MILITARY NOTICE
OFFICE OF THE ADJUTANT GEN
ERAL, STATE OF ARKANSAS

Little Rock, Aug, 81, 1918
To all local boards, for their informa-
ton, guidance and compliance:
From the War Department, office
of the Provost Marshal General,
Washington, on August 90, 1918, to
Draft Executives of all states.
The following is a copy of letter
addressed to the surgeon general OF
the army. The reply of that official
is contained in the first Endorsement:
1. The organization of the provost
marshal generals office for the physi
cal examination of draft registrants
has been realty disturbed recently,
nv the withdrawal of medical men,
bers of draft boards for other duties.
2. The most serious drain of this
nature has ',nsued by reason of the
comm issirrisg, in the medical re-
serve cclps II the army, many mcdi'
cal board members. During July,
1918, 1O6 physicians have keen lost
from boards in this way
8. In view of the enormous labor
involved in the anticipated -egistra'
ton and examination of fourteen mil
lions of men in the next few months
under anticipated legislation, this
office feels very strongly that its
needs are paramount.
4. 1t is, therefore, requested that
the commissioning of medical mem
bers of the draft boards be discon
tinued for the present, except in
stances where this office consents.
5. 1t is suggested that before com
missioning medical men, inquiry be
made by the surgeon general as to
whether or not the candidate is as
ISOLATED with the draft. If the reply
is affirmative, the case should be
| referred to this office for remark
J s.. The provost marshal generals
] office does not wish to hinder the
use OF available medical material fol
general army service. but must pre-
serve its own organization.
