 The following Circular from the War Office, tending the construction under the Pension Law not heretofore embraced by it, was banded in for publication last week. but inadvertently omitted We now cheerfully give it an insertion.
 DEPARTMENT OF WAR,
 Dec. 26, 1926. SlR-The present practice of your Office, ln regard 90 the amour, of property which under the law of May ls, 1920, shall disquali(y person from receiving pension is deemed to be unequal in its operation upon N. ,,I,;o coualy the following rules will hereafter be observ cd.
 The object of the pension law is to provide for the absolute wants ofthc poor, but rtorous soldier Of the Revolution; and the highest rate of pension is supposed to be the smallest that will afford com for,abc support to an individual. In accordance with this principle, the following rule has been adopted by ,hc Department, and is hereby continued, viz: ls When ,hc whole property of ;he applicant consists in yearly income, (such as an "nnu!iy for life, bcqncs ren, charge upon lands, or any other incorporea r;gh,) wh ich is convertible into capital, he shall not be deprived of pension, unless sut yearly n come exceed the full yearly pension of a soldier. In addition to which the following rules, cores pondng in principle, are hereby established.
 9 When the applicants property consists in money stock, houses, hands, such other property he can a, pleasure into money capital, it shall not deprive him of the right ofpenson. unless its yearly proceeds, estimating them at 10 per cent on it's total value shall be equal to the amount of full pension. 3. When the applicants property is mixed and con sss of both species he shall not lose his pension, less their aggregate income, estimating by the preced- ing rucs shall amount to full yearly pension. As the Pension Laws of 1918 and 1920 are not pre- ,lica,ed any pre-existng engagement of the Gov ernment, but intended gratuitous provision for the support of aged individuals, for the time being, the two last regulations will not be considered as irrespective in ,her operation.
 To obtain the benefits arising from the foregoing regulations, in every where claim has been lccted under the former regulations, declaration is deemed essentially necessary, in order to show what is the present state of the claimants property, and to prove his identity.
 Very respectfully,
 Your obcdicnt servant,
 PETER B. PORTER. JAMES l.. EDWARDS, BsQ.
