SAYS MEN ON DUTY IN
u. S. ARE DISCHARGED
COL McAndretOs Explains De-
mobilization Rules.
Special Despatch 10 TUE srx


WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.-Col. ]. r. Nc.
Andrews Of the General STAFF said to.
night that his remarks on denubiliza.
ton made before the New York State
Reconstruction Commission relating to
the discharge Of men in home service
had been misconstrued.
He did not mean, he said. that no
men now on duty In the United states
would be discharged until the men
abroad had been demobilized. There
VIII be a rehabilitation OF the men In
this country. although II will be gradual
since most domestic troops not needed
already have been discharged or ordered
discharged
What I really said" Col. McAndrews
explained tonight. was that all men
returning from overseas eligible for dis
charge will be discharged promptly. and
in addition a gradual reduction will conf
tinue TO be made In all units and u;i.tt.es
In the United States by discharga of
men as rapidly as their service can be
spared.
Practically all organizations in the
United states except those OF the Regu-
lar Army and those necessary to carry
on the work OF rehabilitation, have
already been ordered demobilized. and
the work connected with their demobn..
sation will continue. After this IS ac-
complished the number OF men to be
discharged will he regulated by the num-
Der OF men returning from overseas plus
gradual reduction of domestic units
as they can be spared"
