to their homes, can obtain the eK
ira cent and a half authorized by
Congress by sending their discharges
accompanied by an affidavit on Gov
eminent form to Zone Finance OFF,
Ger, Travel Allowance Division,
Lemon Building.
Positively no claims will be paid
in person on account of the "class
rush" for the bonuses at the Zone
Finance Office several months ago,
according to Col. X. ". Walker, as
ststant to the Director of Finance, in
charge of this work
A form of affidavit, which must
be completely filled out, can be OBJ
tanned from the Zone Finance Of

may be obtained from all recruiting

Scent Fare in Some Cases.
Under the decision of the ComptrOl-
Ter of the Treasury recently issued
not only is the full cents a mile
from place of discharge to homes or
places of enlistment due the men. but
men who were paid mileage from
points of discharge to places Of en-
listment or induction can claim 5
cents a mile additional for the dis
lance such place was less than to
their residence as shown on service
record.
In other words If you were paid
3 II cents a mile from Atlanta to

you can collect an extra cent and a
half from Atlanta to Washington and

New York.

Ger must in all cases be accompanied
by an affidavit filled out on a yellow
form furnished by the War Depart
ment and forwarded to the Zone FL

Six Months to Make Payments.
Colonel Walker estimates that it
will take at least six months to com
plete all payments and that his force
will not be organized sufficiently to
begin this new work inside of two
weeks. On account Of the more com
plicated work involved it will take
considerably longer to pay than it
did the bonuses.
Major W. R. Gerow is in direct
charge Of the force and is at pres
ent engaged in trainig a number Of
girls in the quick figuring of mileage

templated for this work.

out that the organization in its three
years of existence had defeated the
proposal for longer hours; had Sc
cured salary increases which have adj
