$50 BONUS FOR DISCHARGED
MEN EXPLAINED.

The Red Cross home service Sec
ton, Offices No. 2 Byrne Building, is
prepared to assist men in making
their claims.
The following are the salient pro-
visions of the law providing $50 gra-
tuity to officers and men discharged
from service since April s. 1917:
1t applies to all persons serving In
the military or naval forces of the
United States during the present war.
This is taken to cover the following:
Officers and enlisted men of the reg
ular army and navy; all men in the
services of the coast guard. coast geo.
detic survey, lighthouse service. who
have performed active duty with the
navy during the present war; army
field clerks, and members Of the army
nurse corps and navy nurse corps.
The sum is to be paid to all Of the
above persons who have resigned or
received honorable discharge since
April s, 1917, or who have. II re-
served. been placed on inactive duty.
1t will not be paid to the follow
ing: (a) Any man who had not re-
ported for duty at his station prior
to November IL, 1918; (b) men who
have already received one months
pay under the special provision of
section 9 Of the act Of May IS. 1917;
(c) men entitled to retired pay; (d)
the heirs of q man who has died or
may die before receiving the pay
ment.
All officers and men falling within
the scope of the act. discharged or re.
lieved subsequent to February "a,
1919, should receive the $50 gratuity
in connection with the settlement OF
final pay account.
It seems very desirable that all
men out of service should. when
sending their discharge papers to
Washington, retain competent evi
dence of the existence of the papers

Mr.. Livingston Farrand has been
appointed chairman of the National
Central Committee, which supersedes

message to all Red Cross workers,
stating that while the immediate
duty is to complete our war work,
after that definite peace program
will be presented. So that we are
not going to be obliged to go back
to our own individual more or less
selfish lives, but will still have an
opportunity to work together for the
common good.

TELLS REASONS
FOR DISSENTING
Gardner Explains His
Views on Railway
Valuation.

Commissioner W. Gwynn Gardiner
yesterday made public the reasons
for his dissenting opinion on the
valuation of s16.00o,ooO placed on
the properties of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company by
Col. Eutz and Commissioner BroWsn-
low. Commissioner Gardiner would
add about $1,000. 900 to the estimate
of mis- colleagues on the Public
Utilities Commission.
Commissioner Gardiner does not
hE a definite valuation of his own,
but concludes in a general way that
the properties. including the city
End suburban and Georgetown and
TrnIeytown lines, should be valued
at q mucn higher figure than that
set by the other Commi ssioners
He substantiates his conclusions
by quotations from decisions OF the
United States Supreme Court IN
valuation cases. He holds that
Congress could not legally author
iZe another body to condemn the
valuation it had previously set
The dissenting opinion OF the third
commissioner will probably become
the basis for an appeal from the
valuations set.
Commissioner Gardiner thus con-
CIudes his opinion: Il am convinced
that, IL the majority opinion is sus-
tained by the courts, ruin will result
TO these roads, whose value we are
endeavoring to ascertain. and at the
same time. result in a very serious
setback. il not lasting retardatiOn,
