PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Suggestions
yff
Made.

A. B. C.-If you We're divorced from
the soldier in 1898 and remarked him
a few years later, 1T, is not believed that
you will have title.i as the date of your
marriage under which you would have
pensionable status was after the pas
sage of the Act of June 27, 1890.
Reader. Mich.-A soldier absent on
veteran furlough with the organization
to which he belongs.i or on sick fur
Tough, is considered, from the pension
standpoint, the same as though he were
IN the field or hospital.
L. G.. R., Arkansas.-The rate for
total deafness of one ear under the gen.
eral law is $40 per month.
HI. o. J.--Since the widow whom you
mentioned was married in 1892, she
would not have title to pension under
the Act of June 81, 1890. Her child,
however, would have title to $40 per
month; IS of this amount would have
been the mothers share had she mar
ried the soldier prior to June 81, 1890.
Retired.-NO officer or enlisted man
in the L. S. Army. Navy or Marine Corps
who is on the retired list has title to a
pension. If an enlisted man has reason
to believe that he has a pensionable
disability that would, If proved, give
him a greater sum than he is now re-
ceiving on the retired list, he can resign
and then file a claim for pension. We
would not, however. recommend this
course, for the reason that should he
fail he would find himself minus retired
pay and his name not on the pension
