Pension War Orphans.

ROME, Jan. Soy mair)-Latest
statistics compiled by the italian gov
eminent indicate that the war has left
In Italy no less than 100000 orphans.
As yet. the definite basis upon which
these will be pensioned and taken
care Of by government has not been
decided upon. The plan. however, most
favored to date provides that each or
phan shall receive from the state a
regular allowance of twenty cents a
dsy until the age of sixteen years. !.
This would mean an annual pension
budget for orphans alone Of 81 ,300, 900.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-General
amnesty for all men convicted IN the
war by courts martial Is to be asked
OF President Wilson by Senator
Borah-
Tbis is the second step in the pro
gresstve senator's campaign TO rio
the United States of all traces OF
war.
Borah will cooperate with Senator
Chamberlain OF the military affairs
committee in hearings to show the
facts with respect to sentences meted
out to men OF the draft army. ALE.
cations laid before Borah, Chamber,
lain and other senators are to the
effect:
That a startling inequality existed
in the severity OF sentences imposed
on different men for the same
ohenses.
Thai undue severity was exercised
for minor attractions of military dis
cipline-
That courts martial have been
composed in some instances OF men
not qualified either by training OF
temperament, to sit as judges
Senators have been told that the
total of sentences during the war ran
wen above ten thousand. Neither
Borah or Chamberlain vouches for
these figures nor for the truth OF the
charges. Borah said today:
so many complaints have been
laid before me that l have asked that
the war department furnish the sen
ote complete data on all courts mar
tial cases. After this has been OBJ
tanned hearings may be necessary to
bring out additional facts. 1t is my
intention to ask President Wilson to
issue a general amnesty to all pris'
oners convicted and sentenced 70
prison by courts martial
This is that we may take the taste
of the war out of our mouths. 1t is
another step towards our old time
ideals of democracy and Justice

matter OF fact the returning soldiers
are filtering into Keolluk one ar
time. or in groups of from two to a
dozen or more. at all times OF ythe
twenty-four hours. as the trains ar

was seen that it is absolutely fmpos-

cradle fraction of the hundreds OF keo-
kCk soldiers who Joined the colors, at
the time OF their return to the city
