Inquiry was made whether commissioned officers of the National Guard Re- .serve are included in the expression " commissioner officers of the National Guard," designated by section 24 of the national-defense act as the fourth class in the order of appointment to vacancies in the grade of second lieutenant.

The question was answered in the affirmative. (War Dept. Bull. 15, Mar. 24, 1917.) MILITABY LAWS OP THE UNITED STATES^ 1915. 71 the first proviso in said paragraph, be, and the same is hereby amended to read as follows: " Vacancies in the grade of second lieutenant created or caused by the increases due to this Act, in any fiscal year shalLbe filled by ap- pointment in the following order: (First) Of cadets graduated from the United States Military Academy during the preceding fiscal year for whom vacancies did not become available during the fiscal year in which they graduated; (second) under the provisions of existing law of enlisted men,^ including officers of Philippine Scouts,^ between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-four years, whose fitness for pro- motion shall have been determined by competitive examination; and of members, including officers, of the Organized Militia, the National Guard, or Naval Militia, between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-four years who have had at least ninety days actual Fed- eral military service under any call of the President during the calendar year nineteen hundred and sixteeen, and whose fitness for promotion shall have been determined by examination;* (third) of members of the Officers' Reserve Corps between the ages of twenty- one and twenty-seven years, of distinguished colleges as are now or may hereafter be entitled to preference by general orders of the War Department; and (sixth) of candidates from civil life between the *Two enlisted men were discharged to enable them. to accept commissions.

Held, That such discharge from military service, un- less it was obtained by fraud, is final and cannot be amended or revoked ; that the appointment to the office of second lieutenant, having been completed, can- not be rescinded by the appointing authority ; and hence the appointees can be removed only by resorting to the procedure established by law for the removal of officers ; that the fact that such appointees were under the age of 21 in no way impeaches their right to hold tlie offi.ces to which they were appointed, the matter of their eligibility having been foreclosed by the action of the appointing power. (Dig. Opin, J. A. G., January, 1918.) *An officer in the Philippine Scouts, with the permission of the examining board, took and passed the examination for appointment as a provisional second lieutenant, at a time when he was ineligible to take such examination because he had completed only ten months of the one year of service required by law.

Held, that as section 12 of the same act clearly contemplates that lieutenants detailed as student officers in the establishments of the Ordnance Department shall be eligible, if they satisfactorily complete the course of instruction, for detail to fill vacancies in the Ordnance Department for the period of four years and for redtail for like periods during their commissioned service, and provides also that vacancies resulting from details to vacancies in the Ord- nance Department shall be filled by promotion or appointment, while, as to details for detached service of captains and lieutenants of the Porto Rico Regiment it is expressly provided that they shall not be filled by promotion or appointment, it must be held that such officers of said regiment are not eligible for detail to vacancies in the Ordnance Department or for detail as student officers in the ordnance establishments for the reason that such de- tails contemplate eligibility for subsequent details in the ordnance estab- lishment. Held further, that the provisions of section 21 would be given reasonable effect by limiting their operation to details for detached service other than the filling of vacancies in respect to w^hich the law provides that details thereto shall create vacancies to be filled by promotion or appointment.

Such clerks who have had the requisite service prescribed in the act of August 29, 1916, creating those positions are by the statute given *' the same allowances, except retirement, as heretofore allowed by law to pay clerks, Quartermaster Corps." Held, that it having been definitely determined that no provision was made by law for furnishing pay clerks with fuel and light-at public exf ense i.i public quarters (Buls. of 1915; No. 5, p. 5, and No. 21, p. 7), it follows that the field MILITARY LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, 1915. 85 Rs heretofore allowed by law to pay clerks, Quartermaster Corps, and shall be subject to the rules and articles of war. Act of Aug. 29, 1916 {39 Stat., 625). clerks are not entitled to sucli allowances. As in the case of pay clerks, Con- gress had made specific provision for commutation of heat and lif?ht, but no provision has been made for f\irnishing these allowances in kind. (AVar Depr. Bull. 15, Mar. 24, 1917.) Held, that under the provisions of the statute providing for 200 Army field clerks a selection was necessary, and the statute was not, therefore, self-execut- ing; consequently such clerks were entitled to the allowances therein provided for only from the date of their acceptance of appointment as field clerks and r.ot from the date of the act, August 29, 1916. (Comp. of the Treas., Jan. 26, 1917; Id.) The question was submitted to the Commissioner of Pensions whether the ac- ceptance of the position of field clerk (act of Aug. 29, 1916, 39 Stat., 625) by a civil-service clerk receiving a pension would operate t^ cut oft" his pension in view of the War Department's ruling that field clerks are part of the Military Establishment and not subject to the civil-service rules and regulations. Held, that since the appointment of such clerks is vested in the Secretary of War, they must be deemer as officers, and whether they be designated in mili- tary parlance as commissioned officers or noncommissioned officers is immaterial so far as the pension laws are concerned, the established rule being that one who serves under a commission or apixtintment from the Secretary of War is a person in the military service for pensionable purposes (Stout case, 19 P. D., 149) ; and that, therefore, under section 4724, Revised Statutes, and the act of iMarch 3, 1891 (26 Stat., 1082), no pension can lawfully be paid to a person hold- ing the position of field clerk covering the period of such service. Advised, how- ever, that this ruling is subject to approval or modification of the Secretary of ihe Interior upon the appeal of any pensioner from the action of the Pension Bureau in dropping his name from tlie pension rollo because of his appointment and service as a field clerk under the act of August 29, 1916. (Commissioner of Pensions, Apr. 11, 1917, War Dept. Bull. 26, Alay 7, 1917.) Upon inquiry (a) Avhether Army field clerks and field clerks. Quartermaster Corps, are exempt from militia duty, and {h) whether their enlistment in the National Guard is prohibited — Held, as to (a), that since Army field clerks and field clerks. Quartermaster Corps, now occupy a status in the military service of the United States, they come within the provisions of section 59 of the national defense act which exempts ".persons in the military and naval service of the United States," from militia duty, and therefore are exempted from such duty. Held, as to {h), that the National Guard is plainly designed by the national defense act to be an effective force and to supplement the permanent military forces of the Nation, and that it is plainly the intent of the law governing its organization that its members shall be available for any service which it may be called upon to perform, and not be prevented from performing such duty by any paramount obligation in the permanent military force. This intent is clearly indicated by the exemption of persons in the military and naval service of the United States from militia duty, above cited. That special authority of law is necessary to justify the occupancy of status in both the Regidar Army and the National Guard by the same person is indicated by the authority expressly conferred by section 100 of the national defense act for officers of the Regular Army to accept commissions in the National Guard with the permis- sion of the President and terminable at his discretion. There is no such authority for any persons in the active military service of the United States, other than officers, to occupy such dual status. Therefore, the effect of the law governing the organization and maintenance of the National Guard is to render a status in the active permanent Military Establishment incompatible with a status in the National Guard. The enlistment of Army field clerks and field clerks. Quartermaster Corps, is therefore, in effect, prohibited by law. (War Dept. Bull. 34, June 8, 1917.) An Army field clerk inquired whether he Avas entitled to credit for prior service as clerk in the Quartermaster Corps and in the Signal Corps for the purpose of making up 12 years of service under the act of August 29, 1916, which changed headquarters' clerks to Army field clerks, and provides that 86 MILITARY LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, 1&15. 362d. Same — Employed and assigned hy Secretary of War; not to he assigned to duty in War Department. — Said clerks, messengers, and laborers shall be employed and assigned by the Secretary of War to the offices and positions in which they are to serve: Provided^ That no clerk, messenger, or laborer at headquarters of tactical divisions, military departments, brigades, service schools, and office of thf*. Chief of Staff shall be assigned to duty in any bureau in the War Department. Id.^ 636. " after 12 years' service," as therein prescribed, tbey shall receive the same allowances, except retirement, " as heretofore allowed by law to pay clerks, Quartermaster Corps." Held, that as the governing statute relates only to headquarters clerks changed to Army field clerks, and there is nothing in it to suggest a different purpose, it must be held that the phrase " after 12 years' service " refers only to service as headquarters clerk or as Army field clerk ; and that in the instant case the field clerk was not entitled to count his prior service as clerk in tlie Quartermaster Corps and Signal Corps. (War Dept. Bull. 54, Sept. 26, 1917.) Under the Army appropriation act of August 29, 1916, Army field clerks after 12 years' service, 3 years of which shall have been on detached duty away from permanent station or on duty beyond the continental limits of the United States, or both, are entitled to certain allowances. In computing the 12 years' service, service as an enlisted man can not be counted. Service as head- quarters clerk prior to the passage of the act and as an Army field clerk there- after should be counted. (War Dept. Bull. 72, Dec. 24, 1917.) Army field clerks are classified as enlisted men in the War Risk Insurance act of October 6, 1917, and are therefore required to make compulsory al- lotments. (Dig. Opin. J. A, G., January, 1918.)

(Dig. Opin. J. A. G., February, 1918.) H'pon inquiry (a) whether Army field clerks and field clerks, Quartermaster Corps, are exempt from militia duty, and {b) whether their enlistment in the National Guard is prohil)ited — Held, as to (a), that since Army field clerks and field clerks, Quartermaster Corps, now occupy a status in the military service of the United States, they cpme within the provisions of section 59 of the national defense act which exempts " persons in the military and naval service of the United States " from militia duty, and therefore are exempted from such duty. Held, as to {h), that the National Guard is plainly designed by the national defense act to be an effective force and to supplement the permanent military forces of the Nation, and that it is plainly the intent of the law governing its organization that its members shall be available for any service which it may hL' called upon to perform, and not be prevented from performing such duty by any paramount obligation in the permanent military force. This intent is clearly indicated by the exemption of persons in the military and naval service of the United States from militia duty, above cited. That special authority of law is necessary to justify the occupancy of status in both the Regular Army ^and the National Guard by the same person is indicated by the authority expressly conferred by section 100 of the national defense act for officers of MILITARY LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, 1915. 125 heretofore allowed by law to pay clerks, Quartermaster Corps, and shall be subject to the rules and articles of war. Id, 625. 651a. Alloitmnce of fuel^ quarters^ and forage. — Fuel, quarters, and forage may be furnished in kind to officers by the Quartermaster's Department according to law and regulations: {Provided^ however^ That when forage in kind can not be furnished by the proper depart- ments, then and in all such cases officers entitled to forage may com- mute the same according to existing regulations: Provided further^ That officers of the Army and of Volunteers assigned to duty which requires them to be mounted shall, during the time they are employed on such duty, receive the pay, emoluments, and allowances of Cavalry officers of the same grade, respectively.) Sec. 1270^ R. S. 638a. C oinmittation of quarters to officers^ etc., where no piibliG qvnrters are available. — Hereafter, at places Avhere there are no public quarters available, commutation for the authorized allowance there- for shall be paid to commissioned officers, acting dental surgeons, veterinarians, members of the Nurse Corps, and pay clerks at the rate of $12 per room per month; and, when specifically authorized by the Secretary of War, to enlisted men at the rate of $15 per month, or in lieu thereof he may, in his discretion, rent quarters for the use of said enlisted men when so on duty. Act of March ^ 1915 {38 Stat. 1069) . 668b. Same — Secretary of War may determine when and where public quarters are not available. — Hereafter the Secretary of War may determine where and when there are no public quarters available within the meaning of this or any other act. Id. 668c. Commutation of quarters^ heat^ and light for officers., etc. — For commutation of quarters and of heat and light to commissioned officers, members of the Nurse Corps, and enlisted men on duty at places where no public quarters are available.^ Act of Aug. 29, 1916 (89 Stat. 628) . 671a. Determination of travel and duty. — The Secretary of War may determine what shall constitute travel and duty without troops Avithin the meaning of the laws governing the payment of mileage the llegvilar Army to accept commissions in the National Guard with the permission of the President and terminable at his discretion. There is no such aiitliurity for any persons in the active military service of the United States, otlier than officers, to occupy such dual status. Therefore, the effect of the law governing the organization and maintenance of the National Guard is to render a status in the active permanent Military Establishment incompatible with a status In the National Guard. The enlistment of Army field clerks and Meld clerks, Quartermaster Corps, is therefore, in effect, prohibited by law. ( War Dept. Bull. 34, June 8, 1917.) ' Hdd, that in view of the fact that the appropriation limits the payment of commutation of quarters, heat, and light to officers only when on duty at places VN-here no public quarters are available, commutation of heat and light can not legally be paid to officers on duty in the field who are provided with tent quar- ters and who rent other quarters ut their own expense.

Held, that the language of tbe section referred to defines the Veterinary Corps as consisting of " said veterinarians and assistant veterinarians," and these words can relate only to the veterinarians and assistant veterinarians wliose appointments have been provided for in tbe preceding clause. The words, " including veterinarians now in the service," are employed in the section only for the purposes (1) of limiting the number of officers who may be appointed veterinarians and assistant veterinarians under tlie terms of the section, and (2) of indicating that the discharge of veterinarians then in the service was not required; and do not have the elfeet of including the "veter- inarians now in the ser\ice " in the Veterinary Corps^ which the section plainly constitutes through new apix>iutment. (War Dept. BulU 15, March 24, 1917.) • 'The question was presented whether the provision of the act of May 12, 1917 (Army appropriation act), amending section 24 of tlie national-defense act, so as to provide new age limits for appointments to the grade af second lieutenant, affected the eligibility for appointment as assistant veterinarians under section 16 of the national-defense a:Ct. Held, that, since the provision of section 16 of the national-defense act gov- erning the eligibility of persons for appointment as assistant veterinarians is not dependent upon or affected by the provisions governing the elegibility f«n- appointment as second lieutenant found in section 24 of that act, the amend- ment of section 24 by the act of May 12, 1917, does not affect the provision rehitive to appointment as assistant veterinarians found in section 16 of the national-defense act (War Dept.

Same — Examination for promotion. — Any assistant veteri- narian, in order to be promoted as hereinbefore provided, must first pass a satisfactory examination, under such rules as the President may prescribe, as to professional qualifications and adaptability for the military service; and if such assistant veterinarian shall be found deficient at such examination he shall be discharged from the Army with one year's pay. Id. 728g. Veterinarians noio in Army appointed in Veterinary Corps^ rank and pay of. — The Veterinarians of Cavalry and Field Artillery now in the Army, together with such veterinarians of the Quarter- master Corps as are now employed in said corps, who at the date of the approval of this Act shall have had less than five years' govern- mental service, may be appointed in the Veterinary Corps as assist- ant veterinarians with the rank, pay, and allowances of second lieu- tenant ; those who shall have had over five years of such service may be appointed in said corps as assistant veterinarians with the rank, pay, and allowances of first lieutenant ; and those who shall have had over fifteen years of such service may be appointed in said corps as Under the national-defense act of June 3, 1916 (39 Stat. 176), a person who Is especially qualified for duty as a veterinarian is eliirible for a commission as a veterinary officer in the federalized National Guard, even though he may not be a graduate of a veterinary college. (Sec. 74.) Candidates for the position of assistant veterinarian in the Regular Army, or that of reserve veterinarian, must, however, be graduates of a recognized veterinary college or university. (Sec. 16.) (Dig. Opin. J. A. G., January, 1918.) *The increase of the Military Establishment provided by the act of May 18, 1917, authorizes the appointment in the Veterinary Corps of officers of the grades of colonel and lieutenant colonel even though the national defense act of June 3, 1916, which established the Veterinary Corps, provides for no grades higher than that of major. This is so because the latter act prescribes' an organization appropriate to the limited forces authorized by that act for the Regular Army, whereas the enlarged forces called for by the act of May 18, 1917, render necessary the appointment of such officers for administrative purposes and in order to make such larger forces correspond in organization to that of the Regular Army.

(War Dept. Bull. 34, Sept. 12, 1916.) Upon an inquiry whether an assistant veterinarian appointed under the pro- visions of section 16 of the national defense act mi2;ht receive credit for service in the Bureau of Animal Industry as " Governmental service," within the mean- inc: of that section, Held, that since the national defense act as a whole relates to matters under the control of the War Department, it must be assumed that any term em- ployed in the section above referred to which describes service in a more jj:eneral way than the term " military service " must be construed to cover other service under the War Department only, rather than to extend the opera- tion of the statute to other departments of the Government, and therefore l>eyond the general purview of the act; and that, therefore, service in the Bureau of Animal Industry can not be counted as " Governmental service " witliin the meaning of section 16 of the national defense act. (War Dept. Bull. 15, Mar. 24, 1917.) - Held, that as the act limits the character of the examination to a practical professional and physical examination, it excludes a theoretical examination, and the examination required must be confined to such inquiry as will deter- mine the ability of the applicant skillfully to perform his profession, but may include a written examination on questions of a practical nature. (War Dept.

(For provisian of this section preceding this paragraph, see paragraph 728a.) * JFfeM, that as the law does not specifically require the veterinarian members of the board to have qualified under the examination provided by the national- defense act, and it would be impossible so to constitute the first board the ex- isting veterinarians in the service should be appointed members of the first boards convened for the required examinations. (War DeiTt. Bull. 18, July 6, 101(5.) ' For requirement that commissioned officers of the Medical Corps shall be citizens of the United States, see par. 723a, ante. * Held, that the prescribed ratio of seven officers to each one thousand enlisted men for the Medical Corps did not become effective with the passage of the act of .Tune 3, 1916, but that the total authorized increase of officers in said corps, to be determined according to the total authorized enlisted strength, including all increments, is subject to the provision in section 24 requiring the increases to be made in five approximately equal increments.

V2, Dec. 24, 1917.) The act of October 6, 1917, repeals section 10 of the act of June 3, 191G, in so far as it requires 24 years' service as a qualification for major in the Dental Corps and limits the number of majors to 16. The same act makes first lieu- tenants in the Medical Corps of the Ilegular Army and National Guard eligible to promotion as captains upon examination prescribed by the Secretary of War. The Secretary need not act in the premises unless he so desires. (War Dept. Bull. 75, Dec. 81, 1917.) ^ Under existing law there are two courses of action prescribed in respect to medical officers who fail to qualify for promotion for reasons other than phys- ical disability incurred in line of duty — the act of April 23, 1908 (35 Stat. 67), which applies to captains and lieutenants, providing that upon tlicir failure to pass the examination the finding of the examining board shall be passed upon by a board of review, and if it be concurred in by the board of review the officer shall be discharged with one year's pay; the other, the act of March 3, 3900 (35 Stat. 737), which applies in terms to majors, and provides that If su':h officer fails to pass an examination for promotion, for reasons other than physical disability incurred in line of duty, he shall be suspended from pro- motion and reexamined after the expiration of one year, and if he then fails to pass he shall be retired without promotion. Held, that by the above-quoted provision of the national -defense act the provisions of the act of March 3, 1909, supra, relating to examination of majors of the Medical Corps and the action to be taken in case of failure to qualify for promotion, is extended to include promotions of oflficers of the Medical Corps above the grade of major and below the grade of brigadier general. (War Dept. Bull. 18, July 8, 1916.) Section 10 of the national-defense act provides that persons hereafter com- missioned in the Medical Corps shall be promoted to the grade of captain after five years' service in the Medical Corps and upon passing the examinations pre- scribed by the President for promotion. The act of Oct. 6, 1917 (40 Stat. .397), provides that during the present emergency first lieutenants in the Medical Corps of the Ilegular Army and of the National Guard shall be eligible to promotion jis captain upon such examination as may be prescribed by the Secretary of War. Construing these provisions together with section 114 of national-defense ;-ct, it is held that all vacancies in the Medical Corps must be filled by permanent or temporary promotions, according to the character of the vacancy, of officers in the Medical Corps below the grade in which the vacancy exists, in order of seniority, subject to the required examinations. Temporary appointments can be resorted to only when possibilities of promotions by seniority have been exhausted. (War Dept. Bull. 72, Dec. 24, 1917.)

(Comp. Treas., July 22, 1916. War Dept. Bull. 28, Aug. 18, 1916.) Held, that this provision for advancement does not contemplate that it shall be by way of a new appointment and commission, as only the one office, that of dental surgeon, is created, and that increases in rank, pay, and allowances come by operation of law and depend exclusively upon length of service and the passing of required examinations. Held further, that dental surgeons are entitled to the benefits of section 32 of the act of Feb. 2, 1901 (31 Stat. 756), providing that: " When the exigencies of the service of any officer who would be entitled to promotion upon examination require him to remain absent from any place where an examining board could be convened, the President is hereby author- ized to promote such officer, subject to examination, and the examination shall take place as soon thereafter as practicable."

Period of enlistments in Regular Army and Regular Army Reserve in force on approval of Act. — All enlistments, including those in the Regular Army Reserve, which are in force on the date of the approval of this Act and which would terminate during the emer- gency shall continue in force during the emergency unless sooner dis- charged ; but nothing herein contained shall be construed to shorten the period of any existing enlistment.^ Sec. 7, Act of May 18, 1017 (40 Stat. 81). (For the preceding provision of this section see paragraph 1661, post, and for ensuing provision see paragraph 1662, post.) ^ Held, that the law contemplates that the President may cause reservists to be organized at all times in the manner indicated and that, in the discretion of the President, they may be attached as such to organizations of the Regular Army that are at maximum strength, but when so attached they are not con- stituent parts of such organizations and form no part of the numbers author- ized by law for such organizations, (War Dept. Bull. 34, Sept. 12, 1916.) Held, that when so assigned, reservists are eligible for promotion as other members of the organizations who are serving in the active period of their enlistment. (War Dept. Bull. 39, Oct. 6, 1916.) Held as follows: (a) Under the statute a reservist is entitled to active-duty pay and allow- ances from the time he reports in person in response to a mobilization order until the time he is actually excused. (b) As to whether clothing is an allowance to which a reservist is entitled under the circumstances stated, depends upon whether he actually avails him- self of such allowance. Clothing is essentially an allowance in kind, furnished for use of enlisted men when they are accepted for actual service, and is com- muted to a money value merely for convenience. Therefore, until a reservist is examined and found physically fit for service, and accepted for service, he is not entitled to any clothing allowance. After he is accepted for service he is entitled to draw clothing against his clothing allowance, but if he is excused before drawing clothing agninst his allowance he should not be credited with any such allowance. (c) A reservist who, in obedience to a summons, reports at the designated place and is found physically qualified complies with the statute and his right to mobilization pay becomes vested and the same should be paid. (War Dept. Bull. 47, Nov. 16, 1916.) Upon the discharge of an enlisted man of the Regular Army Reserve, recalled to active service, he is entitled to travel allowance from the place of his dis- charge to his home; that is, to the place from which he was furnished trans- portation when called to active duty.

Annual rate of pay for memhers of. — Subject to such regu- lations as the President may prescribe for their proper identification, and location, and physical condition, the members of the Regular Army Reserve shall be paid semiannually at the rate of $24 a year while in the reserve. Sec. 31, Act of June 3, 1916 (39 Stat. 188). 1031 j. Same — Active service pay. — When mobilized by order of the President, the members of the Regular Army Reserve shall, so long as they may remain in active service, receive the pay and allow- ances of enlisted men of the Regular Army of like grades.

Same — Continuous service pay during active service. — Any enlisted man who shall have reenlisted in the Regular Army Reserve shall receive during such active service the additional pay now pro- vided by law for enlisted men in his arm of the service in the second enlistment period. Id. (See par. 708, ante, for rates of continuous-service pay to enlisted men of Regular Army.) 10311. Bounty of reservists upon reporting for active duty if physically qualified. — Upon reporting for duty, and being found l^hysically fit for service, members of the Regular Army Reserve shall receive a sum equal to $3 per month for each month during which they shall have belonged to the reserve, as well as the actual neces- sary cost of transportation and subsistence from their homes to the 18, 1917, and (&) whether that act' was effective to continue in force enlistments in the National Guard, Held, that question (a) must be answered in the negative since the provision contained in section 7 of the act of May 18, 1917, is an inhibition against dis- charges -unless ordered by the Secretary of War under his general power to grant discharges in the interest of the Government, and since the soldier's en- listment is prolonged for the period of the emergency by the provision quoted, a discharge for the purpose of immediate enlistment would involve administra- tive labor and a multiplication of records without any resultant benefit to tlie Government. Held further as to question (&), that since the provision quoted is appli- cable to " all enlistments," it is applicable to enlistments in the National Guard, they being enlistments in the National Guard of the United States as well as in the^ National Guard of a Stnto; and the question is answered in the affirmative.

Id. 103 In. Use of other Government departments for paying, m^hiliz- '>ng, etc.., reserve organizations. — The President may, subject to such rules and regulations as in his judgment may be necessary, utilize the services of members and employees of all departments of the Government of the United States, without expense to the individual reservist, for keeping in touch with, paying, and mobilizing the Regular Army Reserve, the Enlisted Reserve Corps, and other reserve organizations. Sec. 33, id. 188, 1031o. Bounty for reenlistment in time of war of certain honorably discharged men as an auxiliary to. — For the purpose of utilizing as an auxiliary to the Regular Army Reserves the services of men who have had experience and training in the Regular Army, or in the United States Volunteers, outside of the continental limits of the United States, in time of actual or threatened hostilities, and after the President shall, by proclamation, have called upon honorably discharged soldiers of the Regular Army to present themselves for reenlistment therein within a specified period, subject to such con- ditions as may be prescribed, any person who shall have been dis- * In tlie case of an enlisted man of the He^lar Army Reserve called to the colors for active service who was convicted hy general court-martial and sen- tencer] to be dishonorably discharged " and to forfeit all pay and allowances now due and to -become due while under confinement under this sentence," Held, that the sentence operated to forfeit not only the unpaid pay for active service which became due and payable monthly and the balance, if any, due the soldier on account of clothing and other allowances, but included as well the amounts which had become due the soldier upon his reporting for active duty in response to the Tresident's summons, 'mown as mobilization end reservist'3 pay, which had not been paid him at the time of his conviction and sentence, thfis view being in consonance with the decision of the Supreme Court in the Landers case (92 U. S., 80), in which it was held— " The bounty which the petitioner claimed was included in the allowances for- feited. Under the term 'allowances' everything was embraced which could be recovered from the Government by the soUlier in consideration of his enlistment and services, except the stipulated monthly compensation designated as pay." In the instant case the soldier became entitled under section 31 of the act of June 3 1916, upon reporting for duty and '^eing found physically fit for service, to the sum of .$3.07 as reservist's pay, being $2 per month for period from .Tune 3, 1916, to July 18, 1916. and, under the provisions of section 32 of the same act he became entitled to $15.30 as mobilization pay, being ^3 per month for the entire period of his furlough from February IG, 191o, to July 18, 1916, inclusive. Held, that so much of paragraph 86 of the Regulations for the Regular Army Reserve, published August 15, 1916, as specifier $5 per month as the rate of mobilization pay up to June 2, 1916, is invalid.

Discharge of enlisted men on account of dependents, active duty of retired enlisted men, grades and pay. — The President may provide for the discharge of any or all enlisted men whose status with respect to dependents ^ renders such discharge advisable : and he may also authorize the employment on any active duty of retired enlisted men of the Regular Army, either with their rank on the re- tired list or in higher enlisted grades, and such retired enlisted men shall receive the full pay and allowances of the grades in which they are actively employed.^ Sec. 7, Act of May 18, 1917 {iO Stat. 81), ( For the preceding provision of this section seen paragraph lOSlh^, ante, and for the ensuing section see paragraphs 1663, 1664, post. ) 1 Held, that this provision is applicable to all discharges by purchase issued on and after the date of the approval of the act, irrespective of the time when tlie soldier enlisted. Held, that this provision as a whole is inapplicable to the National Guard, in view of the alternative of furloughing the soldier "to the Regular Army Re- serve," and that its terms indicate that it was intended to apply only to the lU'^vuhir Army. (War Dept. Bull. 18, July 8, 1916.) Held, that this provision repeals section 30 of the act of February 2, 1901 (31 Stat., 756), which authorized the discharge only upon the death of a de- pendent parent and after one year's service. (War Dept. Bull. 28, Aug. 18, 1916.) ^An enlisted man, who was entitled to an honorable discharge because of dependent relatives, through error was given a discharge without honor reciting that he was discharged on account of fraudulent enlistment. Although the certificate of discharge, having been executed, can not be revoked, it can be corrected by an indorsement thereon so as to show the true facts. The records of the War Department can be similarly corrected. These corrections having been made, the man's right to the usual pay and transportation will accrue as upon an honorable discharge. (Dig. Opin. J. A. G., February, 1918.) ' It was directed in War Department orders that certain retired enlisted men named therein, " are assigned to active duty in their grades, to take effect June 20, 1917, and will be sent by the commanding general of the department in which the soldiers reside to the stations indicated for assignment to active duty." The men were not directed by the department commander to report for active duty until some time after June 20, 1C17, and the question was presented whether they were entitled to active-duty pay from June 20, the date named in War Department orders as the date of their assignment to active duty. Sec- lion 7 of the act of May 18, 1917, provides that the President may " authorize the employment on any active duty of retired enlisted men of the Regular Army, either^ \\'ith their rank on the retired list or in the higher enlisted grades, and such retired enlisted men shall receive the full pay and allowances of the grades in which they are actively employed. Held, that the statute indicates clearly that the soldiers must be employed on active duty before full pay and allowances can accrue ; that the War Depart- ment order in such cases is to be regarded only as authority for employment of the men on active duty and does not have the effect of authorizing pay from the date mentioned therein, and that under the statute active-duty pay does not commence until the men start in response to specific orders to report for duty.

Act. of Aug. 29, 1916 {39 Stat. 631), (The acts of May 12 and Oct. 6, 1917 (40 Stat. 51, 359), contain provisions identical witli above.) ^ Tlie question was presented wliether tlie Government was autiiorized to pay- mechanics employed under lump-sum appropriations extra compensation for overtime -worli in excess of eight hours a day, such overtime work being au- thorized in emergencies. Held, that as there is no law governing the rates of pay of mechanics em- ployed directly by the Government who are paid lump-sum appropriations, but the terms of their employment are fixed by agreement between the parties, it is discretionary with the department to allow, by agreement with such em- ployees, extra pay for overtime work in excess of eight hours; and recom- tneiided, in view of the prevailing practice in the commercial and industrial world of allowing mechanics and laborers extra pay for overtime in excess of a basic eight-hour day, and of the action of Congress in requiring adherejice to this practice as to persons employed on contracts with the United States (act of Mar. 4, 1917, 39 Stat., 1192), that mechanics and laborers employed directly by the Government be placed upon equal terms of employment in this respect. (War Dept. Bull. 67, Nov. 30, 1917.) Contracts for clothing may not contain a provision permitting more than eight hours' work per day for eight hours' pay, even though the week's work be limited to 48 hours. Under the Executive order of March 24, 1917, more than eight hours' work per day is permitted, provided that full pay be given for eight hours, and pay at the rate of time and one-half for overtime.

Act of Aug. 1, 19U {38 Stat 629) , ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS.* i295a. Regulation of sale^ etc.^ in or near military camps or to officers and enlisted men. — The President of the United States, as Commander in Chief of the Army, is authorized to make such regu- lations governing the prohibition of alcoholic liquors in or near mili- tary camps and to the officers and enlisted men of the Army as he may from time time deem necessary or advisable.^ Sec. 12, Act of May 18, 1917 {Jfi Stat. 82) . ^ Narcotics.— T\iQ act of December 17, 1914, Sections 1-12 (38 Stat. 785-790), provides for the registration of, with collectors of internal revenue, and imposes a special tax upon all persons who produce, import, manufacture, compound, deal in, dispense, sell, distribute, or give away opium or coca leaves, their salts, derivatives, or preparations thereof (cocaine, morphine, heroin, codeine, etc.) ; makes it unlawful for any person not registered under the provisions of the Act to have in his possession or under his control any of the drugs mentioned above ; and imposes a fine of $2,000 or imprisonment for five years, or both, upon con- viction, for a violation of the act. ^ With reference to a recommendation that Tampa, Fla., where certain troops were assembled preliminary to their transfer to a division training camp, be declared a military post in order to require the closing of all saloons during the presence of the soldiers there. Held, that the term "military camps," as used in the act of May 18, 1917, and the regulations made under authority thereof governing the prohibition of alcoholic liquors " in or near military camps," had reference to camps estab- lished for purposes of mobilization, training, embarkation, etc., of troops and were not intended to apply to places of preliminary assembly such as that under consideration. (War Dept. Bull. 54, Sept. 26, 1917.) Section 12 of the act of May 12, 1917, and the regulations thereunder, pro- hibiting intoxicating liquors within specified distances of camps, apply to mili- tary camps, in Porto Rico for the mobilization and training of drafted men. (W^ar Dept. Bull. 67, Nov. 30, 1917.) There is no authority under section 12 of the draft act and the regulations of the President thereunder for seizure of liquor within the proscribed zones nor for search of premises therein without a search warrant. The regulations are to be enforced through the Department of Justice. Cooperation with the Commissioner of Internal Revenue is advised. (Id.) The Federal laws and regulations concerning intoxicating liquors and ba^wdy houses witliin proscribed limits of camps and concerning tlie sale of intoxicants to soldiers in uniform should be strictly enforced, and the commanding officers should request local authorities to enforce rigidly and vigorously the local statutes and regulations as to intoxicants and vi€e and should cooperate with thcni so far as possible. ( Id. ) The word camp as used in the regulations of the Pi'esident issued under section 12 of the draft act includes not only the space actually occupied by the 272 MILITAKY LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES^ 1915. 1295b. Same — Sale jyTohibited at amj military station^ camp^ fort, et€.^ except for medicinal purposes. — No person, corporation, partner- ship, or association shall sell, supply, or have in his or its possession any intoxicating or spirituous liquors at any military station, canton- ment, camp, fort, post, officers' or enlisted men's club, which is being used at the time for military purposes under this Act, but the Secre- tary of War may make regulations permitting the sale and use of in- toxicating liquors for medicinal purposes. Id, 1295c. Same — Sale of^ to officers or enlisted men wkile in uni- form. — It shall be unlawful to sell any intoxicating liquor, including beer, ale, or wine, to any officer or member of the military forces while in uniform, except as herein provided. Id. 1295d. Same — Punishinent. — Any person, corporation, jjartnership, or association violating the provisions of this section or the regula- tions made thereunder shall, unless otherwise punishable under the Articles of War, be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment for not more than twelve months, or both. Id. (The act of October 6, 1917 (40 Stat. 393), provides that in constrninj? the provisions of the above section the word "Army " shall extend to and include " Navy " ; the word " military " shall include " naval " ; "Articles of War," shall include "Articles f?5r the Government of the Navy," and the words " camps, station, cantonment, camp, fort, post, officers' or enlisted men's club," shall include such places under naval jurisdiction as the President may prescribe, and the powers therein conferred upon the Secretary of War with regard to the military service are, by the last-named act conferred upon the Secretary of the Navy with regard to the naval service.) tents or other cover in which the soldiers live but as well the adjacent territory habitually used by the encamped forces in the performance of their military duties. Within the proscribed limits of such camps the regulations should be rigidly enforced, and no suggestion of local civil authorities to the contrary should be tolerated. (Id.) Licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquors granted by the respective States can not be revoked by Federal authority for violation of Federal regulations. (Id.) The expense of conducting investigations and procuring evidence against bootleggers, drug users, and prostitutes for violations of the regulations under the draft act can not be paid from the appropriation for " Contingencies of the Army." Such expense should be borne by the Department of Justice. (War Dept. Bull. 72, Dec. 24, 1917.) The regulations of the President under section 12 of the selective-draft act prohibiting intoxicating liquors within prescribed distances of military camps do not apply to permanent Regular Army posts. The regulations of the Secre- tary of War under section 13, prohibiting the keeping or setting u"p houses of ill fame, brothels, or bawdyhouses within prescribed distances of military camps do apply to Regular Army posts. (Id.) The military authorities have no power to order the Military Police or any other part of the Army, as such, to assist the civil authorities in the execution of the law, except when called upon in the manner provided for in the Constitu- tion of the United States and the acts of Congress. (20 Stat. 152.) This is equally true within as well as w^ithout the five-mile zones around military camps prescribed by the President, within which is forbidden the sale of alcoholic liquors and the keeping of bawdy houses. The foregoing does not contemplate the situation where, under the well-known conditions, military power may by proper authority be exercised in aid of the Federal civil power. (Dig. Ops. J. A. G., March, 1918.) 1915. 273 1295e. Suppression^ etc.^ of house of ill fame^ etc.^ near military camps^ etc. — The Secretary of War is hereby authorized, empowered, and directed during the present war to do everything by him deemed necessary to suppress and prevent the keeping or setting up of houses of ill fame, brothels, or bawdy houses within such distance as he may deem needful of any military camp, station, fort, post, can- tonment, training, or mobilization place.

Id. (The act of October 6, 1917 (40 Stat. 393), provi(fes that in construing the provisions of the above section the words " camp, station, fort, post, cantonment, training, or mobilization place," shall include such places under naval jurisdic- tion as the President may prescribe, and the powers therein conferred upon the Secretary of War are, by the last-named act, conferred upon the Secretary of the Navy with regard to the naval service.) 1315a.

(War Dept. Bull. 28. Aug. 18, 1916.) Held, that the statute only authorizes additional sergeants, and that while it may be advisable and permissible at times to detail sergeants, first class, to duty as instructors (Bull. 28, W. D., 1916, p. 9), such an assignment can not operate to increase the authorized number of sergeants, first class, which is fixed by law. (War Dept. Bull. 3, Jan. 19, 1917.)

The Secretary of War may, upon like application, detail one or more enlisted men of the Regular Army with each State, Territory, or District of Colum- bia for duty in connection with the National Guard. But nothing in this section shall be so construed as to prevent the detail of retired officers as now provided by law. Sec. 100^ id. 208. (See paragraphs 1333a-1333cl, post.) 1332c.

Held, that as section 100 of the national-defense act, approved June 3. 1916. authorizes officers of the Regular Army detailed to duty with the National Guard to " accept commissions in the National Guard, with the permission of the President, determinable in his discretion," and as section 61 of the same act recognizes the rights of the States " in the use of the National Guard within their respective borders in time of peace," the service of the regular officer under his commission as an officer of the National Guard would not be a viola- tion of the posse eomitatus act; that while holding a commission in the National Guard under authority of the act of June 3, 1916, he would be under orders of the governor of the State, and for the time being his status as a regular officer would be in abeyance; and that as an officer of the National Guard he would be subject to the lawful orders of the governor of the State.

Id. USE OF ARMED LAND FORCES OF UNITED STATES. 1339a. Di^afted into service of United States. — When Congress shall have authorized the use of the armed land forces of the United States, for any purpose requiring the use of troops in excess of those of the Eegular Army, the President may, under such regulations, including such physical examination, as he may perscribe, draft into the military service of the United States, to serve therein for the period of the war unless sooner discharged, any or all members of the National Guard and of the National Guard Reserve.^ Sec. 111. id. Ml, 1339b. Sam-e — Organization of; subject to rules and Articles of War; discharged from militia. — All persons so drafted shall, from the date of their draft, stand discharged from the militia,^ and shall ^ It is, therefore, clear that the President, iu exercising the power of draft, is not required to draft the National Guard as a whole, but may draft a part thereof, in his discretion. He could, therefore, utilize the remainder of the National Guard as a part of a Volunteer Army in the manner presciibed in sec. 3 of the Volunteer Army Act. It may be here observed, however, that enlist- ment in the Volunteer Army is a voluntary matter, and the President can not compel the National Guard organization to enter the same. (VTar Dept. Bull. 18, July 8, 1916.) The War Department is under no necessity to preserve the integrity of tiie National Guard units drafted into the Federal service. The National Guard element of the Army of the United States is not to be distinguished from any other com.posite element thereof, and, with certain exceptions as to certain officers, all members of the Army of the United States are upon the same plane, under the same legal obligation and have the same legal duties. During the war there is but one Army — the Army of the United States — and every organi- zation, bureau officer, and man in the military service is a part of it. Accord- ingly, members of the Army of the United States drafted therein from Coast Artillery organizations of the National Guard have no more legal connection with the Coast Artillerj^ than with any other branch of the service and they may be assigned to any branch of the service and organized and officered as the President sees fit. (Dig. Opin. .1. A. G., January, 1918.) ^The provisions of section 72 of the national defense act of June 3. 1916 (39 Stat. 201), that an enlisted man discharged from the service of the National Guard shall receive a discharge in writing in such form and with 'such classification as is or shall i)e prescribed for the Regular Array, does not • require that individual certificates of discharge should l>e given by the proper j State officers to members of the National Guard drafted into the service of the United States under the provisions of section 111 of said national defense act. The latter section provides that all persons so drafted into the Federal service shall from the date of their draft stand discharged from the militia an^ shall from said date be subject to such laws and regulations for the gov- ernment of the Army of the Unitetl States, as may be applicable to members of the Volunteer Army. This provision does not discharge the members of the National Guard from military service but serves to divert them automati- cally of their militia status and to absorb them into the service of the United States. When mustered out of the Federal service they revert to their former status in the militia of the several States from which they were by the draft called into the Federal service, subject to the qualification that the time spent in the service of the United States will count upon their enlistment or terms of conunission. It follows therefore that it is neither necessary nor proper that individual certificates of discharge provided for by section 72 should be issued to members of the militia when their organizatons are drafted into the Federal service.

D., 1916), with reference to charg- ing the clothing in the possession of the militia on their muster into the Federal service against the initial allowance of the men, submitted the following questions : (a) Whether the interpretation of the law as given in the said opinion is not in violation of paragraph 460, Army Regulations? • (&) Whether it does not have the effect of requiring the full price of clothing issued to the State and brought with the National Guard or Organized Militia into the Federal service to be charged against the initial allowance of the enlisted men? KelH, with reference to (a), that the requirement as stated in the said opinion of the Judge Advocate General is contrary to the terms of the regulation, but that the law requires that the militia while in the Federal service shall receive the same pay and allowances as Regular troops, and as Regular troops are charged with the clothing supplied to them on enlistment, it follows that the clothing with which the militia is supplied when entering the Federal service, the clothing having been furnished by the Government, must be charged to them ; that the requirement of the regulation, being inconsistent with the law, must give way to the law. Held, with respect to (&), that the opinion of this office under consideration does not require the clothing to be charged at, the full issue price of the same, but that if the clothing is worn it should be charged at a reduced price fixed by a surveying officer in view of its condition at the time, (W^ar Dept. Bull. 15, Mar. 24, 1917.) The question was presented for decision whether enlisted men of the Organ- ized Militia or National Guard when brought into the service of the United State's under the militia act of 1903, as amended, or when drafted into the Federal service under section 111 of the act of June 3, 1916, are entitled *to receive additional pay for qualifications as first or second class gunners attained prior to their being brought into the service of the United States. Held, that inasmuch as the requirements for qualifications as gunners are the same for the enlisted men in the militia or National Guard as for the enlisted men of the Regular Army, and as the laws relating to pay give the militia, when brought into the service of the United States, the same pay and allowances as are or may be provided by law for the Regular Army, they are entitled to the additional pay as gunners under their qualifications attained prior to their being brought into the Federal service, subject to the conditions imposed by paragraph 1344, AYmy Regulations, 1913.

Same — Pensions. — ^When any officer or enlisted man of the National Guard drafted into the service of the United States in time of the National Guard on duty at a military post, the question was raised as to the legality of their being charged by the Quartermaster Corps for fuel and light consumed by them in public quarters. : Held, that Congress has very clearly manifested its intention in legislation that National Guard troops and members of the Officers' Reserve Corps in the active service of the United States shall receive the same pay and allow- ances as is provided by law for officers and enlisted men of the Regular Army of like grades, and that under the act of March 2, 1907 (34 Stat. 1167), all officers are entitled to heat and light actually necessary for the allowance of quarters to which they are entitled and have been assigned, and in case National Guard officers and members of the Officers' Reserve Corps on duty at any military post are duly occupying their authorized allowance of public quarters at such post, they should not be charged for heat and light actually necessary for such quarters. (War Dept. Bull. 54, Sept. 26, 1917.) Officers and enlisted men of the National Guard are, when drafted into the Federal service, under the act of June 3, 1916, entitled to credit for their prior service, both State and Federal, in the National Guard, for purposes of longevity and continuous-service pay. But this right is limited to those actually brought into the service as National Guardsmen under the draft. (As to rank see below.) (War Dept. Bull. 67, Nov. 30, 1917.) An officer of the National Army or of the Reserve Corps can not count prior service in the National Guapd in computing service for longevity pay. Such service may be so counted only by officers drafted as National Guard , officers, and only so long as they continue in service under the draft. (War I Dept. Bull. 72, Dec. 24, 1917.) i Commissioned officers of the Regular Army who have' had State (not Fed- ! eral) service in the militia or National Guard are not entitled to count such i service in the computation of their longevity pay. Officers of the National ' Guard drafted into the military service of the United States under section 111 of the national defense act of June 3, 1916, are entitled to have counted all legal service which they have had in the Organized Militia or National Guard and in the Army and Navy, if any, in computing their longevity pay. (War Dept. Bull. 75, Dec. 31, 1917.) Proof of previous service in the National Guard as a basis of claim for longevity pay on the part of a member of the National Guard drafted into ; the Federal service should be made out by means of clear and unequivocal ; evidence and by the best evidence obtainable. In those cases where such ; service as an officer or an enlisted man is evidenced by a commission, war- i rant, oath of enlistment, or other document, the claimant should produce, if ? possible, either the document itself or a certificate from the adjutant general of the State or the person in charge of such records to the effect that there was issued or filed such a commission, warrant, enlistment oath, or other document. If it be not possible to produce such document or such certificate as to the existence of such a record, secondary evidence thereof can be resorted to only upon proof of certificate of the adjutant general or of the custodian of such records, showing that diligent search ha;? been made and that no record of such commission, warrant, or enlistment has been found or that such record has been lost or destroyed. The door to the admission of secondary evidence having been thus opened, proof of such serv- ice in the National Guard should then be made by the best and most con- vincing secondary evidence obtainable. (Dig. Opin. J. A. G., January, 1918.) An officer in the National Guard of a State who resigned his commission therein in order to enter a reserve officer's training camp and who was there- after commissioned in the National Army is not entitled to longevity pay under section 111 of the national defense act of June 3, 1916. When he en- tered the training camp he was not on the footing of a drafted man, but was a oivilian candidate for a commission in the Army and as such he was no longer a member of the National Guard; nor was he at that time, or thereafter, drafted into Federal service. *' Such officers only as were drafted into Federal service under section 111 of the national defense act as members of the National Guard or National Guard Reserve are entitled to count State service in the National Guard for longevity pay purposes."

Id. ^ Under section 112 of the national-defense act of .Tune 3, 1916. officers of the National Guard drafted into the service of the Ignited States are entitled to the benefits of the pension laws. By section 2 of the selective-draft act of May 18, 1917, the laws and regulations governing the Regular Army, except as to promo- tions, apply to such officers so drafted in so far as such laws and regulations are applicable to persons whose permanent retention in the military service is not contemplated by existing law. It is not contemplated that officers drafted into tlie service are to be permanently retained therein. Therefore the laws gov- erning I'etirement do not apply to them, but the pension laws do apply. (War Dept. Bull. 75, Dec. 31, 1917.) ^ Held as follows: Under the national-defense act the National Guard occu- pies a dual statue, i. e., as a national force and also as a State force, and no officer or enlisted man can remain a member unless he is physically qualified for Federal service. Congress has prescribed the qualifications for commission or enlistment in the National Guard and has asserteaif^.— Enlisted men in the National Guard of the several States, Territories, and the District of Columbia now serving under enlistment contracts which contain an obligation to defend the Constitution of the United States and to obey the orders of the President of the United States shall be recognized as members of the National Guard under the provisions of this Act for the unexpired portion of their present enlistment contracts. When any such enlistment contract does not contain such obligation, the enlisted man shall not be recognized as a member of the National Guard until he shall have signed an enlistment contract and taken and subscribed to the following oath of enlistment, upon signing which credit shall be given for the period already served under the old enlistment contract : " I do hereby acknowledge to have ^Ileld, that the sense of the above statutory provision is that an enlisted man of the National Guard who elects to remain in service instead of being fur- loughed to the National Guard Reserve at the expiration of the first three-year period of his enlistment must make the election as to the whole of his enlist- ment period, and that the soldier in the instant case could not elect to remain in the active service only one year of the remaining three years of his enlist- ment period. (AVar Dept Bull. 47, Nov. 16, 1916.) A soldier in a National Guard organization was, through misinterpretation of the regulations governing the National Guard Reserve, continued in the active service after the expiration of his active enlistm.ent, and it was asked whether he might be continued in the active service and be allowed pay for the time already served. Held, that, while the term of enlistment prescribed by the national-defense act would seem to involve an automatic passing to the reserve at the expira- tion of the active period of enlistment, such a deduction can not be held to interfere with the soldier's privilege of continuing in the active service, in view of the proviso of section 69, national-defense act, reading : " that in the National Guard the privilege of continuing in active service during the whole of an enlistment period * * * shall not be denied by reason of anything contained in this act" ; and that since the soldier referred to in the inquiry desired to continue in the active service, and actually did so, he may properly be regarded as having legally continued in active service, his service in that ca- pacity having been accepted by proper authority. (War Dept. Bull. 34, June 8, 1917.) Upon questions (a) whether soldiers could legally be discharged by reason of expiration of term of enlistment subsequent to the passage of the act of May 18, 1917, and (b) whether that act was effective to continue in force enlist- ments in the National Guard, Held, that question (a) must be answered in the negative since the provision contnined in section 7 of the act of May 18, 1917, is an inhibition against dis- charges unless ordered by the Secretary of War under his general power to grant discliarges in the interest of the Government, and since the soldier's enlistment is prolonged for the period of the emergency by the provision, a discharge for the purpose of immediate enlistment would involve administra- tive labor and a multiplication of records without any resultant benefit to the Government. Held further as to question (&), that since the provision' quoted is applicable to " all enlistments," it is applicable to enlistments in the National Guard, they being enlistments in the National Guard of the Uniteil States as well as in the National Guard of a State; and the question is answered in the affirma- tive.

(h) Are the families of enlisted men belonging to organizations brought into the Federal service under the President's call of June 18, 1916, still entitled to the benefits of the act of August 29, 1916, as amended, where such organizations remain continuously in service under said call pursuant to the orders sus- suspending the original orders for their muster out? (c) Are the families of enlisted men of the Ilegular Army entitled to the benefits of the act of August 29, 1916, as amended, so long as there remain in the service of the United States any organization of the National Guard under the call of June 18, 1916, or do the benefits of the statutes extend to include such period as National Guard organizations may be in the service of the United States under the call of March 25, 1917? Held, that the legislation for the relief of dependent families of soldiers (act of Aug. 29, 1916, as amended by the act of Sept. 8, 1917, 39 Stat., 649, 801) was enacted with reference to enlisted men belonging to National Guard organi- zations brought into the service under calls made by the President prior to 324 MILITAKY LAWS OF THE UK^ITED STATES^ 1915. 1349a. Men enlisted to bring organizations up to mimTnum entitled to pay from dMte of enlistment to date of muster in or rejection. — Nothing in this Act or previous Acts of Congress shall be construed to prohibit the paying of men enlisted by State authorities of any State for militia organization for the purpose of bringing said organ- ization up to the minimum necessary to permit of the muster in the said organization, from the date of such enlistments to the date of muster in or from date of enlistment to date of rejection, after physical examination.^ Act of Aug, 29, 1916 {39 Stat. 62Jf). 1349b.

Id. 633. 1351a. Permanent annual appropriation. — A sum of money shall hereafter be appropriated annually, to be paid out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the support of the National Guard, including the expense of providing arms, ordnance stores, quartermaster stores, and camp equipage, and all other mili- tary supplies for issue to the National Guard, and such other ex- penses pertaining to the said guard as are now or ma}?^ hereafter bo authorized by law. Sec. 67, Act of June 3, 1916 {39 Stat. 199). (See paragraphs 1352-1355.) 1351b. Apportionment among States and Territories. — The appro- priation provided for in this section shall be apportioned among the such legislation, and to enlisted men of the Regular Ai*my in active service during the continuance of the National Guard service under such calls, and to none others; and that in order that those organizations responding to the call of March 25, 1917, and those retained in service, as specified in that call, may be on an equal footing, so far as family benefits are concerned, it must be held that they are all in the service under the call of March 25, 1917, those organi- zations which had not been discharged but were retained in the service having ceased to be in the service under the call of June 18, 1916, from and after March 25, 1917. All three questions should, therefore, be answered in the negative. The present crisis in national affairs has brought on new conditions, and Congress being in session at this time if it desires to continue the payment for the support of the families of enlisted men of National Guard organizations brought into the service or continued in the service under the President's call of March 25, 1917, and of certain enlisted men of the Regular Army, legislation expressive of such desire should be enacted at this time. There will thus be an opportunity to place all on an equal footing. (Comp. Treas., Apr. 9, 1917; War Dept. Bull 26, May 7, 1917.) ^Held, that in the case of enlisted men recruited for the purpose of bringing a National Guard organization up to the maximum strength, who are mustered In, payment may be made from the date of enlistment to the date of muster in, but that in the case of those similarly enlisted who are rejected, after physical examination, there is no authority for their payment from Federal funds for the time between the date of enlistment and the date of rejection.

He shall receipt and account for all funds and property belonging to the United States in possession of the National Guard of his State, Ter- ritory, or District, and shall make such returns and reports concern- ing the same as may be required by the Secretary of War. The Sec- retary of War is authorized, on the requisition of the governor of a State or Territory or the commanding general of the National Guard of the District of Columbia, to pay to the property and dis- bursing officer thereof so much of its allotment out of the annual appropriation for the support of the National Guard as shall, in the judgment of the Secretary of War, be necessary for the purposes enumerated therein. He shall render, through the War Department, such accounts of Federal funds intrusted to him for disbursement as may be required by the Treasury Department. Before entering upon the performance of his duties as property and disbursing officer he shall be required to give good and sufficient bond to tlie United States, the amount thereof to be determined by the Secretary of War, for the faithful performance of his duties and for the safe-keeping and proper disposition of the Federal property and funds intrusted to his care. He shall, after having qualified as property and dis- bursing officer, receive pay for his services at a rate to be fixed by the Secretary of War, and such compensation shall be a charge against the whole sum annually appropriated for the support of the National Guard. Id. 200, The following- questions were presented for decision : («) Whether a retired officer of the Regular Army, appointed as an ofRcer of the National Guard and detailed as property and disbursing officer, can re- ceive the pay as property and disbursing officer provided for bj* section 67, act of June 3, 1916, and the National Guard pay provided by section 109, act of June 3, 1916, in addition to his retired pay of the Regular Army. (&) Whether a retired enlisted man of the Regular Army, appoiTited as an officer of the National Guard and detailed as property and disbursing ofRcer, can receive the pay as property and disbursing officer provided by section 67 of the act of .Tune 3, 1916, and the National Guard pay provided by section 109 of the act cited, in addition to his pay as an enlisted man, retired, of the Regular Army. Section 74 of the national-defense act of June 3. 1916, specifying the class from which National Guard officers may fcfe selected, includes retired officers of the Regular Army, but does not include retired enlisted men except as they may become eligible by enlisting in the National Guard. Bch}, as to (a), that the effect of the statutory provision for the appoint- ment of retired officers of the Regular Army as officers in the National Guard is to give a retired officer so appointed the pay provided for in sectio!is 67 and 109 of the national-defense act in addition to his retired pay in the Army ; and, as to (?)), that, inasmuch as the statute does not provide for the entry of re- MILITARY LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, 1915. 327 1351e.

Dec, 49, and 23 Id., 444), which are to the effect that the pay of a retired enlisted man of the Army while in the Federal service as a member of the Organized Militia or National Guard sliould be discontinued; in other words, that there is no prohibition against the commissioning of a retired enlisted man in the National Guard, after his enlistment therein, and then appointing him property and disbursing officer and paying him therefor from the amount appropi-iated from Federal funds, but during such time he will not be entitled to continue to draw his retired pay as an enlisteil man of the Army. Accordingly, question (a) answered in the affirmative and question (&) in the negative. (Comp. Treas., May 21, 1917; War Dept. Bull. "34, June 8, 1917.) A National Guard organization, which had been previously called into Fed- eral service, was mustered out of the Federal service on March 26, 1917, and used for guard duty in State service for some weeks thereafter. Certain engineer, ordnance, and quartermaster supplies belonging to the Federal Gov- ernment, which had been issued to this organization were retained after its muster-out of Federal service, and were continued in use by it as a National Guard organization, wiiile engaged in such guard duty. The transfer of accountability for the property from the accountable officer in Federal service to the property and disbursing officer of the United States for the State in question, was not made at or immediately subsequent to the muster-out as directed by the War Department. Held, that the National Guard officer who, pursuant to orders from the State authorities, thereafter inventoried and trans- ferred such property to the property and disbursing officer, was not entitled to pay for his services from Federal funds, since such w^ork was not done for the F(Hleral Government nor at the instance of an officer of the Feileral Government who had authority to direct it to be done. Any claim for pay which he may have will be against the State. (Dig. Opin. J. A. G., February, 1918.) 328 MILITAEY LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES^ 1915. 1354a.

(War Dept. Bull. 67, Nov. 30, 1917.) Relator was brought before the court on a writ of habeas corpus. He was a citizen of Russia, had never declared his intention of becoming a citizen of the MILITARY LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, 1915. 475 1639. Quotas from States, Territories, and District of Colwnhia, — ■ Quotas for the several States, Territories, and the District of Co- United States, was drafted for military service and ordered to report, and was arrested by the military authorities for not reporting. He received the usual notices; lie never made any claim for exemption on ground of alienage in the manner prescribed by the regulations. He alleged that he had made certain informal claims and failed to mal^e formal claim by reason of a.ssurances given him by members of the local board that being an alien he need not trouble himself further. This was denied by members of the local board. After the time for filing exemption claims had expired he made formal claim. The court stated the question at issue to be this: " Is a person who failed to claim exemption on the gi'ound that he was a noudeclaraut alien, and who now asserts (without contradiction) that he Is siich an alien, properly in the custody of the military authorities? " The question is answered in the affirmative, on the ground that the relator was not denied a fair hearing and the local and district boards acted in strict accordance v,ath the procedure laid down by the regulations. The following excerpt from the opinion is of special interest : •'The remaining question is whether the local board wholly lacke<.l .jurisdic- tion. It is contended because nondeclarant aliens are exempted from the draft that no obligation was placed upon relator affirmatively to present his claim for exemption, and this is but another way of stating that by virtue of the act itself relator was automatically exempted. " It must be conceded at the outset that Congress had the power to subject i all persons to the draft whether citizens or aliens. " Tlie question, then, is whether from the structure of the act it was the intention of Congress that only those who claimed exemption should in proper cases be exempted or whether thoae entitled to exemption could disregard the procedure provided for by the act and the regulations and show aliunde, as liere, that they fell within one of the statutory exempt classes. " The whole plan of the act is undoubtedly to require that those who claim i exemption shall affirmatively present their claim to the appropriate body so i that that body can determine as a fact whether the person falls within the ' exempted classes. When, tlierefore, no such claim is presented and the pro- ceedings of the local and the district boards are regular in every respect, the : court can- not go outside of the proceedings of the boards to determine inde- pendently something which the act required should be determined by th.ese boards." (United States ex rel. Koopowitz r. Finley. United States District Court, Soutliern District of New York, Mayer, judge, Nov. 3, 1917 : War DepL ' Bull. 72, Dec. 24, 1917.) The petitioner was a citizen of the Kingdom of Spain, who had filed his declaration of intention to become a citizen of the United States. He was arrested off the shore of Mexico by a United States war vessel and detained ■ under process for evading the selective draft act. He made application for a writ of habeas corpus, claiming that when arrested he vras on his way to Spain, { and that he was not subject to the draft act on account of the provisioBS of the treaty with Spain by which its citizens are exempt from compulsory mili- tary service in the United States forces.

As pointed out in United States v. Finley (245 Fed. 871), alienage is a privilege which like all other claims for exemption must be asserted by the person claiming it in the manner prescribed in the regulations. It is immaterial that subsequent to the happening of the above-recited facts war has been declared upon Austria, since the status of the accuseil was fixed on the date of his induction into the military service. (Dig. Opin. J. A. G., Jan- uary, 1918.) The Supreme Court of the United States has held the selective draft act of IMay 18, 1917, to be a proper exercise of the Vvar x^ower conferred upon Congress by Article I, section 8, of the Constitution. In response to the contention of appellants that the power conferred upon Congress to raise armies was only coterminous with United States citizenship and could not be exerted so as to cause that citizenship to lose its dependent character and dominate State citizenship, the court pointed out that the power to raise armies, by the very terms of the Constitution, being delegated, is supreme. To the further conten- tion that such power of Congress to raise armies was limited to calling for volunteers and could not include the power to exact enforced military duty by the citizen, the court replied that such a view challenged the existence of all power, " for a governmental power which has no sanction to it and which, therefore, can only be exorcised provided the citizen consents to this exertion is in no substantial sense a power." The power is neither repugnant to a free government nor in conflict with the guaranties of the Constitution as to indi- vidual liberty. Such power to impose military service on the citizenry was recognized and enforced in England before the Norman conquest. Throughout the course of English constitutional history the existence of this power was unquestioned, though it was long a matter of dispute as to whether it resided in the Crown or in Parliament. The power in question has lately been exer- cised by the English niilitary service act of January 27, 1916. In the American colonies before the separation from England, the right to enforce military service was unquestioned, as it was in the several States under the Articles of Confederation. It was obviously the intention of the framers of the Constitu- tion to take this power from the States and delegate it to Congress; in fact, the want of power in Congress to raise armies was one of the recognized necessities for the adoption of our Constitution. The constitutional power of ('ongress over the militia of the several States is much more limited, and the distinction between such power and the power of Congress to raise armies has been recognized throughout the history of the Nation. In the AVar of 1812, in the Mexican War, and in the earlier years of the Civil War, the State militia and volunteer forces were relied on by Con- gress in the creation of our armies; but by the act of March 3, 1803 (C. 75, 12 Stat. 731), every male citizen of the United States between the ages of 20 and 45 was made subject to be called by compulsory draft to service in the National Army at such time and in such numbers as the President in his discretion might find necessary, and under the power thus executed four separate drafts were made by the President and enforced during the years 1863 and 1864. The validity of such draft act was sustained in Kneedler v. Lane (45 Pa. St. 238) ; and a similar draft law enacted by the Confederate Congress pursuant to a clause in the Confederate Constitution identical with that of our own Constitution was upheld by the several courts of the seceding States. The force of the foregoing argument is strengthened by the fact that the fourteenth amendment, as has many times been pointed out, has broadened the national scope of the Government under the Constitution by causing citizen- ship of the United States to be paramount and dominant instead of being subordinate and derivative. Nor are any of the specific provisions of the act of May 18, 1917, repugnant to the Constitution. The contention that the act is void as a delegation of Federal powers to State officials because of some of its administrative features is wholly without merit; nor is the act void as vesting administrative officers with legislative discretion or with judicial MILITARY LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, 1915. 477 National Guard on April first, nineteen hundred and seventeen, or who have since said date entered the military service of the United States from any such State, Territory, District, or subdivision, either as members of the Regular Army or the National Guard.

Finally, the court points out that the contention that the thirteentli amendment is violated by the exaction by the Government from the citizen of the performance of his supreme and noble duty to contribute to the defense of his country in time of war is refuted by its mere statement.

(War Dept. Bull. 67, Nov. 30, 1917.) The confidential instructions issued by the War Department regarding con- scientious objectors related to their treatment while they remained in camp subject to military control ; it was not intended thereby to give such men im- munity from punishment for an offense such as desertion.

If upon reopening the local board decides that the man should have been exempted, it will so notify the adjutant general, who will in turn notify the commanding officer at the mobilization camp. If a local board has, through error, sent a man to a mobilization camp pending his appeal, and he has been inducted into the mili- tary service, and thereafter he presents a certificate of exemption from the dis- trict board, he may be discharged by the division commander. Other than above stated, a commanding officer or division commander has no authority to dis- charge a man on the ground that he should have been exempted by the local board. (War Dept. Bull. 72, Dec. 24, 1917.) • John Angelus, a citizen of Austria, claimed exemption before a local board on account of alienage and filed an affidavit in support thereof. The local board denied his claim, and the district board affirmed the action of the local board. Angelus brought a bill in equity to restrain the local board from certifying his name to the military authorities for military service. The district court dis- missed the bill for lack of jurisdiction, saying: " I think Congress had no intention that the courts should interfere with this drafting proposition. It is a military measure in time of war, and it would be most subversive of military control and the proper disposition of this extremely difficult new problem if the courts should interfere in this situation. If Con- gi-ess had intended that the courts should review the action of the local and district boards, it would have so provided, and unless an appellate court says to the contrary I am of the opinion that a district court of the United States should resolve any doubt in favor of the Government; any other view might tend seriously to embarrass the work of raising an army with its manifold diffi- culties and its tremendous detail. If those who believe they are entitled to exemption were able to apply to the courts, it would be a most disturbing situa- tion and directly contrary to my understanding of the intent of Congress. Con- gress intended this to be an executive measure, to be carried out by the execu- tive branch of the Government without interference of the courts." Upon appeal the circuit court of appeals affirmed the order of the district court, holding that under the power to raise and support armies Congress has 54208°— 18 31 482 MILITARY LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, 1915. 1652. Vacancies on local and district boards, -filling of. — Any vacancy in any such local board or district board shall be filled by the the right to raise armies by conscription, and that it did not by the terms of the act unconstitutionally delegate its powers to the President. As to the proper jurisdiction of the local and district boards, the court said : " But it is said that the act is unconstitutional in that it deprives the com- plainant of his liberty without due process of law, contrary to the fifth amend- ment of the Constitution, which declares that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. The Supreme Court has, however, held that a judicial trial does not prevail in every case. (Murray's Lessee v. Iloboken Land & Improvement Co., 18 How., 272. 280, 1855.) And in the United States v. Ju Toy (198 U. S., 2.53, 2G3, 1&05), the court, speaking through Mr. Justice Holmes respecting tht; Chinese exclusion act, under which the decision of the Department of Labor is final as to the exclusion, said : ' If for the purpose of argument we assume that the fifth amendment applies to him and tliat to deny entrance to a citizen is to deprive him of liberty, we neverthe- less are of the opinion that with regard to him due process of law does not require a judicial trial.' That the decision of the q\iestion whether a person of Chinese descent wfis born in the United States and therefore entitled to enter the country, or whether he was born in China and under the exclusion act not entitled to enter, may be intrusted to an executive oflicer, whose decision is final, and that it is due process of law, is established law. We see no reason why the same doctrine is not equally applicable to the case in hand. And we there- fore hold that the complainant is not deprived of due process of law by being compelled to submit to the final decision of the local and district boards the question whether he is a subject of Austria-Hungary and whether he has not de- clared his intention to become a citizen of the United States. " If the complainant is, as he alleges, a subject of Austria-Hungary and has never declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States, as he also alleges, it is iierfectly clear that he is not subject to the draft. Whether his allegations in this respect are true must, however, be determined in the manner prescribed by the act. " It appears from the allegations of the complaint that the complainant filed an affidavit claiming exemption by reason of the fact that he was an alien and that the local board denied his application and that he appeak;d to district board, which affirmed the local board. It thus appears that the complainant was heard, and it is nowhere alleged that he was denied a full hearing or that the board rejected or refused to consider any evidence that he was entitled to present. In the absence of such a showing we have no doubt that the decision of the board is final and can not be interfered with by the courts. *' We do not, however, agree with the statement of the district judge hereto- fore quoted that there can be not interference of the courts in the action of these boards. W^e think a decision of the boards is final only where the board has proceeded in due form and where the party involved is given a fair oppor- tunity to be heard and to present his evidence. But if an opportunity to be heard should be denied, there can be no doubt as to the right of the aggrieved party to come into the courts for the protection of his rights. And \\'e do not believe that the district judge meant to say that a decision must be regarded as final under such circumstances. " The law courts have a general superintending control by certiorari over all inferior tribunals acting in a judicial or quasi-judicial character. And jurisdic- tion is not entirely taken away by the words of a statute which declares that the judgment of the inferior tribunal shall be final. **♦♦»♦* " There can be no doubt, therefore, that under the conscription act, where a board has denied a full and fair hearing to an individual claiming exemption from military service,' he might, if restrained of his liberty, sue out a writ of habeas corpus and obtain his liberty. "But whatever remedy the complainant may have or not have there can be no doubt that he is not entitled to the relief he asks in his bill of com- plaint. * ♦ * " While disagreeing, therefore, with the opinion expressed by the district judge that the courts can not interfere with the action of the boards and MILITARY LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, 1915. 483 President, and any member of any such local board or district board may be removed and another appointed in his place by the President, whenever he considers that the interest of the nation demands it.

Murray decidetl Febi-uary 14, 1918, by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eighth Cii'cuit, the appellant, a citizen of the United States of draft age, had duly registered under the selective-draft act (40 Stat. 76), and had claimed exemption on the gi"ound that he was a mem- ber of a religious sect whose creed forbade its members to participate in war. Such cl-iim was, however, rejected by the local board, and he was duly notified to report for transportation to a military encampment of tlie United States. He refused to appear in response to the notice given him, whereupon, by the direction of the board he was arrested and turned over to the respondent, tlie commandant of Jefferson Barracks, as a deserter from the Army of the United States, to be tried by court-martial. The appellant sued out a writ of habeas corpus, and to a return stating the foregoing facts, he filed a reply, denying that he deserted the military service of the United States, as he ^vas never in such service, never having taken the oath as a soldier. The hearing was had oa the pleadings, whereupon the writ was discharged and the appellant re- manded to the cus^dy of the respondent From this judgment the appellant appealed. The court, Hook and Smith, circuit judges, and Trieber, district judge, affirmed the judgment below. The opinion, delivered by Trieber, J., dis- cussed tlie following points: (1) The constitutionality of the selective-draft act and the regulations thereunder was upheld by the Supreme Court in Arver v. United States, 245 U. S. 366. (2) Section 2 of the selective-draft act provides that a selected man is from the date of draft or acceptance subject to the laws and regulations governing the Regular Army, which of course includes the Articles of War. The second article of war (R. S. sec. 1342) enumerates as "persons subject to military law" (among others), "all other persons lawfully called, drafted, or ordered into, or to duty, or for training in, the said service [military service of the United States] from the dates they are required by the terms of the call, draft, or order to obey tlie same." Hence it is not necessary that a person drafted into the service of the United States should take the oath of office as a soldier in order to become subject to military law. (3) Appellant's claim that If he committed any offense, he can only be prosecuted in a civil court, and that therefore a court-martial is without jurisdiction is likewise un- tenable. Section 6 of the selective-draft act, making it a misdemeanor to violate any of the provisions of the act or the regulations made thereunder, expressly excepts those subject to military law. (4) Appellant's claim that he is a mem- ber of a religious sect whose creed forbids its members to participate in war can not be raised in a collateral proceeding like this. That was a question to be determined under the act of Congress, first by the local board and upon appeal by the district board,« and the adjudication of such boards, where the appellant has had a fair opportunity to be heard and to present his e^idence, is not subject to review by the courts.
