ERRS 50 YEARS
IN ENL|STMENTS
Army's Practice Improper, -
Says Controller, in Case of
Disabled Men.

Re-enlistments in the United States
Army not in conformity with the
law have been permitted for a period
Of more than thirty years. according
to a decision by Controller Of the
Treasury W. w. Warwick. made pub
lie today. in which he holds that the
regulation allowing disabled men un-
dergoing treatment to re-enlist is not
proper.
The decision was given in reply to
a query from Secretary of War Baker.
asking If it was proper to pay the $50
re-enlistment bonus to men whose en-
listment expired while they were un-
dergoing treatment, and who were i'm
visions OF paragraph 86a Of the Army
regulations. This paragraph. the con-
troller points out. is identical with
one in the regulations Of 1895. which
was substantially the same as a rul-
ing made by the acting secretary of
war In 1890. 1t says in part:
Quotes From Rule.
Enlisted men of good character and
faithful service. who, at the expira-
tion of their terms are undergoing
treatment for injuries incurred or
disease contracted In the line of duty,
may be re-enlisted il they so elect !;
and IL the disability prove to be per-
manent they will subsequently be
discharged on certificate of dis
ability"
The controllers decision points out
that a section of the act Of March Is.
1902. required that recruits for the
Army must be effective and able
bodied men, and then continues:
1T thus appears that from 1902 until
the date Of the ruling of the actins

formIy held that one Of the aualtflea.
tions or requisites for enlistment or
re-enlistnnsnt In the Army IL that
the person enlisted or re-enlisted
must be an effective and ablebodied
person
0uestion IL Answered.
Your question is answered as fol-
lows:
Paragraph ss3. Army Regulations.
1917. Is not in conformity with exist
ing law. The law does not authorize
the re-enlistment OF q soldier who is
not in some degree an effective and
ablebodied man.
IF through q mistaken view Of the
law sDldier who is not an effective
and ablebodied man has been re.
enlisted on or after June 4, 1890, for
a period of three years, payment of
the $50 enlistment allowance should
be deferred until the time, il ever. he
becomes effective and ablebodied. If
the disability which existed at the
time OF such re-enlistment continues
until the date Of his discharge the
enlistment allowance is not payable"
