Terms of Enlistment.


A Soldiers Wife-Men who volun-
teered for service in the army are of
two classes, those who enlisted for
three years, under the regular army
laws, anG those who enlisted for the
duration of the war; the latter may
be retained in the service only for
a period of four months after the
declaration Of peace; drafted men
are held only for the same period.
Veterinary evacuation section No. s
was stationed at headquarters of the
Second army, at Toul. No orders
have been issued for its immediate
return, but as the Second army is
be on the way home within so days,
it is reasonable to look for the early
return Of the service units attached.
Many Questions Answered.
Mrs. L. M.-Inquiries concerning
individual soldiers should be ad-
dressed to the adjutant general of
the army, Washington, D. c. The
Hoist aero replacement squadron is
in the service of supply of the army
and is not on the list for immediate
return to the home station. It's pres
ent address is A. P. o. 731-A, which
Is located at Colombey- les Bellies
(Meurthe-e ct Moselle).
A Reader-The saith infantry is
part Of the Seventh division, and is
in the army of occupation; 1t has not
been assigned date for return to
America. Its present address is A.
p. o. 1913.
E. M. 1.-The 134th infantry was
part Of the saith division; this di-
vision was one Of the first order@
home, and many of its units sailed
for America in January and Feb
ruary; the 134th infantry was left
behind, and is still at A. P. o. 912.
Can not tell when it will leave
France. but it is now likely to be
sent across at any time. Watch The
Bee for announcement.
l.. M. P.-The 320th machine gun
battalion was part of the 82d di-
vision, which was on the sailing list
for April, and most Of which al
ready has landed on this side. We
have no word that the machine gun
unit was held in France, and news
of its safe arrival may be looked for
at any time. Watch The Bee for an
nouncement.
Worried Mother-Soldiers who en-
listed for the duration of the war
may be retained in the service for a
period of four months after the
declaration of peace. This will ap-
ply to your son now in the Philip
pines; enlistments are now being
taken to replace these men in the
regular establishment. We have no
word as to the time when the 1O9th
engineers will be returned to
America.
A Subscriber-The ambulance men
serving at Camp Hospital No. 81
have not yet been assigned to early
convoy home.
Mrs. w. B. 1.-The S0th field ar
tillery, being part Of the Seventh
division, is in the army of occupa-
ton and not yet under orders for
return to America.
A Soldiers Mother-No orders
have been issued for the return of
the motor truck unit you mention.
AS it is attached to the Third army,
which is in the army of occupation,
it will probably be held in Germany
| indefinitely. Return of this army
| depends on the signing of the peace
| treaty.
c. j. N.-The 39th regiment, r. T.
c., now at Verneuil, CA. P. O. 772),
has not yet received orders for re-
turn home.

fixed for the sailing Of the First
army artillery park forces. as such,
although this unit has been broken
| up and many Of the batteries sta
toned there have been sent home.
Park battery c has not yet sailed.
Mr.. and Mrs. s. B. C.-We can
give you no information as to when
an individual soldier will leave
| France for home; the transporta-
| ton corps unit you mention is at
La Rochelle; these service units are
likely to be the last out of France,
as they are being held to clean up
after the combat units get away.
S. F. H.--The 326th infantry is
part of the SOD division, which was
on the sailing schedule for April. Its
arrival in this country ought to be
announced shortly. Watch The Bee
! for word.
Mrs. P. j. C., Callaway-The seth
infantry is part Of the Fourth d.
vision, now in the army of occupa-
ton; its headquarters are at Remich,
