The failure of the Government to
take care of Washington Marines
widow and five small sons has led
q citizens association to see what
it can do to help.
When The Star on September 13
reported that Pvt. Ernest E. Degges
had died on Okinawa, the Chillum

gratuity equal to six months pay
but the committee of neighbors dis
covered Mrs. Degges hadn't received
it.

recognized Pvt. Degges' death was
by stopping the allotment checks
which had been the only source of
support for the family since the
Marines induction in February,
1914.
This is what Mrs. Degges said had
happened to her since she received
word on September II of her hus-
bands death August %:
She received a pamphlet entitled
information for emergency ad-
dresses, next of kin and benefici-
aries of deceased Marines. This
said the necessary papers would be
sent to her so she waited.
A member of the Veterans of For
eign Wars called to find out If every
thing was all right. He suggested
she call Marine headquarters. When
she called, she was told the Marine
Corps didn't have her husbands S
death on record.
On September 80, she was in
formed the Navy was still investigat-
ing her husbands death and was
awaiting the decision of the judge
advocate general which will be de-
termined by the facts found by the
board of investigation which was
convened to inquire into and report

he told her she's better send them
in again.
A week ago, she got still another

death gratuity. She filled those in
too.
Ultimately, Mr.. Merrilees said
she will receive about $140 month
That's $40 month less than she
received in allotments when her

family had a home in the North

ford to keep it up so the mother
and five children moved in with

was a father who did everything
to give his boys a~good start. It's
a terrible thing to think that he
has sacrificed his life and now
everybody has passed his family by
What kind of a future will his sons
have?"
