PRIVATES SAVE MONEY
OFFICERS BLOW THEIRS

WINNIPEG, Man, April 10 (by AS
sociated Press) .-Canadan privates
are returning from Europe with con-
siderable money, while many officers
are reaching their homes practically
penniless, according to provincial Of
ficials.
Most of the soldiers had approx
mately $500 to their credit when they
left England only portion Of the
amount being given to them before
embarkation. The privates spent most
of their leisure at recreation camps
where little money is needed. -,
Officers, on the other hand, fol-
lowed their inclination to "live" and
with British and Americans officers
helped fill the London hotels, accord
ing to returned officers. They say
that fraternizing with American Off
GERS proved rather costly as Ameri-
cans received higher pay and spent it
freely.
"Thousands of Canadian privates
will return with far more money than
they possessed when they enlisted"
one officer said.
