soldiers furloughed to go to their homes
before leaving for France was offered In
the House to-day by Representative
Mott On. ". Republican, The bill pro-
videe for furloughs at least once year
to each soldier stationed in training
camps in this country.
A statement issued BY the New York
member says
The main purpose OF the bill is TO
enable the men OF the National Army to
visit their homes free OF travelling en-
pense just before leaving for the other
side.
1T Is now the practice wherever pos
sble to grant such furloughs. but with
the wide distribution OF men the ex-
pense involved is often prohlbtive. The
Government now controls the railroads
and free transportation should be fur
nished. even il II involves expense to
the Government
"It is necessary oftentmes to make
these leaves of absence SO short it is n
great hardship on the men to pay their
expenses out OF their pay, which is
largely needed for the support OF their
families and for payments on Liberty
bonds the soldiers are taking so gen.
orally.
The nation is dealing so generously
! with its soldiers that II should not hesi-
| tate to enact this law, which in many
instances will give the soldiers an oppor-
tunity to pay a last farewell to their
| families"
