Address: Room ~, News De-
partment, The Evening Star,
Washington, ID. G..

Q. I enlisted when I was 18 years
old and without by parents consent.
After j had served a year my mother
wrote to Washington and gave the
War Department my correct age.
Thereupon 1 was discharged on ac-
count of a fraudulent enlistment, but
my character rating was put down
as very good. Later I got back into
the service with my parents con-
sent and was honorably discharged.
Will the fact that was discharged
for a fraudulent enlistment prevent
me from receiving the benefits Of the
adjusted compensation act?-G. H. ].
A. You are entitled to the benefits
of adjusted compensation and should
file an application. You were sep
arated from the service under honor
able conditions. The department will
not penalize veterans for their de-
termination to serve during the
period of the war.
@. While in France serving in the
service of supply, / deserted my out
fit and ran away toward the front
I actually reached the advanced zone
and was finally assigned to a regi-
ment of the 42d Division, and con-
tinued to serve in that regiment un-
til my discharge. I understand, how
ever, that the Central Records Office
of the A. E. F.. carried me as a de-
serter. What effect will such circum-
stances have upon my claim for ad-
JuSted compensation?-J.J j. l..
A. If you were legally honorably
discharged from the service you are
issued confirming your personal
of compensation. II orders were
transfer Of yourself to combat unit
the War Department will, Of course,
allow your claim. There was some
general order published during the
war to the effect that a man was not
guilty Of desertion if he actually
reached the front and attached him.
self to fighting unit. There were
great number of men who did this
and l am sure that their acts were
all condoned. Under the recent ruI-
ing of the Attorney General you will
receive the benefits If your were
separated from the service under
honorable conditions, and certainly
you served honestly and couraEeously,
@. During the war I served honor
ably and my character rating was ex.
cellent when discharged from service,
After leaving the service was ar
rested and charged with being q
Stacker and evading the draft. 1
never was convicted upon this charge.
VIII I be entitled to adjusted COM
pensation under the circumstances
outlined?-H. l.. s.
A. II you were honorably sepa-
rated from the military service and
il the Government has never made
any effort or succeeded in proving that
you were a draft deserter or Stacker
you will receive the benefits of ad-
justed compensation upon proper ap-
plication therefor. File your applica-
tion and you do not need to mention
your arrest.

Villa Ready for
GOldstein's Crown
After Licking Taylor

New York. June 11-Pancho Nllia'
holder of the worlds f1yweight title
is ready to take his place in the ranks
of the bantamweights and contest
for the crown which now adorns the
brow OF Abe Goldstein. Villa demon
strated his prowess as a bantam
weight at the Nostrand A. c.. in
Brooklyn last night when he admin
istered a beating to Bud Taylor,
Terre Haute, Ind, crusher in spec
tacular 12-round encounter.
Villa left no doubt in the minds OF
the 10000 customers who saw him
perform against the boy who abrupt :
ly halted the late frankie Jerome's
ring career. that he is serious con-
tender for the 11S-pound title. HIS
speed and aggressiveness more than
offset Taylor's weight. reach and
height.
Villa gave the Terre Haute Crush
err a scientific boxing lesson. Taylor
famed the breeZes often with his
wild swinging arms and found the
fyweiSht king the most elusive tar
get he ever shot at. Villa weighed
ia IL, while Taylor was just under
the l1S-pound wire, scaling III Il.
The Filipino is getting too heavy
for the half pint class and ii is likely
that he will give up the 112-pound
division as soon as he establishes
himself in the bantamweight class.

FIRPO AND Wills
SET TO IS FAR
IN The 0FFING

Buenos Aires, June 11.-(By A. PD-
Doubt that the projected match be-
tween Luis Firpo, Argentine heavy
weight champion, and Harry Wills.
American negro. will be held is ex-
pressed in Argentine sport circles in
consequence of Wills mediocre show
ing against BARLEY Madden.
Previous postponement of the sign
ing of Firpo's contract with Tex Rick
ard was ascribed to the promoters
desire to await the outcome of the
Wills-Madden fight, and now Richard S
representative, Juan HONS, says he
will do nothing further until he hears
from his chief.
The proposed contract guarantees
Firpo S250,000. and Argentine sport
followers will be surprised if Richard
were willing to give this amount now
that Wills prestige as a championship
contender has diminished.
1t is thought the only match cap
able of producing a guarantee would
be a return bout between Firpo and
Jack Dempsey, and the formers friends
doubt whether he could be induced to
fight the champion this year.

Maine Fans Would
Like to See Foster.
Come Through Sat.

Portland. June 1.-THE players of
Maine track fans will follow Bob
Foster to the Harvard Stadium on
Saturday when he completes in the
Olympic tryouts. The tall slender
BoWdoin runner. who is the State
and New England intercollegiate
champion a $50 yards, is a favorite
not only with his own collegemates,
but with the roOters of rival inStitu
tons, who are sportsmen enough to
appreciate the Sameness and ability
of a manly opponent.
Fosters record on the cinder path
is almost unique. Before entering
Howdoin, the only running he had
done was when he ran family err
rands. John Magee. the Bowdoin
track coach, saw great, possibilities
in tho long limbed. clean living
youngster, and he went to work at
his speciality, which is moulding fin
ished performers out Of green ma
terill.
The veteran coach found an apt
pupil in the Manchester. Mass. lad,
and in three years competition, FOs-
ter has Vet to lose a race over the
half mile route. For two years he
has held the state and New England
intercollegiate championships. This
season he set a new State record of
l min. as Is sees. for the half, and
followed this up by defeating the best
field in years at the New Englands.
III was timed in 200 3-5 in bowling
gale that almost knocked the runners
down on the baclstretch.
In this race Foster was pitted
against the Four Boston College
stars, who has set up a worlds rec
ord in the Penn relay games. AS
Foster said himself: 1T was the
toughest race | ever had The head

was. all ready to quit" hs smiled,
but | knew the others were Just as
tired as | was" He kept on plug
sing and won a fighting finish.
In a tryout for Coach Magee al

Waters, the Harvard star, won the
National lntercollegiates in 1.55 "a
and he is picked by most experts as
the winner at Cambridge on Satur-
day next. But if the BOwdoin run
ner is on edge, he may give the loose
jointed Crimson runner the surprise
of his life. Foster has just beer
elected captain of next seasons Bow
dom track team. If he could make
the American Olympic team it would
be a browning achievement.
