Plan of DemObilization

Our troops in France are being re-
turned to the United States as rapid
ly as conditions will permit. The de-
termination as to when any particular
organization can advantageousfy be
returned is left to the discretion Of
the commanding general of the Am
erican Expeditionary Forces. AS soon
as organizations are designated for
return to the United States the pub
lie is Immediately informed.
All officers and men, except those
whose homes are in Europe, must be
returned to this country before dis
charge. Discharge of officers and men,
whose homes are abroad, will be en-
titled to travel pay only between
points of discharge and home in Eu-
rope. Regulations have been promul-
gated which permit soldiers to be
discharged upon their own applica-
ton. These regulations briefly are as
follows:
enlisted men may be discharged
upon their own application when
there is sickness or other distress in
the soldiers family, or when he is
needed to resume employment in an
industry or occupation in which there
is urgent need of his services, pro-
vided that such discharge will not dis
rupt or cripple an existing organiza-
ton, and that the soldiers services
can be spared. Applications for dis
charge will be made by the soldier
through his immediate commanding
officer"
These regulations apply to all sol
diers who enlisted or who were in
Quoted since April 1, 1917. Men who
enlisted in the army prior to that
date must serve out their enlist
ments.
Persons desirous of assisting sol
diers to obtain discharges should
communicate direct with them and
bring to their notice these regula-
tions in order that action may be ex-
pedited as much as practicable. 1t is
unnecessary to direct letters request
ing the discharge of individual men
to the war department as such letters
do not facilitate in any way the ac-
tion in regard to the discharge of the
soldiers concerned.
Under certain conditions officers
may resign their commissions or be
honorably discharged from the serv-
ice. The regulations in regard to
this matter are briefly as follows:
designations submitted by officers
may be considered when the officers
commanding officer or the chief of the
staff corps concerned states that the
services of the officer can be spared.
Of those officers who hold no regu-
lar army commissions those desiring
immediate and complete release from
the service will be discharged first,
followed by those desiring prompt re-
lease from the service and commits
sions in the reserve corps. Those de-
string appointment in the regular
army will be the last discharged, and
such discharge, will in no way pre-
iudice the consideration of their ap-
plication for commissions in the reg
ular army. Officers commissioned in
the regular army may submit resig-
nations in accordance with existing
regulations. All designations should
be submitted through regular mill

Congressman Clark has receive,
the following letter from the war de-
partment:
My dear Mr.. Clark: Since the sign
ing of the armistice the war depart
ment has been flooded with letters
from friends and relatives of soldiers
seeking their discharge. This class
o. correspondence has reached such
proportions as to seriously interfere
with important work that must be
carried on in the department. Be-
cause of the stress of such work in
cident to the rehabilitation, and the
gradual release, in the interest of
economy, of stenographic help, it is
becoming impossible to answer this
mass of letters.
Steps have been taken to bring to
the notice of the public through the
medium of the press, the policy of the
war department with reference to
discharging officers and enlisted men.
Il is believed that this information,
when it reaches the public, will re-
lieve materially the amount of cor
respondence of this character.
In the belief that you too have un-
doubtedly received numerous letters
information on this sub
ject, / am enclosing herewith, by de
rection of the secretary of war, a
copy of notice recently furnished to
the press, bearing on this matter.
