which must be fulfilled for the ex-
soldiers by the government. They are:
First, those of a physical nature; sec

desiing with industrial phases.
Heretofore these problems have been
delegated to three separate and dis
tinct organizations, the Public Health
Service for Medical Treatment, the
Bureau of War Risk for Financial Sup
port and the Board of Vocational Edu-
e cation for Industrial Rehabilitation.
The commissions findings will show
serious conditions with reference to
shortage of hospital facilities, espe-
cially as affecting tubercular and men

to illustrate the need for new hospitals,

been invited by Mr.. Dawes to sign

The legislation program of the Amer
lean Legion was outlined in detail to
President Harding recently by Gilbert
Bettman, of Cincinnati, chairman Of
the National Legislative Committee,
and John T. Taylor, ce-chairman.
The President was given complete in
formation concerning the Legion's pro-
gram in order that he might find in it
material having to do with soldier re-
lief work to incorporate in his mes
sage to Congress
The Legion officials told the Presi-
dent that they were to push the reintro-
duction of the Sweet bill, which calls
for a consolidation of government
agencies dealing with the disabled SOL
der. Legislation contained in the
Wason bill, STIMULATING for the cstab-

treatment of eX-service men, will be
advocated. The Wason bill suffered q
pocket veto in the last session of Con-
gress. Vocational education on more
extended plan is desired by the Legion
also.

Bergdoll Stays in Jail
Federal Court Denies Slacker's
Application for Habeas Corpus

Dispatches from Topeka, Kan, tell of
the failure of the effort by Erwin Berg
doll, one of the notorious Stacker
brothers of Philadelphia, to obtain his
release from the army disciplinary
barracks at Leavenworth. Federal
Judge Pollock denied Bergdoll's apph-
cation for writ of habeas corpus.
The courts decision, in effect, up
holds the draft act. 1t was the first
court decision on the particular phase
that indicted men be notified by mail,
and it is believed the ruling will affect
many cases held in allegiance.
Bergdoll's attorneys had contended
that the record did not show that Berg
doll ever received personal notice that
he had been drafted. They endeavored
to establish that he could not be de-
serter because he did not snow he had
been indicted into the army. The
judge held that the draft boards notice
was sufficient and that it was up to the
man drafted to receive his mail.
