division of the Pacific in his annual report touches upon desertion in this wise The various methods resorted to to diminish desertion have not to any considerable extent done so He believes be-lieves however that we are approaching the solution of the problem and that the measures recently adopted are a step in tho right direction A party wrote the Army and Navy Journal asking if there is in existence any order by which a minor can demand his discharge after being sentenced tor desertion The I reply was No From this reply from an official organ it is evident that no man can take advantage of his own wrong pleading minority or as we call it the baby act to save him from suffering for an act committed We insert this paragraph para-graph for the information of those who may think otherwise as it is known that a minor enlisting is fraudulent and can get his discharge We give the retirement law for enlisted men as it in order just now owing to the fact that war service counts double That when an enlisted man has served as such thirty years in the United States army or marine corps either as a private or noncommissioned officer or both he shall by application to the President bo placed on the retired list hereby created with the rank held by him at the date of retirement and he shall receive thereafter seventyfive per centum of the pay and allowances al-lowances of the rank upon which he was retired Provided That said enlisted man had war service with the army in the field or in the navy or in the marine corps inactive in-active service either as volunteer or regular regu-lar during the war of the rebellion said war service shall bo computed as double time in computing the thirty years necessary neces-sary to entitle him to be retired This act was approved September 30 IS 0 The war department has not as yet decided as to what construction can be made on field service and of course in duo time ar order from headquarters of the army will bi forthcoming fully explaining tho act The garrison is now strewn with leaves dried and withered and our genial provost is kept on the jump to have the once verdant ver-dant foliage collected in heaps and consigned
