40,000 CHECKS UNCALLED FOR

Pay for Members of Naval Reserve Fails to Reach Proper Owners, x Chicago* Aug. 13. —There are at the present time 40,000 checks for retainer pay for members of the naval reserve, which have been returned to the navy department on account of Improper addresses, according to Capt. Edward A. Evers, commanding the Iltinois •Naval militia. Many complaints have been received during the last few months relative to the nonreceipt of retainer pay, Captain Evers says. The reason in most cases, he states, is carelessness on the part of members of the Naval reserve in applying for pay. In addition to the 40,000 which cannot be delivered on account of wrong addresses, there are thousands more which are held up because of certificates being improperly made out. •
