-FABLEs ON HEALTH--- KEEP SKIN HEALTHY

Affairs Of Soldier Complicated
by DishonorabIe Discharge
on First Enlistment

The case Of Bryan j. Roberts,
which has been a thorn in the side
Of the Veterans Bureau since last
winter, when Roberts came to
Washington to adjust his claim,
moved swiftly toward a definite
settlement today.
The name of Roberts echoed
through each of the eleven floors
OF the Arlington building, where
the bureau is housed, and re-
echoed through the adjutant gen.
erals office and the office Of
Comptroller General J. r. McCarl.
Case Is Unique.
The case is unique. Roberts
enlisted in the army at the age
Of fifteen, with his mothers per-
mission. According to War De.
partment records. he deserted. In
1918, he re-enlisted and served
honorably for the remainder OF
the war. receiving an honorable
discharge. 4
During the early days Of his
second enlistment, Roberts in
formed the authorities OF the cir
cumstances of his first period Of
service, and orders came from
Washington to hold him to the
second enlistment.
In April, 1924, while the case
was being adjudicated by the Vet
Grams Bureaeu, an undesirable
It was signed by Colonel
Bridges, acting for the Adjutant
General. Roberts contends that
the authority for signing dis
charges cannot be deputized to
a lower officer. The discharge
was given for the first desertion,
but the Veterans Bureau, when
making inquiry Of the Adjutant
Generals office, was informed that
the records showed Roberts dis.
charged for desertion, without
reference to his second enlistment.
The Veterans Bureau moved
ahead with the medical angle of
Roberts case. He was suffering
from nervous trouble, incurred by
war service. He was recommended
for disability compensation. At the
same time. the legal division Of the
bureau was seeking q way out Of
the legal tangle which enmeshed
the case.
May Reverse Decision
The comptroller general ruled, in
February Of this year. that a de-
sertion debarred a veteran from
insurance, compensation or benefits
in any form, without regard to his
prior or subsequent service. Eff.
forts are being made today to make
Comptroller General McCarl re-
verse his decision.
Today, also, the records pertain
Ing to Roberts, on file at the adju-
tant generals office, are to be veri-
fled.
The Veterans Bureau claims Il Is
doing everything In its power to
expedite the case. but the diff
ferences Of authority md the maze
Of legal technicalities are worri-
some. The result Of Roberts long

within the next few days, 1t is ex-
