U. S. ARMY COSTS MORE
PER CAPITA THAR ANY
OTHER IN THE WORLD
It costs the United States approxi
mately $1000 a year for each man in
the army service. Becatise of this
fact the suggestion to make the army
attractive so that recruiting will he
made easier through 'increasing the
pay from $15 monthly to $45 is un
likely to prevail. Today the per
captia expenditures for the regular
army of the United States are the
greatest of any country in the .world.
There are approximately 130,000
■men in the regular establishment,
maintained at a cost of $130,000,000.
IN BRITISH ARMY
The actual enlisted strength of the
British army March 1, 1913, was 171,
563. This includes the "standing
army at home” and in the colonies
(exclusive of India.) The per cap'ita
cost was $660.01, against the per capi
ta cost in the United States of $ 1047.
54.
One of the incidents of service in
tlie United States army which greatly
increases its cost is the necessity of
maintaining troops 'in Alaska,Hawaii,
I’orto Kico, the Canal Zone, the Phili
ppine Islands and China. The addi
tional cost of maintaining garrisons
in localities in excess of the amount
necessary to loaltita'in garrisons of
.the same strength and composition
in the United States increases the per
capita cost per enlisted man serving
in* those localities $84.62.
The officers of the United States
army are not considered overpaid,
and it is impossible to compare the1!!'
pay with that received by officers of
similar grades in the liritish army on
account of the various "extras” to
the latter officers.
It Is well known that the majority
of continental officers are not expect
ed to live on their army pay. In
order to remain in the service and live
as his fellows live, the continental
officer must have an income. The men
who enter continental armies as offi
cers in peace time come, as a rule,
from a class that does not engage in
trade or depend on their own efforts
to gain a livelihood, and they em
brace the profession of arms not as
a means of gaining a living, but
because it offers them a position
which is considered a fitting one for
men of their social standing.

VALDEZ, Alaska, June An at
tempt may lie made to lift the
wrecked steamer Olympia which has
been da paled on a pinnacle rock off
Itligli Island since December If, 1910,
and put here in eomm'ssion again.
Tills staunch hulk has withstood th :
buttering of tile seas in I’lincc Wil
liams sound without a tremor and
although dismantled of id movable
parts stall Is erect as the night she
struck. She ls^,he marred of all Al
aska tourists appearing n. be afloat
instead of ashore.
The eyes of skipping mei have been
east toward the wreck's! Olympia
since the valiw of can. • of all class
and description has Increased to un
m precedented t'giirci owing to the war
and men now are working on plans
of floating t’li vessel. They explain
that salvage plans would entail con
siderable expense but with the. high
price of tonnage the undertaking
might net a large profit, just for the
plates composing the steel hull.
The Olympia ran on Bttgh island
reef during a. terrific storm while
on her way from Cordova to Valdez.
By chance more cargo remained in
her forward hold than aft and she
was down by the head so far as yto
fail to answer to her helm. Capt.
James Daniels, the master, saved the
lives of all on board by ordering them
not to take to the boats during the
nigh. He lost his life last summer
when the steamship Admiral Clark of
the l’aeific Steamship Company
foundered in the Gulf of Mexico.

NEW COMMANDER
HAS FINE RECORD
I*NTR<Xllt A D—General Hagondo
koff, who has just been .appointed
chief of all the Cossacks armies, holds
a brilliant record of m'ditary and ad- j
ministrative experience, and is one
of the most popular commanding of
ficers in Russia. Il<; was governor at
Hlagovoeschtchen.sk durinff the revo
lution. The convicts had been re
leased from the local jail when he
came riding into town from an ad
ministrative trip into the country dis
tricts. General llagondoffok assem
bled all the convicts in the central
square of the town, and said to them:
“There has been no order in our
country heretofore. Hut now we are
going to have order All must help
to this end. And you convicts must
obey the law and return to jail.’
The convicts, after a short confer
ence, obeyed the generals request.
