The failure of the Government to
raise the pay Of officers in the navy
Is more than a matter of distress to
the men whose income does not ct
the present living costs. 1t Is some
thing Of grave concern to the nation.
Just now, when 1t is so important to
keep together the framework of q
great sea power, Washington is re-
ceiving scores of designations from
officers who cannot make ends meet.
The Navy Department, with sense
of future needs, Is not accepting the
designations. The natural result is
that the officers are practically forced
to remain In the navy at salaries
which do not cover the necessities
Investigators who have studied the
money requirements of labor in gen.
eral declare that 1t is impossible for
any American, no matter how low his
station, decently to sustain himself
and his family on less than $500 a
year. Yet we find among navy Off
GERS, who are bound by the very ma
ture of their occupation to certain
high standards in dress and habita-
ton, that enslgns receive only $1,7O0
n year, junior lieutenants $4,000, lieu
tenants $2.4OO and lieutenant COM
manders $1,000. The commanders
are receiving less than is paid to
many railroad engineers, conductors
and trainmen.
Navy officers whose incomes are
fitted to $40 apartments are detailed
to cities, like Washington and An
nnpolis, where living quarters cannot
be had for less than 500 month.
This is q disgraceful situation, par
ticularly when the men are compelled
to remain in the service. To them 1t
means more than hardship; it spells
debt. The failure of the Government
to make easier the lot Of these officers,
whose pay has not been raised In
eleven years-and they were poorly
remunerated then-would be absurd
If it were not dangerous.

This service costs money. 1t makes
retail prices higher than they would

looked. Most people regard such ser
vice as inevitable, foreordaiped, and
accept 1t without giving 1t a thought.
They do not count the time 1t saves

relieves them of as an Offset to the

LIFE ON THE ERIE.
Mr.. Underwood's Opportunities to
Better the Lot Of Commuters.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: The
letter from "F. w. v. D." of Ridge
wood, N. j.. appeals to every sufferer
from the Fries ingenious ferry system;
but he cannot realize its full perversity
without regular travel on the Twenty
third street ferry.
This is so cleverly designed that one
usually misses a boat in the morning
and a train in the evening. II we ever
have one of the moyen age boats long
enough to become accustomed to CATCH
Ing certain train they change of to
some relic OF the Methuselah feet, and
the 5 :0T boat. which 1 get in the eve
ming, trickles down the river in ample
time to get train at s :45 or 6 o'clock,
and several nights last winter I had to
run to catch the 6 o'clock.
The general and freely expressed opin-
ion of all the regular victims Of this
ferry is that the railroad is trying to
compel us to contribute to the tube, al
though we pay transportation into New
York city. Apparently this is under
stood by the gatemen. as, in addition
to their efforts to shut the gates as
soon as the belated victims of the ferry
appear. they avoid opening the gates
until the crowd from the tube has rushed
the seats in the train.
However, the life of gateman in
that sepulchral station must be a sad
one. and I suppose We ought not to
grudge them these few CLEANS of Joy.
Regarding the expressInen who park
their wagons with the sole idea Of OBJ
structing the fairway when commuters
are trying to reach the ferries. one can
expect nothing better from these malefic
organisms, al. Sxpressmen being, am
firmly convinced. a direct reincarnation
of Captain Kidd. OF course this spe-
che abuse could be rectified If the rail-
way possessed any consideration for the
people who support It. but we have not
yet formed the One Big Commuters

even mend the roofs OF the passenger

where Are $4,000 Regulars Coming
From In Peace Times:

The General Staff and the War De-
partment have recommended the crea-
ton of a standing army of regulars to
consist of $4,000 men.
We do not believe there are $4,000
men in the United States, or will ever
be that number, who will be willing
to enlist in the army in peace times,
unless the pay and conditions of SER
vice offered are such as would i'm
pose a prOhbitive burden of taxation.
Americans are not eAger peace time
soldiers, as a rule. The small army
we had before the war was recruited
with great difficulty. Its ranks We're
not filed. even when things began to
look as If we should get into the war.
II an army of $4,000 men is au.
thorized by Congress, provision will
of course be made for the appropriate
quota Of officers. 1t may be possible
to get enough properly qualified men
to wear the shoulder straps, but this
Is by no means certain. There is now
much dissatisfaction among army off,
GERS of all grades because they can
not live on their pay, although up to
Lieutenant General they are paid
more, grade for grade, than the OFF,
GERS of Great Britain, France, Italy
or Germany.
To authorize an army of $4,000 is
comparatively easy, but to raise it
while peace endures will tax the in
genuity of even the General Staff.
