THE SOLDIERS MONEY.

According to Gen. Rershing,
our soldiers in France ought not
TO have more than 80 month
spending money apiece. Ills
theory is that if the married men
are sending all their money home,
while unmarried men are spend
ing it freely on small comforts
and enjoyments, an undemocratA
difference is created. Anyway
the character Of some men is such
that some money that should
come home to the families will
be dribbled away in small change
in the towns behind the trench
line.
Ones first thought is that the
soldiers pay is small at best, and
that he won't get any more lux
uries and blow-outs than he ought
to have. But it has to be consid-
cred that the British Tommies and
the French Poilus are not at all
well paid. Too much show Of
cash on the part Of our boys
might promote unrest.
The French look upon the
American boys as their saviours.
They are genuinely grateful. and
thew are too friendly a people to
perform many mean acts. But
it is the custom in Europe to look
on every American as a mil
lionaire. The French will be
likely to drive Aourishing bust
ness with the Sammies, and to
consider it legitimate to sell them
anything they will carry off. The
unmarried men would better tuck
away and coins not needed into
their insurance money. The mar
ried men will do well to send ev-
erything home they can.
A good many men will have all
they wish to spend from private
sources. Some will put it all
into such choice comforts as can
be bought or smuggled. They will
need all such luxuries themselves
Others will be ashamed to enjo,
anything until it has been passed
around. It is a fair guess that
the latter will be much the more
common type. The hog class Of
men is not specially common and
trench life will promote sympa
thy and a desire to share things
