TO RECOMMEND
 PAY INCREASES FOR NAVY MEN
Will Cost $10,OOO,0OO to Meet This Advance
 In Wages

Washington, Nov. 2s.-Pay increase for officers and men of the navy will be recommended to Congress by the House Naval Committee soon after the opening of the regular session next week, Representative Kelly, Re publican, sub = comtmttee chairInan, stated Wednesday. Except for re- cruits. whose pay is $3s month, in creases would be general under a plan approved by the subcommittee.
 Advances asked for army officers have not yet been approved by the congressional committees, but a House military subcommittee is understood to favor some increase and early in the session.
 ogs stat-m foo fig to pf ETA
 Petty officers of the navy, under the House Committee plan, would re- ceive the largest increases flat ad- vance of fifty per cent, while officers, ranking from ensign to captain, both inclusive, would receive a fifteen per cent. increase in pay and commu- tation for quarters the same as higher officers, whose allowances would be increased approximately $50 to $90 a. month. The bill would con- tinue the pay increases until July 1 1921, and committee men estimate that 1t would cost approximately $10,- 900, 1000.
 No actual appropN etion to meet this expenditure would be necessary committee men assert, as the pay for year ending next June was fixed foE an average of 100000 officers and | men, while the navy personnel al present numbers about 100000.

to hospital and, so violent was the
feeling against him, the location of
the hospital was kept secret for fear
the mob might take him from the

ROMANCE OF GEORGE V

From the Kansas City Times.
G1TlHE claim of Victor Norman Of
Seattle, American citizen and
soldier of fortune. that he is
grandson of the late King Edward VII
of England, and therefore the rightful
Prince of Wales, recalls the story of
the alleged morganatic marriage or the,
present King George of England.
King George was at the time the
Duke of York, and was known as the
Sailor Prince" as he was popular in
the British navy. The story floated
around the European capitals for years
that, in 1890 the then Duke of York
while on the Island of Malta, contracted
morganatic marriage with Miss Mary
Seymour, daughter of Admiral Sir
Michael Culme Seymour, who was sta
toned at the island at the time. The
marriage it was said, although solem
nized by a clergyman, was not legal in
the light of an act OF Parliament regu
lating the marriages of those Of roy al
blood. 1t was asserted cha. children
were born of this union--w tl.ei two
