Ran IA And PAY.


The rise of the cost of living I'm Ger
many is beginning 10 be severely felt by
1.-THE officers of the army and the mem
berS of the civil service. The low pay
of the German lieutenant has long been
proverbial. but even officers Of high rank
are complaining that their salaries are
entirely insufficient, under present con-
ditions, to enable them 10 live in ac-
ccrdance with their social position. The
military authorities. indeed, are fore
seeing difficulties in keeping the army
supplied with its full complement OF
officers. MOltke boosted that Germany
alone had hereditary military caste
from which TO draw the leaders of its
soldiers. but conditions have changed
since his day. The poor nObles nova
days look askance ut profession that
during forty years of peace has afforded
only very slow promotion, the aristo-
cratic prejudice against trade" is
breaking down. and, on the other hand

place them. The same conditions are

General Field Marshal Won der GoltZ
has taken up the question in the
"Deutsche Revue" in an article that

UNITED STATES BONDS FOR N
TESTHENT.

The great success Of the latest bond
sale of the United States government is
Il cause of satisfaction 10 the Secretary
of the Treasury. Mr. MacVeagh has for
some time been advocating the issue of
bonds without the circulation privilege.
and when Congress at last was brought
around TO that way of thinking he had
TO determine the rate of interest which
would be attractive to investors. To do
this required some investigation and
consideration. for in more than a gen
Grafton the United States had>not issued
bonds for which the demand was not
artifcialy stimulated by the privilege Of
issuing banknOtes based upon them. The
Treasury Department fixed 3 per cent as
4 rate Of interest which would he salts
factory to investors Its judgment is
more than justified by the enormous de-
mand disclosed and the handsome pre-
MUM received.
The sale is notable III many respects
aside from the nattering results achieved.
II initiates a new policy Of selling bonds
for general investment, ana its notable
success proves the policy TO be popular
doned. The government has now laid
aside the financial Crutch upon which it
felt compelled TO lean during the Civil
War. when the need of Il better market
for the cOuntry's loans than that afforded
by the demand Of ordinary investors be-
came apparent. and the creation Of the
new national banking system was taken
as an opportunity for providing such II
market once adopted. the system Of
borrowing money from national banks
in consideration Of the privilege accord
ed TO The lenders Of circulating their
notes has proved hard to abandon. The
low rate at which the country has been
able 10 borrow under this plan and the
popularity of the national circulation,
the freedom of which from the uncer
tainties that characterized the old wild
cat" state bank notes was commonly
ascrihed TO the fact that the national
bank notes were based upon government
bonds. together contributed for many
years to keep the government from issu
ing such bonds as Mr. MacNeagh has
just put forth. The defects of the bond
secured currency have at length been
perceived. and this new step of issuing
bonds without the circulation privilege
marks a change IN the public attitude

Washington dispatches, however. talk as
if the difference were solely due 10 the
superior credit of this country. An
other important factor enters into the
high price of the new American issues,
namely, the very small amount Of United

and the consequent relatively active de
mand for them. The flood of foreign in
strumens of credit on the general III

influence in lowering their prices.

NOT ENOUGH RAIN.

Sir: The press have done well to warn

amount to much fear that some of your

month.

indulge i'm the luxury OF daily bath can
get along with one-third Of "A tub I'm place

OF from fifteen to twenty gallons IN each
bathtub. Multiply this by one hundred
thousand. which, | think, Is "A fair estimate
Of the hathtub bathers in private houses.
apartments and hotels and you have a
large amount.
Again, In waiting for hot water for shaw
ing, many have the habit Of wasting per-
haps one-thir1 or even one-half of a bath
tub full before the water Is hot enough
with the approaching water famine We
should have servants bring hot water from
the Kitchen or descend to the dining room
and get a pitcher of hot water from the
dumbwafter. after asking the cook to send
IL up. Here il another illustration OF more
than a million gallons a day.
am surprised that none OF the thirty
taxpayers associations in Manhattan have
passed resolutions urging their members
and friends To stop wasting water
This Is matter that should be taken up
by the Women's Municipal League. the New
York City Federation Of Women, the Pro-
iessiohal Noman's League and similar as
sociations Even the suffrs settes might ind

MORTALITY AMONG INFANTS
Correspondent Thinks Increase Due to
Other Agencies than Poor Milk Supply.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: I see by a communication in your
paper Of recent date that there has been
an increase OF infant mortality during the
last four months over the mortality for the
corresponding period Of the year before.
amounting to % per cent. II is learned
from this communication that the increase
has been attributed TO raw milk and that
the milk producers who supply New York
do not accept the explanation. Indeed II
has not been shown that there Is any de-
terioratlon of the milk supply as compared
with the conditions which prevailed a year
ago 1t is evident then that the increase
of infant mortality must he attributed to
causes that have not yet been mentioned.
There is no showing that the employment
OF public nurses or the activity of settle
ment work has greatly fallen off Indeed,
the increased mortality is concident with
Increased attention to the welfare of the
poor and near poor by the agencies just
mentioned
Increased poverty, owing to the general
disturbance Of business by those who are
attempting to regulate infinitely all human
activities commerce and manufactures,
contributes to infant mortality without
doubt But the fact that infant mortality
