called up tomorrow. II appears from
the report Of the committee that Wilson
dritted into the army Notwithstanding
his allegation that he was suffering from
deafness aud an eye complaint. In the sery-
Ice he contracted rheumatism and kid
ney disease OH which he
based his application for PEN
sion. His application was rejected
by the pension bureau on the ground that
he was disabled before he was enlisted,
which Is also the reason for the veto. The
committee takes the position that under
the circumstances the government is
stopped from setting up the claim of prior
disability.
