Pensions of Civil War Veterans
Considerably Increased

l will appreciate 1t If you will give
as much publicity as possible to the
following analysis OF the act of June 10,
1918, which is of interest to the soldiers
and sailors Of the Civil War, now on
the pension rolls of the Government.
The Act amends the Act of May II,
1912, and provides the rate Of $50 per
month for soldiers and sailors of any
age, who served ninety days and less
than six months during the Civil War
and were honorably discharged, and
who are now receiving a lower rate.
The other increases are as follows:
70 years and over, service 6 months
-S82 per month.
Service l year-S35 per month.
II years-S38
2 land oversee per month.
These increases will be granted auto
matically and no application of any.
kind is necessary, nor is it even neces-
sary to write to the Bureau; such in
quiries will only delay the work of
making these new allowances. The
Bureau hopes to include the increase
10 the August 4th checks; it will be
impossible to include it In the July 4th
payments.
No attorneys fees will be allowed or
paid for services in securing increase of
pension under the Act of June 10th.
Soldiers and sailors who served during
the Civil War and pensioned al lower
rates under some other law, but who
are entitled to pension under the Act of
May IL, 1912, will be required to file an
application under that Act in order to
receive the benefits of the new law.
1 would suggest that all Veterans
who are on the pension rolls, and who
are not certain If they are pensioned
under the Act of May IL, 1912, if they
will look at their pension certificates,
they will be able to determine this, and
those not so pensioned. if they will
communicate with me, 1 shall be glad
to send them the necessary application
blank and full information.
