NAVAL OFFICERS FILE CLAIMS.
Money for Many of Them Is Not

Many naval officers have filed claims
with the auditor for the navy for
back pay and allowances, under
the provisions of the naval APP
preparation bill passed just before the
adjournment Of Congress. 1t is stated
at the auditors Office that all claims
for back pay and allowances dating
back three years or more must be re-
ported to Congress for appropriation
before they can be paid. That money
probably will not be available before
a year from July 1, 1913.
The naval appropriation bill provided
that pay and allowances to naval Of
ficers promoted to the next higher
grade would date from the date in their
commission instead of from date of
confirmation, and included promotions
back as far as March 3, 1899. The au-
diting Office. is passing upon these
claims in the order of their receipt.
The auditor says 1T will be some weeks
or even months before those for which
money is now available for payment

would be required.
