mum sentences which would be APP

peace. The new order does not apply
to troops in France, Siberia or Italy
and does not mean commutation Of
sentences already imposed at home.
General March said that men dis
charged from the army will be per
mtted to retain the divisional insignia
which they wore while in service. A
recent order of the department pre-
scribes that the wearing of these in
sigma would be permitted up to the
date of discharge
Explains Decentralization
Republican Leader Mann read to the
House to-day letter from General
March explaining why the War De-
partment adopted the plan of dcmob
iN2ing by dsbanding units instead of
by discharging soldiers in accordance
with the need of men in Industries. The
chief of staff said the latter plan had
been discarded as impractcable after
consideration, because it would have
involved the task of apraising the
case of each individual soldier.
ION the other hand" he said, "dis
bandment of the complete military
untes could be and was Immediately
begun. In this way the military sit
uation was safeguarded and at the
same time rehabilitation was accel-
Grated"
General March urged that legsla-
ton be passed permitting the resump-
ton OF voluntary enistmcnts and re
enlistments in the army, saying that
rehabilitation of overseas forces was
being retarded to an extent by the
fact that there are practically no troops
to replacet hem He said there arc
many men in every camp who would
enlist In the regular army if it were
not for the fact that all definite period
enlltsmcnts were suspended by the act
of May 1S> 1913.
Believes Situation Improved
Commenting on the American demob-
ilization figures, the generals letter
sad
"Such results would have been simp-
~ impossible had it been attempted to
discharge Immediately every soldier
who made application on individual
grounds. There are hundreds OF thou
sands of men now returned to their
families. home communities and en-
ployment Who might not have been re-
leased for months if the War Depart
ment had attempted to inaugurate a
scheme of rehabilitation based large
~ upon individual reuests for indi-
vidual discharge.
"The absorption of these men into
the general life of the country-their
return to productive employment--has
assisted in the permanent revitaliza-
tlon of industrial lie and has expe-
dlted the return of the country to it's
normal peace time condition."
While he conceded there might be
q few minor cases of injustice done in
The rehabilitation. General March de-
ciared the best interests of the coun-
try had been safeguarded and equal
treatment to the individuals of the
army secured.
