OFFICERS TO QUIT
VETERMBUREAD
Secretary Weeks Issues
Order Withdrawing Four at
Once, Three February 1.
FORBES LAUDS SERVICE
Director Regrets Army Needs Call
for Discontinuance of
Duty.
• Secretary of War Weeks yesterday aft- j
rrnoon signed orders withdrawing j
from the Veterans’ Bureau all Regu
lar Army otlicers who have been de- j
tailed there in important administra- j
live positions.
Four of these officers will be re- j
lieved at once, while three others will |
bo transferred on February 1.
Secretary Weeks has let it be known j
that the only reason for withdrawing j
these officers is because their service
is needed in the War Department.
Those officers who will be relieved
immediately are: Lieut. Col. Roger
Brooke, chief of consultants; Lieut.
Col. Paul S. Halloran. in charge of j
the inspection section, medical di
vision: Maj. Raymond W. Bliss, as
sistant chief, hospital subdivision, all
three of whom arc medical officers,
and Maj. tleorge P. Ahern of the
employment service, rehabilitation
. division.
Three Remain to February 1.
At the request of Director Forbes
of the Veterans’ Bureau, three officers
. will remain until February I. They
arc Lieut. Col. R. I. Rees, infantry,
assistant director, in charge of re
habilitation; Lieut. Col. R. U. Pat
terson, Medical Corps, assistant di
rector, in charge of the medical divi
sion, and Maj. John G. Mac Donnell,
adjutant general’s office, who has
been liaison officer between the War
Department and Veterans' Bureau.
Director Forbes indicated it was
with great regret that he was obliged
to lose the Regular Army officers.
> He said he would like to have had
them stay.
The Regular Army officers, in the
opinion of Col. Forbes, constituted a
highly trained personnel, whose serv
ices had been invaluable to the Vet
erans’ Bureau.
At the War Department it was said 1
Secretary Weeks was anxious to bring |
hack to the War Department officers i
detailed elsewhere, because recent I
legislation by Congress had reduced
the commissioned personnel of the 1
Army by 1.003 officers and had de
moted $55 in rank.
Highest Service Rendered.
Director Forbes in a formal state
ment made public last night declared
that each of the regular Army officers j
•'who has served the disabled men while ;
in the employ of the bureau has rendered
the highest type of service.”
. "X personally made the request to
have these officers detailed to the bu
reau,’’ said Col. Forbes, “as I was in
need of their professional services, and
I unhesitatingly say that it will be a
difficult task to replace these experienced
officials without somewhat slowing up
the administration of the huge affairs
of the bureau.
”1 want to say that these men, who !
have unselfishly devoted their lives to
the government, have rendered disabled
men and the Veterans’ Bureau the
greatest possible service, and it is with
deep regret that I am forced to agree
to the return of many of these men to
their units.”
The Veterans’ Bureau, Director
Forbes said, now has 10,383 veterans
suffering from tuberculosis in hospitals;
5,536 disabled men suffering from gen
eral and surgical disabilities, and 8,961
men afflicted with nervous and mental
disabilities, making a total of nearly
35,000 veterans, for whom the bureau
is responsible.
1923 SHRINE COMMITTEE |
WILL EXPAND QUARTERS(
I
Increasing Activity Due to Con
vention Here in June Given
as Reason.
The 1923 Shrine Committee of
Almas Temple expects soon to oc
cupy the entire southern half of the
third floor of the Homer building,
in addition to the five rooms It now
occupies on the second floor. ; The
expansion is due to the increasing
activities of the committee.
The preliminary pledges made by
the members of Almas Temple are
being paid at a rate which Potentate
Leonard P. Steuart urges the mem
bership to keep up.
The potentate announces that
James C. Hoyle has been added to
the executive committee. Thomas E.
Jarrell, chairman of the finance com
mittee, has his plans perfected to
push the work of his organization
to its completion in the next few
■weeks, while Kllwood P. Morey,
chairman of the hotel and housing
>; committee, will begin shortly the
allotment of the 120 temples now
registered among the hotels of the
city. The listing of private homes
about the city then will begin.
