ENLISTED I'm
REGULAR ARMY
John Mahoney and Abraham
Joseph Became u. S. Sol
diers Yesterday.
COL. L. W. COOKE WAS
RECRUITING OFFICER
Some Interesting Facts as to the
Pay Of a Regular
Soldier.

Col. L. W. Cooke, a recruiting
officer of the United States army with
headquarters in Milwaukee, was in
The city yesterday. He enlisted John
Mahoney and Abraham Joseph into
the regular army. They left last
night for Columbus, Ohio. The
young recruits passed an excellent
physical examination under DR.. o. T.
Hougen.
Col. Cooke returned from the
Philippines last August where he
served four years and was promoted
from captain to major. Since his
return to this country he has received
the title OF colonel. He saw active
service in northern and southern
Luzon. He said that since the Philip
pines Islands came into possession
there has been marked improvement
in the government and there is a
general progress among the natives.
The popular fallacy that a soldier
receives but S13 per month ac-
quires an authencity which does the
army a great deal of harm. Army
officers have been combating it for
wears. All the allowances are over
o)ked; the soldiers shelter, food,
clothing, medical attendance, are
counted as nothing. Whether sick or
we'll, his pay goes Oh, his medicines
are gratis, and with the simplest
economy he can, and a large number
do, save from $40 to Sl2 a month; this
means at the end of three years, if he
deposits his savings with the pay
master, from $3.50 to $500 from his pay
alone. The clothing allowance is SO
liberal that many save from % to 80
per cent. which means 500 more.
Then if enlisted in the east and dis
charged at this post, for instance, he
receives four cents mile from place
of discharge to place Of enlistment, SO
that any ordinary man has in three
years saving of $500, more or less.
This also is counting that he has
| straight duty" during his enlistment
as private. If he has trade he is
apt to be On extra duty and receive 80
cents day extra, SO it is not uncom-
| mon to see men drawing from 5000 to
800 on their final statements. The
soldiers ration is most liberal, con-
siSting in part of twenty ounces of
fresh meat, pound of fresh vege-
tables, Is ounces of bread, besides the
coffee, sugar, ETC., day: the profits on
| the exchange go to add to the variety
of his diet. Ii the mechanic or
| aborer can live as we'll as the Ameri-
can soldier and in three years save as
much money he is indeed to be con-
graduated.
