An officers position. however is secure and
continuous good behavior. and the fact that
he is able at sixty-four years Of age to retire
three-fourths of the pay he is then receiving
makes It easier for him to live on his salary
during his active service. Under the present
equitable laws young man entering the army
at from twenty-oue to twenty-five years OF age,
If his conduct be good and he be attentive to
his duty, can count on eventually attaining the
rank OF colonel, the pay of which grade is
1850 a year
The duties Of officers are eXacting, and too
full of responsible work to permit them adding
10 their pay by engaging also in other work
They must. a rule, content themselves with
the allowances they receive. The impression
sometimes expressed, that the office is one of
much leisure, is erroneous, and will disappear
when the subject is inquired into. For the Off
GER as with in every other profession. sue
cess means hard and persistent effort In peace
times officer can always resign, and occa-
sOnally some leave the army for more lucrative
civilian positions 10 fill which their training
and the line of their duty give them a special
aptitude. Such opportunities at times seek oth-
GERS. and when embraced generally result sue
cessfully from financial point of view.
Officers enjoy many social advantages both in
official and unofficial life. In the latter. as is
rightly the case il rests with the offcer-his
~ extended to him by cultured and refined peo-
pie is continued and develops into friendship
The army social life is most attractive. Every
considerable station has its rounds of amuse-
ment and nowhere else more enduring
friendships made of the kind that share sor-
rows and joys alike"
Until the Spanish war. probably weightier ar
guments existed in favor of that against mar
rying. Now the question Of matrimony is quite
different, especially for junior officers Nearly
all officers must count foreign service much
Of which will be in parts where wives cannot
be allowed 10 accompany their husbands and
where the government cannot rightly be expect
ed to furnish quarters suitable for families The
household must then be divided during this ser
vice. Aside from important questions bearing
on the officers efficiency that separation Of this
kind involves, a young officers salary is not
equal TO such demand and this fact alone if
no outside income exists should deter him from
marrying until he can provide properly for
family.
In conclusion, the army offers an honorable
career for soldiers and officers and the pro-
vision the government makes for them is fair
At no previous time in its history has such
varied and interesting service been open to its
soldiers and never before have the officers had
broader fields for employment or more favorable
OPPORTUNITIES for distinction.
