Why MUST a SOLDIER WANT FOR MS pAY7

The kid In the service wired his faith
err. Can get of to so to New York to
see sisters. Please wire $25. Haven't
been paid" That was from a post very
near Washington and where nothing
should interfere with prompt payment
OF the enlisted men.
Otto H. Kahn has been among the
the troops overseas. He says three
things are constant causes Of complaint
among the men. viz: they are not paid
with promptness, the mail service is
bad and the high stiff collar Of the uni
form IL uncomfortable.
Now there is no reason readily adj
vanced why the soldiers should not be
paid promptly. It is not from lack OF
money for the government has not been
able with its strongest efforts to spend
the money 30 freely Appropriated and
offered thru bonds and levied by tax
alton. Especially is 1t hard to find any
good reason or sufficient excuse why
soldiers in the states and at the army.
posts and cantonments should not
receive their pay promptly. Still that
remains a common complaint.
OF course the boys will not SPEND the
money II they don't have It but the
American ds not happy man when
broke unless he knows that his financial
stringency is thru his own act Sol
der or wage worker he wants his pay
on pay day; and he Is a better work
man and 4 better soldier when he gets
1t promptly. &
Why wouldn't the same business abil-
ity that pays off promptly TO factory
hands pay the troops promptly? And
why hasn't the sollter as good q, right
to his pay promptly a. the factory
hand?
One lad across seas. and In the pres
ent big battle writes to his people that
he hasn't been paid for thres months.
Imagine that lad dead broke and I'M
able to buy cup Of coffee or sand
witch. with three months pay coming.
r any good reason 70 be given why
with money on hand the United States
can not pay it soldiers when their pay
= due. And further. except "a exoep.
tionai instances 10 there any good req
son why malls should not be delivered
to them with reasonable promptitude? !

DRAFTING THE LADS.

1t is suggested by the predictions OF
labor reserve officials that the admin
istratlon program to increase and lower
the draft ages will begin at 10 and run
to forty Ave. AT least those ages are
said to be predicted by the appointees
Of the service mentioned.
Many persons favor the 1s year old
limit because as they point out the
civil war armies were largely composed
of boys. Army officers are said to fay
or it because young boys make good
soldiers and are more biddable, and
even more reckless In battle than eld-
er men.
However, that illustration drawn
from the civil war Is an unfair one.
The civil war was fought mainly by
volunteers and volunteers are young
men for the most part. The conscrip-
ton Of the civil war offered opportun-
ity to buy out" and furnish a substi-
tute. The offered price. often high and
higher as the timidity and wealth Of
the purchaser ran, induced many
younger men to accept It. And. it Is
not to be lost to sight that we are
speaking, now Of millions where then
we spoke Of divisions.
Minnesota has tabulated her soldiers
OF the civil war upon the ages OF their
enlistment. Her tabulation 'will prob
ably At Iowa as well az. It does the sis
Nter state. Aof Minnesota's 2o.5ao civil
war soldiers 80 were fifteen or younger,
1oS were Is. and 228 seventeen. The is
year olds number 22s1. In Ohio 10 per
cent Of the civiI-Nar soldiers enlisted
at the age Of Is.
Now II Is q short limit between Is
and is or even to 20. The number Of
men between those ages u compasa-
lively few with the number between 81
and ii.
Under q the men who are In our
armies today are all volunteers. II they
were to be counted between Is and q
there = small doubt that the compari-
son would show that the 1s to 20 year
old in the service has without conscrip
tion siven double or treble It's quota
that would have belonged to It had the
draft included those ages.
That the draft a1e should DO pushed
up to forty or even higher ana let
down perhaps to twsntysor even nine
teen ~ evident. Incrs6ss of mo draft
