now il reads:
That homo rably discharged soldiers.

the lat war, either in the regular or VOL
unteer forces, dying subsequent to the
passage of this act. may bc buried in any

been a hospital nurse during the war and
the application was made on that ground.
Permission was refused by the President
on the ground that he had no option in the
| case, the law being definite.
The Army Nurses Association took up

Mrs. Clark became alarmed ut the fei-
