leading up to Clusters fight. Mr..

side of the questions that arose dur
ing the years when, white civilization
was crowding the uncivilized people
to the wall. Without direct inten-
ton to state the wrongs of the
Indian at the hands of this govern

the American people cannot get away
from the Century of Dishonor'' in
the nations treatment of the help
less Indian. The students and teach
ers enjoyed exceedingly Mr.. Robin

PENSION BLANK DEFECT

Washington. June 21.-Members of
tion have discovered defect in the
pension bureau blank application
for pensions under the Sherwood
law that may prove embarrassing
to the old soldier. The blank makes
no reference to the service disability
under which many may wish to file,
and it's omission is said to be mis-
leading. Congressman who have in.
vestigated the matter. say that .un-
less applicants state specifically in
their applications that they are filing
under the disability clause, where
they wish to do SO, great confusion
may result
In order to aid such. veterans as
may wish to file an application for
a pension on account of disability,
a blank form of affidavit has been
prepared for distribution by mem.
bers of the house, which can &C.
company the bureau blank It calls
for the certificate number of the
pensions now drawn by the soldier,
the regiment and company in
which he served, the nature of the
disability incurred in the service
and in line of duty" and also a
statement that "by reason of such
disability the soldier is unable to
perform manual labor, and that he
makes the affidavit to supplement
this application and makes claim for
the maximum pension provided by
the act of May IL, 1912" 1t is al
SO suggested that physicians affi-
davit accompany the application.
Members of the Minnesota dele
cation who have distributed the ap.
plication blanks by the thousands,
believe if this affidavit, or a SINH
lar one, is filed with the bureaus
form of application, it will prevent
confusion for those soldiers who ap-
ply for a pension on account of dis
ability incurred in service.
