THE QUESTION OF PENSIONS.
The British People Can Alford to
11,1 Generons.
When in ;November last the Gov-
ernment issued a revised :scale oF
allowances and pensions for s:.1 -
diets, sailors and marines and their
wives, widows, and dependents',
this snide was .astailed from all
quarters, on the ground tif its utter
inadequacy, ,Accorclingly, on the
muticm Of the Prime Minister, a
select committee was appointed to
consider and report upon the whole
question. 1'11e. CoM.Mit ec-u, re-
markably .strong one -was. repre-
sentative of all political parties.
lt consisted of the Following mem-
bers of Parliament: two Liberals,
Mr. Lloyd George and Mr, McKen-
na, two Unionists, Mr. Bonar Law
and Mr: ahambeTlain, a Labor
member, 1111, Barnes, and an :Irish
Nationalist, Mr. O'Connor. This
committee lhas how issued its re-
port, in which are recommended
egos -Wei -able !advances on the. for.
tiler scale adopted by. the Govern
merit.
No estimate of the nathmal Ea-
bility under the committee's scheme
is given. Under 'the circumstances
ally estimate would be the merest
guesswork. 13n1 it is reasonably
certain that, unless the war ends
sooner than most people anticipate,
the national liability anusb run intu
many hundreds, if not thousands,
of -millions' of dollars. But what-
ever the total, there •ean be no
doubt but that the B-ritish people
desire to .be generous -and fortu-
nately can afford to be so. And yet
even what is proposed is a. mere
pittance if considered 'as anything
like compensation."
For total disablement, in the case
of both sOltliers and sailore-for the
report only .applies to the lower
ranks of the two .services, and• not
to officers and their wives and de-
pendents -the committee proposes
a weekly pension of $3, with the :ad-
ditions of sixty cents for each .child.
In •the case of partial disablement
the committee recommends that
such 10 suan should be granted as,
with the wages whioh the disabled
man is judged :capable of earning,
will amount to $6 a week, Init
no: •case is less than $2.50 a -weak
to be allowed for the loss of 0 111112,
The separation allowances are to be
as follows :
• Soldiers. Sailors,
WI
lo $3.00 $1.74
'and 1 child 4,20 2.40
'
V
Wife, 2' children 5.01 3.12
Wife, 3 •41tii0!ren 5.52 3.50
Wife, 4 ohildren 8,00 3.48
Motherless child 7.20 • 1.20
The reason for the teparation
allowance in the case of sailors be-
ing smaller than thote in the case
of soldiers is, of course, the fact
that in the ordinary course of
things the sailor is away just as
much as he is, during war, 50 that,
Financially, his handy are not more
likely to be straitened now than
then, whereas with the• soldier 11
is different
A soldier's or sailor's widow;
without :children, is -to receive a
W•celnly Pension. of $2.40, to be in-
creased to $3 at the age of 35, and
to OM at 45 years' ;odicl. Widows
with•cibildren are to receive, in
additios to the -weekly pensions- .on
the above scale, $1.20 a week for
the first child eighty-four cents a
reek for the second ehild, and
\forty-eight cents a week for each
subsequent child. 0,n the rernar-
, riage -of any such widow, when her
pension naturally terminates, she
is to receive a gratuity ranging
frean.$2.50 -to $3.74. AlT the above
figures relate only to the lowest
ranks in both 'serYices. The rates
for N.C.O.'s are to be -correspond -

The British submarines, if they
get the -chance, will give as good an
account cif themselves 0.0 have the
Germans, says a writer in Every-

hands of the "young ones," who
are full !if gimp and enthusiasm, a
brOtherituad of daredevils; cousins
of those in the destroyers.
The British submarine 13-11, pass-
ed under five rows •of mines in the
Darda.nelles and sinking the
11114051 Messundiyeh, did only a,
part :of a day's work.
Looking for game, the British
"subs" have pushed 'their snouts
way up in the Baltic, even to the
Russian coast. .And one hint the
