Halpern v. Commanding Officer of National Army at Camp Upton
Halpern v. Commanding Officer of National Army at Camp Upton
Opinion of the Court
His discharge on habeas corpus must be denied, for the reason that the method by which he was taken into the; army was entirely lawful. The statute provides for discharge of those who should not be retained within the draft. Congress has also authority to legislate for their discharge; but, so long as they are part of the drafted army, they are subject to its laws and regulations and cannot be discharged by a court.
The writ will be dismissed, and the relator remanded.
