During my 80 years Of public
life, I've cast many votes about
which I had doubt and many more
that subsequent events proved I
probably was wrong.
But there was one vote about
which there can be no doubt. Each
passing year convinces me more
and more that I was right in vot-
ing against the declaration OF war
10 years ago.
I think the sober Judgment OF
history since then is almost unan1-
nous that going into that war was
one Of the greatest mistakes our
nation ever made.
Miseries Pyramided
Nearly every home under the
American flag has a vacant chair,
due to that war. Hundreds OF
thousands Of our best citizens lost
their lives. Other untold thou
sands became cripples and help
less invalids. The hearts Of tens
of thousands of mothers, wives,
sisters and daughters were broken.
The miseries it brought have pyra-
mided way beyond the power OF
IMAGINATION to grasp.
We are still bowed down with
the burden Of taxation that the
war cost. And what did America
get? Absolutely ntohing but re-
pudiated debts.
Our people not only have paid
the debts Of our Allies, but we are
paying pensions and providing
relief for millions Of unfortunate
people who are practically wards
Of the Government due to that
war.
This war has cost the Ameri-
can people this year about $780,
900, O0C for veterans benefits, $2.-
600, OOO, 900 for the bonus and
about 5000 100000 for retirements
and interest on the debt, and even
tually, we will have to pay the
debts themselves.
The only claim ever made for
this war was that it was q war
to end all war. The reverse is
true. Ever since the great war,
the world has been preparing for
the next war and even now Europe
is practically a military camp.

New weapons, new ways Of using
war material, tend to change the COM
plexion of war.
When the World War was at its
height the test of supremacy was bulk
Then, defensive warfare reached a
zenith. Never in the history Of all
the world were there such bulwalks.
The result: Stalemate.
Year after year the armies Of the
Entente and the allied forces faced
each other and remained almost sta
tionary by the very nature Of their
magnitude.
Another war, and the offensive will
outstrip the defensive. This is the
belief of military experts. The Nation
with the best offensive machine will
win.
Maneuvering, mobility, motorization
These are the SIMS of modern war
fare.
The army that can get around, in
back and on the f1anks Of its adversary
is the army that will win.
Hence, the great bulkiness of former
military machines Is being cut down.

nearly $70,000,000 in pensions. while
the Spanish War has cost
the Federal Government almost ST.
0O0, 100000 in pensions alone. 1t IS
noteworthy that within the last several
years the Spanish American pension
payments were very considerably lib
eralized, again conforming to the ira
ditional trend in this type of legisla-
ton.
Some interesting human facts are
found in Uncle Sans files on this sub
iect. Thus, it is seen that there now
are 1865 Civil War soldiers on the
pension rolls and dependents of e5.176
deceased veterans. There are more
than $4,000 Spanish War soldiers
alive and on the rolls, and two widows
and one daughter of men who fought
in the War of 1912. 1t seems incred-
ible that dependents of men who
fought in the first major conflict fol-
lowing the Revolution should still be
on the rolls, but it is a fact, never
theless.
Lydia Anne Graham Of Brushy Run,
w. Va, is the widow Of Isaac Graham,
a musician in Bodkin's Company, Vir-
ginia militia, who saw service way
back In 1912. She receives $50 a month
pension. Then there Is Carolina King
of Cheektowga, N. Y. Her husband
was a private in Stevens Company Of
the New York militia, and she, too, re-
ceives $50 a month from the Govern
ment that does not forget. The third
of this amazing triumvirate is Esther
Anne Hill Morgan Of Independence.
Oreg., whose father was private in
Clark's and McCumber's companies,
also of the New York militia. She is
a beneficiary to the extent Of $40 a
month.
The last survivar of the War with
Mexico was Owen Thomas Edgar, a
familiar figure in Washington. D. c.,
for many years. He died about six
years ago.
Daniel r. Bakeman is the name Of
the man who had the distinction Of
being the last surviving veteran Of the
Revolution. He died at Freedom, N. r,

who died in 1906, at 90. Just year
before, Hiram Cronk died. He was the
last survivor of the War of 1912, and
reached the ripe age Of los years.
DENSION authorities say that it will
= be at least 20 years or more before
the death of the last survivor of the
war between the States will be
marked, and that the twentieth CEN
tury will be nearing its end before the
last widow of a soldier of that war
will pass away. 1t will be the middle
of the present century before the peak
of World War disqualification costs
alone is reached. How much other
benefit payments will be increased dur
ing the succeeding decades time alone
can tell, of course. But that the
tendency toward increased liberaliza-
ton will continue seems to be a safe
prediction on the basis Of past history
and records.
It is noteworthy that virtually all
Of the Southern States have estab-
lished pension systems to take care
Of Confederate veterans. Large sums
have been expended by State govern
ments on this account.
The United States early began the
policy of veteran benefits. The first
national pension law was passed by
the Continental Congress in August.
1776, just 54 days after the signing of
the Declaration of Independence. The
pension system, thus begun, fostered
by a great deal Of subsequent legisla-
ton, was extended under the divided
jurisdiction of Congress, the War and
Navy Departments, the United States
courts and the Treasury. In 1888 the
office of commissioner Of pensions was
created, and in 1849 the Pension Office
became a bureau Of the Department Of
the Interior. Now all functions Of the
Pension Office have been vested in the
Veterans Administration. This last
consolidation tool place in 1880.

ing for ex-servce men Of the World
War was terminated in 1928. when the
total cost had reached about $645,-
100000.
That, in brief, is the picture Of World
War veteran benefit payments to date.
But, Of course, it is only part Of the
whole panorama of Uncle Sans war
time pension expenditures, the great
bulk of which grew out Of conflicts
which began during this month. In
cidentally, this April happens to be
the seventy-fifth anniversary Of the
beginning Of the War Between the
States. Pension costs for that war are
second in volume only to World War
payments.

Those who believe that America Is
military minded should look at the
record. With population of 127, ,000.-
900 people, the United States has in
uniform only OBS per cent Of its entire
citizenry Its Army is smaller than
any of these: Uruguay, Peru, Mica
ragua, Guatemala, Ecuador and
Czechoslovakia.
Costa Rica, its entire population not
quite as large as Washington, D. c.,
has an army one-third the size Of the
United States Army.
So, if the American Army is actually
lost to sight, at times, and seen only
on occasional parades-there is rea-
son. It's such a very little Army.
However, that is an essential of the
American military ssytem: A small
but highly-trained professional army
to serve as nucleus for the whole de-
fensive structure-and the offensive
structure, too.
WITH war threatened in Europe.
w and anything likely to happen,
this age-old policy of America may
prove the better part of wisdom. Times
have changed. Great, bulky armies

mobile enough. Experts can take an

entitled to such benefits. While So
35,000,0 900 already has been expended
in material recognition of the services
of the men who served in those earlier
wars Of the United States, Uncle Sam
has by no means finished paying.
On the basis Of an. authoritative
estimate, it is possible to say with a
real degree of accuracy that at least
1000 900 900 more will be added to
the already imposing total before the
last pensioner of these conflicts has
died.
THE total for the World War, how
ever, is even more gigantic. Since
the establishment in 1917 Of the War
Risk Insurance, the Federal Govern
ment has spent more than $1,000, ,000,-
900 for veterans relief work. Included
in this total are sums credited to COM
pensation, vocational training, hospi-
talization, administration, etc.
This figure does not include the most
recent so-called bonus. The maturity
value of the adjusted service certif1-

100000. How much of this total will
be turned in immediately for cash pay
ment is not known, but that 1t Is

Is conceded.
It Is estimated, unoficially but au-
thoritatively, that before World War
payments are finally concluded at
least $5o,o00.000,000 will have been
expended. for past experience has
shown that as time goes on increas-
ingly liberal legislation is passed-pen-
sions are given, then increased. and
finally the list of those entitled to re-
ceive such benefits is broadened. In
view of all this, 1t will be seen that
