Work in Various Districts Appre- ciated by Army Provost Marshal

Although the war in Europe IS now but a memory and the work Of the local selective service boards has long ago ceased, the following communl- cation was received this morning by all of the members of the local boards from Provost Marshal General Crow der thanking them for the work they performed
 War Department,
 "Office of Provost Marshal General,
 Washington.
 ITO the Members of All Selective
 Service Boards:
 'The President has directed that all Boards of the Selective Service System be discontinued; that all members thereof be honorably relieved from the duties of their respective offices effective March 31, 1919: and that Certificate of Service be issued to m em bers relieved from duty by the order mentioned. copy of this order is enclosed. A suitable Certificate of Service, countersigned by the Govern or of your State, will be transmitted to you at a later date.
 The Selective Service organization is dissolved. This is my last official communication to it's members. Two years ago today, the Congress de- clared a State of War to exist with the Imperial German Governm ent. Americas Army was but a handful The plan to raise it to the proper strength was inchoate and uncertain Today the war is won and an Army of four million is already half demo- bilized.
 You have performed a stupendous task, you have performed it Loyalty, unselfshly and well. But you have done more. You have the ground work for a new ideal in dem ocracy. You have taught and shown the value and the possibilities of sympathetic and und cooperation. You have discovered and Vindicated a new altruism; you have crystallized an ideal and made of it a system.
 Tn these closing words I add my heartfelt praise to the gra teful thanks of America.
