Regiment, National Guard of Illinois, during his last illness in the months of August, September, October, Nevember and December, 1918. It appears that the Board of Medical officers appointed by the Commander-in-Chief under section 11, article 16 of the Military.

No objection or defense being interposed on behalf of the State, the horn orable Attorney General having admitted liability of the State to the claimant herein, we accordingly award to the claimant the sum of four hundred and twenty-five dollars ($425.00).
