A bill providing for this, introduced in congress some.time ago by Rep- resentative Schuyler Merritt, was one of the horde of .private bills rushed through the senate in the small hcurn‘ | of Sunday morning. | On the sixth day of June, . 1918, while serving as a first lieutenant with the 26th infantry Keating was charged with delivering a small bag| containing some 3,600 francs. and | certain pay-roll data to the regi- mental supply officer at Chepoix, 12 kilometers back of the line. Before he had time to carfy the| money back, Lieut, Keating was sud- denly ordered to lead his platoon to the position of alert ‘to meet an un- expected enemy attack., He hid the bag, with other funds and personal property under the floor of his dug- out. On his return from the front line late that night, he discovered that some company property and a pa@k- age of money containing 2,100 francs | were missing. He immediately re- placed the . funds borrowing the| i money to do so. The captain of the company was killed shortly after, be- ment of the facts connected with the loss. The board of officers who inves- tigated the matter reported that it was of the opinion tnat Lieut, Keat- ing was guilty of an error in judge- ment of the method used to guard money in his care, but recommended that the amount. be refunded.

Keating had very little chance of properly assuming the responsibil- ity placed upon him when given the money by Capt. Hamel. “Under the stress of such circum- stances, Lieut.
