A Concise Statement of the New Pensio
Law-Camp-Fire Gossip.

A Concise Statement of the New Pension
Law-Camp-Fire Gossip.
The new pension law was the most important
topic of conversation in old soldier circles last
week. the provisions of the law are expected
to reach one-half of the living soldiers. OF
course, many will get only the minimum, Sc per
month With the object of giving the veterans
and their friends a clear idea of the law in con-
densed form the editor of the Grand Army
column requested Comrade ]. 81. Stevenson,
the pension attorney, and a member of Post SS
to ''Doil it down." Comrade Stevenson's con-
densation is appended:
The bill gives to depende mothers and II
the mother be dead. to the father. pension,
provided the soldier died in the service or OF a
disease contracted there. This lets in many
cases now on file.
To widows and minor children (under 16
years), even if the cause of death had its ori-
gin since the war, commencing from the date
of application.
To soldiers who are disabled now, no matter
when it began. They must show so days sery-
ice honorable discharge and present disability.
Twelve dollars per month is the highest, and 80
per month the lowest pension grantable.
Soldiers who draw less than Sl2 per month
can get an increase up to that figure, if they
have disabilities contracted since the war of
pensionable nature.
