TAKES LIBRARY FUNDS
CORPORAL WILSON MISSING FROM
FORT SMELLING - SERGEANT
ELHMANN ALSO GONE.

Corporal Tom Wilson is missing from
Company I, Fort Smelling, and about
$50 subscribed by members of the COM
paDy to increase the company library
is missing with him. First Sergeant
Ehlmann of Company G is also
issing. and is supposed to be with Will
son. Lieutenant Snyder, Sixth infan-
for not paying to Ehlmann money due
the latter, who was considered model
soldier. Wilson owed money, it is said,
to various members of the company.
-Four men are missing from Company B.
The problem Of desertion is a grave
the best. men in the army are studying
the subject to find, if possible, the
cause and cure of the evil. A Smelling
officer says that probably the best rem
edy would be to make the first enlist
ment for only one year, with option on
the part of the soldier of taking his
discharge at the end of one year, and
having unsatisfactory men discharged
at the end of the first year. with good
characters, but as unified for the mil
itary service.' The pay of the soldier
is small, as measured by business con-
ditions, of course; but that is not be-
lieved to be the cause of desertion, he
says. A great many men forfeit
good part of their pay in small fines,
for missing roll calls, absenting them
selves without leave, and similar things.
After while, failing to have enough
pocket money, some of these chronic Of.
Tenders swell the list of deserters. If
the summary courts were authorized
to cause such fines to be held back by
paymasters, to be paid to such men on
honorable discharge, it would have a
much better effect than to take their
money from them, as at present. Such
forfeited money goes to the support Of
homes for disabled soldiers.
