PENSION POINTERS
Inquiries Asswered and
Made
Suggestions
Subscriber Bath N Y To definitelydetermine a soldiers record write tothe Military Secretary War Depart-ment
¬
Washington D CReader Los Angeles Cal The state-
ment¬
that a pension claim Is alwayspending until allowed means that aclaimant can at any time introduce newevidence in support of a rejected claimNo claim is finally rojected if it can beshown that the rejection was not right
W D C Springfield Mo If youreceived your disabilities while servingas a private and your death should bethe result of such disabilities your wifewill receive 12 per month at yourdeath since you were married prior toMarch 19 1886 If your death shouldbe due to other causes her pension willbe 8 per month provided her incomeis less thin J250 per year
J G Hartford Mich It has beenheld by the Pension Bureau that awidow cannot prosecute a claim for In-
crease¬
of pension of her deceased hus ¬
band for a condition alleged to havearisen subsequent to the rejection ofthe claim filed he having made no claimfor same during his lifetime
Subscriber Kansas A decree of di-
vorce¬
that appears to be regular andvalid on Its face Is accepted by thePension Bureau as terminating a mar-riage
¬
contract The validity of the de-
cree¬
is not questioned by the Depart-ment
¬
particularly in claims under theact of March 3 1899 half pay to wivesIf the validity of the decree of divorceIs to be attacked it should be in thecourt where the same was Issued
Legaspi The act of March 19 1386provides that the rate for widows minorchildren and dependent relatives nowon the rolls at a less rate than herein-after
¬
provided shall be 12 per monthand the act further provides that thisshall apply only to widows who mar¬
ried the soldier nrior to March 19 1886It will be noted that this act deals onlywith widows and dependent pensionersthat are receiving less than 12 permonth and docs not affect the rate ailowed officers widows
C II T Ohio No act has beenpassed for the benefit of those who lostlimbs in service since March z iaujAs soon as any bill has been enacted inthe Interest of this class the readers ofThe National Tribune will be advised
Gaul Injury Incurred by a soldierIn confinement undergoing sentence ofa court martial is not considered in lineof dutv and is so held by the PensionBureau It is also doubtful whetherdiseases that first make their appearance while the soldier is in confinementcould be established as having beencontracted in line of duty

Dont Give Up the CharterEditor National Tribune The rea
son that some G A R Posts give uptheir charters Is the need of moneyAbout six years ago there was talkabout giving up our charter I madethe following proposition which I madeas Quartermaster and which was carried out I 3ald Only about live orsix members come to a meeting Letus give up the hall and meet In one ofour homes sell our furniture divide themoney and keep a few dollars on handfor Incidental expenses We are now12 members In good standing I col-

A Trying Phone of the Life of the AgeingSoldier
Editor National Tribune The Government has done well Is doing wellfor the old soldier It is more liberalto its defenders than any other Govern-ment
¬
on earth But conceding all thisit docs not follow that it is doing allthat it ought to do
There are but comparatively few meneven among those whose vitality has notbeen Impaired by the hardships and In-
juries¬
of military service whoso bread- -winning ability has not deterioratedAnd when we consider the terriblestrain of such active service as thatwhich fell ti the lotof the soldier dur-ing
¬
a period of from two to four yearscould any other rsult be looked for butthat there are compHratlvely few whoare not practically physical wrecks atthe ago of 75 7
There are thousands of soldiers whohave reached the aeeof 75 who are receiving less than20 per month Everyone knows that 20 per month will notdecently provide f6r the needs of eventwo persons I frequently hear such re-marks
¬
as this i am getting so oldand broken down that I am able to dobut very little work or keep up mybusiness and I am not getting pensionenough to meet my heeds and I dontknow what In the wdrld I am going todo and as I note their sad anxiouslookmynieart aches for them
The bill now before Congress proposing to fix the rate at 20 per monthat 75 years of age ought to be amendedso as to read 25 That amount withproper economy would fairly support aveteran and his wife and would driveaway the financial blues which darkenthe lives of so many veterans andwould add but a few thousands of dol-lars

Ienalon for Ex Prlaoners of WarEditor National Tribune If there
Is a just deserving and well earnedpension due any particular class of sol-diers
¬
of tho civil war the ex prisonersundoubtedly belong to that class Theirsufferings and privations were withoutcomprehension except by themselvesThe young people who have read his ¬
tories of prison life often ask if suchhistory Is true and when told thatwords cannot express those horrorsthey seem surprised that any of themsurvived
Many prisoners were deprived ofpromotion on account of being prison-ers
¬
The pension bill Introduced byCongressman Hamilton of Michiganwould only be a partial compensationto these soldiers as a money considera-tion
¬
cannot return to the prisoner hislost health and broken constitution
All ex prlsoncrs should urge the passago of this bill insist that it be takenup and not allowed to die In the handsof the Penilon Committee as all bills ofa similar character have dono hereto-fore

¬
Brigade faced south and had infront all of Sheridan s artillery
Hardee immediately attacked withthe greatest impetuosity for the wholeConfederate plan of battle was now atits most critical moment If Hardeecould break through Sheridans sadlythinned division he would take boththe Center and L ft of the Union armyIn the rear and its defeat would be im-mediate
¬
and overwhelmingFor an hour the fighting was fierce
and bloody beyond anything earlier Inhe day Sheridan repulsed every at
tack and the hours delay saved thearmy for Rosecrans was now rushingeverybody in reach up to a new linealong the Nashvile Road behind Sheridan s blazing front
Sheridan lost the gallant Roberts andSchaeffer who had been such towers ofstrength to him and fully 1800 killedand wounded His artillery had beenwrecked by tho concentrated fire ofthe Confederate guns but he and hismen were still undismayed Theywere now suffering from an exhaustionof ammunltiqp Whartons cavalry hadcaptured Mccooks ammunition trainand there were no more cartridges tobe had for either muskets or cannonThe last charges upon the line had beenmet by Sherldans undaunted heroeswith countercharges with the bayonet
Rosecrans had been galloping backand forth along the Nashville Road andthrough the fields forming his new lineThomas had pushed forward Rousseauinto the cedars behind Sheridan andRosecrans formed Van Cloves Divisionon Rousseaus right between the woodsand the railroad Harkera Brigade ofWoods Division was placed on vanCleves right and Wood with his othertwo brigades stationed In reserve Inthe emergency the Engineer Brigadewas brought Into lino upon a highknoll on the right to support the artillery where it did excellent service
About 1030 Sheridan led the rem-nant

The Pivotal Point of the llattleThis position became the pivotal
point of the battle Rousseau sent inthe Regular Brigade commanded byCol O L Shepherd to establish theright of his line In the cedars and itran directly Into an overwhelmingswarm of rebels pushing forward furi-ously
¬
in pursuit of Sheridan A briefsavage fight ensued and Rousseau withdrew his men with the Regulars cov-ering

tho movement So critical wastho movement that both Rosecrans andThomas hurried over to Rousseau toassist him in forming a new line backnear the road This was accomplishedabout 11 o clock and proved to be theturning point of the battle
Braggs fierce battle had now reachedand passed Its maximum Ho hadthrown probably 20000 men on ourthin right flank striking and crushingone small division at a time As McCooks whole corps only numbered15933 effectives when he left Nashvillethe divisions must have averaged lessthan 5000 men on the morning of Dec31 As the battle progressed Bragpushed In his whole force exceptBreckinridges Division and by 1130had probably over 40000 men en-gaged
