Secretary Baker said recently that the request for individual discharges would not be granted except in very rare cases. In letters to Secretaries Baker aad Daniels and Chief of Staff March Senator Simmons stated the case for constituents as follows: "I am receiving numerous letters from my constituents, from fathers and mothers, and former employers of soldiers and sailors, giving spe cial and forceful reasons why certain of these men should be discharged and returned to civil life immediate ly, now that the war has been brought to .a successful conclusion. "Many of the men whose dis charges are sought are men who oc cupied positions in civil life requir ing special equipment, such as bank cashiers and tellers, trained newspa per ment', school teachers, etc. Tt is urged, and with ; reasoa it seems to me, that the JiigheAt necessity ex- sthewar being over, for the im mediate return to civil life of cer tain of these men.
