this increase is known in the army
as a ''fogy." Lieutenant-colone and
colonies, however, stop at $4,000 and
$4,000, respectively. The pay of a
brigadier is $4,000, that of a major
general $4,000, respectively Generals
get no "fogys." Officers receive be-
sides quarters, fuel and light.
The pay of enlisted men in time of
peace depends on their grades, ratings
and length of service; it is too COM
plicated to set out at length here.
A private, however, gets a base pay
|of SIS month; a corporal, $21 or
$24; a sergeant, $50 or $36; first SER
geants- all with increases for length
of service. In addition, be it said, all
non-commissioned officers and men
draw clothing, and, of course, are fed.
These rates have been materially
increased during the present emer-
gency. Commencing June /, 1917, and
continuing until the termination of the
emergency, all enlisted men of the
Army of the United States in active
service whose base pay does not ex-
|ceed $21 a month shall receive an
increase of SIS month; those whose
base pay is $24 an increase of $12 a
month; those whose base pay is $50,
$50 or $40, an increase of So a month,
and those whose base pay is $45 or
more, an increase of Sc a month.

ment who had been quoted the often
est for their bravery.

rives. He passes along the line Of two
hundred officers, shaking hands with

More Chaplains Needed
Is CALLED UPON FOR
PRIESTS TO SERVE WITH
THE TROOPS.

The recent decision of the War De
partment to increase Immediately the
number of commissioned chaplains
serving with the army, is wholly indie
pendent of any such increase as it is
hoped to obtain from Congress, during
the present session. The action was
taken under the present law, approved
May 1S, 1917, ITO authorize the Presi-
dent to increase temporarily the Mill
tary Establishments Of the United
States"
The Catholic Army and Navy Chap
lain Bureau at Washington, has been
requested by the War Department to
submit very shortly a list of applicants
for the quota of these chaplains to be
assigned to the Catholic Church, and
the hierarchy of the United States has
been called upon for the names of the
priests, whom they are willing to give
to the service of the country, and who
desire to serve with the troops. 1t is
desirable to present to the Secretary
of War a list containing, at least, the
names of one hundred candidates
available for service
The conditions for appointment of
chaplains to the army are: first. that
the applicant be under forty years OF
age, and physically sound; second
that he be an American citizen by
birth or full naturalization; third, that
if naturalized, his birthplace be not
in enemy territory; fourth, that he
be recommended by his Ordinary, in
a letter addressed to the Secretary OF
War, through Rev. Lewis O'Hern,
Washington, D. C.
The chaplains, commissioned by the
Government, enter the army with the
rank of first lieutenant, and may ad.
vance to the rank of major. Their
salary ranges from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year. Chaplains, commissioned to the
navy, enter as acting chaplains, at a
salary of $4,000, and, after three years
receive commissions as lieutenant
Junior grade, from which rank they
can rise to that of captain, at maxi
mum salary of $4,000.
In view of the approaching second
draft, and the numbers of our Catholic
young men who will be in the service
Lit is very important that there be on
hand list of priests who are eligible
for appointment, both as regular and
as auxiliary chaplains
