Paris, March 4.-The possibility of

discussed by the national congress at

various reforms for which the miners
are now agitating. A strike of the
French miners could not be considered
a movement in support of the English
strikers.

the ceremonies; they will go early to the Gene

Some day they will not be here to plan and
execute for Memorial day. Some day they al!

that question submitted to the people today it is
certain that the votes against remembrance and

the people how to plan and execute for a sue

Another suggested cause of glacial
periods is that they have been due to
the shifting Of the milky way, such as
is known to have occurred. Assuming
that much of the earth's heat comes
from the stars, DR.. Rudolf Spitaler
finds that the change of position in re.

by the floral offerings strewn upon their graves.
But what about the veterans who returned
from the front, torn by shot and SHE'LL unable to
resume their places in the ranks of the work
ers, without means of selfsupport and unwilling
to thrust themselves upon their kith and kin?
At the close of the Civil War, when than
half million men laid down their arms of war
and, in few months We're transformed from
soldiers to citizens, the question of what to do
with those who incapacitated arose.
Pensions are we'll enough in their way, but
pensions are not sufficient" declared Congress.
1--WE must do more" continued the members of
both House and Senate. 1--WE must establish
home for those who have homes" and this
sentiment crystallized into what is of
the most important features with which the
ton deals,
The National Home for disabled volunteer SOL
diers is located in the District of Columbia.
There are branches of the National Home at Day
ton O.. Milwaukee, Wis; Togus, Me- Hampton.
Va; Leavenworth, Kan; Santa Monica, CAL;
Marion Ind; Danville, ILL.,; Johnson City, Tenn,
and Hot Springs, s. d.
There are state homes for disabled volunteer
soldiers provided by the states of California,
Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa. Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan Mime
sofa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hamp-
shire, New Jersey, New York. North Dakota,
Ohio Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South
Dakota, Vermont, Washington. Wisconsin and
Wyoming.
Some idea of the extent of the properties sup
ported by the Federal government may be had
from the last report of the board of managers in
which the acreage of the homes is set down as
$500, valued at $4s3, 474s5 On this land are
buildings aggregating a value of $10,51364S.42.
To acquire this property, to maintain 1t and to
care for the thousands of soldiers the total out
Law up to the close of 1911 hes been in the neigh
borhood of $90,000,000.
When the first home established, within
the year. there were go veterans cared for.
Then each succeeding year increased at the rate
of almost 1000 per year until, in 1905 the great
est number, 34,949, taken care Of. At the
same time the death rate among the veterans
increased year by year. and from 1895 per 1000.
in 1867 it has advanced to $50 per 1000.
Yet, when takes into consideration the
physical condition of soldiers when admitted to
the homes, and that it has been AZ years since
the Civil War, the death rate is really low, for
the average life of the old soldiers has been
trihe more than 20 years-a ripe age for the ma
jority of men. Indeed, this alone is most not
able tribute to the government for it's excellent
care of it's wards.
