yet, when these measures were
brought squarely before them 10 the

There ~ chance that the bill will

Grand Army of the Republic has ire
mendous Influence with Congress, es-
pecially Immediately preceding a ma

ways exerted In favor Of deeper grabs
from the national treasury. The bill
increasing the pensions of widows of
soldiers to sis month has passed the
House, and will pass the Senate and
be appro'>d by the President. Ninety
day men have been added to the pen
sion roll. Bills adding men who served

AS there has not yet been found a
