Soldiers are entitled TO a refund of
their money held out in payments for
liberty bonds, providing they want the
money and cannot continue payment
on bonds. Orders have been issued
that all they will have to do will be
to make satisfactory showing to the
Zone finance department and get their
money. But when it comes TO the "sat
isfaetory showing" the soldier is up
against it.. When invited to subscribe
for liberty bonds, he stepped up to
the counter, signed his name to the
quartermaster's form 3S, and after
that certain monthly payments were
held out. The quartermaster gave the
soldier no receipt and hence when he
is asked to furnish evidence that his
money has been held out, he has none.
The Home service section is doing a
lot Of corresponding to help the sol
diers who would like the money that
has been held out for the earlier is
sues of bonds. The instructions read
from Washington, in regard TO the sol.
dier getting his money back, "but
he must have sufficient evidence tO
Justify his action 1t seems the only
evidence the soldier has is where he
signed his name, and that is on file al
Washington.
