The soldier would have the ad-
vantage ot being able at all times
and under all circumstances to draw
something from any quartermaster
in whose dlstrlot he might find him
self. - . .
The proposed aystem would elim
inate the preaent necessity ot having
on hand each soldier's service re
cord whenever he draws any money.
The aervlca record aystem, designed
for times of peace, does not take In
to account the frequent ahltta which
alt military . men must be prepared
for. In many Instancea nowadays
It works hardships on Individual
men who are transferred faater than
their service records can follow them
and who conaequently cannot draw
their money when It Is due, merely
because the formalities cannot be
complied with..
The proposed new system appeala
aa specially advantageous for camps
where there are constantly large
numbers ot "casuals" atraya be
longing to dosena and acorea of or
ganisations waiting to join their out
fits yet unable to draw what money
la due them until the ' service re
