Pay ARMY MORE
is PLEA OF TAFT
SMALL SALARIES TO BLAME FOR
SHORTAGE IN RANKS, HE
SAYS.
MAKE SOLDlERY LIFE WORK.
Secretary Favors Relieving Men Of
Drudgery and Offering Rewards
for Proficiency and Service.
WAR CHIEF IN ANNUAL REPORT.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. g.
Secretary Taft is a strong advocate of
increased pay for the army and his an
nual report, just sent to Congress, COM
pletely dispels any doubt that may exist
as to the secretary's position. The re-
port begins with a formidable present.
ment of figures showing the rapid de-
crease in the strength of the regular
army in recent years (the loss last year
being no less than 1923 menl and the
pressing need for officers to replace
those now detailed on recruiting duty or
as military instructors in educational in
situations. The secretary declares that
while many reasons have been advanced
to explain the difficulty a sufficient one
is to be found in the inadequaey of army
pay.
More Pay for Privates.
81 think it quite probable. he says,
that an increase in the pay of the en-
listed men, including considerable addi
tional inducement for men to re-enlist
and such reasonable increase in the pay
of noncommissioned officers as would
stimulate men to remain in the service
and to qualify themselves for these
higher positions, would have a markedly
beneficial effect upon. the recruitment of
the army.
So the secretary earnestly favors the
adoption for the army of the naval sys-
tenn, under which the President is au-
thorized to fix the rates of pay within de-
fined limits, as a means of obtaining a
better discipline aud a higher efficiency.
Relieve Men of DrudgeIy.
He also recommends the creation of a
general service corps to relieve the SOL
diers of the vast amount of unmilitary
work they are now called upon to per-
form. In his opinion, the military serv-
ice should be so attractive and desirable
that it will not be difficult to get and
hold the class of men needed for the en-
listed personnel, and to make army serv-
ice a life work, as it used to be, by Of
fering rewards for proficiency and great
er increase of pay for length of service.
The regular army last year lost. 139
officers and 26,31O enlisted men, and, al
though it was a year of peace, II of the
officers and 1853 of the men were killed
in action or died of wounds and disease.

A Versatile Musician.

There was mo halfway work" about
Abner Riggs praise for anything he ap-
proved Consequently, the person who
asked him about his niece's musical
ability was prepared for an enthusi-
astic answer.
"That girl is chock-full O. music" an
nounced Mr.. Riggs, "chock-full and run
ming over with it. In my opinion, she
will be the greatest musician that's
ever come out of New England, If not
of these United States.
"Sings like bird, plays the piano,
melodeon, pipe-organ, banjo and guitar.
Most anything that can be played, that
girl plays fright off, as you might
say. Lately she's taken up the fiddle
and the cornet, and she's doing fine
work with both of 'em.''
"She must be remarkably gifted"
said the listener. us her voice So
prano or contractor"
Either" said Mr. Riggs, promptly,
"just according to what's wanted and
the nature Of the song; she's got both
qualities. And as for playing well,
now, I'll tell you, that girl can get
more music out of an iron spoon and
a tin dipper than most could out Of
the best harmonica that was ever
made ~

TREE-DEsTRoYING RIVER.
Western Stream that Chews UP the
Growth Along the Banks.

Western Stream that Chews UP the
Growth Along the Banks.
The ella river enters the Colorado
just west Of Yuma, and we crossed it's
angry waters through a maze Of eddies
and whirlpools through which immense
quantities of driftwood were whirling
in mad race, says a writer in Har-
per's Magazine Escaping the worst Of
the turmoil we reached the town at
racing speed and made triumphant
landing with half our journey accom-
plished.
At most places along shore the river
had reached the line Of older growths
and was leveling the larger trees by
hundreds wherever a bend of the river
directed the force Of the current against
the far shore. Trees ten inches in diam
eter and twenty to thirty feet high were
constantly topping into the Unsuitable
river.
The fall of these larger trees was
always graceful. The first intimation
Of it was a distinct SILVER that ran
I1IC SuIIIV IICC, UuI was uO0I
marked in the upper branches; mo-
ment later the tree would bend grace
fully forward as if bowling to it's
enemy. An instant's pause and it
would sink slowly into the rushing
waters that had reached to the loosened
and inshore roots.
Tree after tree of this large growth
would start down the river broadside
to the current Slowly at first it would
roll over and over tangling it's branches
into great skeleton wheel, rolling fast
err and faster as the branches became
more impacted and presented fewer
projecting points to catch and hold a
moment in the shallower reaches.
Eventually the branches would be worn
off in such progress, leaving only the
tougher roots to retard it. Then the de-
nuded tree would give up the struggle,
and whirling into the line of least re-
sistance, would float head on down
stream until caught by the spreading
roots in some shallow.

TO REVOLUTIONIZE WAR
Mile-a- Minute Torpedo Boat and
New Motive Power

NEW YORK, Jan. Ga new torpedo
boat that will hurl itself at a battle
ship hull faster than mile a minute.
A new submarine torpedo boat that will
bore a path beneath the surface of the
water at the rate of sixty miles an
hour.
A new motive power-motorite-to
propel the torpedo and the torpedo boat,
so powerful that if necessary it will
shoot them rocket-like out of the sea-
This trinity of inventions, evolved to-
gether. patented side by side by Hudson
Maxim and announced by the inventor
himself, will put at the disposal of the
United States government the most de-
structive means of naval warfare pos
sessed by any nation in the world.
After more than two years of con-
s+ant experiment, the famous inventor
of smokeless powder and Maximite has
50 far perfected these three engines of
war that he has just applied for letters
patent and notified the government of
his success.

COUNT OKUMA
WAS MISQUOTED..
When Asked to Explain Count Says He
Did Not Urge Uprising in
India.

TOXIC, Jan. IA remarkable situa-
ton has arisen as a result of the publ
cation in London of mistranslation of
the speech delivered by Count Okuma at
Kobe. Little attention was paid to this
address at the time of it's delivery be-
cause Count Okuma, in previous speech
es ON this same subject had made his
views we'll known. The London publ
cation put the count in the position of
urging India to rise against Great Brit
ain.
Count Okuma and the japanese for
eign office have been bombarded with
cablegrams of inquiry from Paris, Ber
lin, st. Petersburg, and London, and re-
quests that the count publicly repudiate
or confirm his remarks.
Count Makes Statement.
In reply Count Okuma said today:
I'm my Kobe speech | did not use
the words that were put into my mouth.
1t is apparent that a mistranSlatiOn of
these remarks has just reached Eng
land. My views on the subject of trade
with India, as well as my 'friendliness
to Great Britain, ought to be too we'll
known to make it necessary for me pub
licly to repudiate the absurd construction
which has been placed upon the remarks
| made at Kobe.
Even Urged Competition.
81 have never entertained a thought
which could be stretched into such a
meaning. India offers us fine field
for trade, and | urged my people openly
and consistently to enter that field in

EVERYBODY is REPORTED WELL
Big Boats Boilers Give Way and with
Bad Weather Vessel Is Seri-

SEEK IRISH COAST FOR SAFETY.

QUEENSTOWN, Jan. THE long
overdue steamer Mount Royal steamed
slowly into Queenstown today, and the
news of her safety was received with
gladness IN shipping circles. She had
not been heard from in many days, hay
ing been last reported off the Lizard
December 10, and watch was being kept
for her on both sides of the Atlantic
and as far south as Bermuda.
Vessel Definitely Signalled.
The Mount Royal belongs to the
Canadian Pacific Railway Atlantic serv-
Ice. She left Antwerp December Z for
st. John, n, B. She had on board 300
about 100 men. She was first definitely
sighted off Old Head of Kinsale, sixteen
miles west of this port, early today. She
then was proceeding slowly under her
own steam and signalled that she was
coming in here. She declined the help of
a tug that was sent out to assist her and
came III alone.
Boilers Cause of Trouble.
Trouble with her boilers was the rea
son the Mount Royal had to put back.
She is at best a slow boat and shortly
after leaving the British coast she e en-

battled with the heavy weather for a.

serious trouble with her boilers devel-,

The engine room staff ultimately sue
ceeded in obtaining a moderate supply of!
steam, but the weather was such that.
the captain reluctantly decided it was
best to make for the Irish coast. Con
seQuently, the steamer was headed about
and steamed slowly into port. Passengers
