In a number of instances men sought ac- tion by enlisting overseas when they had little prospect of obtaining it with American organizations. Men who have been court-martial- ed as a result of such incidents have been required only to serve out their enlistments with the United States army. Officials said no promise of immunity was involved in the re quest to surrender, but it was prob- able that completion of enlistment would satisfy the government in mast cases.
