Incidents of men stretching the truth consider ably to get Into the British army when England needed every man and then resorting virtually to mu tiny to get out after; the armistice was signed have' been shown at Folkestone during Investigation of the first demobilization demonstra tions there. After several hundred men had declined to embark for France at the end of their Christmas leave the military authorities began Investigating each case separately. One man who might be judged anywhere from 38 to 50 years ot age appeared before the examining offi cers. ' i "On what ground do you think you .should be released now?" he was asked. '"I'm more than 41 years of age," he said relying upon the rule that men of that age or more should he released as spon as possible. "But your army book shows you enlisted 15 months ago at the age of 35." "I gave that as my age to- get In, sir. I am 50 years old now." "You will have1 to prove that,;' came the quick reply, whereupon he turned to a middle aged woman spectator, his wife, who had antici pated the situation and produced n birth certificate. He will be re leased at once and the method by which he volunteered will ' be con veniently forgotten. During the last year of the war no miners were allowed to Join the army.
