Forty youths, breadwinners of their families, who had been

here were disbanded by the military authorities, who have been
instructed to cease recruiting youths of this class as they
have since been exempted from the service.
The authorities, however, would not divulge the order
with a view to having a pretext for summoning such youths and
disbanding them after a short time on suitable consideration
being offered.
