Herbert Dick Smith of the Lafayette Escadrille must quit the French air service and return to the United States to join the national army.

Smith registered by mail and his brother argued, but the board certified him for service at Yaphank, with a possible exception only by a ruling from Provost Marshal General Crowder.
