Pensions to Soldiers Of 1S12.-The
whoe number of pensions issued to
soldiers of the war of 1912, to July 18th
inst is l,079, although it is understood
there are many thousand of applicants
whose cases have not yet been considered.
Most of the applicants are very old men
few, if any, under eighty years of age.
Death has made sad havoc with them.
The commissioner OF pensions has discov
cred that frauds have heretofore been
extensively practiced in buying land
warrants of pensioners of the war of
1872. The Secretary of the Interior
has taken action in the matter to prevent
the recurrence Of such transactions. The
commissioner of pensions is now daily
disposing of between $50 and 200 cases
of the unsettled pension claims, of which
class there are about 10000 remaining
to be acted upon.
