DEPENDENTS OF FIGHTERS WILL GET BIO HELP Poundstone Explains Law Forcing Soldiers to Pay to Relatives.

By RAMSEY POUNDSTONE More than 600 Wayne county fam-

Hcs are now represented In the army. ; iavy and marine corps of the United j !3ates by proxies. As the war pro- j orsses this list will be steadily aug-j aented. i To thoee of these families who are j wholly or la part dependent upon their ;

'oldler husbands, fathers or sons for support the recently enacted federal statute, known as the War Risk Insursaee law, is of vital Interest. Under the provisions of this Taw soldiers are sompelled to allot half their pay to certain dependents. The law also protides a way for voluntary allotments of soldier's pay for other wholly or partially dependent relatives. In each instance where a soldier makes an allotment of his pay under the provisions of the War Risk Insurance law, tho United States government pledges itself to assist in the financial support of the soldier's dependent, or dependents, out of Its own tnnds. Must Pay to Children. In the case of a soldier who has a wife, or a divorced wife who has not remarried and to whom alimony has

been decreed, and a soldier who has a dependent child or children, he is compelled to make an allotment of his pay to such dependents. Allotment of pay to" other members of his family, wholly or in part dependent upon him for support, is voluntary. With the written consent of a wife or a divorced wife, supported by satisfactory evidence of her ability to support herself and the children in her eustody, tho allotment for her and the children may be waived. The compulsory pay allotment shall rot be moro than one-half pay nor less than $15 per rronth. In the case of a divorced wife thn allotment shall not exceed the .nr.ount of hor alimony. Only a limited review of this important law can be attempted, but tome of its major features can be briefly outlined. It is provided that in case an en

listed man has not made an allotment of at least one-half his pay that the secretary of war, or the secretary of navy, as the case may be, can under authorized regulation?, require euch an enlistpd man to make an allotment of half nay to be deposited to his credit, to be held for him during the period of his enliFtment. and to be paid over to him, or his heirs, principal and Interest, at the conclusion of his enlistment. Start Nsxt Month. The government will not fcejrin the payment of familv allowances until after the f'r?t of next month, such payments to continue until one month afteT the soldier has received his discharge, or until the death of the soldier, providing his death occurs during the term of his enlistment. Soldiers who are compelled to make en allotment of their pay come under Class A. As stated the soldiers in this class must contribute one-half their pav. monthly, to their dependents. Tbe go-emment srpplements such allotments with the following allowances, paid out of government funds: To a wife who has r-o child, $15, which, with the allotment she receives from her husband makes her .total

monthly income S"0. Wife and one child, $25: wife and two children, S32.50. with ?5 per month additional for each additional child, up to $50 per month, which Is

the limit of a government family al-i lowar.ee: no wife, but one child, $5; no wif hut two children. $12.50; no wife but three children, $20: no wife but four children, $30, with $5 a month additional lor each additional child, up to the allowance limit of $50. Soldiers having no wives nor divorced wives, nor children, can provide for parents, brothers, sisters or grandchildren, wholly or in part dependant upon their support, by voluntary allotments of pay. Such dependents come under Class B. Must Pay $15 Monthly If a soldier is making no compulsory allotment to a Class A dependent the minimum allotment he must make for the support of a Class B dependant is $13 per month. If a soldier is making a compulsory allotment to a Class A dependant the 'minimum monthly allotment he shall make-for the support of a Class B dependant is The government's family allowances to Class B dependents will be, per month: One parent, $10: two parents, $20; for each brother, sister and grandchild. ?.

What the Victory Or Defeat of German Means to Every American

By OWEN JOHNSON I have been In close touch with French public opinion, not only through several trips to the front but from a long stay of ten months in Franc? during the last year. If every American could have the same opportunity of realising forhimself why the great French nation in the fourth year of the war despite the devastation done to its territory, the loss to Its manhood and the impoverishment of its women, remains steadfast In its faith, willing to combat for ten years If necessary, there would be but one opinion in America. Franco understands that so long as the German military autocracy exists, with its giant obsession of a German Roman Empire subjecting all other races to the vaunted scientific efficiency of one, German Caesarism intends to destroy democracy without, in crder to throttle It within. A German victory today (and a peace that does not break on the . battleftsTd the German military strength will be a German victory) means that France will have to sacriflce its democratic liberty in order to be constantly mobilized under a centralizing dictatorship. A German victory today means the failure of democracy in Europe and the certainty of our spiritual protectorate over the American hemisphere. Eventually that wo'iPl mean German colonization of South and Central America, with a final, devasting contest forty years hencn between ub and the modern legions of a German Caesar. While the hereditary military conception of government abides In Prussia, the world cannot continue half German and half democracy.

Up to midnight, September 12th, during a period of 8 months, we sold and delivered to tire dealers more United States Tires than we sold to dealers during the entire 12 months of 1916.

This phenomenal sales increase was made notwithstanding our epoch-making sales increases of 1916 over 1915. These record-breaking sales increases of 1917 over 1916 and our record-breaking sales increases of 1916 over 1915 definitely and finally prove three facts: 1. The supremacy of United States Tires. 2. The fact that the vast army of automobile owners who used United States Tires in 1916 are using them in 1917 on the sheer merit of their experience. 3. The fact that another vast army of automobile owners have been1

won over to the use of United States Tires in 1917 on the sheer

jur tires over other tires that they have tried.:
