There is absolutely no-; truth in this report, nor has any infor-; mation. come to the knowledge of thet' Recruiting Board to justify any porson. giving expression to such an opinion* The cinrulation of a statement of this kind is apt to bo most prejudicial to reand therefore I wish, as chairman of the board, to give it the fullest and widost refutation.
