| nave been indicted into the military
service through delinquent orders,
no" living in Canada and reported
ny the Canadian immigration Of
Meals to be citizens of Canada is it
permissible to reopen and reclassify
in Glass v?
The principal objection which oc-
ours to this Office is that as soon as
| those men find out that they have
been reclassified in Glass V and that
the charge of dcsertion has been
wiped out they will slip across the
line and defy the Canadian officers.
The charge of desertion having been
wiped out, we should have no hold on
them"
Answer" A case cannot
be reopcned by local or district
board after induction into the mill
tary service. A registrant who has
been indicted into military service
by delinquent orders is as effectually
in the military service as if ne had
enlisted and that he may not be
discharged from such military sery-
ice except on authority Of the adju-
tant general Of the army or of his
camp commander.
Under these circumstances and for
the further reason that it is the be-
lief Of the adjutant general of Maine
that Canadian dcserters may subse-
quently return to the United States
in order to evade military service in
Canada, no action toward discharg-
ing them from military service should
be taken"
