PENSION FOR DISABILITY
 FROM WAR SERVICES
In Great Britain Medical Experts Must Pass on Subjects Condition.

London, Feb. 2s-A statement made by a discharged soldier, summoned to court for failure to pay alimony, that a great many men discharged from the army for disability receive no pen sions, has put the war office on the defensive. The war office has defi- nftely promised pensions for disability due to disease resulting from war ser vice. But it now appears from an of f1cia1 statement that the men have to prove that their disability is directly due to war service. If 1t is shown that they had the seeds of some dis abling disease in their systems at the time of their enlistment, which de- veloped straightway on the ordinary exposures of soldering, they get no pensions. But their cases are first gone into carefully by medical ex- perts.
