WILL ADD MILLIONS
TO THE PENSION LIST
Two Measures introduced
by Senator PritChard.
One Makes Confederates Who Joined
Union Army Eligible-Rushed
Through at Close.

Among the numerous bills which were
rushed through in the closing hours of
Congress was one introduced by Senator
Pritchard OF North Carolina, providing
that those Confederate veterans who en-
listed and served in the Federal army
prior TO January /, 1865. shall be eligible
to receive pensions from the United
States Government.
When this matter was brought up be-
fore Commissioner Of Pensions II Clay
Evans several years ago, he ruled that
the men in this class were not pension
able.
By the passage Of this bill about So
eco. 600 IN pensions will be disbursed in
North Carolina and Tennessee. At the
time Of the war there were many North
ern sympathizers who were forced into
the Confederate ranks. but who after
ward deserted and joined the Union
army.
There Is another clause in the bill
which Is also likely to be far-reaching
in its effects. This clause provides that
where a soldier has deserted from the
United States Army and has subsequent
" re-enlisted and been granted an hon
orable discharge, his former deseTtion
shall not initiate against his eligi-
biIity to receive pension
By this clause q man may have de-
serted any number Of times. vet. if he

is eligible TO be placed on the pension
rolls. There were 107 GOO dcsertions
during the civil war. and II is estimated
that this clause in Senator Pritchard's s
bill Will add 81 ,0G0 600 yearly to the pen
sion account.
