Freed to Join the Army.

Hutchinson, Kan. —Eight inmates of the state reformatory here were granted their final discharges recently by the state board of corrections in order that they might enlist in the National Guard and regular army for service in Mexico. All are boys who were on parole already or would soon have been eligible for parole. Two of the discharges were granted directly by Governor Capper.
