WILL ASSIST SOLDIERS IN GETTING TRAVEL PAY DUE.

Washington, D. C., May 29, 1919. The Republican, Rensselaer, Indiana. Gentlemen: A great many of our soldier boys, at the time they were discharged, received travel pay at only three and one-half cents per mile when, as a matter of fact, they were entitled to five cents per mile. This difference is now being paid under order of the war department, and I am informed a great many collecting agencies throughout the country are soliciting these claims. This money should be paid to each soldier entitled to receive it without any cost to him, and it is not necessary for him to pay anything for this service. • it will be a pleasure for me to provide those who are entitled to receive this money with the necessary blanks upon which to make proofs and when returned to me I will have them presented personally to the war department and expedite payment. I will esteem it a favor if you will give publicity to these facts. Yours truly, WILL R. WOOD.
