As far as the Guard is concerned,
Col. Oehmann explained today that
the inquiry Is necessary to maintain
some semblance of regularity in op-
Grafton of the band.
"Summoning a man to explain ab-
sence from drill or other ordered
function is not an unusual occur
renee" he said today. 'If the charges
are sustained the men are liable to
q fine Of q few dollars. The duties Of
membership in the Guard take prece-
dence over other things, but circum-
stances are always considered in judg-
ing cases. The men will be given q
chance to explain. II we can verify
the fact that they were unable to
obtain leave 1t will be considered in
disposing Of the cases. These men are
voluntary enlistments. If they find
they cannot attend regular drills or
other functions they may apply for
discharge or be placed on an inactive
list"
