not be applied under existing circumstances

NO REIMBURSEMENT BONUS
Men of Emergency Forces Have Not
Served Full Period.

Many inquiries have been made
whether men who entered the army for
the period of the emergency enlistment
or draft, and who now enlist in the
regular army. are entitled to the ben
ehts OF the act of May II, 1908, which
provides for continuous service pay and
a bonus for re-enlistment
late approved opinion of the Judge
advocate general of the army, received
from the war department, answers the
question in the negative. 1t is obvious,
says the opinion, that the provisions of
the act mentioned. as whole, cannot
reasonably be applied to the present
situation.
In the first place. to quote the
words of the judge advocate general,
all enlistments in the temporary
forces are for the period of the emer-
gency. That period has not yet expired.
and it is impossible to state with any
defniteness when it will expire. Con-
sequently no soldier of the temporary
forces who is discharged at the pres
ent time can be said to have served his
entire enlistment period. II his dis
charge is to be considered as a dis
charge for the convenience of the gov
eminent. the question will necessarily
arise whether he has served more than
one-half Of his period Of enlistment.
This is obviously impossible to deter
mine.
III each soldier who is now dis
charged were to be regarded as having
served his entire enlistment period, 1t
would result that some men who have
been In the service only a day or
week would be entitled to re-enlist-
ment pay upon enlistment in the regu-
lar army"
