 It is made public from the pension
 office that from eight volunteer regi-
 ments which served in the Spanish
 war there have been 3,5SS applications
 for pensions. Yet in these regiments
 just 2j4 casualties were reported while
 the war was in existence. There IS a
 natural curiosity to know on what
 basis the remaining 3,3l4 claims are
 placed. Most of them, probably. on the ground of health permanently in- jured by camp service. If they are
 well founded. the course of our gov ernment in providing for men in camps was much worse than was charged at the time. But it is assumed that few believe them to be well founded The hand of the pension at- torney has doubtless been very active here.
