Washington, June 1e.-Embarrassed
BY 4 shortage of regular army officers

give these men their commissions in

recruit instrustors. Should the num-
ber be insufficient, it was suggested
these candidates be commissioned and
assigned posts, while the class that
would ordinarii' graduate in 1918 be

SOLDIER CLAIMS

MANY TROOPS NOW ON THE LOWER
BORDER ARE AFFECTED BY
LATE DECISION.

WASHINGTON. ID. C., March 14-Army
officers and enlisted men serving in Texas
at the time of the hurricane in August of
last year will be disappointed in learning
that the accounting officers of the treasury
have taken the position that damages 10
personal property of soldiers a. n result
of the storm may not he paid out of public
funds under existing law. on the theory
that the hurricane was in the nature of a
general calamity and that the losses in
Cured were not due To any exigencies or
necessities Of the military service In
other words, the volume of damage
wrought and the aggregate of the
individual losses incurred place the claims
outside of the legal authority for their al
lowances.
Ii appears ia be held by the accounting
officers that If one person sustained losses
that were moderate bv virtue of the same
hurricane there would be authority Of law
for paying the claim for the damage. but
the extent of losses incurred seems 10 per
lllt another interpretation Of the law
Between 5000 and 5000 claims have been
filed with the war department on account
of the ravages Of the hurricane. the losses
representing personal belongings and serv-
ice property of officers and enlisted men at
Texas City and Galveston. The claims
also included losses sustained by families
Of officers and enlisted men. as well as
rcgimental and company property, most Of
which was wiped ont by the storm. The
total amount involved is about $3.50. 900,
which would require a special appropria-
tion. in behalf Of which the war department
already has made a recommendation to
congress. II will require special legislation
to authorize the auditors to allow the
claims.
