PAY & ALLOWANCES
TO AMERICAN MILITARY FORCES COMPULSORY WAR RISK INSURANCE. 10,000 DOLLAR POLICY FOR EVERY MAN. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.25 p.m.) WASHINGTON, May 26. The Senate Military Committee has approved the Soldiers’ Allotment and Allowance Bill, authorising Selective Service Boards classifying men with wives and children into categories to determine the order in which they are to be called up. The Bill provides for a deduction of 22 dollars a. month from a soldier’s pay, to which the Government adds 28 dollars, thus providing a wife with fifty dollars for living expenses. In addition, the Government would pay twelve dollars a month towards the support of one child and ten dollars for each additional child. The committee also approved a new provision making war risk insurance compulsory to an amount of 10,000 dollars for every man in the Armed Services, for which Service men will pay 35 cents a month per thousand dollars insured.
