PENSION DELAYS.
An Important Letter From Gen. II. B
Darlington, Colonel of the 18th u ,
During the Civil War.

Editor National Tribune: In your
issue of June "a, just received, under
the heading Another Indian Fighter,
is a communication from William II.
Verrill, 317 ". 18th street, Muskogee,
Okla.
In that letter Comrade Verrill refers
to another letter from Comrade Thos.
Keliher's article in st. Louis Republic,
of March %, 1909. Said letter has spe-
cial reference to soldiers of the 27th
u. s., which served under my personal
command during the expedition to
wyoming in 1866, and was carried on
my official regimental returns as the
2d battalion of the 18th L. S.
A vital question to the success of appli-
cation for pension for service in the 18th
u. s., the total aggregate strength of
which between July /, 1861, and July
81, 1866, numbered over 400 enlisted
men, is not simply that of date of en-
iistment in or assignment to service in
the 18th u. s. Every applicant for a
pension should specify distinctly the
battalion number in which he served.
AS late as my regimental return of
July 81, 1866, / made official report to
the Adjutant-GeneralO of the Army, Civ
ing location of every officer, present or
absent, wherever distributed thru many
posts on the frontier, and of every en-
listed man on special or detached duty,
and in every case indicated not only
the company letter. but the battalion
to which said company belonged.
Hence it has happened that soldiers
seeking pensions repeatedly give men,
bership as Co. /, 18th u. s., instead of
giving Co ], I'd Battalion, 18th u. S.
For example. in my official report of
July 81, 1866, reported as present and
accounted for as follows:

With all this talk about the alarming
increase in the number of unmarried
men in the country, and of the efforts
of several of the States to correct this
by a bachelor tax, the merits of the
with a clear and unpuestioned bril-
liancy. A member of the Wisconsin
Legislature. who has just introduced a
bill calculated TO make men with lean
ings to life of single blessedness sit
up and take notice. says that a large
proportion OF people wish to marry, but
do not know how TO go about it. OF
course, IN this country poor girl can
do nothing but look as sweet and pretty
as possible, and then wait patiently for
some man to come along, fall In love
with her and propose, while, as for the
men, tho the masters Of the situation,
most of them go TO work to select a
wife in haphaZard, hit or miss FASH
ion which usually ends disaStrously.
And it is right here that the French
system comes out strong. In the first
place. everyone marries in France, a
single man or woman being almost un-
known. As soon as a girl is born into
French family, no matter how humble
their station in life, sum of money is
put aside for her every year. When
she reaches a manageable age this
becomes her dot, and no French girl
with dot need remain single. A moth
er with daughter of the proper age
to marry announces quietly 20 her
friends that she would like son-in-
law. mentioning the requirements. IL
