The only prac ticable method, it seems to us, is to fr a uniform scale of separation allowances to which every dependent will be entitled as a matter of course. Any attempt at individual treatment will savour too ouch of charity and result in invidious distinctions which will give rise to dis satisfaction. At the same time, the ques. tion of insuring those who go to the Front deserves consideration, if it be only to provide funds for the repatria of the widowed and fatherless when the war is over.
