1347. ALLOTMENTS (revised by Act of Congress, October, 1917).
The new law does away with future pensions. Allotments may be made to:
1. Family.
2. Bank.

For married men or those with dependents, such as children, parents
divorced wives, whose support is required by court order, allotments
are compulsory, and must not be less than $15 a month and not more
than one-half of his pay. The Company Commander is responsible for
finding who comes under this rule. By this arrangement soldiers cannot
shirk the support of dependents.
The government will double the amount allotted by each soldier, to a
limit of $37.50 a month. In cases where the soldier allots half of his
pay the government will add to the allotment according to the
following scale, even though it more than doubles the amount paid by
the soldier:

Class A.
Wife, no child, $15.
Wife, one child, $25.
Wife, two children, $32.50.
For each additional child, $5 more.
No wife living, one child, $5.
Two children, $12.50.
Three children, $20.
Four children, $30.
For each additional child, $5.
Class B.
One parent, $10.
Two parents, $20.
Each grandchild, brother, sister or additional dependent, $5.
Nurses can make allotment.

When both A and B classes are in need of allotment from a soldier's
pay, and he has allotted half of his pay to Class A, he may allot an
additional one-seventh of his pay for the support of Class B
dependents, and the governmen
