ALLOTMENT AND
ALLOWANCE CHECKS

There has been change in the
system of the bureau of war risk in
surance of the treasury in the mat
ter of allotment and allowance
checks. This results in some Of the
checks sent out by the bureau being
for smaller sums than heretofore,
but the amounts omitted from 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 allot-
ments and allowances.
Prior to July last the war risk in
surance bureau took the compulsory
allotment of SIS month and what
ever additional sum the enlisted man
chose to allot to his family, and the
whole amount, together with the
government allowance for depend
ents was included in one check and
sent out by the bureau. Beginning
with the July pay the bureau will col
lect and send out only the compuls-
ory allotment of SIS month and
the government family allowance.
The excess allotments over the
compulsory SIS allotment and the
allotments 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, &C.
cording to the branch Of service to
which the enlisted man belongs.

Dressing Activities.

The temporary adoption of French
war orphans and the children of war
manned soldiers under the Stars and
Stripes plan received a fine impetus
last week when in infartry regiment
which we are fortunate in being
able to designate more specially as
IAN Ohio regiment"-took fifty-four
mascots.
The regiment made campaign for
francs which was directed by the
chaplain and two buck privates and
forwarded cigar box full of more or
less tattered paper money. 1t was a
generous offering. But the money
was gathered just after payday, and
we are assured that its collection
didn't impoyerish any of the $4,000
men concerned. Yet it will provide
comfort and education for a year for
fifty-four children at critical period
in their lives, and appreciably lessen
the difficulties of many widowed
mothers and little brothers and sis
terS.
The memory of this Ohio regiment
will be cherished long in France

AMERICANS ARE
EAGER FOR FRAY
Division of Tennessee
and Carolina Troops
Win Admiration Over
in France.
(By Charles H. Grasty)

AN ENGLISH PORT-I found the
English port swarming with Ameri-
can troops. They have but recently
arrived and are letting no grass
grow under their feet on the way to
France, Rapid as is the movement
1t is none too fast for these restless
men with the "getthere" spirit in
bred in them.
saw one lot marching by. early
this morning, and one of their Of
ficers said: "Those men have made
three moves in as many days. They
turned out about daylight this morn
ing and are now on their way to the
transports"
In spite Of their heavy packs, they
marched with light, springy gait,
and with an air of going to pcnic.
These men wore wildcat embroid-
cred on the sleeve and recognized
the "Click division" descriptions of
which have read.
In the course Of the day I met
many officers with the same device,
and had an opportunity to learn
more about these sturdy mountain
eers, whose almost total seclusion for
generations has been one Of the ro-
mances Of our polyglot American
history. They have stepped right out
OF an isolation where the existence
sof foreign countries was but vaguely
known. They are pure-blood Ameri-
cans, without the cross of strange
breeds.
Let me say, I've nowhere seen men
who have more w0rthily represented
us. They are spare and as hard as
nails, and quick to acquire habits Of
discipline. I noticed, particularly,
how punctilious they were in salut-
ing, in which respect they set an ex-
ample for the new country troops
who are usually somewhat lax in that
particular.
The officers say they are always
trustworthy and sober, and need no
watching. 1t struck me that their
badge Of identity serves to create
pride and self-respect in these troops
and the practice might profitably be
extended to all divisions, SO as to
cultivate a healthy emulation in
valor and good behavior. I talked
with one of ther officers, who halls
from New York, veteran Of the
Spanish-American war, who belonged
to regiment rife team Of the New
York National Guard.
They're the best shots in Amer
ica," said he, referring especially to
the mountaineers from Tennessee
and the Carolinas. They've been
wonderful in adapting themselves to
the new rifle. One man, who never
before had his hands on an army
rifle, and who was just out of the
hospital. was taken to the rife range
and qualified Immediately as a
marksman. His first shot was low,
to the right. / explained to him how
to hold his piece high and his next
nine shots hit the silhouette figure
