No Duplicate Discharges
when discharged soldiers ono

When discharged soldiers once
get their fingers ON an Official dis
Clamrge from the service or the
United States army 1t should be
guarded carefully.
A number OF discharged men
have been writing to Washingt0n
asking Tor duplicate discharges.
Evidently that coveted Httle paper
is being lost by large Number OF
Uncle 6Mma's men who have been
mustered out Of the service.
Ts;le RnaziOu1ar reason why it is
we'll 10 gnaEd that property is that
the Government does not, under
any circumstances, issue u second
discharge even I'm dmplicate, Am0
many have been the disappointed
m0n who have written infO head
quarters hoping to get a copy.
What the discharged soldier
may do, however, to obtain SOME
papers showing his service with
the army is TO write to the officer
who was his Immediate command
ing officer Just previous to mis- dis
Charge. From this commanding
officer me may obtain statement
OF his services.

fession.
The manner in which the clubs sup
ported the fund for baseball material
and the way the players went to the
front not only curbed criticism but
won many converts to the game. AS
the war removed many Objectionable
features from our national life,
strangled the disloyal and merged us
as q real nation, admired by our al
lies and dreaded by the enemy, 80 did
the war help baseball by giving 1t q
breathing spell. During this period
the game Bhonk OF certain features
that were retarding it, The looseness
that came out of the wild scramble
for players a few years ago was wiped
away and we are at the dawn OF an
other year that promises to be Onr
best.
After many months OF bitter worry
over the horrors Of war the general
public stands expertxnt for healthy
amusement: the loyalty Of the aver
age player has been Quickened and ne
more thoroughly understand: the
real meaning Of real discipiin,N, the
soldier back from the battle line or
from the training camp appreciates
more than ever before the advantages
of the outdoor life and the same holds
good of the sailors who swept foreign
waters searching ont the cOwardly
assassins of the sea.
So to sum up, It looks, without
doubt, to me that we are going to
have q better governed game, a bet
ter anality of sport and most liberal
patronage from the public eager for
relief from mental strain.
