Washington.--Are army ana navy
officers entitled 20 mileage or travel
ing expenses while taking the physical
test required by regulations either a.
horseback, on a bicycle or afoot?
Captain Luclen Young. who is in
charge OF tho Mare Island navy yard
and who il noted in the naval regis
ter as having been advanced in grade
"for EN- 'nent and conspicuous con-
duct during the war with Spain"
maintains that they are. and he has
come forward IN behalf of himself
and his fellow officers with an earn
est and courageous demand that these
rights should be respected But the
stony hearted comptroller OF the
treasury in an opinion published to-
day, says, Nay, nay"
Captain Young is one Of the best
known officers Of the navy. When
It came time for him to take the tost

Perhaps an inclination towards en-
bonpoint helped him to reach this
decision. Anyway he claims that he

Besides pointing out that he made
the journey pursuant to department.
al orders, Captain Young suggests
that "If mileage be disallowed the
travel then was not in line of duty and
would involve still greater hardship,
that of deprivng me of the benefits
provided for In the pension and re-
tirement laws should serious acct
dent havc occurred during such
time"
The auditor OF the war department
turned down his claim and in pass
ing upon Captain Young's appeal the
comptroller of the treasury today
pointed out that he had selected his
own time, his own course, and made
his own arrangements for making his
90-mile ride. IF there had been a
race track in the vicinity and he could
have made his test there. in VIII Ch
case he would not have been going
to or stopping at any place and the
only business in which he was engas-
ed was making the test, he would
have complied with the order. and he
would also have complied with 1t II
