PAY BILLS PRosPEcTs-The War Depart
ment officials have learned with considerable salts
faction, OF the plan of the chairman of the House
Military Committee to incorporate in the army ap-
preparation act the provision to Increase the pay OF
the personnel of the military establishment Some
of them had feared that the proposition was IN
definitely shelved at least in the Senate and it IS
by no means certain that the provision for the IN
crease of army pay will result in an increase OF
navy pay. In fact, it is believed by those in charge
of legislation that the enlisted force of the navy
does not deserve the increase as much as the en-
listed men of the army. The Assistant secretary
Of War has been making a calculation. and now
finds that the average of the enlisted men o'
the army is SIT % month. while the average pay
of the naval enlisted force is s33 month Inc ois-
inclination of Congress to allow the Presideht %
fix the army pay is depIored at the War Depart
,,on. and Assistant Secretary Oliver has sent a
letter to Congress saying that it would be IN the
interest of the service to have the Presldeh1 pre-
scribe enlisted pay. The President does that no"
to some extent in prescribing the ration anu III
providing for the clothing allowance 1t is hoped
to induce Congress to authorize the President 10 NIX
