LIBERALIZATION, DECENTRALIZATION.

The experience Of men Of all kinds is that de
tends to demoralize, the readJust-
1nent involved proving to be more than a mere
change Of clothing. The jump from civil life
INTO army or navy was made under conditions
Of immense strain and excitement. In the in
spiration coming from his war duty no man
found it hard to form the habits and associa-
tons Of his totally strange existence But the
return now to civil life is different. The war
fever has already vanished, and the sustaining
excitement of being at home again is short-lived
The superior authority Of the war department
with its semi -paternalistic care is missing; the
daily stint is no longer exacted; and the rup-
tured elements Of former civil life are not yet
renewed.
A man in this stage is likely to drift without
compass and unless he finds a steady influence
he drifts easily into chaos and all kinds Of
trouble IF he has work and tries to go about
his business as though nothing had happened,
he gathers up the strands he let fall and be-
comes much the same person as before the war,
except for maturity coming from his expert
ences.

will, given time. He, too, has his troubles
and finds it impossible to make live or

speeding up all the time. He is in the

by the war, and the most of him is con-

500 Bonus For Men in Service.

Every person in the military or naval
service who has resigned or has been dis
charged or released from active duty I'M
der honorable conditions after April 6,
1917, or who hereafter resigns, or is dis
charged from active duty is entitled to
gratuity of 500 with a certain few ex-
ceptions.
Briefly the persons entitled to this
gratuity are:
Officers and enlisted men of the Army,
including field clerks and nurses, Navy
and Marine Corps, Naval Reservists,
male and female persons in the service
of the Coast Guard Coast and Geodetic
Survey and Lighthouse Service who per-
formed active duty with the Navy dur
ing the present war.
The exceptions are:
Any person who did not report for &C
tive duty until after November II, 1918;
any person who has already received one
months pay on discharge from the Army
under the act of May IS, 1917; any per-
son who is entitled to retired pay,
The heirs or legal representatives of a
person who is entitled to this gratuity do
not become entitled to it. 1t is provided
as an aid to discharged men until they
can obtain employment, and bears no
relation to pensions, insurance or COM
penSatlon
This gratuity will be paid to the per-
sons who are entitled to receive it on
resignation, discharge or release from &C
tive duty by the supply officer who makes
the final settlement of their account
If already separated from the service
Of A oLaa
ton to the Zone Finance Officer, Lemon
Building, Washington, D. c.; and mem
bers of the Navy or Naval Reserve Force
sion, Bureau of Supplies and Accounts,
Navy Department, Washington, D. c. !;
Members of the Marine Corps will make
claim on the officer who settled their &C
counts; or, if this officers whereabouts is
unknown or if paid off by Navy supply
officer, claim will be forwarded to the
Paymaster Marine Corps Headquarters,
Washington, d. c.; Coast Guard mem
bcrs will forward their claims To Coast
Guard Headquarters, Washington, d. c.
All claims will be accompanied by a
statement of service and the original
certificate of discharge or orders TO in
active duty. If the original discharge or
orders are lost, it will be necessary to OBJ
tain not only duplicate but statement
from the officer by whom final settlement
of account was made that no gratuty
was paid at discharge. This will take
time, of course, but is reasonable and
necessary in order to avoid duplication of
payments.
No particular form of claim is required.
Claims will be considered in order of
receipt, and every effort will be made to
pay them promptly. The large number
which is expected at once may cause
some delay in their settlement, but they
will be paid as rapidly as possib Bile.

HOW MOVITZ HELPED WIN
THE WAR.

Movitz is a name which indicates
that the diminutive individual who
bears it first saw the light in land
which was ruled by an autocratic
car, but Movitz is a loyal American
now and eagerly doing his part to hold
aloft the torch of liberty. He goes to
school in a big New England city, and
one day he handed in the following
composition to his teacher:
Zone day in August my eldest
brother came in the house with book
in his hand. He had signed my name
and had given me a Thrift Stamp tC
start with for helping him sell papers
Sunday I read in the papers of the
German mustard gas and how many
American soldiers had been gassed
then made up my mind to try to run
errands and buy Thrift Stamps with
what I earned. The Germans launch
; ed their last great drive when | had
FIVE Thrift Stamps.
"One day after we had sold papers
, for two hours l fell down and hurt my
ankle and l thought l would not be
able to sell papers the next week. But
| was very glad when l could run
once again and did not miss my
weekly stamp. 1t was but two more
weeks when l had fourteen stamps
and two more were needed to make
a War Savings Stamp. Here is how
l earned them in one week. Monday

cents.

A REAL PATRIOT.

Uncle Sans War Saving and
Thrift Stamps are better than any
stock in the world, wrote a boy in the
eighth grade of a certain school in a
big New England city. while the stock
is likely to drop and ruin the man who
owns that stock, Uncle Sans stamps
never fall but gain steadily, They
are better than any bank for the banks
are liable to fail while the stamps
never fail
Here are some ways for people to
save. For adults: stop buying trash
that is no good for any one; stop going
to foolish places as moving pictures
and theatres unless some historic play
is at that theatre or picture house Eat
only nutritious food.
''For children girls can earn money
by doing sewing, washing dishes, and
doing other domestic works.
For boys: boys can earn money in
a dozen different ways. Here are a
few, Shoveling snow, sitting ashes,
doing domestic work, doing odd jobs,
running errands, and putting ashes on
slippery sidewalks.
Now here are a dozen different
ways to make money for adults and
children. Being thrifty is one of the
best habits that any man, woman or
child Can learn. A boy or girl learn
i%5 to save by buying War Savings and
Thrift Stamps will later on in life keep
up the habit and not spend money
foolishly. If the American people
could be thrifty while the war lasted,
they can keep it up for few years
more. There are few people who go
around talking about what they would
do if they were a soldier. You can put
a spoke in their wheels if you ask them
if they were thrifty and saved food
The answer ninety nine cases out of a
hundred will be No Then they will

CHILDREN, THRIFT AND
PATRIOTISM.

In summing up the total of War Saw
ings Stamps activity in 1918, some
remarkable records made by children
IN the schools are shown This means
not only a vast amount of present
help to the Government, but snug sums
of money for the children themselves
when the stamps reach maturity But
the prospect of financial gain, excellent
as il may he is but 2 small asset when
compared with the practical training
in thrift and the lessons in genuine pa
triotism which the young folks have
received
Parents have been accused, often
justly, Of overwhelming the children,
and it is true that many children grow
to maturity with no conception of the
value of money until forced to earn it
for themselves. Even then they are
ignorant as to how to apportion their
income, because untaught, and the
thought of contributing to the general
welfare does not enter into such plan
ming as they are able to do
That there is no loss without some
gain is as true now as ever, and out
of recent conditions have come inval-
liable lessons in thrift Patriotic
teaching too has been accelerated by
the War Savings Stamps. Thought
fulness for the general welfare and
willingness to practice the utmost self
denial in order to help and uplift, rep
resent the Hottest type of patriotism,
and these the children are acquiring
through the medium of the tiny bits of
Government assurance which, pur-
chased methodically. quickly grow into
the more valuable War Savings
Stamps.
/ The little Thrift Stamps are laying
broad foundation for American char.
acter upon which the years may build
1t is cause for concentration that they
are to remain with us. The children
we always have, and the needs of the
Government are still greater There
is no excuse for us if we neglect the
opportunity to drive the lessons
| home.
