\AM...t5s ARE BEST PAID
Second Lieutenant on F.I?ine Gets
cs Much as FoCh.
American Army of $1,000 Costs Gen
many More Than $4,000 French
Troops in Mayence Zone.

CoblenZ.-The pay Of second iieu-
tenant in the American army on the
Rhine is equivalent at present rates
Of exchange to that Of Marshal FOch.
This may explain in part why the
American army of 1900 men costs
Germany more than $4,000 French
troops in the Mayence zone. 1t ac-
counts also for the exaggerated state
ment from German sources that Amer
ica's fighting force cost Germany more
than all the allied armies of occupa-
ton.
Marshal Fochs salary is $4,000
francs. A second lieutenant in the
American forces in Germany receives
$2,12O Il year, which extra allotments
bring up to about $500. At the rate
to the dollar the second lieutenant
draws about 1880 francs Il year.
The buck private receives S3G a
month, corporal $51.SO, sergeant
$63 and technical sergeant $74.2O.
The French poilu at Mayence has to
be content with Is centimes a day. a
corporal receives 90 centimeS and a
sergeant 2 francs.
With the rate of exchange about 60
to 65 marks to the dollar, the Ameri-
can soldier in Germany draws larger
salary than many Of the high German
city officials.
The American soldier in the Coblenz
area lives better than the average
bourgeois family of either France or
Germany.
There never has been a soldier in
any army who has had at his DISPOSE
ton the organization of welfare which
the American soldier on the Rhine en-
joys. Officers say The boys here are
living the lives of gentlemen and be-
having as such.
Although prohibition does not exist
in Coblenz the correspondent has yet
to see drunken American soldier in
the city, yet payday, the dread of the
military police, has come and gone.
The Germans seem to bear them no
animosity and they are popular with
the frauleinS and Spooning might be
added to the outdoor sports which find
favor with many soldiers.
