Law Brakes Scheme FossUrioHis scheme was made possible by
the passage in UM of an act of Con-gress authorising the receipt and careof the savings of enlisted men in thenavy when deposited In sums of netless than 6 with the paymaster uponwhose books their accounts are borneThis not subject to flues bycourt martial or to the debts of thesailor It may not be taken out untilthe depositor Is discharged and isforfeited if he deserts The
guarantees Neal payment withinterest at 4 per cent
Under this provision the deposits efsavings of enlisted men amounted lastyear to MdM The repaymentsamounted to tfR244396 This left to-
