New System of Payment by Bureau of War
Hisk Insurance,
No uneasiness need be felt by fami-
lies or dependents of service men re-
ceiving allowance checks from the
Bareau of War Risk Iosurance if they
find the checks reduced in amount
this month,
The reduction is in accordance with
A new system of payment adopted by
the Buresu, which will standardize
the smount psid through it. Addi-
tional checks to make the full allow-
apce or allotment will be forwarded
by either the War Department, Navy
Department, Marine Corps, or the
Coast Guard—sccording to the branch
in which the enlisted men are serv-
ing.
The Pennsylvania Council of Na-
tional Defense and Committee of Pub-
lic Bafely has been informed by Wash-
ington that the change is intended to
epeed-up psyment of allotments and
allbwance, It will do away with a
large smc unt of figuring in the War
Risk Insurance Bureas, which will
hereafter issue checks only in amounts
of §15 or $20, the balance to be paid by
other Government departments, Ds
pendents are urged to write to enMsted
men to find out how much they are
alloting out of thelr pay to their fami-
lies at home. They will in this Way
be able to learn if they are receiving
the correct amount by check over and
above what the War Risk Insurance
Bareau is paying them.

Strange Lohdon Figure,
A few years ago ‘here used to stand
on the pavement of Oxford street in
all weathers a venerable white haired
gentleman, dressed respectably in
high hat and frock coat, who accosted
each member of the throng of sun
worshipers, moving eastward in the
morning, westward in the evenings,
uttering In a quick tone of deep con-
cern the single phrase, “The time is
short! The time Is short!” No one
stopped to listen to the old revivalist,
or cared to hear the further words of
warning which he would have given,
for all knew that he prated of things
that did not really matter to the seri
ous city man.~London Nation.
