WAR GRATUITIES.

PROGRESS OF PAYMENT. Wellington, This Day. Good progress is being made in the payment of the war gratuities to members of the Expeditionary Force, the position at the end of last week being that 13,271 applications had been completely dealt with, involving an expenditure of £856,630, Nearly half of the applications received to dale have gone to the ledger department of the Pay Office for making the necessary- entries in the soldier’s account, and the special staff engaged in dealing with the original applications is working so well that during one day last week 1,138 claims were put through, representing a distribution of £71,000, The average number disposed of daily is about 760, The whole matter is regarded as urgent, and for that reason overtime is being steadily worked in this section of the office. Some soldiers who have received their acknowledgment of the claim are puzzled because they hear of others whose acknowledgments bear a later number obtaining an earlier deposit to their credit. Though the claims are approved in order of receipt, the subsequent process hr the ledger department cannot always keep up the same pace, as the different clerks have varying numbers uf accounts to adjust. If there is any necessity for correspondence after receipt of the acknowledgment of a claim, the soldier is advised to mention the serial number, as this will enable the claim to be traced without delay'.
