As soon as the passage of this act
as disbursing officers could be in
formed in regard to its provisions, al
l0wances Of travel pay were made to
men on discharge in accordance with
its provisions.
The Director of Finance of the War
Department had some doubts. how
ever. as TO the proper Interpretation
Of the provisions of the Act Of Feb.
2S. 1919, as applied to men discharged
after May II, 1918, and before the De-
partment began making allowances at
the rate of five cents per mile in ac-
cOrdance with the law. Applications
for payment Of the difference between
the former travel allowance of three
and one half cents per mile and the
new allowance of five cents per mile
were therefore for time denied pend
ing = decision by the Comptroller Of
the Treasury.
This decision has now been rendered
and under it all men discharged from
tie service since Nov. II, 1918, who
received travel pay at the rate Of 3h
cents per miles are entitled to q fur
ther payment of travel pay at the
rate Of 4 cents per mile. which can
be secured by presenting the soldiers
discharge, or certified copy certified
by nearest recruiting officer, at the
War Department.
TO AID THESE, any soldier or
sailor in my district desiring to pre-
sent such claim may secure the
necessary blanks at the office Of the

gether with his discharge papers, to
