Salaries Of 1884.

When one considers that the saia-
ries of government clerks earning
between $1,000 and $1,000 was fixed
in 1854 and that the grades and COM
pensation have remained at this fixed
limit up to the present day, It must
appear that some readjustment to
conform to 1916 conditions is neees-
sary. ,
No one will deny that the cost of
maintaining family today is near
ly double what it was in 1854. Those
who attempt to deny it may refer to
the list price for commodities in the
days before the civil war and the
cost of ordinary necessities today.
The comparison, will answer the ar
gument.
Consider what private enterprises,
conducted on a successful basis, vol
unfairly have rendered to employees
within the last three days before rat
ing the demand of the Federal work
ers for additional compensation as
unjust:
William c. Munschenheim, pro-
prietor of the Hotel Astor in New
York, has insured I,4oo of his en-
ployes with policies ranging from
$500 to $500.
The Jordan-Marsh Company, of
Boston, has introduced a proft-shar-
ing plan that will give the employees
an annual bonus amounting in the
aggregate to over 100000. This is in
addition to I per cent share of the
Christmas sales, and the fact that the
concern has adopted a minimum
wage scale of $S per week for all
employees.
H. P. Maynard, president of the
Brooklyn Trust Company, inclos-
ing check to each of his en-
ployes, says: Having in mind the
greatly increased cost of living,
caused by the world conditions, the
board of trustees has authorized a
special distribution of a certain
amount of its earnings, for which I
hand you this check"
The government cannot give per-
quisites of this kind, but it can rec
ognize faithful and efficient service
by giving increases in salary that in
creased value warrants.
If the efficiency of the various
branches of the government service
was rated on an 1854 basis, Congress
would be the first to make an outcry
for improved conditions. The sala-
ries of the government clerks are on
the 1854 basis. Why not readjust
them to 1916 conditions.

Unarmed Intervention?

There have been numerous reports
that the Mexican Peace Commission,
which has been in session in Atlantic
City, is to adjourn without reaching
an agreement. These reports have
caused some alarm among those who
have been carefully watching the
situation in Mexico and who believe
that little, if any, improvement has
been effected. They fear that the
failure of the commission to reach
an agreement will result in the Mexi-
can tangle being knotted tighter than
ever.
1t seems reasonably certain that
President Wilson can have no inten-
ton of withdrawing the Pershing
forces from Mexico unless some
agreement with Carranza for the
protection of the American border
is reached, and as long as Pershing's
men remain on Mexican territory it
seems that the President, as a mill
tary necessity, must maintain the
guard of militiamen now stationed
along the border to protect PERISH
ing's force.
Despite the fact that there seems
to be no other course open to the
President at this time, there is a
growing resentment in all parts of
the country against the detention Of
the militiamen on the border. This
resentment seems to be assuming the
proportions of a demand that these
men be allowed to return to their
homes, employment and the support
of their families.
The problem that faces the Presi-
dent is to obtain Carranza's guaran-
tee that he will prevent more raids
on American soil and the destruction
of life and property in Mexico by
bandits. Such a guarantee would en-
able the President to withdraw
Pershing and release the militiamen.
If Carranza should keep his agree
ment, the President then would be
in a position to work out some
method of solving the Mexican prob
lem permanently.
However, after weeks of negotia-
tions at Atlantic City, the peace COM
missioners have failed to announce
that Carranza is willing to perform
his part in an effort to restore normal
border conditions. If unofficial re-
ports of the proceedings are to be
credited, the tentative plans for an
agreement have been upset by Senior
Cabrera and the proceedings have
taken no more definite shape than in
the first two weeks of the negotia-
tions.
Without any reason being known
for the failure to reach an agreement,
the question seems to be: Why has
Carranza withheld a guarantee that
he will do his part? The answer may
be that Carranza knows he cannot
fulfill his part of the proposed agree
ment and is not willing to give a
promise that he cannot keep. If this
is true, then the President may be
forced to decide on intervention-not
necessarily armed, but intervention in
the shape of aid that will make it
possible for Carranza to fulfill the
obligations that he owes to this
country

Army and Navy News

Secretary Of War Baker now has two
origadier generals to appoint. The sec
ond vacancy arose with the retirement
on Sunday of Brig. Gen. Robert X.
Evans, commanding one of the brigades
on the Mexican border. At one time Gen.
Evans was military attache at Berlin.
The test of voluntary military service
IN the United States began on November
], when the new enlistment contract went
into effect, says the Conference Commit
tee on National Preparedness. The new
contract Is the most alluring which the
government can grant without getting
far afield from the practical The ad1u-
tant generals department hopes to add
nearly 1900 recruits to the army by
June.
The army heads expect the great test
OF the volunteer system to come In this
period. because the recruiting officers
must go into the most stringent labor
market the country has ever known and
try to induce volunteers to accept $lb q
month in competition with the highest
wages ever paid to American labor.
II this recruiting test fails, says the
Conference Committee, the people OF the
United States will be actually face to face
with the immediate necessity for uni
versal military service. Every test or
public opinion has shown surprisingly
large percentages favoring the adoption
Of universal military service because or
the obvious necessity and because the
duty of national defense is inherent with
citizenship.
The United States navy at present
should have a reserve supply OF 2.oOo,Ooo
barrels of petroleum, in the opinion OF
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy Roose-
welt. Ten years hence, he maintains. the
navy should have 2O.0O0,00O barrels.
Gradually" says Mr.. Roosevelt. "the
supply in tankage at fueling ports Is
being increased. An important factor Is
the construction of additional fuel ships,
SO that the navy may be in a position
to obtain its oil from all the markets OF
the world to its best advantage. Sug-
gestion has even been made that 1t would
be the wiser policy to take care of the
navy's current needs in time Of peace
from oil fields outside the United States,
thus causing less depletion of our own
petroleum fields
continental limits is growing less from
year to year and the number Of available
sources of new supply is necessarily dim
inishing. We already know the general
figures in regard, for instance. to the
Appalachian oil field, and we know also
that the peak of supply has been, or
will soon be. reached in other fields,
and that is not much probability Of dis
covering new fields of the same magni-
tude as those already opened.
From the military point of view. in
fact from the broadest point of view Of
national defense. 1t is absolutely vital
that we should be able to obtain within
our own borders this amount Of oil IL
our navy is to be kept at the highest
point Of efficiency. 1t is perhaps not
strange that the Navy Department has.
therefore, made strenuous efforts to OBJ
tain oil lands sufficient for the navy's
needs.
THE important matter is that the gov
ernment has the right to and must set
aside reserve >oil lands and prevent abb
solutely the taking of oil from these lands
for private purposes"
