Show Ouu American police will hardly think of going to Cyprus for situations. The policemen of that island are never decently paid, and their salaries now are many months in arrears. The clothing of the poor fellows is in rags, aud thoy manage to get enough to oat by theft and blackmailing. The regular pay of an officer is $0 a month; of a sergeant, $4; ol a corporal, cor-poral, $3; -of a private (mounted), $3.50; of a foot policeman, $2. To these insignificant salaries is added a ration of bread, about four pounds a day for the officer and two poundB for tho man. |
