VOLUNTEER OFFICERS BILL.
A Plea for Unity Among Comrades.

Editor National Tribune: 1t is inter-
esting to note the difference of opinion
| among comrades relating to the bill
pending to retire the officers of the civil
war and TO provide relief for the help
! less.
| The comrades do not take account of
the fact that all Regular Army officers
were not only retired, but were allowed
a higher grade because of service dur
ing the civil war. It will also appear
! that Regular officers are now retired at
s1,275 for a Second Lieutenant; First
| Lieutenant, $1,000, and Captain, 800,
and after five years service an increase
or about S120 per year for the lowest
grade is given, and this without refer
ence to the fact that the Regular Off
Ger may never have heard a hostile
gun" We submit to the comrades the
