out Monday at the Capitol. An order
issued by Headquarters, 9TH Corps
area ordering the immediate transfer
of the boys was met with protest from
the boys parents involved.
Those affected by the order were
instructed to exercise their choice in
the matter, two refusing to leave Min

The penalty for disobedience to such
orders is customarily followed by dis
honorable discharge 1t is believed,
however, that in the light of circum-
stances surrounding this particular
case, that there is some possibility of
escaping the severe penalty.
1t has been customary to send men
from one section of the country to
another, and this may be one of the
causes of the disorder. One attitude
taken by the war department, is tnat
these men should be Injured to long
absences from home, to eliminate the
desertions that charac-

Another reason presumed for separa-
