WANT MORF
Troops in Alaska and Guam
 Dissatisfied

1t is probable that an effort will be made by tho army staG to have the military law amended 80 as to allow double pay to soldiers and marines serv- ing in Alaska and Guam, says the Seat tle Times of the 3rd.
 Omcial reports from officers in Alas .la favor such an idea, on the theory that the soldiers there suffer exceed- ingly, owing to the severity of the cli- mate. The cost of living is also exces. sive and workingmen are reported as receiving more in a few days than sol- diers receive in a month.
 Under these conditions it is difficult to preserve contentment among the sol- dlers. A number of cases of insanity among the soldiers have been reported and all are said to be due to their isola- tion and the hardships of the climate.
