Editor COURIER The Sullo.

Under the new law the pension
of all widows who are now draw

No application is required in

TAFT EXPLAINS
MEMORIAL SPEECH

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Secretary
of War William H. Taft, when appraised
tonight that comment had been caused
by his reference in his Memorial day
address in New York to General
Grants resignation from the Army be-
fore the Civil War, made the following
statement;
Il am very much distressed that any
thing l have said should be construed
to be an attack upon General Grants
memory yield to no man in my ad-
miration for General Grant, in my high
estimate of his remarkable qualities,
and of the character and of the great
debt that the Nation owes him. In my
Memorial address / attributed his res
ignation from the Army in 1854 to his
weakness for strong drink, because
from Mr. Gar,ands Life of General
Grant and the evidence he cites, and
from other histories, | supposed it was
undoubtedly true.
81 referred to the matter because it
seemed to me that it was one of the
great victories of his life that he sub
sequently overcame the weakness. The
wonder of his life was that with all
the discouragements that he encoun-
tered before the Civil War, including
this, he became the Nations chief in
strument in suppressing the rebellion,
l venture to say that no impartial man
can read my Memorial day address and
say that / do not give to General
Grant a place in history as high as
that given him by any OF his historians
or his admirers.
