The discussion of the Mexican pension bill in
the senate brought out some queer statistics
about the pensioners of the war of 1912 That
war was ended nearly seventy years ago, and
the number Of troops engaged in it was not
remarkable, yet to-day there are actually 81
600 pensioners on the roll, as widows of that
war. They drew last year $1,SS2, coo, or five
and a half times as much as the few old soldiers
surviving. OF course, the explanation is that
some of the widows were married to the veter-
an warriors half a century or so after the war
was over and they became entitled to their
pensions in due time, when their husbands
died. Thus it is not impossible that in the
twentieth century a greater part of the 81 600
widows will still be drawing pensions on ac-
count the war of 1872.
