GIVE THE BOYS MORE PAY

A bonus of 500 pay for men
discharged from military service
is provided by one of the riders
of the War Revenue Bill. It is
spoken of as a pittance in con-
gress.
1t is common knowledge that
almost every young chap who
pledged his life for his board and
clothes in Uncle Sans service
last year, has, or will come out
of the army poorer than he went
in. On top of that many have
lost their jobs, many more have
had no pay for eight months,
nor have their families received
the stipulated allotments, thou
sands have been crippled for life
and as the law now stands, every
soldier must turn in his uniform
at the end of 3 months, altho
these are the only clothes a ma
jority have on their backs.
Recently in a movie theater a
pictured plea for a 6 months bo-
nus to returning soldiers was
flashed on the screen. The spec
tators applauded vigorously and
generally, indicating how the
people who pay the bills feel
about doing full justice to these
men. -Capper's Weekly.

On Soldiers Letters

zes the following:
Some confusion seems to exist
as to the proper amount of post.
age to be. placed on letters ad.
dressed to the members of the
American Expeditionary Forces.
Before the armistice was signed
and mail was addressed as pro-
vided for in war department bul.
letins AZ and 46, ISSUED Septem-
Der, 1910 there was no con-
fusion as all mail was accepted
by the postoffice department at
domestic rates. Since November
IL, officers and enlisted men
have been furnishing their rela-
tives and friends in the United
States with the name of the
town or city in which they are
stationed. These relatives and
friends are addressing the mail
to towns and cities in France
but are only placing domestic
postage on the letters.
Under the postal regulations
this mail can not be forwarded
and is returned for additional
postage. In many cases there
is no return address on the en-
velopes and the letters go to the
dead letter office. When mail is
addressed and forwarded ac-
cording to the wartime method,
by giving the unit to which the
soldier belongs and the army
postoffice number, the domestic
rate of postage g cents per

pre-war method of addressing
mail is employed, wherein the

tomatically comes under the for
eign postal regulations and re-
quires foreign postage rates g
