ADDITIONAL PAY CLAIMS WILL DE SETTLED SOON

.- (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 Thousands of claims for additional pay by discharged soldiers whose records were complete at the time they were mustered out, may be settled speedily by the war department under a ruling today by the comptroller of the treasury to the effect that these claims are to be readjusted without passing through the usual complicated audit ing channels. The director of finance ' of the war department was authorized to adjust the claims when a contraction of the law is not involved and the soldier's right Is clearly defined. More than 8,000 of the claims, some of them four months delayed, are on file with the auditor of the war department, and many others are in the bands of the director of finance. Hundreds of complaints have been received from officers and men charging that pay or compensation for expenses was withheld unjustly. It was explained today that when a soldier is discharged, In some cases he is given only partial pay, owing to the absence of records showing the exact amount to which he Is entitled. Later these records become available, but the additional payment is not made until the voucher for part pay cashed by the soldier on his discharge is cleared through the auditor of the war department. This procedure often required three or four months, and during this time the soldier's final payment is held up. The comptroller's ruling today provides a short cut in the procedure by permitting the finance division of the war department to issue a supplemental statement to a soldier immediately. On this statement he can collect. The director of finance of the war department, in a letter made public today, explained the former problem as follows: "As a result of the intensive campaign in which the army has been engaged since the beginning of the war, thousands of wounded and other soldiers have returned from abroad without service records or other official papers on which proper payment to them should be based. These men have in many cases been discharged and final statements issued to them which covered travel pay or partial pay only. Many of them have pay due for months. This office is especially desirous of lending its aid in every way possible to hasten the payment of this clam of soldiers." He Got His Ride The prospective streetcar passen ger stood waiting at Twentieth and Main for a car to deposit him at are quartered Ninth and Main. He jingled his six cents in his pocket, and waited. Suddenly a small car, with all the earmarks of a jitney, skidded to a stop before him and a cheery voice said: "Jump in if you're going down town. It won't cost you a cent." The passenger's face displayed Incredulity, but his feet didn't hesitate. "Well, it isn't so strange," said the driver, grinning, as he shifted into high. "You see" he rounded a corner on two wheels "if I ran this car as a Jitney" a cosion with a street car narrowly was averted and a sharp swerve saved a dog ''and collected fares" a motor car from a cross street lust did get by "I couldn't eet any insurance" a teriffic bump made ! the passenger dent the top of the car ! with his head "if anything should happen." The driver pased and cut in ahead of a fire engine. The passenger gave an Inarticulate gasp. "Oh, this where you get out? Well we only went a block past. No, not a cent. You're welcome." '

In it are many old suits of armor, and horses with iron clod knights upon them. , "The German people tell me they wish no allied soldiers in Germany, but those of the Americans arc best liked. "Germaar truly Is a wonderful country, clean as a pin and well preserved quite different from the way they left poor Belgium and France.
