ARMY PAY IS
INSUFFICIENT
At Least So says Paymaster
General F. S. Dodge.
Statement Seems True of Both
Officers and Privates.
Latter Receive but $13 a Month
-Desertions Numerous.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 15.-The re-
tiring paymaster general of the army,
Francis s. Dodge, whose record as
soldier and paymaster general is
of the kerry first class, sounds clar
ion. note for better pay for both officers
and men of the army and he puts it
into his annual report so that every
member of congress may see the rea-
sons for this increase. The present
pay table of officers has not been
changed since 1870, thirty-six years
ago, and according to General Dodge
there is not community in the coun-
try in which the cost of living has not
in that period increased very consid-
erably, making the salaries fixed in
1870 wholly inadequate for the pro-
per support of officers. He cites to
support his contention for increase
pay the three junior grades in the
infantry. The best pay per annum
for second lieutenant is $1,400; of
first lieutenast $1,5O0; of a cap
tain $1,000. For each five years SER
vice up to twenty years 10 per cent
Is added which is known as long jeo-
pardy pay. From thir salaries thes,
officers must defray all expenses of
living except house rent of themselves
and their families These expenses
include furnishing of houses, purchase
of fuel. cost of table, clothing, educa.
tion of children, servant hire and all
other incidentals in the running of
household. In addition to all these
ordinary expenses an officers uniform
calls for heavy annual expenditure
The moving of his family in his mum.
erous changes of station is serious
tax upon his income. And then comes
again the question of life insurance
which is no small charge. With all
these demands upon an officer in the
junior grade it is obvious that he
must practice great frugality to avoid
financial embarrassment and even
with the utmost economy probably
there are few officers having a family

who are not forced at some time or
other to run into debt to a create.
or less extent.
Equally with officers the pay of the
enlisted men of the army, General
Dodge thinks, Is small compensation
for their services. While the enlisted
soldier is fed, clothed and housed by
the government, our Tommy" Atkins
believes he should get more in the
way of pay than $13 per month, which
is the pay of private. General
Dodge tersely puts it that a discon-
tented army is not an efficient one
and then calls attention to the vary
large number of desertions during the
past year. 1t may not be true that
the matter of poor pay is responsible

INDIANS ARE
HOME AGAIN
Buffalo Bills" Wild West
Show Back From Europe.
Not One of Reds Was Fined
or Ordered to the Reserve.
All are Now at Pine Ridge or
Rosebud, S. D.
BY E. C. SNYDER

Washington, Oct. 15.-Major John
NJ. Burke. the picturesque representa-
tive of Buffalo Bills" wild west
shows has been in Washington for the
past week on matters connected with
the Indian office. Mr.. Burke came
to Washington to report the return
of the Sioux Indians from Pine Ridge
and Rosebud reservations, South Da-
kota, to their homes. Every Indian
was accounted for and during all the
time that they were with Colonel
Cody through continental Europe, no,
one Indian was fined and not one
Indian was sent home which is re-
garded by the Indians as the worst
humiliation that could come to them.
Under the chieftainship OF Iron Tail
the seventy-five Ogalla Sioux who
have been with the wild west show
for the past eight months returned
to their homes in South Dakota hav-
ing seen more of the world than is
vouchsafed seventy-five per cent of
the white men. They were shown
through the lace factories of Brussels.
They saw the sewers of Paris and
they saw the Eiffel tower. The cata-
combs of Rome were to them mar.
vel and Vesuvius belching forth it's
fire and smoke gave them practical
idea of what their inferno meant. For
four years Buffalo Bill" has been
making teachers out of the Sioux
warriors and he has utilized the dis
appearing race to tell to their children
and to teach their associates the mar
vels which the white man has accom-
plished in the old world and made
him unconsciously preacher of
peace throughout the length and
breadth of our great northwest. the
Indians habitat.
During the four years in which
Buffalo Bill" has been in Europe he
has had from sixty to seventy-five
Indians with him, all from the reser-
vations in South Dakota. Some of
these Indians have been with him dur
ing the entire time the wild west
show. which really had its beginnings
In Omaha. was in Europe. They were
the main features of his exhibition
and they We're take neverywhere and
given the very best opportunity of
seeing the seventeen countries which
was visited by Col. Cody during his
absence from these shores. These In
dians were taken to John O. Groutes
where they were photographed, look
ing toward the sun rising over the
northern ocean and to Lands Enc
looking toward the sunset and their
home. These Indians were the sub
ject of the artists of Europe, the
photographers and the cinematograpl.
Their costumes, the customs and their
manners have furnished the savants
of Europe with first hand information.
