his battalion commander, the department quartermaster and the com manding officer of the southern depart ment had approved his action. In this letter he repeated the reasons given to the Secretary of War for desiring to quit the service.
 Again on October 10 while still on duty in France. Captain Henkes wrote another letter to the adjutant general in which he urged acceptance of his resignation, and he said he did not find occasion to add to or alter the views he had already expressed. The under. lying facts are unalterable.' he declared
