Men Discharged Before Feb. 28 May Claim Additional Mileage

It has been announced by Comptroller of the Treasury Warwick that all those in the service of the Army, Navy, or Marine Corps who were discharged from service between November 11, 1918, when the armistice went into effect, and February 28, 1919, may file claims with the Auditor of the War Department for one and one-half cents a mile additional for travel expenses from the place of discharge to their homes. Comptroller Warwick decided that the act of February 28, 1919, allowing a mileage of five cents was retroactive to November 11 as well. Men discharged between those dates were allowed only three and one-half cents a mile, under a former act, but are now entitled to the additional cent and a half per mile of travel.
