Of More Assistance.

The bank of today is of greater service
to the general public than ever before.
This has been demonstrated in many
ways. Practically all national banks
and trust companies and many savings
banks have given added service to their
clientele and to the government in the
last ninety days in the assistance they
have rendered in preparing income tax
returns. One trust company expert has
individually prepared nearly 1000 Indi-
vidual and some corporation returns.
There are numerous experts now
among the local banking officials who
can handle the complicated questions
and problems of the income tax with
relative ease.
The service rendered in preparing
certificates to go with coupons for cell
lection and the collection of the cou-
pons themselves is invaluable to the
investors of Washington.
The service to the government in
fiotation of liberty bond loans and
Treasury certificates is part of the duty
toward the government. and invaluable.
On investment matters the banker is
the one man who should always be con-
suited. They are familiar with the va
rious issues of worthy collateral and
may frequently save one unfamiliar
with investments from being made

Enormous Amount Of Detail.

1.-THE war risk insurance bureau is
handling an enormous amount OF de-
tail. Thousands of letters mailed TO
addresses of allottees as given in appil-
.ations have been returned by the post
IL authorities, with statements that
there is no such address, no such per-
son, person has removed without leaV-
ing new address or similar reason for
non-delivery.
The war risk insurance bureau has
sent out to date approximately 1.250,o0O
checks. and others in ever-increasing
daily average are being mailed. The
government has now on its books as
insured approximately 500, 900 men for
an average of $4,000 per man.
The military and naval division OF
the war risk insurance bureau, which
handles allotments of pay and insur-
ance of soldiers, was established &c
tober 6 last. 1t was necessary to OBJ
tain and instruct an entirely new and
inexperienced force. There was great
difficulty in obtaining space for the
necessary workrooms; in fact. the es-
Establishment is now scattered about
Washington in six different buildings.
up to the present there has been
obta ina BILE only a minute part of the
mechanical devices required to facili-
tate the work. 1t has therefore been
necessary to write out by hand all
checks and records.
The war risk insurance bureau is
rapidly getting into shape. Shortly
its entire business will be running
smoothly"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-03-24
Gases Disclaimed by Soldiers.

There are from 5000 to 1000 cases on
| file in the war risk bureau where the
claims for allotment of alleged benefi-
ciarles are not supported by the &C
! acknowledgements of the soldier to whose
pay claim is made. In some of these
| instances the soldier claims exemption
on account of misconduct; in 20 per
cent of them the soldier denies mar
riage or liability of his pay to curtail-
| ment for allotment to any beneficiary.
These are the most complicated cases
before the bureau. To make good a
claim over the reputation of the SOL
der wife must give convincing evil
dence, including her marriage certifi-
cate or a sworn. copy of record. to sub
stantiate her demands. Military au-
| thorities in the past have been lenient
with soldiers who unfairly deny their
liability to allotment of their pay; there
is now, however, disposition to i'm
pose a penalty. and one camp is SEN
fencing such individuals to three
months in prison.
cause of delay is the mass of cor
| respondence sent to some other agency
of the government and reaching the
war fisk bureau weeks and months
after it was sent out. nlegibility of
applications is another cause of delay;
| names and addresses are often unread
| able, and frequently explain the return
of letters sent to addresses which were
as near as could be deciphered from
the writing.
Answer to Complaints.
The war risk insurance bureau force
is at this moment devoting nearly all
its energies to getting out checks due
on the current pay roll of the Army
When these checks are received by
those to whom they are addressed it
| is believed that the greater part of the
! complaints registered and many that
have not been filed will have been sat-
isfactorily answered.
In many instances immediate remedy
is required to relieve some case of es-
pecial distress. Wherever this is evil
dent Director De Danoy gives his own
personal attention and sees that it is
done, the case taking precedence over
all other business. But the bulk Of
correspondence must take its turn. To
give attention to the correspondence as
the prime factor would be to halt the
entire machinery of the bureau. The
policy is now to speed up the machinery
on business of record and increase the
record to feed the machine as fast as
possible.
A complaint received at The Star is
the reason for explanation of the situ-
alton and how to improve it, In this
instance the name of the soldier. his
rank and organization and the names
and addresses of the benficiaries are
invited by Director De Lanoy. Anna
rently in this case the former commu-
nlcatlon had been addressed to some
o!ner government agency than the war
fisk insurance bureau. which would
perhaps explain the failure of response
until 1T arrives in time at that nroner
channel of response.
