AMERICAN SOLDIERS
 GET PAY PROMPTLY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23-Troops in the United States now are being paid within five days or less after the first of each month and voluntary allotments are being sent 10 relatives with only slight delay, Brigadier General Wood, acting quartermaster general, said to- day.
 A year ago payments were delayed in many cases as late as the twenty fifth of the following month, he said but the efforts of Brigadier General H. M. Lord. head of the financial division of the quartermaster corps, have month by month cut down the time until Ie- ports from 2S out of 32 camps and can comments for September show all men had received their August pay by Sep tember !.
 The greatest source of delay in pay ing the men, General Wood said, has been among casuals. The inaugura- tion of the individual pay card system devised by General Lord, under vhi.b each soldier carried his own record with him making it unnecessary to await his military record, has relieved the situation.
