pension until rs years stter the close Of the war, and
then only upon proof of the soldiers death being of
service origin
The close Of this fiscal year we VIII have ex-
pended during this 12-month period for the benefit Of
the soldiers SASS, 600, 900. twice rs much as WIS ever
expended before in aid OF the soldier OF any war.
From the beginning Of the Revolutionary war until
July 4. 1865 years after the close of the war
no widow of an enlisted soldier who served in the
War for Independence was ever allowed . pension
But by the act of July 4, 1886, and several amenda-
tory acts, widows Of Revolutionary soldiers were al
lowed a pension at first of 81 and later So per month.
They were never allowed more than that until the act
of 1ss6-more than 100 years after the war.
Until the act of 1916 no widow Of the War Of
1912 received a pension But by that act widows of
soldiers who were killed in the service were allowed
hale pay, or $4s per year-s4 per month.
Widows of soldiers killed in the Mexican war re-
ceived half pay Of s4s per year for life, and it never
was increased above that amount until 1ss7-4o years
after the close of the war-and then increased to IS
per month.
In 1886 pensions of widows of Civil war veterans
were increased to SIP per month so that no widows
Of a Civil war veteran whose death resulted from in
jIries received or disease contracted in the service re-
eeived as much as s12 per month until over 20 years
after the close of the war. Their pensions remained
at s12 until 1916. when they were increase! to $50
per month. so that it was not until % years after the
close of the war that the widows of Civil war veterans
could receive a pension except upon proof that the
soldiers death was of service origin.
Widows of veterans of the Spanish war have never
been allowed a pension of more than S12 per month;
and prior TO the passage of the Sells act they were
never allowed that except in case where the soldiers
death was due TO Injury received or disease contracted
in the service.
IN connection with war insurance, las, 900 claims
have already been allowed. there is still in force insur-
nnee TO the amount Of IS, SOC, 900. 900. No govern
ment on the face of the earth ever made such pro-
vision before for the soldiers of any war. The de-
psrtment is handling 1000 new claims every day, in
addition to the 100000 already on file, and employ
ing 1000 ex-service men in performing the work.
Aside from and in addition to the foregoing. tie Vet
erans' Bureau has allowed $4,000 compensation
claims and has paid out in compensation benefits
S2eo, 00o, 900. s43, o00.0 900 represents the monthly
payments for the benefit of veterans through this bu-
reau. Vocational. training to 100000 disabled ex-
service mer.: hospital care for 10000 ex-service men
at an annual expenditure of s60.0oo.000 and expend-
ing 81 .ooo,o 900 cash daily for exservice men and their
dependents.
Since 1918 this government has expended s1,410,-
900, 900 and from now on, under the provisions of
laws already enacted it win cost the government
$4Ss,0o0.oo0 which is twice as much as was ever ex-
pended before for the soldiers of any war.

Work, SAGE and Pay

THE ALLIED EXPERTS at the Genoa conference
Il have uttered a clear economic truth in a set of
principles set forth for the reconstruction of the war
torn nations of Europe. They declare:
"The essential requisite for the economic rsconstruc-
tion of Europe is the achievement by each country of
stability in the value Of its currency. No country can
deficiency in the annual budget which is met by the
creation of paper money or bank credits It is for
every country 20 overcome such deficiency by its own
independent efforts"
The ancient doctrine of sef-help is weIl-stated in
this announcement, although. perhaps, with more
verbiage than necessary: "Spend less than your in
come is what the Allied experts are trying to impress
upon all European countries as a prerequisite to re-
stored stability.
There is no great mystery about sound national
finance. Government business is based upon exactly
the identical fundamental principles rs individual pri-
vate business. The manufacturer. the farmer. the
wage-earner, soon learn by experience. if they do not
income is headed for bankruptcy. The man who finds
his expenditures exceeding his income has one of two
alternatives-to increase his income or reduce his ex-
penses. Failing to adopt either course, his credit soon
disappears and financial disaster results
The same thing is true of governments. In an I'M
usual emergency either an individual or a government
must incur a debt, but on the passing of the emer-
gency, the first thought and effort should be directed
toward the reduction of the debt This important
end some of the European governments have been
slow in attempting to attain. Instead OF reducing
their debts, some of the nations have been adding to
their burdens. apparently trusting to fate to rescue
them from their difficulties.
Some of the European nations may have felt that
by some means the United States would be induced
to lift apart Of their burdens, and this hope may
have encouraged them to postpone the task of getting
their finances in good order. The refusal of this coun-
try to send delegates to the Genoa conference was due
notice that the people of America intend to give their
first consideration to the difficult problem of paying
their own debts and keeping their expenses within
their income. That is is the American policy the
Allied experts evidently realize, for they mince no
words in telling the delinquent nations to get down
to work and save and pay.

Too Much Bunk

IS LITTLE trouble these days in getting
l. your name in the newspapers. All that is necessary
is to think up some new, utterly absurd, unreasonable
or idiotic doctrine and PROFOUND it in public. News
psper space is the inevitable result.
Thus we have a lady who makes an address before
a school organization and who says that the trouble
with America is too many can openers. We are suffer
ing because our housewives don't cook enough food,
but depend too much on the Gamer. Wonder If we
talk too much over the phone and not enough face to
face, or travel too much in a train and not enough on
or read too much by electric light and not
enough by candle light?
Then comes a Chicago lawyer and grabs much pub
licity because he contends in arguing a case before a
jury that no man is really sane after he reaches fifty.
Recalls DIR. osler and his chloroform idea for forty
year olds. The 0ser theory having been demolished
promptly when first advanced, why does the Chicago
lawyer allow ten years grace. What makes them in
sane at ffty-too many lawyers?
The thing the matter with this country, IL it is
ailing at all, is neither too many cans or canopeners,
nor too many insane people at fifty, nor even too many
lawyers; the real trouble is too many open mouths
saying nothing worth while.
No man or woman ever made a public address who
had not a real opportunity to aid in the spread of real
knowledge, II he had the ability and understanding to
improve it But when a speaker. or a person who
assumes to impart information lacks appreciation to
improve, the occasion presented MIN. but utters simply
publicity-getting remarks, those who speak and those
who listen are all foolish.
