Civing Soldiers Pensions.

The first general pension law pass
ed in this country was that of March
| Is, 1S1S-this was 35 years after the
end of the Revolution and did not
apply to veterans of the War of 1912.
Only soldiers in INDECENT circum-
stances could obtain pensions under
it.
There were so many applications
for pensions that Congress passed the
alarm act" two years later, order
ing that property owners be dropped
from the pension rolls. Men who
owned so small an amount as $50
worth of property had their pensions
discontinued. May Is, 1928, or 40
years after the end of the war, SER
vice pension was granted to all who
served throughout the war. 1t was
49 years after the close of the war be-
fore pensions were granted to men
who served only six months.
War widows were first pensioned
in 1886, SO years after the end of the
end of the war. This act only ap-
piled to women married to soldiers
or sailors before the end of his last
service. Seventy years after the end
of the war all limitations as to date
of marriage were struck out.
The first general pension law af-
fecting men who fought in the naval
War of 1912 was not passed until SO
years after the close of the war.
Veterans of the war against Mexico
did not receive pensions, except in
special cases of need or disability, un-
til 80 years after the peace treaty was
signed. Veterans of the Indian Wars
did not receive pensions until SO
after the Black Hawk War.
A Civil War pension for disability
was provided in bill passed July Il
1S62-when the war had scarcely
begun. This was extended in 1873.
A general pension law affecting all
needy veterans went into effect in
1890. 1t provided for pensions Of
not more than $12 or less than Sc Il
month. The dollar-a-day law. for
which Gen. Isaac Sherwood, of Ohio,
fought SO long in Congress, was not
passed until June 10, 1918.

LuSitania ExecutiOner Dead.

Lieutenant Commander Schweiger
who commanded the submarine that
sank the Lusitania is dead. His
death occurred in September, 1917,
but has only now been admitted by
the German Admiralty, according to
reports received.
Last September Schweiger, in COM
mand of the U-9S, was in the Blight
of Helgoland with another submar-
inc. Both U-boats submerged and
the other felt a chain sweeping along
side his boat and believed he had run
into an unknown British minefeld.
A terrific explosion under water fol-
lowed. The second boat rose rapidly
and signalled for the other. There
was no reply. A vain search was
made for the U-SS and she has not
been heard of since. There is little
doubt, the reports say, that she sank.

WHY ENGLAND HOkORS HOOVER
KEPT WOLF FROM DOOR

"Thc war Is over-we are beaten"
the British food controller is reported
to have exclaimed when told the U. S.
had already shipped it's whole surplus
OF wheat. Britain at the beginning of
the year was consuming half million
tons OF food each month more than
the margin of safety permitted. Amer
lea then-not just the Government but
the loyal American people-saved the
day The danger of Britain being
starved out Of the Allied Camp was
aVerted TIL next summer at all events.
The problem now Is to build up re-
serve so that no risk may again be
run and the whole national energy
thrown into the job OF getting on
with the war"
Ii the United States had gone selfish
~ ahead, eating wheat as usual, and
not saving in export meats, actual
starvation might have faced the peo-
pie of the United Kingdom before now,
Fortunately, Mr.. Hoover's masterful
organizing genius was getting results,
and the breakdown In transportation
In the United States was gradually
tOhiCuiSt. hC faihtl lStu ptCplS ldF0
saved out of their domestic supply of
wheat about l000O0,000 bushels, and
likewise have enabled the Food Com.
missions to export far more meat, In
the last six months, than was orig,
!naily expected. In April, exports OF
bacon were nearly 100000 tons, com.
pared with 11,QU0 tons in April, 1917.
Having performed such splendid
service in conjunction with Lord
Rhondda. Mr.. Hoover is fully entitled
to the exceptional honors showered on
him in England,
This splendid achievement, In which
the people Of Maryland played their
!ull share, does not mean that wheat
thrift can now cease. Efforts must
not be relaxed. Next summer, If the
war still lasts the United States will
again have the responsibility of keep
ing fed the armies and civilized popu-
lution Of the Allies whose man-power
long ago was removed from the fields
to the trenches. No chances can be
run unless all the sacrifices Of the
past are TO count for naught. A re-
serve must be built up. Therefore 1t
Is not possible that there should be
here any material notifications In
the wheat regulations.

COTTAGE CHEESE is CHEAP

valuable fool Is sought in the cam

Administration and the Department Of
Agriculture have launched to curtail
this country's enormous waste Of skim

the score Of palatable forms in which
this nutritious commodity can be pre-.
pared.
In its most familiar form 1t bobs up
as Cottage Cheese, which Is equal TO
meat in food value. One pound Of
cottage cheese Is as good as dozen

Gas Tank EXplOdeS.

An lS0O-pound gas tank, on which Cy-
rus Palmer, son of Mr.. Upton Palmer,
and Raymond Beachley, son of MIR. Ell
mer E. Beachley, were seated at Myers
vile, Md, Wednesday afternoon, Aug
ust l4th, blew up with heavy report
and the two young men made narrow
escapes from death or serious injury.
The tank, which was supposed to have
been empty, but contained quantity of
gas, was being installed on the exterior
of the new canning plant, and Palmer
and Beachey were at work on the tank,
soldering pipes to it. A lighted torch,
which they were using, came IN contact
with some gas that was unknowingly
leaking, and the explosion followed.
Palmer, who was seated on the end of
the tank, doing the soldering, was pitch
ed several feet in the air, landing on his
head and shoulder, and was badly bruis-
ed and wrenched. Beachley, who was also
seated on the tank was not thrown off,
but was carried along with the tank over
a wire fence into bean patch. When
the tank landed on the ground, young
Beachley, thinking that another eXplo-
sion might occur, or that the German
army was attacking Myersville. jumped
from the tank and "hit the dust" He
was not injured at all.
The tank was badly damaged, every
seam being ripped open. The force of
the explosion was so terrific that the
tank was turned completely around and
then lifted from the ground and thrown
over the fence into the bean patch. Val

Save Sugar Now.
On You Depends Whether The
Supply Lasts Another Year.

Federal Food Administrator, Ed
win J. Baetjer, has sent out the fol-
lowing letter to all county admins
traitors and assistant merchant rep
resentatives, in order that sugar
saving may be brought more forceful
before the people of America. 1t
says:
"The sugar campaign comes on us
suddenly. Revised accounts OF losses
and resources and new statement OF
needs which we are honor bound to
meet compel sharp change in pro-
gram. We must act quickly-what
is not well begun in the next SIX
weeks will not be done at all.
The success of this program rests
on the honor and cooperation OF the
American people. What are they
doing now? We hear of people go
ing from store to store, trying to
double their portion over ami over.
They don't realize they are trying to
beat the game. That is failure OF
the program.
How was it in the wheat cam
paign? People everywhere vieing
with one another in zeal to play the
game. That was success.
Our success in the wheat campaign
Utterly held the Allies together thro'
the spring and winter. 1t did more
than any other thing to give them
comfort and courage until the tide
turned last month. 1t did more than
any other performance OF ours to es-
tablish American credit until the
splendid part our troops took in the
second Marne battle.
Again we are called upon to share
with those who sit at the common
table. 1t is a challenge of war con-
ditions to our humanity, our chivalry
and our worth. This time we are
required not to employ substitute
for necessary food, but to give up an
indulgence.
Shall we succeed? Ask yourselves.
Would we do it if it was to share with
a sick family next door instead OF
stricken neighbors across the sea?
We can if we will. We will if we
realize. But the time is short, The
background of the wheat campaign
was six months building, but the su-
gar campaign must be put through
in six weeks, or fail. 1t is the sec
ond large test of the twelve million
food administration membership.
They look to you, they trust you.
Get the situation home to them and
they will play the game.
We claim the right to share with
the allies. Let US give Mr.. Hoover,
now sitting in the allied food council,
fresh warrant to assure the nations
that America will make good. Let
us send by every ship substantial to-
kens of support to our boys over
there from an America worth dying
