Discharged Officers of
Army Must Doff Uniforms
Not Allowed TO Wear Them
After They Reach Home,
Is Latest Ruling

The Police Department was informed
yesterday of a ruling Of the judge ad-
vocate Of the Eastern Department that
officers discharged from the army
should discard their uniforms at once
and that enlisted men should do like
wise after reaching their homes. Not
more than three months at the most,
the ruling continued, should be con-
sumed in reaching home.
There is no authority" the ruling
continued. ''for the suggestion that the
right to wear the uniform might in
certain cases continue for three
months after discharge or dismissal"
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-The War
Departments attitude on the wearing
Of uniforms by discharged soldiers was
set forth as follows:
"The present law authorizes a dis
charged officer or soldier to wear his
uniform from the place of his dis
charge to his home within three
months of the date of his discharge
from the service Thereafter the of
ficer may wear his uniform only upon
occasions of ceremony. The enlisted
man must return his uniform within
four months of the date Of his dis
charge, but can wear it only as stated
above"
An act is pending before Congress
which would permit enlisted men to
keep their uniforms and to wear them
but only with distinctive insignia to be
issued by the War Department.

''Y'' Secretary Home
After Front Line
Service In Battle
F. ". Ryan, One of 35 Work
ers Who Became Casual
ties Acting as Stretcher
Bearers in Argonne Affair

Serving as an overseas Y. M. c. A
secretary during the great war
meant acting as occasional stretcher
bearer, department store assistant,
athletic director and laundryman, &C
cording to Frank ". Ryan, who also
found that it meant service under fire
and an opportunity TO inhale German
poison gas.
Mr. Ryan, who is lame and hardly
in the. physical condition one might
expect to find on the firing line, said
that none Of the secretaries he had
found objected to these "trihes" and
added that they were glad of the op-
portunity to show that the "Y7 act
ually was doing its part in the war.
He was one Of thirty-fve "Y" secre-
taries who required hospital treatment
after the bitter fighting IN the Argonne
Forest. In peace time he was an auto
mobile accessory dealer in New York
City.
1--WE were with the soldiers from
the Far West in the 91st Division" ;"
said Mr.. Ryan, "on September 26. when
they went over the top at Very, Vaten-
nes, Cheppy, Grand Pre-. and Montfau-
con- Ten of US were selected from the
ranks of " secretaries to serve as
stretcher bearers, and all of our trucks
were comnandeered for use as ambu-
lances. In way both of these things
aided the 7. NJ c. A. to overcome the
obstacles which we had to surmount
to serve the men during the heavy
fighting.
"As stretcher bearers we were able
TO get nearer to the front lines than
would otherwise have been possible,
and our trucks were able to return
with supplies after they had gone to
the rear with wounded soldiers. In
five weeks we succeeded in getting up
$50,000 worth of supplies to the 91st
alone for free distribution to the men
going into battle and TO those who
were being carried back.
when the division was relieved and
sent to Revigny for a rest only seven
of our number we're able to continue
in active service. Several Of the "
men were decorated for their bravery
under fire and all were highly COM
mended by the French and American
military leaders.
THE American people need have no
fear that th@ money which they sub
scrlbed fer war service is not being
we'll expended. | find this view most
pronounced among men like myself,
who have religious preferences quite
different from those on which the Y.
NJ. c. A. is fou1ded
There were several Of US in sY'
uniform in the 91st, too old and lame
and halt to be accepted for military
service, who left our business to go
overseas to stand by the younger men.
Until the ~ increased our overseas
expense allowance in November from
$50 TO $S5 month most of us didn't
have enough loose change to pay for
having our laundry done outside. I
did my own washing for three months
and had plenty of company at the
task"

Investigation Shows
Only Two Suicides

The Tribune correspondent has looked
into statements made in America
that many suicides resulted from the
terrible life the men were forced 70
endure at the Pontanezen camp. A
medical board thoroughly investigated
three cases Of supposed suicide dur
ing the last two months. Two eases
proved clearly to be suicide, while the
board was unable to determine whether
the third was suicide or accidental
death Two Of these men were hos
pital patients.
The correspondent also visited the
tents in which the troops are quar-
tered. Some six or seven men occupy
each tent. The CORE spondent per-
sonally inspected the quarters in a
driving rain this morning, asking Of
ficcrs and men how the pontanezen
camp impressed them, in view Of the
criticism being made at home.
