Supervisor's Status Defined—Deputy Attorney General Kun to-day gave an opinion to Superintendent of Public Printing and Binding Dong to the effect that there was no authority for pub lishing as a State document of the report bf the State supervisor of moth ers' pensions.

MARRIAGE NO BAR IF MEN HAVE MEANS [Continued From First l'agc] upon the government if the men are called into active service, "you are ad vised that the discharge of men solely because of the fact that they are mar ried or have families is not author ized." "When a man's means are ample for the support of his family in his ab sence or where his business can be so conducted in his absence as to af ford a means of support for his fam ily, discharge should not be granted," says the letter. "The object of dis charging men as provided in the cir cular letter is to avoid working a hard ship upon dependent mentors of their families and to obviate the necessity of payment of benefits to such members while the soldier is In federal service." Adjutant General Stewart to-day re ceived a letter from the Department of the Kast that the Secretary of War had directed that no more resignations of National Guard officers "be forwarded unless exceptionally good reasons are given." There have been a number of resig nations lately, but few more are likely to be approved.
