GERMAN PRESIDENT, 70,
EMPLOYS NO PHYSICIAN
American Custom of Doctor for
Chief Executive Evokes
Only Smiles.
By the Associated Press.

BERLIN, February Pin spite of
his 73 years, President Won linden
burg scorns the suggestion that he
employ a personal physician. The
American custom by which a special
physician watches carefully over the
physical welfare of the Chief Execu
tive, accompanying him on his jour
neys, merely evokes smiles at the
pI esidontlal palace here.
I'VE do not even know whom the
President would summon if he We're
10 become ILL.," remarked one of his
secretaries.
The President underwent a thor
ough physical examination in April
1925. just after he announced he
would be a candidate for the presi-
dency. The examining doctor pro.
nounced him in excellent health. and
since then he had not bothered about
his health. He is not accompanied by
physician on his Journeys out of
Berlin.
President Won TIindenburg's recipe
for longevity is regularity and moder-
alton in everything.

that courses of instruction will be

According to a War Department
decision, reserve officers when as
signed to active duty for short speci-
fled periods each year for several
years are not entitled to cumulative
leave This point was brought before
the department in the case of Col.
Grant NJ Miles, Infantry Reserve,
who, under competent orders, was or
dered to active duty for Is days in
August, 1925, at Camp Custer, Mich,
and who was during this time granted
five days leave of absence. Col.
Miles prior service upon which this
question of cumulative leave was
based included Is days in 1923, Is
days in 1924 and 80 days in the
Spring of 1925.
The question brought up was
whether a reserve officer is entitled
to cumulative leave credits to be car
ried over from one active duty period
TO another within a four-year period.
In this case, it was held that Col.
Miles was entitled to no more than
one days leave of absence with full
pay and for the remainder of his
leave he was entitled to only half
pay.
