for various reasons have failed to appear for physical examination, failed to file questionnaires, etc. Down to July 1, 1918, the department had thus investigated 220,747 cases of this character and caused induction into military service of 23,439 men.
A curious personal quality attaches to the study of the
work of the American Protective League, which is perhaps
attributable to the fact that all the members were amateurs
only and altogether unpaid. No doubt, did space and formal
limitations permit, a very widespread comment on the
personal relations of the members of the League to the
League itself would be acceptable to many readers.
Within the limits available, however, a certain martial
severity and impersonality must be employed. None the
less, there ought to be some brief mention made of the work
of the National Directors after the establishment of the
Washington office. In this connection it is fitting that the
names of those men should be mentioned who labored so
earnestly and so well to make the work of A. P. L. of vital
importance in the winning of the war.
