eral got bill passed advancing each
of them to the next higher grade. That
was done so as to ''equalize" the pay
Of retired officers. After they were
retired law was passed that there
after all who had served In the civil
war, when retired, should be retired
in the next higher grade than that in
which they had been serving while on
the active list. The officers who were
retired before that act was passed got
together and had Congress make pro-
vision for them.
The least any of these 900 retired
general officers of the Navy receives
Is Si125. The least any of them will
receive should the proposed increase
he made in salaries will be $4,000 or
$i995 to be exact. The officers have
heen fguring>on how they should get
the increases for three years past. Be-
fore that time Army officers devoted
most of their lobbying energies to get
ling equal pay for the naval officers
AS soon as that was accomplished they
began figuring on how to get increases.
BY various means they got increases
IN allowances-salary and longevity
pay being not the only income the
officers receive from the Government
but these increased allowances, or ad-
justments as they have been called,
amounted to but very little.
Desertions by enlisted men and the
increased cost of living are the two
things that have afforded fine excuse
for making demand for larger pay.
Every general officer in making re-
port for year or more, has called at
tention to the marked increase in de-
sertions. Practically all of them have
advocated restoration of the canteen
and an increase of pay to stop the
wholesale assertions.
So In making up the bill for increas-
ing the salaries of officers the enlisted
man had to come along to carry prac-
tically all the burden. According to
the picture painted by percentages of
increase, the enlisted man Is going to
get the long end of the stick this time
for once in his life. He is to get
an increase of 30 per cent in his pay,
while the lieutenant general is to get
only 10 per cent, the major and briga-
der generals only 10, the colonel. lieu
tenant colonel and major only 20, the
captain and lieutenants only25. while
he, by the big horn spoon, is to stand
on the ton of the heap and get 80 per
cent increase on his $13 month.

For National Defenders

Washington, Aug SLATER two
years of bordering and planning, Of
ficers OF the Army and Navy inter-
ested in getting their own pay in
creased have presented a plan which
meets the approval of President
Roosevelt, Speaker Cannon and Sena-
tor Hale of Maine, who constitute the
only real lawmakers of the country
80 far as legislation for the Army and
the Navy is concerned.
The plan provides for a 10 per cent
increase In the salary of the lieuten-
ant general OF the Army: Is per cent
for major and brigadier generals, col
onels, lieutenant colonies and majors
captains and first and second lieuten-
ants, rs per cent, and for enlisted men
80 per cent, inasmuch as existing law
requires that officers in the Navy
shall be paid the same In correspond
ing grades, the increases apply to
them as well, the nine senior rear ad-
mirals corresponding to major gen.
erals. the nine junior rear admirals to
brigadier general, captains to colonies,
commanders to lieutenant colonel,
lieutenant commanders to majors, sem
Tor lieutenants to captains, junior lieu
tenants to first lieutenants and ensigns
to second licutenants.
INCREASE UNDER NEW TABLE.
Under the new table the lieutenant
general will be increased from $11 900
TO sl2,100. The Navy having no vice
admiral. there is no corresponding
rank in the Army. Major generals
will receive $S615 instead OF $500,
rrigadier generals $685. instead OF
$500.
All officers under the grades of rear
admiral and general receive longevity
pay, which is a 10 per cent increase
over the base pay every FIVE years for
period not exceeding twenty years.
All colonies and lieutenant colonies,
many majors and some captains, hav-
ing served twenty years or more, are
entitled to 40 per cent more than the
base pay, with this limitations: That
