EXPLANATION OF CHANGES IN AUGUST CHECKS
Read Carefully the Following Changes Made in
August Checks to Soldiers and Sailors Families.

1t is highly essential that every
soldiers and sailors family should
clearly understand the changes
in the law and in the government
procedure which will affect the
amount of the checks which
they will receive from the Gov
eminent after August LIST.
There should be no cause for
alarm, if, in August, the govern
ment check is temporarily de-
layed or is for a reduced amount.
Relatives should be patient while
these changes, instituted for
their ultimate benefit, are being
effected. If the family of every
man in the service whose case
is effected by these changes
should write to Washington for
an explanation, the food Of cor
respondence would cripple the
governmental machinery, thereby
unnecessarily delaying the issu-
anco OF the checks.
Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1918-08-08
Your Check This Month
And Hereafter.

The amount of your check is
less, because the amount the
enlisted man is compelled to
allot from his pay in order to
obtain a Government family al
loWance for you has been reduc-
ed by Congress. The Govern
ment family allowance remains
the same.
If the enlisted man desires to
make an allotment to you in adj
dition to the amount he is COM
PEELED to allot in order to obtain
the Government family allow
ance, such additional allotment
must be made through the War
Department, Navy Department,
Coast Guard or Marine Corps,
and not through the Bureau of
War Risk Insurance. The max
ing of this additional allotment
rests entirely with the enlisted
men. IF YOU HAVE ANY
INFORMATION THAT HEHAS
MADE SUCH AN ALLOT-
MENT, and you do not receive it,
inquiry in regard to it should be
made of the Quartermaster Gen
eral, U. S. Army, Washington, D.
c. if the man is in the Army; the
Navy Allotment Officer, Wash

ance, either because these rela-
tives were not dependent upon
them and, therefore, not legally
entitled to the allowance, or be-
cause although dependent they
did not understand that he could
obtain the allowance for them by
requesting it. In either case,
the relatives will no longer re-
ceive the allotment through the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance.
If the man wishes them to con-
tinue to get the allotment, he
must make a new application
through the office having his &C
counts, which will then be paid
by the War or Navy Departments.
If he decides that he does not
care to do this, these relatives
will cease to receive any pay
ments whatever.
If such a relative should deem
himself to the Government al
lowance by reason Of dependency,
he can only secure it in the flu
ture by asking the man to dis
continue his allotment through
the War or Navy Departments
for instance, and to make appl-
cation to the Bureau Of War
Risk Insurance stating hewishes
to make an allotment which will
carry an allowance with it.

Reduction in Compulsory
Allotment for Men
Getting Over $50.

The amount which every en-
listed man is now required to
allot to his wife and children,
irrespective of the amount of
pay which he is receiving, is SIS.
For each man getting over $50
this will bea reduction. If he
wishes to continue to contribute
to his wife and children the same
amount as before, he may make
a new allotment for the differ
ence through the War Depart
ment or Navy Department. Thus,
for example, if he had formerly
allotted $l8 to his wife and chill
0ren and wishes to continue to
do so, he must a new allotment
of So through the war or
Navy Departments, as the Blu
reau of War Risk Insurance will
in the future handle only the
SIS compulsory allotment.
Prompt notice of these facts has
been sent to men in all branches
of the military and naval service,

No Change to Class-A De-
pendants of Men Getting
$50 And AIlotting SIS.

If an enlisted man whose pay
is $50 a month was allotting to
his wife and children only the
amount required by law, there
will be no change whatever in
the checks which they have been
receiving from the government.
The man must continue to allot
SIS from his pay and the govern
ment will continue to allow SIS
additional to the wife and the
same amount as previously for
each child.

its own funds until the govern
ment checks arrive. Relatives
of enlisted men should not re-
gard this as charity, but as
part of the responsibility which
the Red Cross has assumed for
maintaining the morale of Amer
lean soldiers and sailors by in
sitting them with confidence
that their families will not suffer
for the necessities of life during
their absence.

Reasons For These Changes.

1t is important that soldiers
and sailors families understand
that the changes outlined above
were determined upon after care
full study and with the approval
of the War Department and
Navy Department for the pur-
pose of speeding up delivery of
government checks to the rela-
tives of enlisted men.
Under the new plan the pay
ment of allotments and allow
ances is simplifed. The Bureau
of War Risk Insurance will now
handle allotments of only two
amounts-S15 and $40. Former
ly the allotment was on a sliding
scale and had to be changed
every time a mans pay was in
creased by promotion or other
wise. This required from $780,
600 to 100000 changes per
month.
BY transferring 10 the War
and Navy Departments all aIlot-
mentS not carrying allowances,
the Bureau of War Risk Insur-
'anCe can concentrate all its at
tention upon payments to per-
sons entitled to the government
allowance, and it Is believed that
this simplification of the work
will tend to speed up the delivery
of checks to these persons.
Although the institution of
these changes may cause tenn
porary delay and concern to sol
dier's families unless the reasons
for the changes are carefully eX-
planned, it is expected that the
ultimate result will greatly re-
dound to their benefit, and the
office of the Quartermaster Gen
eral states that no delay is an
ticipated.
In some instances, however,
relatives of a soldier or sailor
may find that their man in the
service has not taken the neCes-
sary steps outlined above to see
that his people at home continue
to receive the same payments as
formerly, through the War or
Navy Departments instead of
through the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance. | such cases, the
relative should write him urging
upon him the necessity of taking
the necessary action. 1t is a
matter which lies purely in his
discretion. He is under no COM
sion from the government.
Home Service to Relieve ANY
Resulting Hardship.
1t is also of the greatest i'm
portance that soldiers and sail
ors and their families should be
inspired with confidence that if
distress results in any case. by
reason of these changes in gov
ernmental procedure, the Red
Cross Home Service stands ready
to relieve it. Where necessary
to prevent hardship, the Red

Reduction in The Allotment
Which Has BeenNecessary
to Secure Allowance to
Class-B Dependents.

Hereafter q man who has no
wife or children need make an
allotment of only SIS to obtain
| the Government allowance for
his dependent parents, brothers,
or sisters.
If he has either a wife or child
or children, or both, to whom, as
the law requires, he is allotting
SIS, he need alIot only S. addl-
tional in order to obtain the full
allowance for his dependent par
ents, brothers or sisters.
Formerly in many cases he
had to allot more. In each Of
these cases, his parents, brothers,
or sisters will now receive a
smaller check from the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance because
of War Risk Insurance because
Of the reduction in the allotment
required. The amount of the
Government allowance will be the
same, but the allotment required
from his pay will be less. If he
desires to have the total continue
as before, he must make an adj
ditional allotment through the
War or Navy Department. Thus
if a soldier or sailor was allotting
$18 to his mother, after August
LIST she will get So less through
the Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance, and if he wishes her to
continue to get the same amount
as before, he must make a separ-
ate allotment of So through the
War or Navy Departments. II
he changes his mind and decides
that SIS is enough, the Govern
ment cannot compel him to allot
more.

Insurance Bureau, but have not
requested the Government allow
Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1918-08-08

but it will, of course, require
some time for the new forms to
be executed and returned to
Washington. Many men may
decide they do not wish to con-
tinue to alllot as much as before.
In such cases the Government
cannot compel them to keep
up the former allotments, and
the family may receive only the
minimum compulsory allotment
of SIS and the same government
allowance as before.
Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1918-08-08
No Change in Allotments
to Persons Not in
Classes A and B.

Relatives or friends of enlisted
men not included in Class A
(Wife, child, or former wife di-
vorced, who has not remarked
and to whom alimony has been
decreed) or in Class B parent,
brother, sister or grandchild) to
whom allotments have been
made, will continue to receive
them through the War Depart
ment as previously. Allotments
to such persons were never
handled by the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance and no change is
contemplated in this regard.
War and Navy Department
Offices Which Handle
Allotments.
If a man desires to continue
allottments which under the
new plan can no longer be made
through the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance, he must make
the allotment through the appro-
pirate officer who has charge of
his accounts, and it will be paid
through the following offices:
In the Army, through the
office of the Quartermaster
General, U, S. Army, Washing
