How British Ex -Sailors Will Make
Their Re -Entrance Into the
Civiliaa
The demmobilization of the Navy
will be a busy time for those con-
cerned with the preparation of the
varicose documents, and with the ex-
ecution of the procedure neeessary for
the release of the different classes of
mere Says a Londou newspaper. Many
innovatioos will be encountered by
the clerical staff, but all of them are
Lor the better.
Before the war, the discharge of
men to the ehore was it simple pro-
- cess for the paymaster and his staff.
re
Thewas only active service ratings
and occasional reeervists to be dealt
with. The man of the Royal Navy
mopes signed an for --a period d
twelve years' service, at the end of
which he was free to sever his con-
zection with the Navy, but withant
pension. If he' was a man of good
character he had the alternative of
signing on for a further ten years—
i.e., until the age ef forty, when he
was entitled to leave the Seri:ice with
it pension. Then there were the ra-
ther exceptional cases of men who
were diseliarged "Service no longer
required," or Pho purchaeed their
discharge to obtain more congenial
employment ashore.
In Pre -War Days.
In all these ease' the procedure wee '
much the same, . The men fell in. at
. I
, the ship's office and reeeived their
pay, to width was added the sum
realized by the auction of their ,Idt;
they then passed along to the cap- I
tables taco, where they wete handed
their Service certifleates, a railway
pass to their homes,with a meal
al-
iowance for their journey; awl, then, !
unless they joined the Fleet Reserve,
the Navy said geed -bye to them.
The paymaster closedtheir ae- •
ceents, forwarded their National
Health Certificates to the Admiralty,
and other men were drafted to the
shin they had left in their place. i
. Uneer this system no arrangements •
were made for the Intere of unpen- .
sienrd num. - The, rating:A discharged .
tt the, *mei of. twelve yeeIee' service
were often smart men wha had de- '
eitled to hotter themselves; these were
a -distinct loss to the service. They I.
were generally helped by the Navy j
EmPloyment Agency, or some similar
institution; often thesr obtained good
Sobs on their own initiative.. The I
others—men unwilling, or not allowed
to re-engage, or men who had earned
it very small pension at the end of
.their twenty-two years, or men inval-
ided just found themselves adrift in
a sailor's suit, with a few pounds in
their • pockets and a 'railway pass. -
On the other' hand, the men of the
reserves and coastguard who were
called up for fourteen or twenty-eight
days' annual training were able Ib
return to their civilian work at Once,
so their -discharge involved no hard-
ship.
• The New System.
But during the war the naval per-
sonnel has ° (sewn from 1.20,000 to
some 500,000. Apart from the men
of the Navy proper, there are pen-
sioners, Fleet Reserve, Royal Naval
Reserve, R.N.V.R, coastguards men
for "Hostilities only," men of the
trawler section, mercantile ratings,
and the Australian, Canadian, and
South African branches of our naval
forces, all serving afloat uuder differ-
ent systems of pay and different
agreements.
Unlike the soldiers, the sailors were
not called up in groups, but entered
voluntarily, for the most part, under ,
special engagements. The extracting
of the balanegof pay due to each man '
will be no light task, and, in addition,
each will be furnished with a civil'
employment form, a protection and
identity catificate, a demobilization
ration-hook—all of them war innova-
tions -
Equally necessmy are some further
arrangements which have been made
fOr the well-being of the discharged
sailor. After dispersal front shin or
barracks he will receive twenty-eight
days' leave be,foro.his final discharge,
during which period he will be paid
leave allowance at the rate o! 2s. Id.
per diera. Before the war, leave
allowance was but eetde it day, and
was not credited in these circum-
,
stances. 'Before he 'goes home the
sailor will receive a sum o 12s.
6d.; to,provide himself with a civilian
suit; an overcoat will be loaned him,
if necessary; and he will be provided
with food for his free journey.

Lord George 'Wellesley said at a
luncheon:
"One result of this war -will be
that the English workingman will be
better paid. He'll be content ne longer
with his wages of the past.
"The English workingman is show-

have a better share of the good things
his labor creates. I know it lady who,
when the submarine crisis was at its
worst, lectnred in the east end of

them in a casserole with salt and pep-
per, an onion end—'

front seat. He was pointing his long
forefinger at the lady and scowling.
"'Wait e bit, ma'am!' he repeated.
`What I want to know is; -who gets
the cod?' "
