CIVIL WAR VETERANS
PENSIONS INCREASED

III Civil war veterans who are now
carried on pension rolls will soon be
drawing $50 a month or more under
the terms of the new pension law
which became operative June 10. The
commissioner Of pensions has issued
circular explaining the operations
CT this new act which reads as fol-
lows:
The act of June 10, 1918, amend
ing the Sherwood pension law of
May, II, 1912, provides the rate Of
$50 per month for soldiers and sail
ors of any age who served 80 days
and less than six months during the
Civil war and were honorably dis
charged, and who are now receiving
lower rate. Those who are ~
years of age, or over, are entitled to
receive S92 a month; those who serv-
ed one year, S35 a month; one and
one. half years, $3S month; and
two years of over, $40 a month.
"These increases will be granted
automatically, and without appilca-
tion of any kind to the pension bur
eau, to all soldiers and sailors now
rensioned under the act of May IL,
.912, and who have attained the re-
CURED age and served the necessary
length of time.
Soldiers and sailors who served
during the Civil war and are pen
stoned at lower rates under some
other law, but who are entitled to
pension under the act of May H.,
1912, will be required to file an ap-
rlicaton under that act in order to
receive the benefits of the new law.
The pension bureau will make
these allowances with all the dis
Latch possible under existing condi-
tions. A special force for the adjust
ment of cases within the provisions
OF the new law has been organized
which will handle these cases eXclu-
sively 1t should be borne in mind
by those concerned that there are
now nearly 26S,O0O pensioners un-
der the act of May |, 1912, and all
are urged to exercise patience and
consideration. While every effort
will be made to hasten this work,
there will be no avoidable interfer-
ence with the progress Of claims now
on file under other laws. A special
effort will be made not to interfere
claims.
1T will be wholly impracticable to
make any payments at the increased
rate on July 4, 1918, but it is hoped
that payments due August 4, 1918.
may be made at the rate provided by
the new law. 1t will not be neces-
sary to write to the bureau about
these increases. Letters of inquiry
will simply delay the work of making
allowances.

County Draft Board
Reclassifying Men

The draft board of Jackson county
has just about completed its work of
reclassfying the registered men and
has transferrd from 60 to 20 from
classes and 8 to class /.
This reclassification will have to
be passed on by the district draft
board at Eugene before it is accepted
as final and will be given out for pub
i!cation. Many Jackson county men
are affected by the reclassification
and will probably be called in the
draft in the near future.

Today's War
Summary

Fierce attacks are being made by
the Austrians to overcome the Italian
resistance along the Piave but the
defensive line still holds. Apparently
the enemy sees his only hope of sue
cess in enlarging his gains across the
Piave, having been given disastrous
check int mountains from west of
Asiago to the Piave.
In the mountains the Austrians
have been generally on the defensive
since they were checked and then
thrown back in the first day Of the
offensive. The French and British
around Asiago are under a heavy en-
emy bombardment and the French

! Washington. June 19.-vigorous
protest against immediate absolute
prohibition was made = before the
senate agriculture committee today
by Bainbridge Colby. member of the
shipping board, who declared II beer
were taken from the -workmen the
output of American shipyards would
be reduced 25 per cent.
l Mr.. Colby said he appeared at the
request OF Chairman Hurley as a rep
resentative Of the shipping board. OF
the pending Jones prohibition amend
ment to the emergency agriculture
bill, he said:
I'VE believed that the effect that
this bit of legislation would be to re-
duce the efficiency Of the workers in
shipyards and reduce the output of
tonnage to a substantialSa lSamount."
\ Concluding arguments in favor of
prohibition were made by William j.
Bryan. who, replying to Mr.. Colby,
declared history showed labor IS
more efficient without liquor than
with it. He quoted Premier Lloyd
George as saying that England was
fighting Germany, Austrin and drink,
with drink as the greatest enemy,
|; While favoring total prohibition
Mr. Bryan said he believed reason
able time should be given for putting
1T into effect. In line with that opan-
ion he said he would recommend that
production of Intoxicating liquor
should be reduced by percentages u4-
til the nation had become dry.
