SMITHS REPORT.
The Paymaster-G General Makes His Annual
Statement.


WASHINGTON, Nov. l7-Paymaster
General Smith, in his annual report to
the secretary Of war, calls attention to
the fact that the soldiers deposits have
increased S79,5s. during the year, a
gratifying increase in view of the fact
that the deposits had been falling of
in preceding years, and of the further
fact that n soldier with a deposit ac-
count rarely leaves the service without
an honorable discharge. The expend.
itures on account Of the pay Of the
army show an increase Of Sa75,65 over
the preceding year, due, in part, to the
fact that the enlisted force was more
nearly kept at its maximum limit. The
fact that the expenditures on account
Of pay of volunteers were Sio3,6 $50 less
than last year is taken as an indication
that these claims are being exhausted.
The paymaster-general questions the
beneficial effects Of the system Of with
holding a portion Of the soldiers pay
until he is DISCHARGED. The travel al-
lowance Of the soldier is ample to take
him home when discharged and II is
not necessary TO withhold pay for that
purpose. Any system which makes the
soldier dependent detracts from
his manhood and efficiency. Many men
enlist being told that their pay
will be Sl3 per month, only to find
that, through deductions on account
of clothing and withhold pay, two or
three months must elapse before he
can receive any pay. lie regards this
as a breach of contract and deserts
Therefore, II is recommended that the
system, which is cumbersome, compli-
Gated and absolute, be abolished, 1t is
also recommended that there be but
one common pay chest for the army,
and that all disbursements be made
through the bonded officers Of the puy
corps, instead Of being divided up be-
tween non-bonded disbursing officers,
who last year distributed half Of the
army APPROXIMATIONS.

HURT BY MISMANAGEMENT
American Railroad Securities In Ind Odor
In Europe.

III EUROPE
WASHINGTON, Nov. Frank II,
Mason, United states consul-general
Mt Frankfort, In special report
to the state department states
that American railway securities
have fallen into bad odor In Germany
and endeavors TO point out the
reasons therefor and suggest meas
ures for rchabilitating them in
the financial world. lie says that
in Frankfort, which was the first
European money market TO accept
United States bonds during the dark
days OF the civil war and where Ameri.
can investments had been popular, not
only are new securities refused because
Of American origin, but railroad bonds
and stocks had for years been returned
TO America and their proceeds invest
ed in less remuncrative Prusslan con-
soils and other standard securities
backed by government credit and
supervision.
The consul-general says "Tho cloud
which overshadows American railway
securities in Germany has been caused
mainly by the revelations Of the past
two years concerning the management
of several leading railway properties.
