A HUGE WORK
Much of Discharge Work Falls
to Finance Department.
Routine Work Is Handled by
Capt. VIM. Richie, JT.

(By Union Pacific Il. L. Press Bureau.)
(From Trench and Campo
The heaviest portion of the huge
work of discharging men at Funston
falls on the finance department of the
camp, fer which the discharge work
is in charge of Capt. William Richie,
jr. In addition to the routine closing
of service records, hundreds of diff
cult problems are presented for solu-
ton every day. one of the most novel
cases is that in which the men have
seen foreign service in England.
France. Italy or even Russia and have
incurred obligations or have been par
TALLY paid in the currency of those
countries.
AS the rates of exchange vary from
time to time the date of payment or
obligation due must be determined.
Then the amount in pounds. francs,
rubles or lire must be translated into
the American figures in accordance
with the rate of exchange in force at
that time. The whole thing presents
a task that keeps many experts busy.
In the final paying off of men in
the finance office of Capt. r. T.
Mary's the paymaster. has established
a record of 407 men in an hour. The
cantonment finance department as
whole is under Capt. c. J. Burson.
Two thousand men day can be
discharged from Camp Funston when
all portions of the big rehabilitation
organizations are running at capacity.
This means the closing of the mill
tary affairs of 1000 men by the Depot
Brigade battalion to which they are
attached on their arrival in camp. The
payroll on 1000 men with all of the
incid -ntal problems arising must be
finished and the railroad routes and
ticket rates figured on that number.
1t has not been found necessary to
operate at the capacity rate yet. The
$1,000 men so far discharged have
gone out at a rate of as high as 1900
per day only.
At prescn Mt in addition to casuals
from overseas and other camps and
the 10 per cent of the Tenth division.
there is a complete battalion of United
States guards in camp from the Rock
Island arsenal awaiting rehabilitation
and discharge.

felt it possible that he was being
charged with another mans crime and
might be entirely innocent, as his wife
believed. He resolved to ferret it out
at all costs and dismissed his visitor
with this assurance.
Arrived at the Inspectors office
about noon, he found him in earnest
discussion with Sir William Beaumont,
the Crown Advocate, regarding the
murder and its participants. Both
gentlemen were his personal friends
and. knowing his deep interest in the
case, they readily admitted him to
their circle. They went over the evil
dence together and it certa My looked

carried the silver scroll had confessed
probably to relieve themselves OF the
charge of the direct murder-to strik-

too human fallibiIity is to be consid-

From now on when the idea gets sys-
