PAY AND ALLOWANCES OF CANADIAN MILITARY AND NAVAL FORCES IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The paper studies the Canadian government’s policy in the field of material support for volunteers who enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces and the Navy during the First World War. It limits the chronological scope of the work to the period of August 4, 1914 – August 29, 1917. On August 4, 1914 Canada's entry into the war, and on August 29, 1917 the universal conscription was introduced in the country. In fact, it limits the presentation of events to the spring of 1916, when the basics of material support for Canadian volunteers were finally settled. It traced the evolution of government policy in the field of assigning monetary allowances to persons who served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force and in the Navy. It paid particular attention to legislative measures for the material support of volunteers. In general, during the First World War, material support for volunteers of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces and Navy was an integral part of the social policy pursued by the dominion authorities. It represented a system of measures aimed at compensating these categories of the population for the restrictions and hardships of military service, and to some extent raised the prestige of military service in society. It also represented an important basis for maintaining the morale of the troops at a high level and instilled in them confidence that the state guaranteed material support for their lives and everyday life.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
