LETTERS TO TIE COURIER

COLUMBUS y. ". Mar soI
Editor Courier:
There Is much disconienl In the
volunteer Army of the United
states.
What causes ~ This does:
Al the time the country went IN
lo the war the President called for
lO.NO volunteers. \ great many
dropped their work. left their
homes. Ia answer the call. and en-
listed to serve their country during
ube period Of the emcrgcnry
The war is over bat the volun-
trrrs are still IN the army waiting
for their discharges. They want to
get out.
Hut can they yet out? Yes. that
j. n they have a wife. children. or
anyone depending upon them for
support. and then there Is a lot nf
red tape about A. Even the He'd
Gross must investigate your case.
Why Is this necessary Haven't
The volunteers served the country
In time of need and for war period?
Nes. hut still the government T.
holding them.
T. II the democratic adminisira-
iion. The general stan officers. com
manding officers of army posts. ar
who Is Il that Is holding the vol
unleers3
Very nearly all the men whn
answered the call have mn one de-
pending upon them for support aud
therefore, cannot give sufficient
reasons la obtain their discharge
These men left good positions to
serve their country, and In many
cases these Jobs are still open for
Them upon their return.
Why shouldn't they want out, for
what Is there In the army for
thcm3 No future n they stay a
lifetime. Every day that they are
being held means Just that much
time lnst and nothing gained
Haven't the volunteers given mp
everything Ia serve the cause?
Haven't they gui Ia start their own
individual hrht In life over again
and try and regain what was lost
by serving the nation IN time of
needP
The men who were drafted are
the best on for many reasons. The
ones who were willing and answer
rd the call la arms without waiting
La be- called are the men that are
heing held, and they are very much
discontinued and dissatisfied.
II is not right IN hold them. They
should have been the first out II
is no wonder there Is so manS
dcscrtions. IN Some instances th'
men are getting desperate, tn,
government has not kept iis prom.
ise IN discharge them at the end o
the war.
This thing is liable io lead man,
Of them Ia take the stand of IN,
Bolshevik dcshotism over il ilieI
