It will not do, therefors, for the people who have suffered damages to put off action iudefinitely. The safer course is to write to the burcau of claims at once and huve their cases put in trim for an early settlement. The same may bosaid of pensiou claims. The nct of Juno 27, 1800, under which most of the pouding claims are being filed, doos not per- mit the payment of arrears.
