Local Board Announces Rule
Providing For Mems
Families
ENABLES MORE MEN
TO ENTER SERVICE
Soldier Required To Pay Part
And Government
Contributes

Announcement was made by the To-.
cal draft beard Saturday that it is
taking into consideration the govern.
ments allowance for the support of
soldiers dependents in passing upon
claims for deferred classification
made for that reason.
Chairman Ewalt of the local board
said, There never was a government
in all history that made such liberal
allowances for persons dependent up
on its fighting men, and while this is
the case our experience shows that
many persons are uninformed of the
measure recently passed.
An instance occurred today where
a young man presented claim for
deferred classification owing to the
fact that he had dependent parents.
Upon being advised that if he We're Il
soldier the government would require
him to send $15 of his pay to his par
ents each month and in addition
once said he was willing to enter the
army under such circumstances.
Briefly the government provides for
soldiers dependents as follows: Be.
sides the soldiers pay, the minimum
of which is S33 the month and OF
which he is required to send home
$15 for his dependents the govern.
ment will make the following allow.
ances each month; If there be wife
but no child, SO, wife and one child
S25, wife and two children, $32. 30
'ditional child.
Where there is no wife, but one
child the allowance is So the month
for two children, $3.50, for three 500
four $50 and So additional for each
other child.
In the case of man or woman, tt
a grandchild, parent, brother or sister
if there be one parent the allowance
is $40, both parents. $50, for each
brother or sister or grandchild the al
lOwance is So additional.
In addition to these provisions fol
dependents, soldiers may carry life in
surance up to $4,000 in amount at 9
very low cost, making it payable tt
their dependents in case of death
These insurance policies also provide
for monthly allowances in case of dis
ability or injury incurred in the line
OF duty.
The members of the local board are
of the opinion that if registrants are
familiar with these provisions fol
their dependents the claims for defer
red classification will be appreciabll
reduced.

Describing one such arrival of the
Emperors train the correspondent
says: "All workmen, on this occasion,
whether Belgian or German were dis
patched outside, and access to the sta
ton was forbidden. This applied to
all passengers as well The military
guards occupying pc It's of the station

their posts and pile their arms. The
only persons allowed on the platform
were the stationmaster, his employ as
appointed to work the signals, and
the military chief. There was no guard
of honor, no manifestation whatever.
"This clearing of the station takes
place at every station through which
the train passes, which it does at the
maximum regulation speed. At Brus-
sells detrainment took place opposite
the Place Rogier, which is a military
post since the occupation.
THE space in front of the station,
which is always forbidden ground to
passengers, was occupied by several
motor cars. AS soon as the Emperor
entered his car the small fleet ran
swiftly to the Pare Rue Royals, where
the Kaiser stayed several hours.
During the presence of the Kaiser

nervousness in fear of anything talk
