MANY WIDOWS PRESENT
 CLAIMS FOR PENSIONS
Thought Applications Will Be For warded to Pension Bureau at Early na+a

Since the passage by congress of the Ashbrook pension bill on Sep tember 8 the offices of the pension department at the arrnory in Hartford have been rushed with applications of widows of veterans whom the bill made eligible. to receive pensions. It was said that during the past week that had passed since the bill be- came a law fewer than twenty wo- men had applied in person for the pensions. and that some twenty five had been received by mail. The latter were mostly from counsel who previously wrote for their clients to learn the exact con text of the law. It is thought that all applications would be forwarded to the pension bureau at Washington at an early date.
 According to the Ashbrook bill all Civil war widows who were married during their husbands service may receive a persion of $20 a month This will include for the first time many women who were married when their husband came home on furloughs and also many who mar ried when their husbands enlisted during the latter part of the war. There will also be eligible for pen sions of $20 a month all widows of veterans who have now reached or
 may reach the age of 10 years.
 All widows of veterans who were dropped by reason of their remar-

NEW BRIDGE FOR SHERMAN STREET

The contract for new reinforced concrete bridge to replace the older of the two bridges across the Yantic at the foot of Sherman street at the Falls has been let to the Connecticut Engi- neering company and work on the con- struction of the new bridge is to start immediately. The contract calls for completion within twenty-five days from the time the start is made and the contractors are to start work with in ten days time. The announcement of the awarding of the contract was made on Tuesday night by Selectman Casper K. Bailey Four bids were re- ceived by the selectmen up to o. clock Monday afternoon, the time of the closing and the Connecticut En- gineering company were the lowest bidders.
 The new bridge will replace the cas- terly branch of the Yantic which at

The limitation on marriages is extended fifteen years from 1890 to 1905. This extension, it is expected. will include the great mass of those women who married after the passage of the pension act of 1890.
 According to the latter act. which was enforced until the passage of the Ashbrook bill. only those wid- ows of veterans who were married before 1890 were eligible to receive a pension. which ordinarily was SIP a month.

this point is divided by an island. The bridge connects the mainland with the short road leading across the south er1y side of the island to the larger bridge at the westerly end of the is
 land and thence to Asylum street. The present bridge has done duty for a number of years and has outlived it's usefulness. The wooden planking has had to be repaired from time to time. The other bridge is the newer and larger of the two and is in good con dition at the present time. The new bridge will not only greatly improve the appearance of the locality but will insure safe passage across the river. The construction work will necessarily close the way to public travel for a short time and Selectman Bailey said that notice of the closing will be an- nounced in due time so as to fncon- venience travel as little as possible

And they passed the captain helped them with

LONDON, August 7.-The foreign office tomorrow will send memor- andum to Walter Hines Page, the American ambassador which will leave the way open for the resumption of the negotiations for feeding the civilian populations of the German occupied areas. the conditions for which as laid down by Great Britain were recently rejected by Germany.
 The memorandum will suggest that the United States government can re- open the question if it regards such a step advisable and useful.
 Germany's reply rejecting the British offer, which has already been pub lished in the United States and Great Britain's reply thereto, will be made public here within a few days. The British reply will deny the conten- tions of Germany that the British pro- posals were too long delayed and that owing to favorable crop reports action could be dispensed with after October l, and also that the next harvest would provide for the needs of the people with the exception of certain periods, when their condition will be strengthened. The reply will say that the first con- tention is so false that it is unworthy of discussion and that reports in the possession of the British government refute the latter.
 Discussing the phase of the situation today an official of the foreign office told the Associated Press that the offer to resume the negotiations would be made in good faith, but that no assur- ance could be given that the British proposals could be made again on the former basis, since the government had { been informed that the Germans were already taking the harvests in the oc- cupied areas.
