THREE OR FOUR MONTHS
HELD REASONABLE DELAY
Controller Max es Ruling on Avail
ability of Army Trans
ports.

The greater part of Uncle Sans Ma
rines are home or on their way home
from expeditionary service, but it may
be well for Marine Corps officers who
like to have their families with them
to know that Controller General NC
Carl doesn't think three or four
months an unreasonable delay in 60
ing to a foreign station.
The dependents of officers in the
armed services travel to foreign sta
tons to join their fathers and hus-
bands on Government transports at re-
duced rates. Provisions are made for
transportation at commercial rates in
instances where transport is not
available.
Controller General McCarl's inter
probation Of the word available, SO far
as Army transports go, is that any
transport that sails in three or four
months is available. He so held in
a ruling based on a claim for trans
portation at commercial steamship rates.
The Navy Department estimates that
for the first time in many months more
than tWo-thirds of the United States
Marine Corps complement of 10000
officers and men are in the United
States or on their way home from
foreign service.
