Soldiers Deposited Over $60e,00o
Last Year.
II WILL BE MUCH INCREASED
This Tendency Encouraged by the
War Department.
A GREAT BOON TO THE BOYS

1t is not well known, perhaps. that
Uncle Sam is paying higher rate Of inter-
est to his soldier boys than on the last bond
what this interest amounted the past year?
Almost fifty thousand dollars!
This interest-four per CENTS paid on
deposits, and only to enlisted men. Off
GERS with straps are excluded. Any SOL
der not retired may deposit his savings
with any paymaster in sums not less than
%. This he may do at any time, but once
depositfng 1t must remain until expiration
of his enlistment discharge. Each de-
positor is furnished a book. in which each
deposit, with the name of depositor, date,
place and amount, in form of a certificate
Is entered at time Of deposit, and signed
by the paymaster and company command
er. Company commanders are required to
keep record Of every deposit. and on
same day deposit is made must report the
same to the office Of the paymaster gen
eral. Washington. The paymaster each
month sends to the same office an abstract
or deposits. where comparisons are made
and discrepancies corrected
The privilege of deposting has proven
veritable boon to the soldier boys. for 1t
not only provides admirable means of
security for their surplus money but is
profitable. Besides. it encourages them to
Over Half n Million.
During the past year the record of de-
posting has been remarkable. but 1t is
plain that high water mark has been far
from reached. For the fiscal year ending
June 30 over half million dollars was de-
posted by the troops at Manila alone This
amount has astonshed the War Depart
men. Indeed. with the increase of the
army, this feature of soldiers deposits has
caused the department to open Its eyes in
wonder, for the great record of last year
promises to be vastly eclipsed. Expecta-
lions for Manila alone run as high as a
million and half. which will mean $50, 900
lnterest-and many expect the amount of
deposits there to reach nearly two million.
One reason for this anticipated increase
is that there are more soldiers of the de-
posting class than last year. That is there
are more regulars And even the new
volunteers may almost be included in the
same category, for they realize that they
are in for al least two years, while the
volunteers last year knew their term of
service would be brief, consequently had
no desire or incentive to deposit. For this
reason the deposits almost exclu-
sively confined to regulars" Therefore,
under the status, 1t is not difficult to
perceive that the amount of deposits will
increase to a great degree. In some COM
panies half the members are now de-
posting, and it is believed the fever will
spread. at least in the Philippines and other
distant possessions. until in the near future
almost every member will be a depositor.
The benefit of this to the soldier can read
lily be seen. but it means heap of interest.
Yet there will hardly be any complaints on
