RUSSIAN OFFICERS
BIGGER SALARIES PAID SILENCING DISCONTENT. DIFFICULTY OF MEETING INCREASES. LONDON, Dec. 27.

The War Commissar, M. Voroshiloff, apologises for the smallness of the increases and points out that financial conditions render the present inadequate increases most difficult to meet. Salaries already absorb an undue proportion of the military budget, involving neglect of the necessary equipment.
