New Army Navy Pay Plan
Changes in Allotment and Allowance
Scheme to Dependents Made.

The Bureau of Education of the On
partment of the Interior, War Work.
Extension Division, has issued, from
it's New York office, 20 West Thirty
ninth street, a statement containing
information for the dependent mem
bers of families of officers and enlist
ed men in the Army, Navy and Ma
rine Corps, and Coast Guard of the
United States, whether they are now
in service here or abroad.
The statement is an explanation of
the changes made in the payment Of
allowances and allotments to depend
ents of the men in service, made
necessary by the recent amendment of
the so-called War Risk Insurance act.
Hereafter, through the War Risk
Insurance Bureau, no officer or en-
listed man may direct the Govern
ment, or be directed by it, to turn
over more than SIS of his monthly
pay to those dependent upon him,
Neither will the War Risk Insurance
Bureau send even this $l5 to a de-
pendent unless the allotment carries
with it an additional Government al
lowance for the benefit of the de-
pendent. The men in the service NAV,
however, cause more of their monthly
pay to be sent home up to an amount
equal to half Of it, through the War
or Navy Departments.
Notice of the change in the law was
sent promptly to all officers and men
in service, but it will take some time
for the new forms to be executed and
returned to Washington. It is this
delay which may work hardship to
some families. To alleviate any real
distress the American Red Cross,
through its Home Service section, has
agreed to supply the necessary money.
The law had to be amended because
of the huge amount of clerical work
the original act made necessary,
which has caused interminabIe delay
in the forwarding of pay checks to
the beneficiaries. Every time an en-
listed man or officer was promoted, or
denoted, for that matter the allot-
ment and allowance account had to
be changed, and this required from
| 10000 to 10000 changes a month
and pay checks were always late
| Under the new regulations, it is be-
lieved, when they are fully under
stood, the delivery Of checks will be
greatly speeded up.

Thousands of brawny, patriotic
American workingmen, all eager to
hear about the war at first-hand.
comprising the Industrial staffs of
the Lalance- Grosjean tin plant, the
Pennsylvania Railroad shop yards
and the Central Iron and Steel Com
pany, listened at their respective
places of labor this morning and
early this afternoon to vivid descrip-
tons of the conditions, past and
present, by Captain Walter Kilroy
Harris, of the British Royal Naval
Division. who served two years in
the trenches of France and Belgium
Physically unfit for military duty
abroad, owing to wounds received in
battle, Captain Harris is "on leave"
in this country where he is lectur-
ing and speaking under the auspices
of different State Councils of De-
Tense. He spoke at noon yesterday
at a membership luncheon of the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
on killing Germans" and electrified
his large audience with his intimate
description of the ungentle art of ex-
tinguishing the Hun.
Typical of all his talks to-day was
that made before the railroad en-
ployes before whom he praised the
recent heroics of American Sam
mics" who, he said, were doing "all
that was expected of them and then
some" Because of the tactical
genius of Foch and the undaunted
spirit of the Allied arms, the three
recent drives of Hindenburg result
ed in absolute failures. The objec-
tive, he said, of Great Britain,
France and America, was the de-
struction of the German army,
which, as long as it exists, would
mean the, continuation of the war.
German propaganda, Captain Harris
said, had ever belittled England's S
part in the war, making it out that
Great Britain had left the heavy
work to her colonies and the Allies.
Figures on the war, the speaker
averred, bearing upon England's part
in it, utterly confuted the charge.
Concluding, Captain Harris told
the railroad men that 'it may take
much longer than optimists are led
to think by the good news in the
papers these days to end the war
VIGOROUSLY for the Allies. A few
months ago things looked dark, but
there has never been any question of
our ultimate victory. After four years
of untold sacrifice, Britain is for a
continuation of the war until the
goal is reached or, in the words of
the British Prime Minister, Victory
must be so complete that our ma
tions liberty never again shall be
challenged

SPEED OF YANKEE
| ARMY SURPRISES
MILITARY SHARPS
Not Clear in Washington
Whether Americans Have
Halted on New Line
H Associated Press

Washington, Sept. 14.-With the
st. Mihiel salient wiped out by Gen
eral Pershing's army, interest of Of
ficials here was divided to-day be-
tween the next probable move by the
American forces and the amount of
booty that had fallen to them in the
short time required for the accom-
plishments of the first task assigned
them as an independent operating
army.
Latest reports from the front did
not make it clear whether the
Americans and the supporting
French forces had halted on a new
line in the shape of bow from
Fresnes to the Moselle river at
Pagny. where the German border
was in sight, or still were pursuing
the enemy.
The speed with which the Amer
leans from the south and those ad-
vancing from the west made juno
ture some twelve miles northeast of
st. Mihiel was surprising in view of
the fact that no less than seven Ger
man divisions opposed them. That
many divisions were identified by
the prisoners taken by the Pershing
army, reported this morning as being
1890.

Iron Field Near Metz
Vital to German Army

Philadelphia, Sept. 14.-Between
Verdun and Metz lies the basin OF
Briey. Germany has been in posses
sion of the whole of the iron ore
field in this area since August. 1914
writes Fullerton L. Waldo in the
Public Ledger. This iron ore is PAL
ticularly important in the manufac-
ture of steel by the besSemer process.
Germany has thereby been enabled
during the war to double the figures
of her previous iron and steel pro-
duction.
In the valley of the Moselle, along
which the Americans are advancing
in the direction of Metz, are many
smelling furnaces, TO which coal is
brought from the Sarree basin in the
Lorraine plateau. The Sarre, coming
from the southeast, joins the Moselle
about forty miles below Metz.
Germany before the war produced
2S.O0O.0O0 tons of iron and 21,000,-
600 tons came from this region.
France before the war produced
22,000,O00 tons of iron, of which 15,-
coo, 900 came from the part of the
basin which she still held after the
disaster of 1S70-71.
Germany, taking LuXembourg's g.
100000 tons and Frances 100000
tons, has added 2l,000,000 tons of her
previous supply-giving her 49,0O0,-
600 tons in all.
on May 20, 1915, six industrial and
agricultural associations of Germany
addressed to DIR. Won Bethmann-Hol-
veg a memorandum in which they
said:
IF since August, 1914, the pro-
duction of pig iron and steel had not
been doubled, it would have been
impossible to continue the war"
IF" said Senator Berenger, I'VE
continue in possession of Nerdun and
through our armies conquer Metz
once more, we shall be able by this
stroke to end the war, since we shall
take from Germany 100000 of her
total supply of 49,OO0,O0O tons-siX-
sevenths of her whole production OF
the essential war MATERIAL
