WITHHOLDING PAY
CALLED DISGRACE
House Unanimously Demands
AlIotments to Soldiers
Families Be Resumed.
CRITICISM OF WAR BUREAU

The War Department is ordered by a
resolution adopted by the House yester-
day without a dissenting vote to pay
allotments to families of soldiers on ap-
plications filed with the war risk iusur-
ance prior to July 1. 1918. These pay
ments were suspended by the Quarter
masters Corps when il took over the
bureaus work.
There was a general outpouring of re-
sentiment from both democrats and re-
publcans against the system which has
failed to turn over to the families Of the
soldiers the portion of service pay which
they had been told they would receive.
Criticism by MI. Mann.
Republican Leader Mann severely
criticised the suspension, saying thou
sands OF soldiers who made arrange
ments on entering the service for allot
ments for their families We're returning
to find that the government had taken
the money from their pay, but never
had given it to their families.
ut is a gross and burning outrage
that a country which can give s100, 000.-
600 to help feed the starving countries
of Europe should fall down on a simple
task like this" Mr. Mann said Untold
petence of some one. Families which
could have got along comfortably with
the aid of soldiers aIlotments were
forced to go without sufficient food and
clothing. 1t is a Disgrace
Mr.. Saunders Author of Resolu ton
The resolution was introduced by
Representative Saunders of Virginia,
who explained that prior to July l,
1918. payment of allotments was made
by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance
in accordance with the directions of
the soldiers. After that date the War
Department took charge of the pay
ments and required the filing of adj
ditional notices from the soldiers be-
fore the payments were continued.
1t was explained that in many cases
soldiers did not know of the change;
in others they were unable to file the
required notices. AS a consequence
literally thousands of soldiers rela-
tives have not received the money due
them.
TT is fair estimate to say that
today there are from S1,000,000 to
$4,000, 900 of discontinued allotments
in the hands of the War Department
as the result of discontinuance of
payment said Representative Saun-
derS.
