PASS MILITIA PAY BILL.
House Measure Carries AbOut
S6,0OO.OOO n Year.

The House Military Affairs Committee
yesterday favorably reported the militia
pay bill, which is designed to increase
the efficiency OF the National Guard by
compromising the officers and enlisted

ment. Under its terms enlisted men will
receive about s45 a year and captains
will receive about $500 a year The bill
authorizes the Secretary of War to fix
enlistment requirements
The pay OF the Guardsmen Is based
on a percentage on the sum now paid
to officers and enlisted men in the regu-
lar army. The maximum pay to enlisted
men is to be g per cent OF the salary
of privates in the Irregular army. and
enlisted men are required to attend at
least twenty drills a year.
