WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
N ! i’ ■ WK. Aug, 2.- Every Amer
*an soldier .in France will receive a
“bank look” enabling him to draw
T.oO a mouth from any disbursing
officer, if the change in pay methods
)f the \mo ican Expeditionary Force
now under consideration* is put into
(font. The purpose is to enable every
■ to Obtain-promptly at least a
part of hi- monthly pay regardless of
wlu re he may he, whether in a hos
pital or with some organization other
than his own.
“pay book” system is in use in
the Hritish Army. The sum of $7.50
month has been fixed as the min
imum which a soldier should have for
»is personal wants every month and
it would be given to him on his de
mand.
Each three or four months there
Would bo a general accounting, at
wluch hi* total pay, his insurance and
other allotments, his liberty loan sub
criptions and other iteihs would bo
cast uf>, together with his monthly
drafts. The balance then due him
would be put at his disposal.
The soldier would have the advant
age of being able at all times and un
der all circumstances to draw some
1 j quartet mas er in
whose district lie might find himself.
The proposed system would elim
inate the present necessity of having
on hand each soldier’s service record
whenever he draws any money. The
sendee record system, designed for
timo<? of peace, does not take into ac
count the frequent shifts which all
military men must be prepared for.
In many instances nowadays it works
hardships on individual men who pre
transferred faster than their sendee
records can follow them and who con
sequently cannot draw their money
I when it is due merely because the
formalities cannot be complied with.
| The proposed new system appeals
I
A
i
as specially advantageous for cafhps
where there are constantly large num I
-bers of “casuals" strays belonging
to dozens and scores of organizations j
waiting, to join their outfits yet en
able to draw what money is due them
until the service records have Caught
up to them.
