Show Tin: wei.Uly Shr ilh'i'hlii Si'flrx In the past a compulsory allotment mjle by an. enlisted man to his wife and children varied according to his rank and pay. The amount was not fixed. The only limits were a minimum of $15.00 and a maximum of one-hathe mans pay. Between these two poles, the allotment depended upon the mans pay, the law specifying that he had to equal, if possible, the government allowance. This sliding scale arrangement wras changed by Insuran amendment to the War-Ris- k 1918. ance act effective July 1, Hereafter, allotments, as stated previously, are the same for all enlisted men rgardlss of rank or pay. In other words, a sergeant making rnuiiiM ir $43.00 a month, who under the old TIIE INLAND HUNTING CO. system would have been compelled to allot $21.00 to his wife and children W. r.

After July 1st, every enlisted man in 'the military or naval service, regard-'les- s of. rank or pay, must make the ' same compulsory alltoment to his wife nd children, $15.00 a month. To this allotment the government will add a monthly allowance ranging from $5,00 a month for a motherless child and 415.00 for a wife without children, up to a maximum of $50.00. , In addition, the enlisted man, if he desires government allowances for his dependent parent, grandparents, grandchildren, brothers and sisters, may make voluntary allotments to them,fixed by the new amendments at $5.00 a month, where allotment is made to a wife and children, and $13 .00 where no such allotment is made. Heretofore allotments were on a sliding scale and varied according to the soldier's pay or the numbers tmd personnel of his family. The new system, which was put into ffectwith the approval of the War and Navy departments, will simpli. fy the administration of allotments and allowances, both by the Bureau. of War-RisInsurance and in the field. Henceforth the Bureau of War-Ris- k Insurance "wilt handle onlyr two allotments of only two amounts, $15.00 ? F7T1 11 - vilie.
