Paris Correspondence of The As
ISOLATED Press. Cur pension laws
will necessarily develop an importance
equal to those of the United States
after the American Civil War" says
Deputy Pierre Masse, reporter for the
pensions committee of the chamber.
Those laws" he adds, will carry
such heavy appropriations as to exer-
else q greater influence-social and
p0litical--then all the social legislation
Of recent years"
Two important reforms are proposed
in pension bills that the committee has
reported favorably The pensions of
widows are to be increased proportion
ately to the number of orphans and
pensions will be granted to mothers for
the loss of sons who were their main
support
The rates provided for the new law
are from 563 francs (Sll2) for widows
of private soldiers running from that
figure through the various grades up
to $3.50 francs (s1,050) a year for the
widow of a general of division; these
figures being subject to increase in the
case of orphans II the soldier or Of
ficer died of wounds not received in
battle or of disease contracted while
on duty the pensions run from 375
francs $75l 10 $500 francs (S700) year
No statistics of the number of killed
and manned in the French army are
available to the public but the indica-
tons given by Monsieur Masse, who
knows, are to the effect that Frances
pension burden will be heavier than
that of the United States after the
Civil war.
Lausanne, Switzerland, According
to news received here from Mutterz.
a heavy consignment of cotton that

said TO have received from Germany
about the same time thousand large
tin boxes. 1t was noticed that the
cotton was gradually disappearing:
the tin boxes also. The cotton, COM
pressed in the boxes, found its way
into the Rhine and was fished out by
the Baden ferrymen who operate the

past so years has gone through
the same change as has the busi-
ness of manufacturing steel rails,
cotton cloth and shoes. Killing
men by hand is now as much out
of date as Is the manufacture OF
rails, cloth and shoes by hand.
Killing is now by wholesale and
this requires billions of money.
Moreover, governments must
borrow money the same as do
steel companies and shoe fac
tories. This the governments
have done by issuing bonds.
Up to the present time, the al
lies have borrowed for the war
over 100000 1000 and Ger
many over $4,000 900, 900, max
ing a total of $4,000, 100000.
The Workers Must Pay.
These bonds are just like the
bonds any corporation would is
sue. They are just like note
that you would give a neigh Dor
for a piece of land, or in payment
of a bill. They should be paid,
principal and interest. The inter-
est alone on these bonds will
amount to over $200,000,000 a
year.
When the working people of
Europe finally get it through
their heads that they are the ones
who must ultimately pay all these
bills; that while they are getting
poorer the manufacturers are get
ting richer; and that modern war
results simply in taking money
out of the pockets of the poor peo-
pie and putting 1t into the pockets
of the rich people, 1t seems as IL
