ALLOWANCES AND ALL0TMENTs.
The Difference Is Described By the Com,
mittee of Public Safety.

Under the war risk insurance act, the
government makes generous provision
for needy and dependent families of sol.
diers and sailors during the war, Such
provision is called an allowance. 1t is
limited to wife, children, grandchildren,
parents, brothers and sisters. 1t is fur
Their and most Importantly limited to
those grandchildren, parents, brothers
and sisters who are dependent on the
men in service.
There are various other limitations
for which reference should be made to
the text of the law. The distinction
from allotments must also be kept clear
" in mind. Allotments are taken out
u mans pay for the benefit Of wife
or relative; they do not affect the total
amount paid by the government, but
only its distribution. If an allotment
is improperly paid its adjustment is a
matter concerning the seective and his
family. Allowances, on the other hand,
increase the sum payable by the gov
eminent, and if improperly paid their
adjustment concerns every taxpayer and
every citizen of the United States.
An allowance is q gratuity. No one
except a wife or child should accept it
who does not absolutely need it. The
illegal receipt of an allowance is fraud
on the government and an acceptance
of charity from the community
Procedure for local councils in report
ing alleged unwarTanted recipients of
alotments and allowances:
l. Always send report directly to the
Vermont committee Of public safety.
2. Typewrite report whenever posi-
BILE.
3. Always give the following infor-ma
ton in full:
a. Name and address of recipient.
b. Name, rank and organization of
soldier or sailor.
g. Name, address and reputation in
the community or informant.
d. The nature of the alleged vio-
lation of the war risk insurance
law and the alleged facts of the
case
e. The name and postoffice address
Of your local committee.
a. Take every precaution to prevent
any intimation from getting abroad that
the case is being thus reported in order
that no possible injustice may be done
through false report
5. Never make an investigation on
your own initiative. The bureau of war
risk insurance has its trusted special
agents in each community, who will per
form this delicate task. We must not
make our fighters feel that they can
not make allotments to their dependen.
cies without subjecting them to the
ignominy of suspicion and investiga-
ton
6. Be sure that every trusted mem,
Der of your organization who is in a
position to receive information from
these cases, is instructed to report to
you, and is informed Of the precautions
to be taken, ...

yet mild cathartic, are especially good
