YANK NOT HIGHEST
PAID FIGHTING MAN

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Popular
belief that the American soldier is
higher paid than that of any other
country is erroneous. according to an
official table issued today by the gem
eral staff. This shows the three Brit
ish ominions-Australia, New Yea
land and Canada--allow materially
higher pay for each grade than does
the United States. For instance, in
the Australian army a corporal earns
S72.9O per month, as compared to S36
in the American army The other
extreme is shown in the case of
France, Italy and Japan, where the
,.rivate receives $1.50. 7sc anr 5Sc per
month respectively, against the $50
paid the American doughboy.

REPORTS MADE TO SUPREME Al

COMMISSION.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Paris, March 21-In making his re-
port to the supreme allied council on
the Polish question, Jules Cambon, the
head of the Peace Conference Commits
sion on Polish affairs, set forth the
purpose of the commission to create
II Polish state which would have u
firm foundation for Its future welfare
and at the same time to respect the
principle of nationalities, despite the
difficulties resulting from the geograp-
ical features of the problem.
Poland, NJ. Cambon pointed out, was
half enclosed by German territory and
had an imperative need of an inde-
pendent outlet to the sea by a route
easy of access, to insure her national
autonomy. Therefore, he said. 1t WAS
necessary to incorporate In the new
state some German elements which, he
reminded the council, had been In
troduced there by Germany herself
with deliberateness and in conformity
with her colonizing system.
Premier Lloyd George argued that
Germany must not he given a pretext
for organizing u sort of irridentist
movement, especially east of the Wis
tula, where the Germans were rather
numerous. The plan of the commits
sion gives to Poland boundaries which
render her territory more restricted
than 1t was in 1772. 1t puts In her
possession an outlet to the Baltic
which along a considerable distance
spans the vistula to Danzig, but sx-
cludes the Allenstein territory, to de-
termine the position Of which plebis-
cite is proposed.
MIR. Lloyd George also remarked
that by connecting Danzig with Thorn
and Warsaw by two independent rail-
roads 1t probably would be possible
to make Poland economically indie
pendent.
