Ask Army' Navy Depts.
AndIs Told Of Policy.
TRIP HOME TO BE
GIVN WHEN POSSIBLE

Wild is the policy of the U. S.
Armyland Navy in respect to re-
turning men to the United States
who lave served several months in
OVERSEAS duty? Many who have
relatives overseas have wondered
abouI that and have been hoping
that men who have seen months of
hard service would be returned for
rest period. Therefore the follow
ing two letters, written to Con-
gresham Mike Mansfield, will be
of interest to many
Secretary of War Stimson writes
to Mr. Mansfield as follows.
Dear Mr.. Mansfield
This ACKNOWLEDGES receipt of your
letter Of January IA, 1914 concern
ing the return of military personnel
from overseas.
The War Department does not
question the desirability Of rotating
troops who have been in foreign
service for a considerable length
OF time, and the matter has been
under continuous study since the
inception of the war Until recent
ly, lack of shipping space has been
the main obstacle in the return of
personnel from oversee duty This
shortage of shipping has now been
partially alleviated and the pres
ent status of the rotation of per-
sonnet on duty outside the United
States is as follows:
Personnel on duty in Alaska and
the Caribbean Defense Command
should normally be returned to the
United States after two years serv-
ice overseas;
There is now in operation in the
North African Theatre of Opera
tions system which will return
monthly a certain number of men
with more than 10 months service
overseas;
"A policy for the South Pacific
and Southwest Pacific Theaters is
now being prepared and it is hoped
that shipping facilities will suf-
ficiently improve by April 1914 to
enable the return Of certain num-
Der of men from these theaters.
In addition to these categories a
limited number Of men are being
returned as cadres for new units,
as instructors and as aircreW train
ees. We are also returning certain
men who have gained military in
formation that may serve to use
full advantage to the military au
thorities in the United States and
those who require medical atten-
ton which cannot be procured in
the overseas theaters as well as
those whose physical and mental
condition indicate the necessity for
relief from oversee duty.
Rotation of personnel is also be-
ing made in all oversee theaters
from combat duty to rest areas and
to areas OF more favorable climate
Upon arrival at these rest areas ev-
cry effort is made to provide the
maximum facilities for relaxation
and recreation
1t must be appreciated that the
actual number of men returned to
the United States must depend upon
the amount of shipping which can
be made available. The maintenance
of full combat effectiveness of our
troops overseas must always re-
ceive prior consideration.
You may be assured that the
War Department is keenly aware of
the problem mentioned in your let
ter and is making every effort to
find the best practical solution pos
sible.
Sincerely yours,
HENRY L. STIMSON,
