JOHN BULL WOULD
RAISE PENSIONS WOMEN
At Present "Girl Left Behind Gets
$1.S5 a Week For SuppOrt-New Rate
Not Popular With Wealthy Class
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Oct. 31.-A campaign to
raise British pensions and separation
allowances has been started by G. n.
Barnes, M. p who proposes a mini
mum of one pound sterling a week for
the widow of every soldier and sailor
killed at the front, for the mother de-
pendent on any soldier and sailor
killed, for the wife of every soldier
and sailor now in the fighting line and
also for every soldier and sailor per-
manently manned by fighting.
Such an increase sounds small in
comparison with American pension
rates, but would mean a four-fold raise
for the English in most instances.
From 1926 a week, the widows pen
sion would be raised to S.. Mothers
dependent for support on men who die
at the front at present get only S1.85
week, while the minimum weekly
pension allowed to disabled soldiers is
IS cents. Mr. Barnes also proposes to
double the present allowance of %
cents week for each dependent child.
1t is pointed out that the nation has
to support these dependents in any
case, and to throw the main burden on
private charity does not relieve the
country of the cost. An adequate sep
aration allowance and pension would
also relieve the men who are offering
their lives for their country from the
stigma of being objects of charity.
But as the proposed increase is likely
to take the form of a super-taX on in
comes, it is not popular with the veal
thy classes.

This Officer Only Works
For CONFLICTS Pardon

stances that can be are arrayed on the
same document For, after being re-
fused first time, a second application
is likely to meet with prejudice, an ad-
verse impression remaining in the
mind of the pardoner from reading
of the case as initially presented.
So to overcome this chance of in
justice, Mr.. Finch drew up a form
which jurists say in a masterpiece of
silent cross examination. 1t makes the
prisoner, applying for the. pardon,
cudgel his brain to fill in the blanks
For instance there is a section in the
form reading, state reasons why
pardon should be granted, and then a
sub-sentence reading, Give each reas-
on separately" This latter sentence is
designed to make the prisoner think
out and analyze for himself just why
he should be pardoned.
The form includes section for the
signature of persons endorsing the
applicants petition for a pardon. Not
content with seeing the signatures Of
these citizens, the pardon attorney
wants to know why these persons en-
dorse the application, that is, why they
think the man should be pardoned Also
they must give their occupations, be-
cause occupations themselycs charac-
| ter witnesses.
| The prejudice of district attorneys is
something the pardon attorney has to
contend with, When a district attor-
ney, particularly a young and enthus-
iastic district attorney gets a man in
Jail for crime, he usually wants to
keep him there. His job is to keep peo-
pie who it is alleged annoy or endang-
er other people Gagged up. Wherefore
he often opposes pardons. The pardon
attorney must take everything advance
ed by these officers AT its true value.
The recommendation of the pardon
attorney is forwarded to the president
who usually granted is for he considers
that the attorney has sifted the case
thoroughly and has recommended ac-
cordingly, The president does not al
ways grant the pardons, however, as
many disappointed applicant can tes-
tify

WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. 31.-Few
persons in the United States, except
lawyers, judges and prisoners know Of
the existence of the pardon attorney.
The general public occasionally hears
of the president granting pardons to
prisoners as for instance, when such
distinguished men as Charles w. Morse
or Julian Hawthorne are the prisoners
pardoned, but that the United States
government maintains an officer whose
entire time is devoted to pardons is not
generally known.
Yet not a federal prisoner in any
penitentiary in the country can be par
doned without his case first passing
through the hands of this pardon at
torney. His Office is in the building of
the department of justice at Washing
ton and comes under the direct super
vision of the attorney general of the
United States.
Children, particularly small boys,
look upon policemen as the personifica-
ton of oppression, as the personfica-
ton of the theory that might is right.
So that when these children grow to
manhood they harbor an instructive
dislike for police officers. The most
conscientious citizen will be piqued if
he is addressed sharply by a police
man. For these reasons many have
come to regard the legal machinery of
the government as dedicated to getting
offenders into jails. Wherefore, it
seems parodoxical to realize that the
legal machinery of the government al
so has a good sized cog dedicated en-
tirely to getting prisoners out of jails
James A. Finch is the pardon attorney
Of the department Of justice.
His sole work is to secure the re-
lease of convicts whose cases merit ex-
ecutive clemency. Mr.. Finch tries as
hard to get prisoners out of jail if he
thinks they deserve it, as the most as
siduous district attorney tries to get
them in. Mr. Finch is the author of
the blank form on which prisoners ap-
ply for pardons. He discovered that
through ignorance of the points of law
and evidence to be considered OF
through inability to employ compe-
tent attorney deserving prisoners aften
lost their chances of obtaining pard-
on. When application is made for a
pardon all the rosy facts and circur

Capt. Lieut.. Otto Won Weddigen,
commander of the submarine U-9, is
the naval hero of Germany. His was
the daring exploit which resulted in
the destruction of three British cruis-
ers in the North Seattle Chessy, the
Hogue and the Aboukir-a feat which
shocked all England and made her
people tremble momentarily in doubt
about her navy. Won Weddigen
is only thirty-two years of age, but
his name rings throughout Germany
and Great Britain's enormous navy
has not in this war produced hero
whose fame compares with that Of
the German.
Van Weddigen was 200 miles from
his base of supplies, having travelled
most of that distance under water,
when he sighted the three cruisers.
He found them in triangle and arrer
taking a last sight at them dove.
He worked between them, within less
than a mile of each.

No Chance to Smoke.

Their chief complaint otherwise is
lack of tobacco, and when they get any
they have no time to smoke during the
day, and at night it means a court
martial to exhibit even a glimmer of
light from a cigarette.
Cutting of the bikes at Dixmude, the
correspondent continues, flooded Ger
man trenches, and caused the death by
drowning of hundreds, perhaps thous-
ands, of the enemy.

Here's One Man Who Does Not Believe

Charles L. Townes, state examiner of
public accounts, has been brought face

believe there is titanic struggle in
Europe. He was at Hamilton last week
examining accounts of county officials.
One farmer told him in a straightfor-

more wild cat stills had been destroyed
in one week in Marion county than the
