dispute.

yidng that the states should be paid
the amounts advanced by the states TO
the soldiers, but the war department
gave the state only Sl3 IA month for
each soldier. We DO not think the war
department ruling is correct. and
what we have to consider is whether
the matter shall hc carried TO the treas

THE statute also provides that the
states shall Ice paid for cquippinS the
