ALOE WRITES T0 JUDGE HIRKHA (Continue# from First Page.) a man the option of a jail sentence or enlistment in the Army. “Certainly this article as it appears in the paper must be an error, as you certainly, occupying the position that you 4o, eannot think so HNttle of the United States Army that you are will- ing to send criminals into it, or that you are not well aware of the fact that criminais are not eniisted in the Army. In this connection and for your future guidance and information I wish to re- spectfully call your attention to para- graph 3549 of Army Regulations which positively prohibits the enlistment of persons who may have been convicted of a felony or who! have been imprisoned under sentence ! of a court in a reformatory or jail or | penitentiary. “It seems to me a pitiful fact that the idea that No Refuge For Criminals. l anyone should harbor the Army is a place of vrefuge for those of oriminal tendencies. It is true that in some cases a man apply- ing for enlistment W1ll mislead the re- cruiting officer and make false repre< sentations by which he secures his ac- ceptance for the military service, but in each and every case these men are soon found out and immediately dis- charged from the Army with a dis- hoporable discharge. “The Army of the United States bas never been a refu for crimine als. It has always been and still is, a place where young men of good char- acter can serve their country and at the same time receive instruction which will prove of the utmost value upon their return to civil life. It can- not be emphasized too strongly that the Army is not a place for the de- praved and worthless. We welcome to our ranks men whose characters are such as to make them worthy as- sociates of the self respecting. To men of such character we offer a hearty welcome and opportunities for material and mental advancement which it is believed are surpassed by no institution in the country. ALFRED ALOE, “ldeut. Col.

Presi- dent Abram Buol was authorized to attend the meeting of the United States Chamber of Commerce to be held at Washington, January 27 and 28.
