From War Preparedness Board

Lansing, Mich, May l2.-Through
the new War Preparedness act passed
by the Michigan legislature at the ses-
sion just closed, provision has been
made for caring for the dependents of
soldiers and sailors who enlist from this
state for Federal service.
This act makes available any neces-
sary part of the 100000 fund which
is being administered by the War Pre-
paredness Board, and the board insists
that it be made clear that the payment
to dependents is not charity. 1t is, in
stead, part of the wages of the man who
has volunteered to defend his country.
1t is his right and due, and goes to his
family, not as gift, but as the states
part of his compensation.
ave are going to strip the admins
tration of this fund of its unessentials, -
said Auditor General Fuller, in discuss
ing it recently. "rhe state already has
the machinery in its probate courts, for
collecting the information which we
must have in proving the indemnity of
dependents. The dependent simply
satisfies the probate judge of his or her
county, that he or she is the person en-
titled to participate in the fund, sends
the statement on to us and the relief is
Immediately forthcoming.
1.-THE heartbreaking feature of relief
measures in the past has been the de-
lays in payment and the vexatious for
malities to be observed We intend
mailing the checks twice amOnth with
out a moments aYoidable delay, and
we also propose to cut out every for
mality that can be spared. The Red
Cross which has volunteered its SER
vices, will doubtless be Of great assis-
lance in collecting, quietly and etfic-
iently, the needed data.
application blanks will be put in
the hands of every soldier and sailor
leaving the state hereafter; in the hands
