ANSWER FOR CRITICS
OF WAR RISK BUREAU
Victimized Oftcner Than It
Blunders, Says Dr. Carl
Kelscy
The pulillo hears a great deal about
poor persons who havo not been paid
their war allotments by the Government,
but Utile Is said of tho thousands re
ceiving from tho Government monev
they are not entitled to.

"rI h-elsey. professor in the AVharton
school of KInnnee, In charge of the
war risk Insurance bureau for Pennsyl
anla, New Jersey nnd Delaware. Doc
tor Kelsey spolto today before the Civic
Club In an effort to explain the Gov
ernment's provision for tho dependents
of soldiers and sailors.
"The hiarvet of It all !s that, despite
the complicated methods and the millions
of requisites and letters that flood tho
Government offices, 9G per cent of the
allotments are being paid to the proper
families without ary trouble.
"All tho trouble over ullotments does
not rest with tho Go eminent," smiled
Doctor Kelsey, as ho further explained.
"Some men forgot they had wives when
then, enlisted. Somo wrote so llleirfhlv
that amcs and addresses could not !
mado out. Somo tew mado out their al-'
" "' ' ' , ... . WCre not tnelr

out notifying the department at Wash-I
Ington.
'Ttlght now I have the names of more '
than 100 families In Philadelphia who!
should bo receiving clicks and I can't
find them on tho face of tho earth.
"Thero are, of course, a number of
mistakes In tho Government offices. It I
is Inevitable In any scheme. Imagine '
' r "ee men or the same name,
from the same town. In tho same com
pany, all of whom made out requisitions
for allotments to their families. You
know some confusion Is bound to re
sult." i
"You heat- a few stories of distress
from families of men In service. But
I could tell you ten times as many as ,
ngalnat these, self-advertised ones. You '
hear that Mrs, Mary Jones on your
street Is destitute and hasn't received i
her payments for three months, and you j
blame the Government. You don't know
that that cheek has been going out I
regularly, but some other Mrs. Mary i
Jones hns been getting It lately nnd she
cashed It and said nothing about it to '
authorities though she knew It was not !
hers.
"You don't hear about the poor work- '
man, discharged from the army months
ago, who Is still receiving and using I
tho money alloted to his family while '
he was In service. Wo could prosecute
him becauso that money no longer be-
longs to hm andho must know It. But
the Qovernmerit has not prosecuted, be
cause he was poor and Ignorant.
Doctor Kelsey urged tho women to
turn all complaints Into tho home
service section of Red Crooa which was
organized to care for such emergencies.
Mrs. John Newbold, Jr., speaking for
tho after-care committee of, lied Cross,
explained that they were taking care
of thousands of such cases In Phila
delphia. ENSIGN HOME WITH BRIDE
