Our Paris correspondent reports that very
touching ceremony took place on Saturday at
Battilly, on the Franco German frontier. A
German contingent came to reclaim handful
of their dead OF the Prussiau Guard, who fell
in the war of 1870. Their dead were delivered
up TO them, and were carried with every mark
of respect from the representatives OF both
armies 10 a monument on the German side.

while German and French Obaplains delivered

came a moment of the deepest significance when
the German soldiers stood facing the French
soldiers in the salute, and the German and the
French Generals in advance stood looking right
into each others eyes They had not seen each
other so close with weapons in their hands
since they parted from the death grip which
cost France her Provinces. This time of

ARMY NURSE PENSIONS.
Annie Wittenmeyer's Special Diet Force
Come in for Their Share.

Annie Wittenmeyer's Special Diet Force
Come in for Their Share.
The ruling of John N. Reynolds, Assistant
Secretary of the Interior. that women who
served in the special diet kitchen, established
through the agency of Annie Wittenmeyer, are
entitled to pensions u nder the Army Nurse law,
is most just and in line with the legislation
contemplated.
The question arose upon communication
from the Commissioner of Pensions as to
whether the women who superintended the
diet of the sick and wounded soldiers were en-
titled to pensions under the provisions of the
act of Aug 5, 1892.
Secretary Reynolds's instructions to Commits
sioner Lochren are that the names of dietary
nurses shall be placed upon the rolls when they
furnish proof that they were employed directly
by the Surgeon-General of the Army, or that
the persons who employed them had proper
authority. and that this authority was recog-
nized by the War Department.
The benefciaries of the decision are mainly
women who were sent by the United States
Christian Commission to hospitals for the pur-
pose of experimenting the special diet kitchens
of the same upon the request of the Surgeon
General.
Secretary Reynolds decision is an interest.
ing one. He says:
" This class of applicants presents strong
claims upon the Government for special con-
sideration. The dietary nurse sustains q rela-
ton to patient which is much akin to that of a
medical adviser. Physicians themselves are
constantly urging the efficiency of diet as a
safeguard against disease as well as q remedy
therefor 1t required intelligent as well as
delicate knowledge of the nature and effect of
certain foods to fit woman for such position
They often have for this peculiar fitness and
the services rendered by such women are in-
valuable and entitled to great consideration.
therefore consider their pensonable status
under the act unquestiopable. All claims
under this act should be adjudicated in accord
ance with the foregoing views"
