MILITARY PAY FOR RECRUITS
FIRST INSTALMENT DUE TODAY FEW APPLICATIONS IN INVERCARGILL Men out of employment through the temporary suspension of mobilization of the 4th Reinforcements of the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force will receive their first week’s military pay today. Pay warrants are available at the Invercargill Army office and they may bt cashed at any Post Office. Up to noon yesterday few applications for pay had been received at the Invercargill office. It was not expected that there would becnany. A large number of the 465 Southland men who have been drafted into the 4th Reinforcements are civil servants, members of local body staffs and tradesmen who were able to go back to their employment, and as far as could be ascertained yesterday almost all of them had been absorbed in their former employment. Most of the applications which will be considered today—about 12 had been filed yesterday—are from casual workers who were not in regular employment when they enlisted. The pay warrants will be for the gross amount of wages and they will also include provision for the payment of allowances to wives and children. After today the Army custom of fortnightly pay will be followed.
