HIGHER WAGES NEEDED
TO GET GOOD SOLDIERS
Army "Rookies" a Poor
Lot, Funston Reports.
BlAMES 1T ALL ON THE PAY
Says It's Remarkable When Good Men
Re-enlist OF Even Get Into
the Service.

Better pay for enlisted men as the
only means of improving the character
OF United States soldiers is the opinion
OF Gen. Frederick Funston, commanding
the Department Of the Columbia In his
annual report 70 the War Department
made public yesterday, General Funston
,-es the following plea for the en-
I'd men:
ITO get and keep good class OF men
there must be a radical increase in the
pay of the rank and file There is no
Disgusting the fact that recruits are OBJ
tanned with difficulty. and that the most
OF them are not of satisfactory quality
Very few men re-enlist, while the num-
Der OF assertions and dishonorable dis
charges is phenomenal.
The Government, cannot get some
thing for nothing, any more than a rail-
road company or manufacturing concern
can. When there is considered the
amount of work they are required TO do
and the degree of intelligence necessary
for the proper performance of their du-
ties, the pay OF the enlisted men OF the
army Is ridiculously small The wonder
Is, not that so few men enlist and that
so small percentage OF them re-enlist
after three years. but that we obtain
and keep so many really good men as
We do"
The report reviews the conditions OF
troops and barracks at the posts of the
far Northwest, including those of Alas

an Inspection tour last spring. He
praises enthusiastically the work of the
signal corps for successfully accom-

OPPOSE STATUE OF LEE
BECAUSE OF UNIFORM
Confederate Garb Draws
Fire of Critics.
VIRGlNlANS PROVE INSlSTENT
Chairman Halsey Says Commission
Will Accept Design of Favorite
Son as a General.

With determination on the part OF
the members OF the Lee statue commits
sion to accept design for Statuary
Hall in the United States Capitol. show
ing the great Southern leader In the
uniform of a Confederate officer. it is
believed here the opposition to the &C
ceptance of the statue will become more
pronounced than ever.
State Senator Don p. Halsey. OF Vir-
ginia, chairman of the commission. has
confirmed the report that the commits
sion will accept the design representing
Lee as a Confederate general. He de-
tends the action of the commission on
the ground that 1t was by Lees leader
ship in the civil war that he endearei
himself to all VirginIans and earned the
title Of "favorite SON." Lees one other
claim to fame Is the fact that he was
at one time president Of the Washington
and Lee University and that position
would not Justify his selection for the
honor to be bestowed upon two of Viz
ginias "favorite sons
The first protest against the placing
of statue of General Lee in Statuary
Hall Is said to have been made by mes1-
though several organizations throughout
the country have laid claim to the dis
tinction of having been first to open
hostilIties 1t was believed by the vet
eran corps which had taken action
against permitting the statue Of Lee TO
be placed in the Capitol that the ma
tionaI @. A. r. encampment at san
Francisco would adopt a resolution OF
protest but instead, a large number OF
the delegates to the encampment de-
cIared against interfering with Vir-
ginia's selection, and the question was
not raised.
Virginia statesmen have protested
against the right of any organization 10
stand in the way of the selection OF
Lee for a position in Statuary Hail. In
support OF that position they have
quoted the act Of Congress inviting the
different States of the Union TO pre-
sent their offerings. 1t Is suggested IN
| the act that any man may be selected
who had been prominent in pubic Ire
as a soldier. statesman. Jurist. inven-
/ tor. author, or IN any other following
which gives his name the right 10 eul-
ogv over that of his fellow-men or MS
native State
Each state has the right to place two
statues in the hall. Congress has ne
authority to accept OF reject, according
to the argument of Virginia statesmen
and friends of the movement elsewhere
and that II the statue OF Lee Is KEEP
from the hall il must be because OF new
legislation. II is not believed here ina
any change which would discriminate
against members of the ConfederacA
could pass Congress.

The refusal Of President Roosevelt
20 reinstate United States Marshal FREQ
A. Field, of Vermont, who was dis
missed because he allowed three Chinese
under sentence Of deportation to slip
through his fingers. is said to signify
a good deal more than appears on the
surface. The dismissal indicates the
purpose Of the Administration to en-
force the Chinese exclusion law to the
letter, and Marshal Fields dismissal is
intended to serve as a sharp example
that the carelessness shown by many
officers IN carrying out the exclusion
law will not hereafter be tolerated.
There is reason TO believe the dismiss
sal of Field was brought about. or at
least heartily favored. by officials OF the

of Chinese immigrants. These officers
