by parasites destroying the vitality h

and his companions last saw It, the lava
was deep and damaging. It was predicted
that all the rich soil and the beautiful
beach that interviewed between the valcano
and the sea would be turned into an IRON
bound coast--cod rock and desolation
where had existed the palm and cocoanut
and tropical vegetation for centuries be-
fore. 1t was feared, too. that some of the
best German plantations would be over
whelmed by the flood of lava and that the
German settlement might be wiped out. 1t
appeared certain that Safotu. a village
with 400 inhabitants, would be utterly de-
stroyed, though. of course, the inhabitants
would be able to save themselves.
Brim and his companions were unable to
get closer than half a mile from the cone
of Matautu on account OF the flowing lava.
But this was close enough to enable them
to witness the eruption and appreciate the
awful laundering and roaring that shook
the earth, Twenty miles away an old vol
cano that has for decades been smoldering
broke out afresh when Matautu came into
life, but has caused no damage when Brim
left the island. Savaii is ninety miles from

who gets $1,000 entered the service as a
volunteer in 1879. The 10th captain, half
way down the list, entered the service in
1891 He is nearly 40
The same condition obtains in the other
branches of the service. The captains
are doing very well, but the younger offers,
who are not likely to reach captains rank
for many years must feel the pinch of
actual want many times. il they raise
families.
From 80 to So per cent of the officers
manage in some way to keep out of debt
and struggle along and keep up appear
ances 1t is the rule. and has been for a
long time, that court-martials for getting
into debt are never undertaken unless there
is a deliberate disposition on the part of
an officer to evade payment. There must
be some indication of deliberate fraud.
The men who run into hopeless debt are
usually the extravagant ones who would
get in debt no matter now high their
salaries were, or the unfortunate ones. The
latter are almost never court-martialed
for it.
They struggle along year after year
borrowing money until, with higher rank
and pay and diminishing expenses, they
get cut of the hole. They are always mar
ried. The bachelor on Governors Island, to
whom reference has already been made,
had this to say of these men;
THE strength of the army lies with its
ried officers You can say that,
and also say that an old bachelor said It.
These men are frugal. Industrious. honest
and Of higher degree of morality than the
clergy itself"
Then with considerable heat this ofncer
exclaimed:
SHOW me a worthless officer and invaria-
bly, 1 will show you an oficer with an
income in addition TO his salary. The more
worthless he is, the larger his private In
come.
'T1 other countries officers go into the
army largely for the distinction It gives.
Most OF them have incomes In our coun-
try it isn't so. Men who enter our service
do so for the calling. and the only living
they get is from the government.
There is no more devoted and self-sac-
rihcing person in the world than the man
who serves his country in the army at an
inadequate salary"
1t was the opi.ion of this man that at
least $500 year more should be added 10
the pay OF second IeutenAnts entering the
army and an increasing addition on a
similar basis should be given to all the
other officers.
