AMERICAN SOLDIERS ARE
NOT THE HIGHEST PAID
WASHINGTON, July' 17. Popular '
belief that the American soldier is
higher paid than thut of any other
country, is erroneous, according to an
official table Issued Wednesday by tho
general staff. This shows the three
British Dominions, Australia, New
Zealand and Cnnndu allow material
ly higher pay for each grade than
docs the United States. For instance,
in the Australian army a corporal
earns $72,110 per month, ns compared
to $.'16 in tho American army. The
other extreme is shown in the cases
of France, Japan and Italy, where the
private receives $1,511, 7Kc and 58c
per month, respectively, against the
$:il) paid the American doughboy.
