POSTAL SAVINGS BANK CHANGE
DepOsitors in Great Britain VIII BE
Allowed Greater Privileges
in Future.

LONDON, July 23-(Special Cablegram to
The Bee.)-The new regulation of the Post
office Savings bank simplifying withdraw
ais is being watched with great interest In
economic circles. Up to the present time
there has been no rush" for Immediate
calls This regulation allows postofice
savings bank depositors to withdraw from
their accounts on any one day sum not
exceeding IS at any one postofice provided
the postmaster is satisfied as to the genu-
ineness OF the withdrawal
One OF the leading officials of the post
office savings bank department in an inter-
view thus explained the situation:
great many of the people we especially
Wlshed to reach, SUCH as the working
classes, would have nothing to do with us
up TO now. Their reason was that to with
draw their money they had to I'LL up forms
and conform TO certain regulations which
tive.
We do not anticipate to any great extent
the amount obtained would be so small that
II would not be worth the risk.
stranger presenting a book belonging
to someone else would in the majority Of
cases be detected.
TO certain extent thrift will be encour-
aged Under the old regime depositor
generally drew out more money than he
wanted and he was inclined to spend the
surplus. Now he viii draw as near the
amount he wants as he can. Before he had
to wait 30 many days or go through a GER
tain procedure-if he required money at
once-which cost him far more than the
interest OF his money amounted to.
On the question OF possible fraud with
lost books the oficial said that while the
chances would not be large, because not
even thief would care to run a risk OF a
long term OF imprisonment for IS, which
was the limit of the withdrawal, neverthe-
less the depositors should take as good
care of the books as possible in view of the
! possibilities OF the new situations which
might develop.

NTcHENER,s WORK EoR ARMY
Conmman mander-in-Chief Takes Personal
Interest In Welfare Of the
Indian Soldier.

CALCUTTA. July 8.-(special Csblegram
The Bee.)-The manner In which LORD
itchener has interes ed himself in the
ants and the idiosyncracies Of the native
ol1iers has been little understood at home,
nd a few details on this subject will in
crest those who are not acquainted with
he facts One OF the greatest grievances
)f the native soldier for a long time past
has been the question of kit money. The
native soldier receives certain free issues
of clothing periodically. and has to provide
himself with the rest OF his kt-namey
great coat, boots. khaki suits, pagris,
haversack water bottle blankets, beddins,
underelOthing, etc Toward these expenses
the government has hitherto contributed a
small sum on enlistment and annually
thereafter. These amounts were totally
inadequate and Lord Kitchener has sue
ceeded in raising tie amount He is en-
dsavoring to increase this amount and
hopes to arrange matters 50 that the ma
tive soldier will receive free kit and
legitimate grievance will be redressed
The clothing regulations are also in course
Of alteration for the benefit of the men.
Most OF the work of the army is done
In khaki and the cloth uniform is seldom
worn. The men draw cloth clothing under
the regulation more often than they really
require H., and there results loss to the
state without corresponding gain to the
men, Lord Kitchener has therefore pro-
posed that a sum representing the annual
value of the clothing now supplied shall
be credited to the soldier. and that he
shall in the future buy his cloth clothing
from the clothing factory only when 1t Is
required. careful man will make his
suit last for several years
Two other important concessions to the
soldier, due to the personal appeal of the
commander-in-chief in India, may also be
given as examples of the attention de-
voted to the native troops. The lines of
India have permitted soldiers proceeding
home on leave to pay single fares for a
double ticket. Considerins the distances
bet1cen some regiments and their homes
this concession is important. II is addi-
tlonal to the permission granted to the
80 per cent OF men in each regiment 10
proceed home on furlough each year with
out cost TO them. The second concession
is due to the maharaja of Nepal, who. has
generously granted permission to all
Gurkha native officers whether serving OF
on pension, to occupy the same position
as the officers of his own army and to be
exempt for life from forced labor.
