EXPENSE ACCOUNT OF ARMY
 OFFICERS GETS SOLAR PLEXUS

Washington, Sept. 24-A sad blow to the travelling expense account of American military officers was deliv- cred, today, by George E. Downey, comptroller of the treasury, who de- cfded that army officers when travel ing without troops must pay for the transportation of their personal bag gage out of the seven cents mileage allowed by the government. The de- cision, applicable alike to army, navy, marine corps and revenue cutter ser vice. abolishes a long enjoyed privi- Iege. The only baggage the govern ment will pay for in future will be tents, clothing, utensils and other necessary military accoutrements.
