and the oficer. II the facts were warranted dis.
missed from the service An inquiry at the War
department to- by STAR reporter developed
the fact that it had been decided to investigate all
such cases and bring the offenders to punishment
AS an offlcial remarked:
AFTER one or two army officers have been court
mart1aled and dismissed from the service this sort
OF thing will be stopped"
The habit of duplicating pay accounts is not OF
recent growth. neither is there mania at present
among army of1cers to be dishonest The recent
action OF the War department In attempting TO
abolish the entire practice has led to the discov-
cry OF number OF cases in short space OF time,
and it would seem that the practice was very gen.
eral In the army.
A prominent army official told a STAR reporter
to-day that such was not the case. "The rule re-
Gently made requiring paymasters to make more
frequent reports has the effect OF bringing cases
TO light that would perhaps never have been
known. The custom OF living one month ahead is
not unusual with army officers, and in many cases
there Is no intention OF being dishonest They
simply use the faith OF the government with the
intention OF meeting their obligations"
In navy circles there are no such cases, for the
reason that the assignment OF pay is not recog-
nzed Each Omcer must draw HIS pay himself or
give power OF attorney in cases OF sickness In
the army the assignment OF pay Is recognized be-
cause or the difficulty sometimes experienced Of
reaching the paymaster. 1t is probable, however,
that there will be some modification OF these regu-
lattOnS
