ALLOTMENT AND
ALLOWANCE CHECKS

There has been a change in the sys-
tenn of the Bureau of War Risk In
surance of the Treasury in the matter
of allotment and allowance checks
This results in some of the checks sent
out by the bureau will be included in
checks sent out from other sources.
The new system will simplify the
work of the bureau and is expected to
accelerate the payment of allotments
and allowances.
Prior to July last the War Risk In
surance Bureau took the compulsory
allotment of S15 a month and what
ever additional sum the enlisted man
chose to allot to his family, and the
whole amount, together with the Gov
eminent allowance for dependents was
included in one check and sent out by
the bureau. Beginning with the July
pay the bureau will collect and send
out only the compulsory allotment of
SIS month and the Government fam
lily allowance
The excess allotments over the COM
pulsory SIS allotment and the allot-
ments to persons not entitled by law
TO allowances will not be handled by
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance
but by the War or Navy Department
the Marine Corps, or Coast Guard, ac-
cording to the branch of service to
which the enlisted man belongs.

COMMISSIONS AWARDED
81 ENLISTED MEN
August %, 1918.
Annapolis, Nd,

Ninety-one enlisted men of the Mar
inc Corps received their commissions
as second lieutenants at the graduation
exercises of the Marine Corps officers
training camp at Quantico, Va, Thurs
day, August Is Maj. Gen. George Bar
nett, commandant, and Brig. Gen
Charles Fl. Lauchheimer, adjutant and
inspector, attended the exercises, Gen
Barnett presenting the diplomas and
Gen. Lauchheimer administering the
oath.
The presentation of the commissions
was preceded by a reception, each
member of the graduating class being
presented to the Major General Com
mandant and to the other officers pres
ent by Lieut. Col p NJ Rixey, COM
mandant of the Marine Officers School.
All of the newly commissioned Off
GERS have served as enlisted men in
the ranks of the Marine Corps, in ac-
cordance with the policy of Marine
Corps headquarters to accept no civil
ian candidates for commissions. They
were ordered to Quantico from Mar
inc Corps posts, stations and ships
three months ago to attend the Off
GERS school. Four of them came from
the legation guard at Picking, China;
six from the Philippine Islands, while
others came from Guam, Hawaii; Cali
fornia, Hayti, Santo Domingo, Mica
ragua, the Gulf coast, Cuba, and the
vessels of the fleet on both coasts.
All won their commissions after an
intensive three months course, in
which some failed in the monthly ex-
aminations. OF those who have won
commissions, many have held noncom-
missioned officers posts in the Marine
Corps. Among them are former SER
geants major, 1 gunnery sergeant, 8
quartermaster sergeants, 23 sergeants,
and 2S corporals. The remainder of the
graduating class were chosen from the
grade of private.

THE PEACE DRIVE

The month just past has been the
Allies best in four years Between
mid-July and August 3 the French,
British. Italians and Americans have
taken 73 900 prisoners and more than
100 guns, and they have freed from
a brutal invader more than $500
square miles Of fertile, though vast
ed soil
These figures represent the great
est allied gains in any month since
the war began. and they are rightly
hailed in four capitals as evidence
that the numerical superiority and
the preponderant resources of those
nations in league against autocracy
are at last bringing the results for
which civilization prays. The Allies
are out 10 win. and they are winning
because they have pooled their re-
sources, have submitted to a com
mon military command and COM
mon naval policy.
The Germans. in this same month,
have lost no less than $4,000 fighting
men by wounds and death. and have
been compelled to abondon enormous
quantities of war material of every
kind They are on the defensive
now. and Foch intends that they shall
never win again that initiative of
which his blow at Chateau Thierry
robbed them.
These are the reasons for the meet
ing of the emperors at German main
headquarters. Another peace drive is
due Civilians in France and Great
Britain, Italy and America should
make sure that this peace drive is as
futile as the recent German drive on
Paris proved to be.
