WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The one

General Robert e. Lee was commemo-
rated here tonight under the auspices
of the United Confederate and South
ern Societies Of the District OF Column
bia. The BALLROOM or the New willard
Hotel was filled to overhowing. A pri-

hall, escorted by Spanish War yeter-

dent Roosevelt sent a letter in which
he extolled the virtues of the Con1eo-
eracy's great general. His suggestion
that the centennial anniversary De eel

ASKS HIGHER PAY
FOR SOLDIERS
Funston Makes Comparison
of Officers Salaries and
Wages of Laborers Here
MEN DON'T RE-ENLIST

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-In San
Francisco a bricklayer, plasterer or
plumber receives more pay than cap
tain of twenty years service stationed
at any of the posts near that city. even
considering the latter's quarters at the
communication of his grade. A hodcar-
rier in the same city receives more pay
tnan second lieutenant.
Tnis statement is made by Brigadier
General Funston in his annual report
to the Secretary of War, covering the
latter part of his incumbency as COM
mander of the Department of Califor-
MA He makes q strong plea for an
increase OF army pay-not for the off,
GERS just entering the service, but for
those who had served long. He says:
NO one believes that army officers
should attempt to compete in display
with persons of wealth, but they should
be able to live decently without being
continually harrassed by fear OF debt
or even greater Importance than the
question of officers pay is that of the
enlisted men OF the service, for the
army will always have all OF the off,
GERS authorized by law, regardless Of
pay, but the very existence of the army
is threatened If wages in civil life con-
tinue to rise, unless steps are taken
to increase the pay of the rank and file.
The wonder is that with the wretched
pay offered, the army obtains as good
men as 1t does. But few OF them re-
enlist after their first term Of service,
and many Of them desert in the first
few months. The statement that the
United States soldier is the most poorly
paid man in the country today cannot
be refuted. A so per cent increase in
the pay of noncommissioned officers
and like increase for privates after
their first enlistment. should work a
| revolution"
General Funston found himself much
obstructed in improving the military
posts by the high price of labor in San
Francisco and vicinity Therefore, he
recommends that all construction work
on the army posts be carried on by the
labor OF general prisoners, as was done
| on the barracks on A1catraz Island.
General Funston does not wish any
more big guns on San Francisco Bay.
He says that the crying need is rather
| for auxiliaries, such as searchlights,
| fire control systems, adequate subma-
rine defenses and ammunition reserve.
He says that II would be suicidal for
the most powerful navy of the world
TO engage the seacoast defenses of San
francisco, or to run by them, If they
were adequately manned and the aux
iliaries mentioned were restored.
"As matter of fact" he says, there
are not nearly enough men to man the
existing defenses. Even the pending
artillery bill would not provide suf1-
Client number"
He urges the creation OF a reserve
composed of men returned to civil life
from the army.
