Gen. Presson's Inquiry

The attention of this Office has been
called to alleged cases Of discrimina-
ton against men who have been placed
IN Class l under the draft and also
against men who have periodically en-
listed in the Sd Regiment Of Infantry.
Maine National Guard, now in process
Of formation. Specific instances have
been reported by affidavits where man
nave been discharged as soon as they
have enlisted in the Sd Maine Infantry.
The men themselves believe and their
friends allege that they were discharg-
ed because Of their enlistment in this
organization.
II would seem almost beyond belief
that we have any employers Of labor in
Maine who are SO devoid of a sense Of
duty not only to the country but to
men who are willing to jeopardize their
lives in order that their same employ
crs may conduct their business in safe
~ as to discriminate against such men.
Men who haze calmly performed
their duties toward themselves AMI
their families and have merely waited
for their turn to take their places in
the army as such places have been de-
termined under the draft regulations
are just as patriotic and just as muca
entitled to the consideration of every
good citizen as are the men who have
volunteered
We are loath to believe that such
men are being Disseminated against in
any way but if such facts are cstab-
lished may we inquire through yonr
office whether the military law provides
adequate penalty.

practice was interfering seriously in

Draft Rulings

The following rulings and orders
relative to the Selective Service or
Draft regulations have been received
by Adjutant General George Mel.
Presson. the provost marshal of Maine,
from Provost Marshal General E. Fl.
Crowder of Washington:
Registrars are not permitted to en-
list in the Polish army being recruited
in this country, unless classified in
Glass V on the ground of alienage.
Until so classified, local boards are not
authorized to release registrants or to
give permits for passports to go abroad
to enlist.
Calls now in effect in Maine are:
Medical corps; infantry; coast artil-
lery: aviation section, auto repair men.
chauffeurs.

animation to the Sagadahoc local and

mitted.
The appointment of Drs. Lincoln and
clans to the Sagadahoc Medical adj
visory board has been approved.
The quarantine at Kelley field, San
Antonio, Texas has been lifted and in
dividual inductions as we'll as induc-
tions under special calls may now be
made.
Prison Records and the Draft
The following question was sub
mitted to Gen. Crowder by Gen. i'res-
son:
I'VE have two cases in Maine where
"a Moi
have been paroled on their good be-
havior. Are they liable to military
service, if no one raises the question Of
their moral fitness?'
-\nswer-"If a board is convinced
that d registrant has been convicted or
treason, felony or an infamous crime.
there is no alternative but to classify
him in Class Y, regardless of whether
or not the question Of his moral fitness
is raised. If a registrant has been
convicted Of q crime not of the nature
above mentioned, no deferred clasSl-
fication is provided on account of his
conviction. If a rcgistrant has been
confined in prison because of a con-
viction Of 4 crime not Of the first men
toned nature and has been later
paroled on good behavior, he may sc
indicted when his order number is
reached in the usual way. Provided his
parole has not in the meantime been
annulled on account of failure TO
carry out its conditions
Suspected MaIingering
Important orders have been issued
regarding malingering, including the
following:
Gases of malingering are to be de-
tccted by positive conclusions resulting
from careful examination of claimed
defects and ailments. Conclusions
, based on suspicion engendered by the
circumstances or environment of the
rcgistrant may result in grave injus-
tice. The statements of registrants
concerning their physical condition
should be patiently considered in the
same manner applied to other state
ments affecting his liability 70 military
service and where fraud or deception
is suspected, the statements should be
subjected to careful cross examination
and considered in the light of all evil
dence obtainable. If Investigation OF
doubtful statements is desired the
board may call upon the local authori-
ties of the Selective Service System

IL YOU feel a growing dissatisfaction
with life and i'll health seems TO threat
en- you without the symptoms OF any
specific disease showing, your nerves
are probably undernourished because
your blood is thin.
Take moment to examine into your
own case. Have you lost the ability
TO make a quick decision and take
prompt action whenever necessary or
do YOU worry and hesitate In indecislon
and consume an undue amount OF time
over things that you used to do quick

Don't let the arteries in your brain
get hard. Don't let thin blood starve
your nervous system. Proper diet for
the first and a good tonic, DR.. Will

what you need.
The Blood Often at Fault
Thin blood is the cause Of many
troubles that are often attributed to
other sources. The blood circulates
throughout the entire system and
when it is at fault the resulting dis
comfort may make itself felt IN any or
gan of the body. The nerves become
undernourished and neuralgia is ire
uuent accompaniment Of anemla.
Good digestion without rich, red blood
is almost impossible and sufferers from
ancmia are frequently dyspeptics. IN
the case of Mrs. Carrie Chute OF No.

dizzy spells were an annoying result or
