The Veterans Of 1919.

A New York Ssh reporter fccontly found
The veteran General Raymond in bis ofiice-a
scantily furnished room-at No. 6 City Hall
Place. Around him lay memorials Of the
struggle of 1912, IN which he took partand for
which he gets beggsrly SIS a month from the
Government. A rusty mushct, q tattcrcd en-
sign, dusty guidons, and sword Of very an
cient look adorned the walls On his desk
was small ledger containing the names Of the
surviving members Of the veteran corps, aud Of
those who have passed away.
al suppose you come" said the General,
who has passed his eightieth year, " to find out
something about our pensions?
heportet-That is my object.
Gen. Raymond-Well, sir, | can tell you
that the act of Congress giving us pensions is
very unsatisfactory.
Reporter-In what respects, Genoral2
Gen. Raymond-it cuts off The poor wid-
ows of the veterans. The law only gives pen
sions to widows who were married TO soldiers
of the war 1912, before the ratification Of
peace. Now, number Of the poor fellows
were young and unmarried when they en-
listed and when they did marry, they were so
worn out or poor in many instances, that their
wives had to support them. 1t is certainly
wrong to deprive them of pensions.
Reporter-IIave any Of the veterans been
paid?
Gen. naymchd-No, not one Of thcm and
some Of them arc very poor. A lot of pension
agents in this city are trying to rob them
Why, have received bundle Of applications
from the swindlers and have also received
certificates Of spurious claims for pensions un-
der the new law, from this and other States
The pensions date from the 18th Of last
month, and | suppose they'll pay us quar-
ter's noney-that is S24-in May.
Reporter-How many veterans Of the war
of 1912 are there in this city?
Gen. Raymond-Not more than thirty, and
the number may be less when tho pension be-
comes due; so you see the law was PASSED TOO
late to do Us much good.

And in the knowledge Of thy love
Will find relief and rest.

When twinkling stars with silver light
Their lonely vigils keep.
