A PENSION DECISION.
Assistant Secretary Busscys Ru'ing
That Right to Pension
u Not Forfeited by Dishonorable Dis
charge Generally Approved
by G. A. X, Men.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-The decision
OF Assistant Secretary Bussey, to the
effect that a dishonorable discharge
would not work forfeiture of the right
OF soldier to claim pension is gener-
ally approved by Grand Army men.
General John Berger says that the Grand
Army will not take exception to the
decision, because the Government enter
ed into contract with every soldier
it employed, and if soldier is injured
while discharging his duties, it makes no
difference what he may do subsequent
to his injuries to merit Il dishonOrable
discharge, he is still entitled to PEN
sion, if his disability was received while
discharging his duties. The members OF
the Grand Army do not consider such a
decision AS in any way rejecting upon
1t, for it is merely awarding to the ap-
plicant pension which he justly
earned, and does not, by any means,
place him on an equality with the SOL
diers who served through the war or who
were honorably discharged, nor does it
entitle him to membership in the Grand
Army, and, OF course, such a man would
not be admitted.

wanton disturbance of the European
peace. The question now becomes prom
inent how the League will use its tre-

the League, predict that Bismarck,
having formed the mightiest coalition
ever seen, will hasten to settlsscores
