thus proposed is experimental, anu congress
must not be surprised should 1t fail 10 produce
the desired effect. 1t IL true that the retained
pay will carry interest and that many oil the
soldiers now make deposits with the pay
master for this purpose. But compulsory
stoppnge OF wages is different matter anu IL
comes during the first year, when the recruits
earnings are at the minimum. and when perhaps
he is most in need Of allthis money, as lie has
accumulated no comforts and portable property.
1t seems little hard. too. that all should be
put to Inconvenience In order to clrcumVent n
few: while whether this retention OF money
will after all keep back the man who Is willing
to risk desertion any way Is question. 1t Is
at least certain not to encourage enllstments
However, the experiment may justify itself
by its fruits. One difficulty in determining its
exact influence may be the dimnution in de-
sertions already made by allowing recruits TO
go free after q certain probation II they do not
like the service There is also something to be
hoped from recruiting in the rural districts
