SPANISH WAR MEN
SEEK PENSION RAISE

Members OF George P. Farrell Camp
OF the United States Spanish War
veterans have commenced a vigorous
campaign in support OF certain meas
ures now pending before Congress,
providing for their recognition on
the same basis as veterans of other
wars, and to secure II possible more
beneficial legislation affecting Span
ish War Veterans. all of whom were
volunteers, than Is now on the stat
ute books OF the United States.
They feel they are entitled 10 the
same consideration in the way of
hospital service, increased pensions
and other legislation now enjoyed by
older as well as younger veterans
OF the military and naval service.
The men who fought the Spaniard
in the fever-stricken jungles OF
Cuba and the Philippines are getting
on in years and feel they are entitled
to more generous pensions from the
country. Twelve dollars per month,
the minimum pension now allowed
them. is not enough to be OF any ma
terial assistance, they claim, when
the cost OF living has increased near
" one hundred per cent. over what
II was at the time the present pen
sion law was passed. The veterans
are going to use every legitimate
means in their power 10 see II they
obtain from the government
enough. at least, to guarantee them
respectable living in their old ag''
many OF them being too old to work.
An examination OF Delaware laws
reveals that with one or two minor
exceptions. which are applicable to
World War veterans only. all soldier
legislation in Delaware specifically
is confined to the veterans of the
Civil War. The Spanish War men
feel that all this legislation should
be made applicable to all honorably
soldiers or sailors who
served in any war in which the Gov
ernment had been or may be en-
gagged.
On Monday night officers will be /
elected to serve during the ensuing I
year. and the business meeting will /
be followed by a smoker.

When DR.. Meredith I. Samuel,
medical head of the Veterans Bu-
reau. was seen at the offices OF the
bureau on the fourth floor OF the du-
Pont Building today. He read the
charges carefully. then declared:
There is no truth in the allega-
tions whatsoever. As far as an in
veetigation of the Brandywine Sani-
tarium is concerned the bureau
heartily welcomes It. We have only
two cases at the Sanitarium which
have not been adjusted. Reason for
the lack OF adjustment Is due TO the
inability of the soldiers under treat
ment to produce evidence connect
ing their disability with the service.
This office has used and is using
every means in its possession to as
sist these two men in obtaining the
evidence they require. In the mean
time the government is keeping
thm in the san'tarium without ex-
them in the sanitarium without ex-
pense OF any kind to them"
Taking up the qpestion OF the en-
dorsement given by the American
Legion at its last convention, DR..
Samuel said:
The American Legion passed the
resolution commencing the bureau
for its work unanimously. thus show
ing that those who have taken an
active interest in this Office feel as

Furthermore, il there is any way

excuse TO overthrow him. Premier
Poincare was more firmly in the sad
die than ever today. strengthened by
an overwhelming vote OF confidence

The strength of the "bloc ma

strong interpretations by Deputies

continue reparations parleys on his
