While in training man receives an
amount equal at least TO the base paw
r2celed during his last months ser
vice in the Army, Navy or Marine
Corps. but in 70 case does he receive
!ess than $50 per month If n single
nan, or loss than $75 per month if
uNlng VIA his doDcnicntS. or less
than $50 OcI mon n for himself if
'iivng anart from his dcpendcnts--in

Under the nrrargnmrnt Grst mem
C'0ned, II man who served as a pri-
Vate ar $50 per month. wishes to take
training, waiving claims to subsist-
ehc", clothing, etc, he will, if single
or living apart from his deDendents
during training, be allowed an addi
tionai S35 per month by the Federal
Board, thus bringing his income up to
Nhe minimum of $65 per month On
ne other hand, should the man have
oaen noncommisSioned officer dur
'ng his last months service, and haev
rcceivcd as high as $8l per month, he
VIII, then continue to receive such pay
and 1t will, of course, not be necessary
in this case for the Federal Board TO
allow him anything additional. In the
acSe of officers, it will be apparent,
no allowance will be Forthcoming from
the Federal Board. Men who have
been blinded in battle or who have
lost both arms or both legs, or who
as result of injuries incurred are
permanently and totally disabled, it
may be noted. come under n special
provision which allows them 500 per
rnonth additional.
Many crippled soldiers were dis
| charged without being informed Of the
provisions made for them through the
! agency of the Federal Board, because
they were released from Service be-
fore the machinery for reaching them
was in effect. Any person coming in
contact with such disabled men will
he doing patriotic duty by directing
them either to write to the Federal
Board at Washington or to one of
he Boards fourteen branch Offices. or.
better vet. to appear at one of these
Offices if they can.
1t is very imOortanc that the dis
rh'"d man shall bc made to realize
fully the adavntape Of taking train
ny to insure his future welfare. At
~" rre5rnt time there are many pa
tr'Ntic EMPLOYERS Of labor who are
willing to take on disabled men wheth
or they ar" really capable of per
| form'n" their duties or not. But don't
| for@at that III enw years the work
nf tho really efficient man will tell
mi r" will be the one who will rct
| ahead.
For this reason the Federal Board
IS doing everything in its power to
| train and equip the disabled man i'm
medlat"ly upon his discharge, so that
