In consequence the senate passed a bill to of amend the act now in force and give the soldier a better chance to recover mo from Uncle Sam. Senator Wadsworth o f" A said the present situation was "per M en.f-aIr moMrtn- feetly absurd" and read these para- M ýý graphs from a letter from the secre- to tary of war: The original act was nlatended to provide a simple and expeditious Da method of settling the claims of off- to cers and enlisted men for reimburse- wi ment for personal property lost. dam- si aged, or destroyed in the military la services of the United States through no fault of their own. However. a Ia series of decisions by the officials of the treasury department have placed such restrictions on the law as to preclude favorable consideration of a majority of the claims which have been filed. These decisions are briefly ti summarised as follows: The auditor has disallowed all claims for property lost by fire unless a claimants can certify that the loss occurred while the claimant was engaged in saving sovernment property. df The comptroller has ruled that "money" is not an article of property. The comptroller bhr. recently decided that property lost in France can not be considered as having been lost "In the field during campailgn," unless the claimant was actually in the battle line. This decision will affect prac tically all iosses of personal baggage nla the field other than that in course of transportatlon. h Senator Wadsworth said the committee on military affairs "'hoiled with lGdeatto," ad its purpose was to give the soldier a "square deal."
