4 LEAVE,

st. Paul, Aug. s0.-During the past
seven weeks sixty-six members of the
Twenty-first regiment of infantry, To-
Gated at Fort Smelling, have deserted
from the regular army, making a
record, so army men say never be-
fore equaled at any post in the United
States. Out Of this number but one
of the deserters has been returned to
the fort.
The largest number Of assertions
came Immediately following the July
payday, when fifty-four members of
the regiment came to st. Paul and
failed to return to the fort.
Following the August payday, an
even dozen are said to have tired Of
the life to such an extent that they
were willing to take chance as de-
serter. Companies G and p lost the
greatest number and Company the
least
Three Months Pay Mt Once.
The large number of assertions fol-
lowing the July payday is accounted
for from the fact that it was the first
payday after the return from the
Philippines, and the soldiers received
three months pay. With this money,
the first they had had in months, the
soldiers came to ST. Paul and INDUCED
in life of dissipation. Rather than
return to the fort after having been
absent several days, the soldiers left
the city, knowing that but little effort
would be made to have them returned.
Company B officer who has been
in the service twenty years says de-
sertions would be reduced to a mini
mum if a canteen could be maintained
at the post.
