The Bolsheviki then, in spite of

Prisoners captured by the Allied

—
| On the last mail the Local Board
under the selective sen-ice regula
tions, received intimation from the
governor’s office at Juneau that au
thorization has been made of the
i
payment of a bonus of $60 to all
soldiers who have been honorably
discharged from the United States
army, in terms of a certain section
of the revenue act. The payment
of the bonus also extends to field
clerks and nurses of the army, who
have honorably separated from ac
tive service by discharge, resigna
tion or otherwise, but apparently
does not include sailors or other
employes in the naval service of the
country.
The notice containing the an
nouncement and the instructions re
garding the bonus, states distinctly
that the bonus is not payable to
the heirs or representatives of any
deceased soldier.
The “Modus operandi” whereby
the bonus can be collected, is con
tained in the following notification
from the governor's office:
“Sixty dollar bonus to be paid to
soldiers discharged since April 6,
1917.
“Section 1406 of the Revenue
Act approved February 24, 1919.
authorizes the payment of a bonus
of $60 to officers, soldiers, field
clerks and nurses of the army upon
honorable separation from active
service by discharge, rsignation or
otherwise. This bonus is not pay
able to the heirs or representatives
of any deceased soldier.
Those who are discharged here
after will receive this bonus on the
same roil or voucher upon which
they are paid their final pay.
Those who have been discharged
and have received their final pay
witho -t the $60 bonus, should write
a let: . to the Zone Finance Officer,
Lemon Building, Washington, D.
C., stating their service since April
6, 1917, the date of last discharge
and their present address to which
they desire their bonus checks to
be sent and enclosing with this
letter their discharge certificate or
military order for discharge and
both, if both were issued.
“Upon the receipt by the Zone
Finance Officer, Washington, D. C.,
of this information and the soldier's
discharge certificate, this officer will
cause checks to be drawn and
mailed to the claimants in the order
in which their claims were received
by him. The discharge certificate
will be returned to the soldier with
the check.
“It is estimated that at least
one million and a quarter persons
have been discharged from the serv
ice who are entitled to the bene
fits of this act, and while payments
will be made as expeditiously as
practicable, it will manifestly take
considerable time to write and mail
this many checks.

ANCHORAGE BOY
WENT THRU WAR
WI1HOOT INJURY
Having participated in the des
perate struggle at Chateau-Thierry
and in all the other battles of the
Americans on the French front,
Donald E. Stewart, son of J. M.
Stewart, assistant railroad station
agent at Anchorage, is now with
the forces of occupation in Germany
and is showing the Teutonic people
“how civilized soldiers act when
they invade a country." His letter,
which is dated December 4 at Bith
burg, Germany, and which was
printed recently in the Alaska Rail
road Record, tells of the cordial
greeting and hospitable treatment
the United Staaes troops received on
their way through the city and
duchy of Luxemburg.
“After the war is harder work
than before it was finished," reads
the young soldier's letter, “but we
sure licked them and didn’t have
such a hard time doing it either.
“Our battalion has been pro
moted from the Headquarters Sig
nal troops of the first army corps
to the Headquarters Signal troops
of the third army, which is the
army of occupation, and considered
quite an honor. We traveled across
the grand duchy of Luxemburg for
about eight days, and I want to say
Luxemburg is the finest city I have
seen on the continent so far. We
were received with open arms and
hailed as the deliverers of Luxem
burg. The town was thrown open to
us. all the finest clubs held open
houses, there were entertainments
and dances for us and by the second
day we had ail the pretty girls do
ing the good old U. S. dances, just
like oldtimers.
“We were there at Thanksgiving
and the Luxembugers, having heard
about our holiday, each family in
vited one or more 'Yanks’ to dinner.
In the evening the counts and
countesses put on their glad rags
and we all went down to a dance
at the Casino, which is the largest
and finest club house in the country.
“But now I am in Germany and
a complete change has taken place
N'o more cheers and flowers. But we
are trying to show these people
how civilized soldiers act when they
invade a country, but when I think
of some of the sights I’ve seen I
feel like pulling my gun and shoot
ing up the country a bit.
“I am now living in an old Ger
man hospital (am not sick I in real
beds, real springs and real mat
tresses, for the first time in six
months, and believe me, it sure does
seem good. I expect to go deeper
into Germany, at least as far as
Coblenz. I was all through Chateau
Thierry and other American drives.
Have been in three campaigns and
am now a veteran. I came through
them all without a scratch, and I
expected to get a wound stripe at
least. I sure have had some excit
ing times, but I wouldn’t have
missed it for a million dollars I
hope before many months 1 will be
on my way home.”
Young Stewart is a first class
private in Campany C 322nd Field
Signal Battalion. He enlisted at
the beginning of America’s partici
pation in the war.
