In spite Of the frequent explana-
tons that have been made both by
the pre-! .ad by bulletins sent out
from the pension bureau. there seems
to be mistaken opinion on the part
of many Of the pensioners who are
entitled to an increase in pension
through the provisions OF the ASH
brook bill which was passed in the
closing sessions of Congress. The
Ashbrook widows pension bill, as It
is known, raises the marriage re-
strictions from June 9th, 1905, Is
years. 1t restores to remarked
widows their former penslonable
status regardless OF other marriages.
Widows who have been or may be
divorced without fault on their part
are also entitled to a pension. All
such widows under the age OF 10 are
entitled to $12 per month and all
over 40 are entitled to $40 a month
All widows who were the wives of
soldiers during their service are en-
titled to $40 per month whether 10
years OF age or not. Widows OF all
wars. except the Spanish war are
beneficiaries, including Civil, Mexi-
can, Indian and the war of 1912, of
which there are still few survivors.
All widows who are now on the
pension roll will not be compelled 10
make another application and their
increase begins from the date OF the
law, to-wit, September 8, 1915. They
will be required to prove their age
in order to receive the $50 in the
same way as soldiers under the Sher-
wood bill. Those who are not now
on the pension roll and who are
benedclaries under this bill must flle
an application. Hundreds OF requests
for definite information and for filing
blanks have come in to the West
Virginia congressman who are look
ing after the claims of the pensioners
in their districts.

cent, and probably more, OF those
Progressiyes who were formerly Re-

legiance. II Is impossible to say how
many Of the Maine Progresslyes who
were formerly members OF the Demo-
cratic palsy also Joined the ,Republl-
cans In hiSSelectlon, but assuredly,
there were not a few Of them, They,
like Raymond Robins and others Of
national repute, evidently prefer
Hughes to Wilson,
IT is to be emphasized that the
Maine campaign was one which was
concerned strictly with the issues
which are before this country this
year in the national campaign, Per-
haps no state election was ever held
in which local issues were so COM
pletely overshadowed by the national
Issues as in Maine this year. The
result must be regarded as portend-
ing strongly bigger results In tho

In the death OF General Albert L.
Mills, which occurred here this
week. the national guard OF the coun-
try lost one OF its most loyal and
staunchest friends. During his four
years as head Of the military bu-
reau OF the war department, Gen.
eral Mills worked out the moblliza-
tion OF the state troops. which have
been used so successfully during the
Mexican border situation. He con-
tended vigorously for increasing the
efficiency OF the guard and while Sc.
verely critical of its faults was in
sympathy with its cause. His last
years had been spent in reorganiz-
ing the militia and bringing about
better understanding. a higher de-
gree Of sympathy and cooperation
between II and the regular army. The
task OF federalizing the state troops
under the reorganization plan laid
out by Congress largely rested
on General Mills as chief OF the
militia bureau.
