rendered real military naval service. The penalties
for trying deraud the Pension Office severe For
inpersonang another soldier the offender may be sent
to the penltenary for five years or be subjected to

The necessity for vigiant scrutiny of every pension
claim is increasing rather than diminishing. Under the
law enacted by the last session of Congress the
number of pensioners the rolls has been increased
enormously. The new claims that have been filed al
ready amount to four hundred and fifty thousand,
which will increase the annual expenditures by about
thirty million dollars. The law not only increases
existing pensions, but allows service pension not be-
fore granted Since the Civil War ended this country
has paid in pensions to its soldiers and their families
81, 129, 699,O71 go.
HOW much longer will the government pay pensions
- veterans of the Civil War and their families?
And how much longer will officials have to guard against
inroads into the pension appropriation by fraud? No
able to these queries. The last pensloner
of the Revolutionary War died April 25, 1911, hun
dred and twentythree years after the close of that
fict She was Mrs. Phoebe NJ. Palmer of Brookfeld,
New York the daughter of Jonathan Wooey who served
in New Hampshire company. Even more remarkable
than this the fact that the last widow pensoner of
that Esther S. Damon of Plymouth Union,
Vermont who died November IL, 1903 in the ninety
fourth year of her age And it only 1869 that the
Daniel F. Brakeman, who died at Freedom New York,
when he one hundred and nine years old 1t is
singular coincidence that the last veteran of the great
for freedom died at Freedom.
The last surviving pensioned soldier of the War of
1912 was Hiram Cronk of Ava New York. He died in
the of 1905 at the age of one hundred and five

two hundred and sevenyin of them June 80 1911.
With all this data basis to figure it is easy to
estimate that the government will be paying Civil War
pensions for at least half century longer. The time
easily be longer than that. AS extreme illus
traton, it is cited that a thirty years old,
marrying TODAY a who will die direct
of disability incurred during the war, may live to be
hundred. That would enable her to draw pension
in 1882 There is still another pension possibility If
anv son of the couple should have unsOund mind, he
would be eligible pension for life and, if he lived
one hundred years which is humanity possible, would
be drawing pension in 2Ol2.
And with all this the pensions that will be paid
veterans and disabled men of the Spanish American
War and the fighting in the Philippines. 1t is mpoS-
sble for the human mind to appreciate what tremen
dous amount of wealth contained in the words -four
thousand million dollars" If you approach it in
imagination, however, and remember furthermore that
the pension expenses of the United States in
creasng instead of diminishing it will be brought home
that the Bureau of Pensions has done great work in
perfecting its plan for detecting and Furnishing those
who do not deserve these annuties from the govern
ment
THIS protection of the public money is carried
through the following channels: The special agents.
the special physicians and surgeons, the law department
of the office and the remarkable set of records showing
the enlistment service, and fighting of every who
marched under the and stripes. In there
anything wanting the Pension Office records, ready
access had to those of the War Department and this
combination enables the authorities to turn to any
that may be presented to Them to ascertain the
length of the mans service and the battles in which he
fought
After all is said and done, when any agency handles
more than hundred and fifty million dollars year
and is vicmized by less than sixty people in such
that covered by the United States it is good
piece of work, especially when that agency IN addition
preventing fraud goes into every of the land
in the attempt to pay pensions to all those and
who deserve them
