ALLOTMENTS MAY APPEAR
SMALLER.
Oklahoma dependents of enlisted or
drafted men should not worry in case
their allotment allowance checks from
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance
are reduced in umount or if the checks
should be slow in coming. The July
allotments are not payable until Aug-
ust, and the August allotments until
September.
The reduction in amounts is oue to
a change In the ruling. Hereaftc: the
ltureau will pay allotments only when
they carry with them government
family allowances. All other allot-
ments wil be paid by the branch of
the military or nr.vul service in whicn
the man is enlisted. The minimum of
! $15.00 a month will be paid by the
j War Risk Insurance Bureau, regard-
less of the pay received by the enlist-
ed man. Should any army man for
I instance, wish to allot half of his pay
I as before the excess will be paid by
! the War Department through the
1 uartermaster General. Dependents in
! in doubt should communicate with the
I Home Service Sections of the Ameri-
can Red Cross.

ADMINISTRATION
It le confidently expected that 100,-
000 people will attend the Tulsa r
union. Laat spring some fear was en-
tertained that tho reunion, qn sccount
of pressure of war Intereets, could not
be held and the spring date was Indef-
initely postponed. The Question ol
holding the reunion at a later date
waa taken up with heads of the gov-
ernment at Washington. President
Wilson expressed a desire that the
reunion be held with this approval
the dates were fixed for Sept. 24-27 In-
clusive. -
Director-General McAdoo, in charge
of the railways of the country, at the
request of the Tulsa committee, an
nounced a flat rate of one cent a mile
each way to the veterans and their
families who will attend the meeting
This rate applies also to the Sons ol
Confederate Veterans and their fami-
lies. who hold their reunion at the
same time. This is the lowest rate
ever given to a convention west of
the Mississippi river and will, it Is
believed, encourage a large attend-
ance. ArrlHgements are under way,
therefore, to accommodate a crowd ol
100,000.
President Wilson suggested, If he
did not express the desire, that the
reunion of the ex-Confederates should
be an occasion for patriotic devotion
to the nation while it is at war with
a foreign power. This Idea will be
emphasized at the Tulsa reunion. Res-
olutions will be adopted pledging the
president the hearty and undivided
support of the eouthern and southwest-
ern people in winning the war.
While Tulsa acts the part of host
to the reunion, the favor Is to the en-
tire state of Oklahoma. It Is the first
time the ex-Confederates have come
to Oklahoma with their reunion, and
for this reason greater interest is
manifested throughout the state In
the meeting. The benefits of the meet*
ing will be felt throughout the state.
Return trip on all reunion tickets ia
fixed at thirty days, giving visitors
ample time to make trips from Tulsa
Into other parta of the state. In this
manner the visitors will thoroughly
inform themselves as to Oklahoma's
material wealth and general desirabil-
ity for all lines of business and enter-
prise. To the end that the state may
reap the full benefits of the reunion,
the general committee seeks the co-
operation of the press and leading men
and women In eveiT community.
