Soldiers to send allots home under new War Risk plan
A July 1 switch in allotments and family allowances speeds government checks to dependents. Every enlisted service member must send $16 monthly to a wife and children, with additional government allowances up to $50. Voluntary allotments to dependent relatives are allowed, with fixed rates, while excess payments shift to the War Department and other services as needed. The Bureau of War Risk Insurance will simplify administration under the new act amendments.
