stead of furloughing them and then
discharging they will be discharged,
so that there may be no subsequent
claims against the government. All
of those men will have to be examin-
ed by the doctors and the medical de-
partment is prepared to take over the
question of rapid examination and
discharge. No date has been set fol-
