OUR SOLDIERS WELL PAID

Capturing American sammies'' is a
decidedly more lucrative occupation for
the Prussian soldiers than lighting for the
fatherland says Thomas z. Logon, in
Leslies. When the Kaiser offered q
bonus of SIS to the first man of his forces
in France who captured an American sol
der he fixed sum that represents more
than three years pay of a private in the
German army The pay given American
soldiers, compared with the pay of the
British Tommy the French poilu, the
Italian Alpini the German bouche and
the other fighting men of Europe, seems
handsome wages. The American second
class private will receive $33 a month. The
French soldiers receives exactly $31 so
less or $3.50 q month. The Russian pri-
vate gets thirty-two cents a month"; the
Austro- Hungarian troops are given two
and a half cents o day. Great Britain
allows her fighting men $3.50 month for
service in France, Mesopotamia and other
foreign territories. Italy ranks second in
generosity allowing a monthly minimum
of $3.50. Spain compensates her soldiers
with a monthly wage of SAP; Germany
has wage scale beginning at $165; ia
pans soldiers at home receive So a year,
and Turkey grants her men $11 year.

112TH REGIMENT HAS
HAPPY BUNCH OF MEN

You can tell the folks back home that
! am well.
Don't forget to mention that I'm gain
ing weight"
And say, you would-be staff CORE
spondent, you can tell them that I'm just
as fun of life as ever
Go down any company street-from
Company A to Company M-down through
the whole row of lettered companies, and
you will here virtually the same remarks.
And the fellows mean it. Never was
there a happier bunch of men than right
here at Camp Hancock, They are going
at the war game in mans way, they
are playing a mans struggle every inch
of the way and most of all, they are be-
having as real men.
For let it be known back home that
the regiment is not only in better health
than ever before in it's many years of
history, but the conditions of camp life
are so far ahead of those of other years
that there is no comparison at all In all
of the two months since the One Hun
dred and Twelfth Regiment has been in
the Southland, there have been fewer
than dozen arrests in Augusta for
drunkenness.
