J. s. TROOPS PAID HIGHER
 THAN ARMIES
 OF ENTENTES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. lBy MaiD The pay of the American soldier is prmceIy as compared with the pay of the German, and even the British, French and Italian, taking no ac- count of the extras" allowed the American.
 With his quarters, clothing and ra- aons furnished him, as they are fur nisbed in all the armies of the world the American second-cIass private, re- ceiying his foreign-service pay of $38 a month, will be a plutocrat compared with the French soldier who draws the bare pittauce of S1.5O evecy thirty days, scarcely enough to keep the American fighting man in cigarettes Incidentally, Americans are being sup piled the luxury of smokes" by the folks back home"
 Russians Get S2 Cents
 But the French soldiers wage is in its turn, princely compared with the 32 cents a month which the Rus sian government allows its priva.es and the 73 cents which Austria-Hun- gary pays its troops-1 and 2l4 cents a day, respectively
 Great Britain is the most generous of the European governments in the pay of its privates, who receive $76C month at home and an additional allowance while fighting in France lIesopotamia and other foreign fields Italy ranks second in generosity with

900 more than a full general and field marshal in the German army, $2,25O more than a full general of Japan and nearly five times as much as a'Rus- sian general of the highest rank Italy's highest army officer at the be- ginning of this war was a lieutenant general, whose annual compensation was S15O less than that of an Amer. ican major.
 Since the outbreak of the war the French government has revised its scale of pay in the army. The man in the first line trenches now re- ceives a franc a day CSC month) but he is not permitted to draw all of this amount. He is paid partly in cash and for the balance receives a certin- cate of deposit in a reserve fund which is to be disbursed at the end of the war. All those not in the first line trenches receive their 25 centimes G cents a day).

POPE HAS MADE HIS
 LAST PEACE PROPER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. - Official cable dispatches say the Pope has made his last peace prof'er. He be- lieves the war must go on at least two or three years more, unGl the full eff feet of Americas vast power has been felt and either victory or hopeless deadlock in the struggle reached. The Vatican realizes peace or further ne- gotiations at present are impossible.

 A frst-class American private drawing S86 a month, gets $41 year more than a Russian colonel, and S64 year more than a German lieuten- ant for the first three years; $8l a year more than a first lieutenant Of the Austrian army and $l9 a year more than a junior lieutenant in the service of Italy.
 Pay of Second Lieutenant
 The pay of an American second lieutenant (disregarding all allow ances) is $1OO a year greater than that of a lieutenant colonel in the British army, $78 more than that of a full colonel in the French army, $62 more than that of a full German lieutenant colonel of Austrian troops, and only SlOO less than that of 8 major general of the Italian army, the Americans $1 700 would seem a fortune, as the lIuscovite of the highest rank gets only $1,272.
 The pay of an American captain compares favorably with that of a British brigadier general, a German brigadier general, a Japanese lieuten- ant general and an Italian lieutenant general.
 A brigadier general of the Ameri- can army, drawing a minimum sal ary of S6,OOO, receives nearly S24O more than a marshal of France. $2,-

The new quarters will be available to-

Already the new silver half dollar, as
anticipated. has been dressed in gold

The talk Of premiums on five-cent
pieces of the buffalo design is ridiculed
by the bureau ON the mint. There are
two types Of this coin, distinguished only
by bar under the buffalo on the re-

SAYS THE ENTENTE NOTE
AIDS WORLD FEDERATION
George II. Shibley Thinks It Greatest
Event Since the Time
of Christ.

Federation of the world is step
nearer through the new note from the
allies to President Wilson. according to
George H. Shibley, president Of the
League for World Peace.
THE greatest event since the time of
Christ has just taken place. the COM
pletion of an agreement by the warning
alliances and the United States for the
establishment of the federation of the
world" Mr.. Shibley claims, quoting
from The Star of Friday tho following
statement from the entente note: "They
(the allied governments) associate
themselves, with all their hopes. with
the project for the creation of a league
Of nations to insure peace and justice
throughout the world"
This is an official acceptance of the
offer by the United States to them to
enter the needed worldwide interna
tional organization" continued the
president of the League for World
Peace. THE head of the United States
government is authorized to make such
an offer because of the platform on
which he and his colleagues in Con-
gresS were elected this year And as
the central powers had signified their
acceptance of the program the estab-
lishment of the federation of the world
in the near future is assured. The
contract for it's installation is now
