Women Make a Business
OF Marrying Soldiers
To Get Insurance Moneu

Waco, Tex. Dec. 22.-No officers or
soldiers at Camp Macarthur VIII be
allowed to marry without permission
OF their regimental commander. This
order has been issued by Gen. Ham
in charge Of the camp.
The order vas issued following a
report from the war risk insurance
office OF the camp that women OF
questionable character were coming
to Waco and other camp towns with
the hope OF gaining insurance bene-
fits.
It IS reported that there IS strong
basis for the belief that women have
gone from one camp to another. marry
ing under different names. For each
husband they would receive SIS a
month allotment during his service
and II he was killed they would re-
sceive $3.50 monthly for go months
At the war risk insurance office It
was said that several soldiers have
asked recently II they would change
the name of the beneficiary and that
investigation showed they planned 70
marry women who have come there
recently.
