WAR DEPARTMENT IS
SILENT ONINEQUALITY
Officers Assert That Problem
Is Solely With Congress.

WAsHiSGroH, April T.-Of1ciala of
the War Department made no attempt
to-day to defend the inequality of pay
between Regular Army officers who are
retired and officers OF the National
Army. II II admitted that the retire
mont pay Of a First Lieutenant in the
Regular Army who has lost a leg Is S12b
a month. while an officer OF the National
Army under the same circumstances
would receive but $21 a month II Is
emphasized, however. that this a mat
ter which concerns Congress, which
made the law, and the army mems sole
duty Is to enforce It. Members OF the
Senate and House In n position to say
what remedial legislation will be at
tempted are absent from Washington.
BY way of explanation army men
pointed out to-day that comparative fig-
ures showing retirement pay OF officers
in tho Regular Army and In the Ma
tional Army really amounted to compar-
Ing the regulation retirement pay OF
the regulars with the insurance install
ments provided By the last Congress
under the war risk plan for men in the
National Army. BY permitting these
latter officers to take out insurance for
$4,000 or $4,000 the Government pro-
uded a means OF insuring them against
risk OF death or disability and the pay
ment OF the amount in 200 monthly in
stalments constitutes the so-called re-
tirement allowance they receive whsn
disabled. Tho exact amount payable
monthly depends upon the nature Of the
injury.
The crux OF the matter. It was ex'
planned, is that no provision really has
been made by Congress to provide re-
tirement pay for officers in the Ma.
| tional Army. The officers of the Regu-
lar Army have been provided With THU
! safeguard for long time.
The only possible means Of adjust
mont according to army officers, IL fol
Congress TO enact legislation providing
for, retirement pay for officers In tho
! National Army 1t is admittedly doubt
| full whether the Government would sane
ton such q move. especially as the Ad
ministration feels that the insurance ac'
has shown . very fair and consideratt
policy.
