gone the trials and hardshipS incident to
our civil war, we deplore the great cry
raised against the Government OF bad
treatment Of our soldiers. From our own
past experience we regard the charges as
not worthy of investigation, except, per
haps, for the purpose of ascertaining de
fects in our military system, and thus be
enabled to remedy them in the future.

retain, as a war measure, all the Philippine

About Blue and Gray.

Editor National Tribune: | want to say
| as an old campaigner and four years
| timer, that President McKinley's speech
at Atlanta, Ga, was the right thing al
the right time and place. Years ago
made up my mind the war of '6l-'65 was
over. The soldier in gray thought he was
right at that time. He was brave, and
fought too well for his expectations, for
bad money, poor, clothes, scant pro-
visions, and inferior arms and equip
ments, and after all was over, what did
he get on his return to his old home? In
many cases he found on the old farm a
monument alone standing guard-the old
chimney.
Let any old soldier go to any of our Ma
tionai Encampments, and here you will
see lots OF the Johnny rebs that stood be-
hind the guns during the trying times
enjoying themselves with us. Let them
tell the story as they saw it, and what
they did; you cannot help saying Shake,
old boy"
Yes, say bury the Confederate dead
soldiers in our National Cemeteries. And
| go further-feed clothe, and shelter
them in their old days in our National
Soldiers Homes. We are now one coun-
try and one flag As the German saws.

at Allegan, Mich. In the Summer of 1862
his father, Henry J. Germany, enlisted as
volunteer in the 18th Mich, III which
regiment he served until near the close Of
the war, when he died from fever con-
tracted while with Sherman's army near
Savannah. An examinatio of the
records of the regiment will show that it
figured in many of the hottest and most
protracted engagements OF the civil war.
After Cormany's death the property which
he left to- his widow and three children, of
which Brother Germany was the youngest,
gradually became diminished through GER
tain causes until about the year of 1875,

Two Questions naturally in the minds of soldiers

Invalid Pension first presented First Am entitled?
Second If entitled, ought to apply?
Invalid Pension title under the general law depends
upon inability to do any work, support follow
trade profession but depends upon physical impairment
for the work of sound, abebodied man. at ordinary
manual labor due to wounds injuries diseases incurred
service and line of duty. The degree sf such impairment
may be comparatively slight and yet monthly not
less than Sc may be had Discharge with account OF
disability is not absolutely necessary.
1t is not asking favor charity ask for what YOU
entitled to under the law and for which it is ex-
pected you will apply if entitled. By delaying for any
the amount of required proof and the difficulties Of
obtaining the ordinarily increased and moreover
delay apt to give rise presumption that title doubt.
