When Gen. Leonard Wood was in
Washington he talked very freely
about the conditions in Cuba. writes
correspondent One OF the interesting
points he made was the expense which
army officers are under, pointing out
that very few officers care to serve in
Cuba simply because the expenses are
so great. II was, of course. known that
all the army officers under Spanish
regime had various ways of securing
money other than their regular salary
allowance. II was stated on good au-
thority before the Spanish war that
every army officer from the captain
general down to first lieutenants had
a way OF securing certain bribes and
rake-offs, perquisites which American
officers never had. never will take, and
which would not be compatible with
service in the United States army. Al
