DISCHARGED MEN
TO GET MILEAGE

Washington.-Tho of soldiers
sailors and marines discharged from
service between November II, 1918
when the armistice went into effect
and February rs, 1918, may file claims
with the auditor of the war department
for one and one-half cents per mile
for travelling expenses from the place
OF discharge to their homes. This was
decided by Comptroller OF the Treas
ury Warwick, passing on a number of
questions involving discharged SOL
diers' travelling allowances.
Comptroller Warwick held that the
act of February rs. 1919, allowing five
cents a mile from the place Of dis
charge to the actual bona fide home or
residence of discharged man was
retroactive TO November II.
Men discharged between those dates
were allowed only 3h cents a mile,
however under IA former act.
The comptroller declined to estab-
lish any general rule by which the
military or naval authorities can de-
termine what constitutes the actual
bona lide home or residence Of a man.

In Justice To The Worker.

In connection with the Victory Lib
erty Loan II should be said that much
credit Is due TO the volunteer workers
which Includes all committeeman and
statesmen.
As is significd by the name the ser
vices OF these men were given free OF
cost Some OF them paid the expense
OF the trip 10 the country districts in
order that they might help put the
loan over. There was no compcnsa-
ion for such service, ms this, save the
gratitude from all who had any con-
nection with the sale OF bonds
Such work as was done in this cam
peign shows n true spirit OF patriot
ism and service. Some men rode for
miles In the rain and mud for the sake
OF their county and n desire TO serve.
Let no man have the idea that there
was any financial return 10 these men
who gave NO largely OF their services
10 this cause.
II is but an indication that they
are abreast OF the times in which
they live when the watchword OF the
nations Ia service.
To these who have thus served, we
their fellow citizens OF Lawrence CO.
owe n debt OF gratitude.
This article Is prompted by the fact
that some people think the workers
In these Liberty Loan campaigns are
paid for their services.

Germany will require approximately
