BROWN'S SECRETARY
DEFENDS PROBATION
M'ADOO FOR ENFORCED
THRIFT FOR SOLDIERS
Plan for Protecting Fighters and
Families Approved by
President Wilson
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.
Compulsory thrift is to bo taught the
American soldier, It Secretary of tho Treas
ury McAdoo has his way. .The plan of tho
Secretary, which provides for allotment of
at least $15 a month by members of the
American army for the benefit of depend,
ents, 1ms officially been approved by Presi
dent Wilson.
This Is a distinct victory for the treasury
head over his colleague, Secretary of Cuni'
merce ltedueld, and the Insurance experts
with whom the plans for caring for the de
pendents of soldiers has been discussed.
McAdoo nrgucd that It would teach tho
troops thrift and also would aid greatly in
discipline If all were compelled to set aside
a portion of their pay, which Is moro than
Is paid to any army In the world.
The Insurance experts held that this was
confiscation and an Invasion of the rights of
the soldiers. They refused to Indorse the
scheme. General Pershing and the oftlcera
now serving In Kranco recommended to thu
War Department that some such nction be
taken. The Amerlcnn soldiers wasted their
pay. they reported, and In constquenoe
there was much work for tho proobt guard
and n lessening In discipline following tho
paying ort of the troops each month.
The McAdoo plan has been draftul Into
a bill and was presented to Congress
today. It Is a combined Insurance and
allotment pioposltlott The Insuinnco ex
perts held that under tho McAdoo plan
wealthy men would be favored. The Treas
ury Secretary argued that, Inasmuch as the
Insurance would cost only from $7 to $5 u
thousand, any man could spare enough to
carry from $5000 to $10,000 dollars of this
insurance.
Secretary JIcAdoo's plan pro 'Idea for a
minimum allotment ot $15 pdr month by
each soldier, with $5 a mouth additional for
each child. In addition to this allotment
out of the soldier's pay, tho Government
would give allowances ranging from $." to
$50 according to tho extent of the soldier's
allotment nnd to the number of chlldicn or
dependent parents. A private making a $15
allotment would be further aided by an al
lowance ot $32.50 per month from tho
Government, making the total amount re
ceived by the dependent family, $47.50. Tho
allotments and the allowances scale upward
In proportion,
Under the plan there Is a provision under
which the soldier who does not allot half ot
his pay can be compelled to deposit the
difference between what Is nllotttd and a
full half with the Government. This de
posit would bear Interest at 4 per cent and
be compounded semiannually. Tho pur
pose of this Is to enable tho soldier to
build up a fund for paying Insurance
premiums and other obligations. This !
the feature which the Insurance committee
particularly objects to In Mr. McAdoo's plan.
Pensions for dependents In the event
of death aro provided under tho plan.
Furthermore, should a man be killed within
a period of four months before ho had an
opportunity to take out any of these forms
of Insurance, $5000 would be paid Ids estate.
Secretary McAdoo figures that a law pro
vidlng these features would cost for family
allowances, $141,000,000 the first year and
$190,000,000 tho second year; for death In
demnltles, $3,700,000 the first year and $22,
000,000 the second year; for compensation
for total disability, $5,250,000 the llrBt year,
and $35,000,000 the second year; for partial
disability, $3,200,000 the first year, $21,000,
000 tho second year; insurance against
death and dlrabillty, $23,000,000 the (lrst
year, $112,000,000 the second year, or
total expenditure by the Government for
tho tlrst year of the war of $17G, 150,000 and
of $380,000,000 tho second year of the war,
$550,650,000 in the aggregate. Secretary
McAdoo says It would bo difficult at this
time to figure tlie expense for the third
year.

In Kngland these objectors have been
subjected to civil law nnd have received
Jail sentences. In the United States the

martial and will not have nn opportunity
to languish In Jail.
There will bo no separate camps for those
who express a desire to keep out ot battle.

desire to override no sects or creeds, but
ho believes that thcae aro provided for by
the legulattons, which stipulate exemptions
for recognized religious sects opposed to
war
Individual opinion cannot be allowed to
checkmato tho system Uf the draft, military
men declare. They have llttlo or no sym
pathy for the alleged "conscientious otijec
tors," but bellevo they are for the most
part slacken.
