EXEMPTION OF DEPARTMENTAL EMPLOYEES 
‘FROM MILITARY SERVICE, 
The Secretary has considered fully the question of the exemption 
of departmental employees from military service. It has been decided that 
_the Department will recommend exemptions to local boards only in few and 
very exceptional cases. Of nine men in the Bureau whose names were pre-~ 
sented to the Secretary only one was approved for exemption, Any addi- 
tional very special cases will be presented to the Secretary for decisdon, 
but Bureau employees should be guided by the fact that in a very great 
majority of cases exemption cannot be secured through departmental recome= 
mendation. 
RECORDS OF EMPLOYEES ENTERING THE MILITARY SERVICE, 
A memorandum issued by the Secretary of Agriculture on August | 
31, requires with reference to every employee entering the military ser- 
vice,a statement showing the branch of service he has ontered suchas, 
for example, the Officers' Reserve Corps, National army by draft, the 
Army, Navy, or Marine Corps by enlistment, National Guard, or the Naval 
Militia. If an employee enters the service in quasi~military capacity, 
such as clerk, that fact should be stated. All agents are requested to 
submit the data required by the Secretary promptly when any of the men 
leave the service.
