New Pension Plan For
British Army Issued
BY ASSocinted PrckS

London, Feb. 2S. - An order in
council establishing a new pension
plan for the British army was issued
to-day. Under it privates totally dis
abled will receive a minimum of q
shillings six pence weekly. If this
sum is insufficient to enable the SOL
dier to live approximately up to his
fore-the-war standard he will be
given an alternative pension based on
his earnings previous to the war. No
single pension, however, shall be in
excess of rs shillings weekly.
The allowance for children is five
shillings for the first child and a sum
slightly less for each subsequent child.
A soldier not totally disabled will
receive a pension based on the de-
gree to which his disablement affects
his earning powers. Widows Will re-
ceive half the sum to which their hus-
bands were entitled if totally disabled.
A disabled soldier requiring the SER
vices of an attendant is allowed fees
up to one pound a week for such SER
vices. Widows will be granted special
funds for the expenses of training to
enable them to earn their own living.
The actuary's report accompanying
the plan estimates the expense for the
first year at 25,0OO,0 900 pounds sterl-
ing which thereafter will decrease an
nually.
