HOW NEW PENSION MEASURE AFFECTS
 SOLDIERS WIDOWS

Commissioner G. M. Saltzberger of the bureau of pensions, department of the interior, has outlined the effect of the new pension bill as follows:
 If person is pensioned as the wid- ow of a soldier, sailor, or marine, who served in the Civil War, or who was his lawful wife during the period of his service in said war, or as the widow of a soldier, sailor, or marine, who served in the Civil War, the War with Mexico, or the War of 1912, and who has reached the age of 70 years. she should, if she has not already done so, write a letter to the Com missioner of Pensions, being careful to state in the same, correctly, her pension certificate number, the name and service of the soldier, sailor, or marine, the exact date of her birth, the place of her birth, her name as it appears in her pension certificate, and her present post office address in full. No further formal application is necessary to secure the benefits of the increase of pension granted by the first section of the Act approved by the President, September 8, 1916.
 If the evidence in her pension case shows that she is entitled to the in- crease of pension provided by this legislation, the Bureau will, as soon as possible, grant an increase. If further evidence be necessary, call will be issued. No claim agent or attorney will be recognized in con- nection with this matter.
 In order to obtain pension or re- newa1 of pension under the second section of the Act of Congress ap- proved September 8, 1916, a remar- ried widow who desires to claim the benefits of said section must file a formal application in this. Bureau.
 If a widow desires to claim pen sion under the third section. of the Act, which gives a widow, as de- scribed in section 2 of the Act ap- for pension if she married a soldier or sailor prior to June 27, 1905, 1t will be necessary for her to file formal application in this Bureau, claiming the benefits granted by that section.
