interests inter-ests of the services will admit or the merits of each case justify the purpose being to extend all possible indulgence to meritorious meritor-ious men especially in cases where a discharge dis-charge would obviously be for the material benefit of the soldier So says late army order received at this post We expect that quite a number of enlisted en-listed men will purchase their discharge as it is well known that many can better themselves in civil life To all those contemplating I con-templating such we extend a word of cheer and most assuredly none have our best
