Pensions or eX-COnfederates.
To the Editor OF THE TINES:
The time has come to pension the
Confederate soldiers. They are to a
man loyal Americans. They have
given this nation brave sons who
have fought its battles in the past,
and are now rallying to follow the
flag in the world war now raging in
Europe, and which is likely TO extend
to our own fair land. They have given
us tens of thousands Of fair daugh-
ters, exemplary in every regard. a
credit to womanhood. and countless
grandchildren, the pride OF the ma
tion.
There are not many OF the veterans
left, but the infirmities Of age and
the accidents of war incapacitate a
large per cent OF those who linger
with us for self-support They thus be-
come a real burden 10 their kin and
TO the State in which most OF them
live. II this great nation has become
rich enough to finance half q dozen
European nations. 1t certainly is able
to care for its own dependent SOL
diers, Federal and Confederate alike.
II the present Democratic Congress
and our Democratic President. for
political or partisan reasons, are re-
luctant TO bring this patriotic measur
OF Justice to the front. let the Re
publican and Progressive members of
Congress move in the matter. The
grea, Southern States have been
heavily taxed for the support of the
Government ever since the restora-
tion OF the Onion, and in the future
they are to be taxed more heavily.
So IL n eminently fair to relieve them
of the burdensome care Of the brave
surviving Confederates. The writer
fought these men from the beginning
to the end OF OF the civil war. and a }
Lincoln Republican in politics Is
ImpeIled to ask for this act OF justice.

Between the all highest one and the
realization OF those plans for world
power stood one frail little Parish
enne, the vivacious, well-meaning
Nine. Reitschel!
Next day We left the Schloss Lang
enberg. but before doing so we heard
with regret that our charming little
hostess had been suddenly taken ID
during the night. and the Kaiser, as a
mark Of favor, had ordered his doctor,
Vollerthun, to remain behind to at

great distress / saw from his face as
he stood on the little platform at IL

was in progress in that far-off SchIoss

truth became vividly apparent when
I read in the Staats-Anzeiger an an
nouncement that Frau Reitsched, the
young wife OF the famous Anton Reit-
/ schel OF COnstantinople, had been
