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.
