Soldier Still Best Paid and Fed Of World’s Armies The American doughboy's most highly prized distinction—that of the world's best paid and best fed fighting man—remains unchal- lenged. His pay envelope, according to a comparative table just compiled by the War Department, is 11 times bigger than the Japanese soldier’s, and its contents would pay off 41 Italian or 58 French men-at-arms. The meal placed before one American Regular nowadays would have to suffice for 1.4 British, 1.5 Japanese, 2.4 Italian or 2.5 French fighting men, according to the War Department announcement. Only Great Britain approaches the United States in the amount of pay allotted to the individual sol- dier. The yearly pay per man is: United States, §: Great Britain, $240.90; Japan aly, $6.20, and France, $4.38 OFFICER FOUND GASSED. Been Despondent, Friends Say. BOSTON, Mass., August 12 (#).—- tanl A.

By the Associated Press. NEWPORT, R. I, August 12— Private detectives joined here today with servants of the Vanderbilt es- tate, the Breakers, in a search for the third of three jewelry boxes, mysteriously stolen in a reputed $100,000 robbery which occurred dur- ing a dinner party last Saturday. Two of the boxes were returned yesterday to Mrs. Cornelius Vander- bilt, wife of Brig. Gen. Vanderblt, by Louis Chantler, a gardener's help- er on the adjoining estate of Mrs. Hamilton McK. Twombly. Chantler found the boxes and their contents STAR, under a bush just across the line from the Vanderbilt estate. The third box was believed to con- tain the most valuable of the missing gems. There were more than 30 guests at the dinner, which was given by Mrs. Vanderbiit and her daughter, Grace. PRECINCT BEHAVES WELL. No Arrests Made Yesterday in Seventh Is Year's Record.
