WILL ALLOW FAMILY CLAIMS
Class Heretofore Regarded as UnaL

S, Veterans Bureau.

Consideration of a class OF veterans
claims heretofore regarded as unau-
thorized will be permitted by the
United States Veterans bureau, ac-
cordlng to word received by the Amer
Lean Legion.
A new ruling provides that GLAZING
which were made for family allowance
after the veterans discharge from the
service can now be considered where
the person to whom 1t was desired to
make the allowance was subsequently
brought by law within the permitted
class of beneficiaries.
In the particular case submitted by
the Veterans bureau for decision, an
attempt was made by an enlisted man
to claim an allowance for his aunt,
who, he showed, was absolutely de-
pendent upon him for support. At that
time the claim was disallowed because
an aunt was not then, nor now, within
the permitted class Of family allow
ance beneficlaries. The aunt involved
In this case, however, stood In loco
PARENTS to the enlisted man.
Following the discharge of the en-
listed man from the service, the first
Sweet bin amended the war risk in
surance act by enlarging the permitted
class to whom allowances might be
made to include persons who have
stood In loco PARENTS to a member Of
the military or naval forces at any
time prior to his enlistment or induc-
ton for a period of not less than one
year" This amendment was made
retroactive in its force to October 8.
1917. The aunt In the case ruled upon
held such status.
In view of this retroactive provision
the comptroller general has ruled that
a regulation Of the Veterans bureau
requiring that application for family
allowance must have been made while
the enlisted man was still in the serv-
Ice to form a basis for a successful
claim does not apply where a subse-
quently enacted law has given rights
which could not have been claimed
while the enlisted man was In service.

merry a citizen of the United States,
Sir Henry Thornton, head Of the
great Canadian national railway sys-
TEN. shows his respect for American
World war fighters on every occasion.
When members Of the American
Legion in Canada gathered TO pay
tribute to the honored World war dead
Of the nation, Sir Henry was the prin-
eipal speaker, taking this opportunity
to demonstrate his regard for the
heroes Of the land Of his birth. The
event was attended not only by Amer
lean Legion members, but representa-
tives of nearly every allied nation.
One Of the best-known men In the
Dominion of Canada, Sir Henry is
heartily cooperating with the attempt
Of the American Legion to organize
the veterans of the United States now
In Canada into posts of the American
Legion. A recent reorganization of
the Legion In the Dominion has
caused the Inauguration of such a
campaign.

Ind, In 1871. His early education was
received at st. Paul's, Concord, N. H.,
and he later entered the University Of
Pennsylvania. Here he received a
degree from the civil engineering de-
partment of the school in 1894, and

company as a draughtsman. He held
various important positions with the
engineering department Of this COM
pany and In 1911 became general SUI
