PENSION TIDE NOW EBBs.
Payments Fall 100000 From the
High Water Mark.

Washington.-The report of Gaylord
n. 6altzgaber, commissioner Of pen
sions, for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1914. shows that the high water
mark In expenditures for pensions In
the United States has been passed. In
the year 7S5.230 pensioners received
from the government $172.417. SAC 90,
at an administrative cost Of over ST.
100000. The total Of pensions paid
marks a decline of about 100000
from the preceding year. when the
rolls Were heavily recruited under the
old age pension act Of 1912.
This shows says Mr.. Saltzgaber's
report. that the largest amount ever
paid out was expended In 1913. Up to
that time there had been a gradual
ascent, but the summit has been pass
ed, and q decrease In the amount may
be expected to continue"
Since 1866 the government has paid
in pensions a grand total Of $4,781,-
4t0,300.6O. Because Of the deaths Of
veterans and new economies In admin
istration the pension Office paid out
about e7,666y00O less than was appro-
priAted last year.

100000 REFUGEES
FACING HARD WINTER
Fall Of Antwerp Adds 500, 600
to Homeless List

London. - Three million refugees

cases lacking sufficient clothing and
ever food, make one result Of little
more than two months OF warfare I'm

The fail Q, Autwsrp adccd fully 50G,-
600 men, women and children to the
already long list of homeless sufferers
who must depend on the bounty OF
others for their keep. France, Eng
land, Germany. Austria, Russia and
Belgium have all felt the effect of the
sufferings of this great army. Eng
land and France especially and the
neutral nation Of Holland have been
the chief sufferers, for to them have
come the homeless hordes of Belgians
fleeing from their homes or driven out
by the fire and sword that has swept
through the country.
1t Is estimated that there are 1000
600 refugees In France, more than half
that number In England. at least 500.-
600 In Holland. Refugees from the
border towns of Germany and the East
Prussian territory occupied by Russia
have fed to the interior In what num-
bers cannot be estimated. On the 9TH
er hand. Russians from Poland and
the border towns attacked by the Ger,
a have been forced to fee to the
interior.
Thousands of refugees from Galicia
and the parts Of Hungary occupied by
the Russians have fed to the interior,
and Vienna and other large Austrian
and Hungarian cities are taxed to
their utmost to care for them. How
many of these refugees there are 1t is
almost impossible to say, and 100000
Is probably a conservative estimate OF
the great numbers who have felt the
full force Of the warfare.
Besides those that have fled from
their homes. there are thousands In
different parts Of Belgium and parts
Of France. possibly starving and hope
lessly facing the coming winter.
How to carr for these great armies
of homeless during the winter is the
problem that Is facing many govern
ments. Those Belgians who fed their
country and sought refuge In France
are said to be absolutely destitute. In
many cases weak from hunger and
sufferings. This large influx has
brought France face to face with a
big problem. England apparently has
30 far absorbed those refugees who
have reached her shores and will prob
ably be able to care for many more.

ROBBED HOMESTEADER
OF ALL HIS HORSES
FURTHER DETAILS OF THIEVERY
NEAR TEcoLoTE ARE RE-
CElVED HERE

The man who suffered by the depre-
dations of horse thieves Tuesday night
on the road near Tecolote is Charles
w. Bennett, a dryfarmer of Moriarty,
N. NJ, who was returning overland
from Dodge City, Kan, where he had
taken his family early this summer on
a vacation trip. He had about rs head
OF horses that he had bought in Kan
sas and on the road, and it was from
this herd that the thieves took.
The sheriff, Roman Gallegos, who is
working on the case, believes that he
has information that will lead to the
speedy apprehension of the gang that
has been infesting the neighborhood
of Tecolote all summer, and that they
cannot possibly get away That the
thefts have been the work of band
of outlaws, and not of one man, is
generally believed, and that they are
skilled criminals is evidenced by the
success they have always had in COW
ering their trail
Now, however, a clew has been un-
covered which it is believed by the au-
thCrities, soon will lead to the arrest
of the leaders and the disruption of
the gang.
