UNCLE SANS SOLDIERS
TO GET THIRTY A MONTH

Washington. May 17.--Ameriean
fighting men. the boys who will be In
the trenches, will get $40 per month
il the senate agrees to such a PROPOSE
ton. The house Of Representatives
insisted upon this today, sending back
to conference the selective draft bill
in which the conferees had made the
enlisted mans pay s24. The house
had previously specified $40 when II
passed the bill. So the conferees took
the bill back, inserted $40 as the pay
rate and returned the measure to the
house, which promptly adopted the
conference report. Tomorrow the
senate will deal with it. Not much
difficulty is anticipated there as the
senate voted to give the soldiers s2a.
Chief opposition to the increase de-
veloped in the house from Chairman
Dent OF the military committee.
"A sergeants pay is 500 per
month said he. land the sergeant
receives 20 per cent increase on
foreign duty. He would get s1,1so
per year. clothing allowance Of

At the time OF the last session we
had 1920 enlisted men in the
army.
"An increase In base pay OF SIS would
mean an increase OF sl.127,140. An
increase OF s15 would mean 1880,

commissioned officers under tho con-
ferees' plan means s. .405,961 for an
army of 10000: figuring this at SIS
means s2,312,295, it would cost 5000
