HASKIN LETTER
A TANGLE IN ALLOTMENTS
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKlN

When asked this question, one soldier
replied that there were only two ways
to spend in camp-at the canteen and at
the poker table, SO by not having any
money to spend. he said. both his diges-
ton and character remained unimpaired.
One of the most interesting forms OF
allotments handled by the finance divi-
sion of the war department are those
for Liberty bonds. When the second
Liberty loan was launched somebody
conceived the idea of permitting soldiers
to buy bonds on the monthly allotment
kasis. but the government lacked author
ity to put over such n proposition. The
Federal Reserve Bank of New York
city then came to the rescue. 1t agreed
to lend the money to the soldiers, VINO
were to pay it back in monthly INSTALL
ments thru the finance division. Accord
ingly. bond selling squads toured the
training camps and sold bonds to 100000
men. Unfortunately, this loan was staged
before the war risk insurance laws were
enacted. so that many men bought bonas
who were later forced to give them up
because they could not keep up the
payments on them and have insurance
too.
For this reason. the third Liberty loan
was restricted to men who had come
into the army after the second loan. As
a result. the number of subscribers fell
to $1,000 This time the money was put
up BY the government. the necessary
authority having been discovered by the
secretary of the treasury. Otherwise,
it could not have been opened to tho
army on the allotment plan. because the
Federal Reserve Bank was heartily tired
of it's end of the transaction and bitterly
regretted ever having loaned the money
for the second bonds to the army. 1t
did not object to loaning the money.
but il did resent the thousands of
letters it aftcrward received from bond
holders all over the country. inquiring
about the terms of payment and other
ma.ters-lettors that were to have been
attended 10 bv the army.
The fourth Liberty loan bonds wero
also sold to the army by the treasury
department This time there was m
even larger subscription than for the
second loan. .:6J 900 soldiers buying
bonds up to the value of 5000. 900.
The majority of these are still unpaid
for and are on the allotment books of
the finance division Others are already
in the hands of heir owners. Still others
are being promptly delivered to the re-
turned soldiers who constantly pour into
the Liberty loan branch of the finance
division. and make out affidavits that
they have paid for bonds and have not
them.

Getting back to civil life seems to
be the big thought in the minds of all
soldiers Of the National Army.
The writer, who has been across
and now wears two wound stripes,
was treated to an interesting little
argument the other day, which took
place in the lobby of a theatre.
Two husky Yanks were telling each
other all about their wounds received
somewhere near Chateau Thierry, and
each seemed bent on holding the
hoor long enough to explain fully
Just what would have to be the fu-
ture Of each when they got back to
civil life.
Listen. Buddy" said one Of the
wounded heroes. "you have been a
soldier under the greatest flag that
was ever made. And right now you
seem to be forgetting that the coun-
try represented by that flag gave you
the uniform you now wear and taught
you to be a good soldier. Also, you
must remember that that same coun-
try will see to it that you get out Of
that uniform, just as clean as when
you got into it, and maybe cleaner
and you need not keep other guys
awake after taps, trying to tell them
different"
'That's all fine, old boy Billy. :"
said the buddy, but perhaps have
not given the matter as much thought
as you. One of the boys in my COM
pany made the crack to me the other
day that we were all to be discharged
and sent home. and that when we
got canned Uncle Sam would shake
our hands and say: Thanks for help
ing me, boys, but it's all over now
and / don't need you any more
"Well," said Billy. what an awful
mess kit you turned out to be, TO
think that you would eat up lot Of
bunk like that. I'll bet the tickets to
this show that If you looked UP that
9uv that pulled that fairy tale on you,
YOU would ind that Uncle Sam can't
make a hat small enough to fit his
pin head.

get the chance, ask his captain what

you're pretty near right on that,
Ruddy. and can say this, now that l
think Of it, that the same fellow never
leaned how to do a left-face without
friDpinS himself. But, just the same,
would like to know from somebody
Who can tell me, just what is to hap
men to me, now that I've left one OF
INV arms some place in Chateau
Thierry."
"Well. III tell you the answer to
that In q minute. You are just like

told the editor that he could not

be explaining things to the customer
and wiping the customers neck
where the soup spilled"
Nov, get me right, Billy. You
are not bad of at all. If you picked
a Job as a waiter and liked it because
of the tips, you can easily realize that
a job as headwaiter, or even bell boy,
would be soft for you. There'd De

crying, If anybody, bat she's game
little woman all the way through,
and she told me just what I'm telling
you. And when you get that kind OF
stun right from your own home, It's
pretty good, think.
Perhaps you don't know 1t, but
without any of our help, Uncle Sam
has established o Federal Board for
Vocational Education. They had you
and me in mind when they did 1t, and
there's nothing to worry about. This
board will take care of all Of US, and
then some. The biggest brains in the
country have been at work since the
war started, and now that the fight

part, all we got to do is sit tight and
let Uncle Sam do his part for us now.
why, they got things down so fine

story for you. These guys that are
doing all the squealing now don't
know what they are talking about,
because they amt got the bean TO
find out something first.
"And I'll bet that if you see them
