Small Paw of Austrian Army omccr.

Small PAY of Austrian Army Oficer.
In the Austro-Hungarian army
budget for 1908 there will I've In
cluded a sum of nearly 100000 for
increasing the scale of pay of the
officers, 81 per cent of which will be
appropriated for the benefit of lieut.
tenants and captains.
The Austrian officer. especially OF
the lower ranks. Is very poorly paid,
his colleagues In France. Germany
and even Italy being much better on
I'm this respect. In Austria the
cadets usually enter the army at
about the age OF 20. and as lienten-
ants receive the annual pay OF E7O.
They remain at this figure for six
or seven years. when they are ad-
vanced 20 eS5, the highest rate for
Ilieutenants.
BY the time the officer reaches the
rank OF captain he Is generally 81 or
I3S years old. As captain OF the
second class he receives just e100 n
year. rising to e125 when he Is pro-
NOTED to the first class. captain
he probably remains for ten or twelve
years, and here, at the age OF 80 or
so. many officers end their military
careers and retire upon pensions cal
culated upon this very moderate rate
of nay.
Even I'm the higher ranks the Aus
trlan officers pay compares very un-
favorably with that In other coun-
tries. A major receives e167 a year

e225 and $3.50. colonel e3O0 and
