WOULD MORE PAR STOP DEsERT1oNs,

WOULD MORE PAY STOP DESERTIONSi
In urging the passage of bill, now
pending in congress, for increased pay
for the officers and enlisted men of
the army, advocates of the measure
are using the argument that such leg
islation would lessen the number of
assertions, which last year reached a
total of per cent of the enlisted men.
Attention is called to the fact that no
law has been enacted since 1870 af-
fecting the pay of the army, while in
that time the pay of skilled laborers
has been increased from so to 100 per
cent. The pay of enlisted men In the
army Is VIGOROUSLY small and has not
kept pace with the increase In pay of
men and workmen in civil life, while
the cost Of living, clothing and sup
plies bought by them has increased,
but, 1t does not follow that assertions
are due mainly to this cause. 1t is
desirable, also, that the personnel of
the army should be of high standard,
but 1t is doubted If substantial i'm
provement in this direction would be
found in a law increasing the pay of
the soldier.
The fact is that the American SOL
der in the ranks is a volunteer and
not a professional. The flower of
American manhood is always eager to
respond to the call to arms in time of
danger, ready to fight for the flag at
home or abroad, without thought OF
the compensation for his services. The
American is a soldier when there is
fighting to be done, but his enthusiasm
flags and fails when the peace protocol
is signed. His restless, energetic ma
ture revolts against the dull routine
of barracks life and he seeks release
by desertion, II no other course is open
The soldier of the regular army may
! be entitled to larger pay, but granting
it will not in itself In times of peace
stop assertions among the young men
the men who find contentment only
in fighting or working.

The resolution introduced into con-

so many naval officers should be ac-
