WASHINGTON. JAN lit is not generally
known that the United States annually pays
upward of 900 pensioners residing in foreign
countries for services in the United States army
and navy during the late war. These pensions
are paid from the Washington agency, which
also pays the pensions of residents in the sol-
diers' homes. Mr. Sidney L. Wilson, the
Washington agent-who by the way is one Of
the few living men who lost both legs during the

foreign pensioners on the rolls. There are
about 1,200, including those in Canada. Ger

and the Rhine provinces. Great Britain and
Ireland come next, with about 30O The others
are scattered, but majority of them are in
Europe"
"Are these pensioners permanent residents of
Europeq"
Yes, generally speaking. Many Of them were
for longtime residents Of the National Sol
diers' Home. Their pensions were increased
from time to time until they now obtain about
enough to live on. AS soon they secured their
increase many of them returned to the father
land to end their days there among their peelie

army. One resides at Philipopolis and the other
