Washington, Oct 1.-The govern
ment has paid about $5,OOO,OO0,OO0
in pensions since 1890, according to
the annual report of the commissions
er of pensions, and of this amount
more than $4,5OO,OOO,O0O has gone to
veterans of the Civil War. During the
fiscal year the Civil War pension
rolls were reduced 33,255, about 400
more than during 1914. When the
Civil War came the standing army
was small. Advocates OF prepared
ness are employing the commissions
ers report to show that il the coun-
try had been in condition to resist
the southern states, the war would
have lasted but short time, and the
enormous pension payment would
have been avoided. AS it was, the
northern enlistments, including the
draft numbered 2,2fIs,965 men. There
are today 396,370 survivors drawing
pensions. eass&

rolls including all wars and the caus-
es therefrom, at the close Of the fis-
cal year, was 74s,i47 or these near
