Militiaman Sues for Release as Court Hears Appeal
The War Department awaits the First District Massachusetts Court of Appeals ruling on Alfred P. Lowell of Troop B Massachusetts National Guard. Lowell argues the national defense act voids his muster into federal service under the Dick bill, potentially discharging about 6000 guardsmen on border duty if upheld. The District Court previously ruled the act repealed parts of the Dick bill, keeping some militia musters intact. The government contends the Dick bill militia remains and the act does not abolish the organized militia. A favorable Court of Appeals ruling is anticipated by the Army.
