Iy to Escape Hillary Duty
WASHINGTON. April 19.—
Men of military e who have
married since a state of War
existed against Germany, will
not escape their obligation of
military service, under a War
Department policy formally an-
nounced today. The department's
statement follows:
“The War Department an-
nounces that all men married
since the outbreak of war will be
treated upon the same basis as
unmarried men, insofar as their!
military obligations are concern-
to this announcement."
The department was maved to .
take thi action in order that all
men sh id understand exactly
what is contemplated in the on
anization of an army to fight
ennany. It was desired that
there should arise no question of
slackers upon the score of mar-
rlaces contracted since the out-
break of ”the war with the possi-
ble construction that the marriage
in any casewas heartened in order
that military duty might be
evaded. mum
