ALLOTMENTS HELD Up
Special Despatch 10 The srx.

WASHINGTON. Jan. I. Thoroughly
disgustcd with the delays OF the War
Department in paying alotments to
soldiers families. the House took the
matter into it's own hands TODAY and
passed legislation directing the De-
partment to resume Immediately the
payments Of allotments suspended Inst
July.
IL developed that through some
mixup the War Risk Insurance Bureau.
after receiving thousands and thou
sands OF authorizations from soldiers
to allot part of their pay TO dependents
at home. found that this function Of
al!oting pay belonged to the War De-
partment. The Department then de-
manden new authorizations from SOL
diers instead of using authorizations
already in the possession OF the War
Risk Insurance Bureau and sIspended
allotments except on authorizations
they had received.
Since many soldiers had first sent au-
thorizations TO the War Risk Insurance
Bureau they had been shifted. Some
were In prison camps. others in hospI-
tails; many could not be located readily.
Meanwhile tie a,lotments they imagined
their dependents were getting were
held up.
Representative Saunders (Va), Dem
ocrat. father OF the legislation passed
to-day, explained to the House that the
Secretaries Of War and the Treasury had
Joint authority over the payment of al
lotments from pay alone, not including
allowances provided for by the war
risk insurance act. and that the insur-
ance bureau made these allotmcnts for
a time.
Mr. Saunders declared there were dis
continued allotments amounting to be-
tween sl,o00.000 and $1,000. 900 In the
hands OF the War Department to-day In
reply to questions, Mr.. Saunders said the
bill did not take care OF soldiers families
where payments had been stopped on the
ground that the allotment was more
than the soldier was In the habit of con-
tributing to his family's support. An
other bill soon to come before the House
will take care of that situation. he said.
Representative Barslaye Ky) ex-
plained that the granting OF the author.
ity to the War Risk Insurance Bureau
to make allotments merely paralleled
the authority already vested in the WaI
Department and the Navy Department,
and that this had led TO the mix up.
