FOR WIDIWS Only Five Shillings a Week For the Soldier’s Wife Who Has Lost Her Husband in War. s London. —Five shillings a week to the soldier’s wife who has lost her hus band in fighting his country's bat tles! With this exclamation one of the leading London papers attacks edi torially the government's pension sys tem which it says is due to the old tradition summed tip in Wellington's assertion that his troops In the Span ish campaign were only "scum of the earth." The war office, according to the writer, fails to realize that times are different now and the vast ma jority of volunteers are men who in civil life earned good wages in fac tory, field, office and shop. Indignation has also been express ed in parliament, so that it is not un likely some reform in pensions may follow. In the British army the pay of of ficers and men is dependent on the regiment. There is no standard scale of pay as in America. Commissioned officers, as a rule, receive a sum im possible to live on—about $35 a month such as the Scots’ Greys or the Gren adier Guards they must be wealthy, with polo ponies, valets and expen sive uniforms. But in certain of the cidonial troops doing police duty in lands bordered by savapes, they get as good pay as American officers and do not have to keep up expensive establishments. $1.65 a Week. The ordinary infantrymen in the new volunteer army of a million men, pledged to foreign service, are started off at $1.64 a week, clear of expenses. Married men are allowed in addition separation pay for their families at the rate of $1.90 a week for the wife and two pence a day—or 28 cents a week—for each child. In the county of London they are given a further sum of 80 cents a week, owing to the higher cost of living. All married soldiers serving abroad are obliged to allot at least 85 cents a week to their families out of their own pay. Worked out on this scale, the lowest sum a soldier's wife with out children can receive is 23 shil lings a week in the case of a warrant officer, 22 for a regimental quarter master sergeant, 16 shillings six pence for corporal or private, if the wife has four children to support, she will receive, on the same scale, a sum ranging from 34 to 22 shillings. 5 to 10 Shillings Pension. Widows of those who die in active service receive, from five to ten shil lings a week, according to the rank of, the husband. But the mass of them will not get over five shillings. An extra allowance varying from forty to fifty cents a week for each child is given, however. While there are no government homes for old soldiers in Great Britain as In the United States, there are cer tain homes maintained by private charity. Of these, the largest and most famous is in Chelsea, London. The garden party given at the Chel sea home for its benefit is one of the big social events of London’s spring season. Much suffering was caused by the government deferring the payment of separation allowance to soldiers’ wjives during the first two months of the war. Not until October Ist was this money put into the hands of the des titute women. War office red tape also held up pay allotments. “The Naked Truth” —at— THE STRAND Tomorrow. “The Pursuit of Phantom.” a five part Paramount Picture, Ih being exhib ited at The Strand today and this eve ning.

GS.BANKS READY TO HELP FIRMER National Banks Have Taken Out Over Seven Million of Emergency Currency; Ready to Lend it on Cotton at Six Cents a Pound. Atlanta, Ga.—-National banks in Georgia have already taken out more than seven million of emergency cur rency and are ready to lend It on cot ton on a six-rent a pound basis. In deed, many such loans already have been made, and it is Mkely that thou sands upon thousands of bales will be retired this week. Georgia, through its National Cur rency Association, Is using 25 per cent of all the emergency currency is sued in the nine cotton states. Eight •million dollars more will come to Georgia as fast as it.is needed for the cotton handling. A statement issued by the executive committee of the organization shows that 02 of the state's 115 national banks are members of the National Currency Association and their re sources entitle them to put nearly six teen million dollars Jn circulation based on cotton and com/hercial paper. More than half have already availed them selves of their full quota. The difficulty just now, as shown by President L. G. Council of the Geor gia Bankers Association, Is that farm ers are holding a great deal of cotton on their farms, where it will suffer great, damage by weather, and at the same time It should he stored In ware houses, certificates issued for it, and creditors paid off. Farmers who are thus holding their cotton privately are clogging the channels of money circu lation and at the same time running the risk of losses through deteriora tion. The fact that they borrow mon ey at six cents ddes not mean a. sale at tint price. They are at liberty to sell at any figure they can get and at any time they desire.
