COM FROM PAYLESS ARMY

wages for the preceding month still
due, but not so the United States
government, the system and regula-
tions being such that if the men had
been paid for July they might have
lost their rights to the June money.
Captain Cooke, the army paymas-
ter, cabled to the paymaster general
for instructions, and was advised" to
suspend all payments until August Is,
when, the cable stated, funds would
probably be available.
s. The suggestion to wait practically
amounted to an order, and so Captain
Cooke spun the combination of his
safe and sat on the lid.
Up to this afternoon he has recefv-
ed no further news, so two and half
months pay is. still due Uncle Sans
boys in khaki. The officers have been
paid for both June and July, so there
are no complications for them

ward, and his party in this city, and
consequently was not mentioned as
among those present at the various
social functions arranged in honor Of
the visitors, Dan Cupid, it appears,
has been travelling with the Eliots
since their departure from the ORR
ent, and the result Is the announce
ment, made in San Francisco, of the
engagement of Miss Ruth Eliot, grand
daughter of the venerable educator,
and his private secretary, Roger
Pierce of Harvard '04. lLs
1t is understood that while here
there were various intimations that
Cupid the Stowaway had been busy
from no less a person than DR.. Eliot
himself, but the formal announcement
of the engagement was reserved until
the party reached San Francisco.
When Pierce heard that DR.. Eliot
would take a secretary with him on
his extended trip, he secured leave of
absence from Houghton, Mifflin & Co.
of Boston and arranged to become a
member of the party.
The young people were thrown to-
gether a great deal from the time the
steamer left New York, and Cupid
had plenty of time in which to ply his
darts. 1t was at Ceylon, where DR..

Such was the semi-official word

again commencing to worry over it's
dinero, or. rather, its lack, of that
commodity. August Is was the date
set for the prying off of a few jingling

of the enlisted men seeing the color
of real money.
The situation is somewhat peculiar,
and the army paymaSter here is dis
tinctly up against it, his hands being
tied by official red tape. The sol
GIers were not paid for June, owing
to the failure of the urgent deficiency
bill to pass, but enough money was
available. to pay them for July. Any
