GET INCREASES IN PENSIONS

Special Force Necessary to Handle the Work. Washington, June 15. —It has become necessary to organizze a special force for the pension office to handle the wor kof increasing the allotments to civil war veterans under the act of congress recently signed by’ the President. This law becomes effective too late to include the increases in the checks for July 4, but they will be added to the next quarterly payment. The act ,provides S3O a month for soldiers and sailors of any age who served ninety’ days and less than six months in- the civil war anu was honorably discharged. . Those who are seventy-two years old or over and served six months will receive $32 a month; one year, s3.> a month; one and a half years, S3B a month, and two years or over, S4O a month. Pensioners now on the rolls*under act of May 11, 1912, will get this increase of pension without application on their part. Soldiers and sailbrS of the civil war pensioned at lower .rates tinder some law other than the act of May 11, 1912, must file application under the act to receive the benefits of the new law. »

CASUALTIES NOW TOTAL 8,085

770.0 n American List During Week Ending List Sunday. Washington, June 16.—-Seven hundred and seventy casualties reported among the Ametican expeditionary forces during the week ending today brought the total since American troops first landed in France a year ago to 8,085. The second weekly summary of casualties issued today by the war department shows that the total number of deaths from all causes is 3,193, while 4,547 men have been wounded in action and 346 are missing in action, including all men held prisoners in Germany. The summary, which includes today’s list, follows: Killed in action (including 291 at sea), 1,172; died of wounds, 364; died of disease, 1,234; died of accident and other causes, 422;

wounded in action, 4,547; missing in action (including prisoners'), 346. Total casualties reported to date, 8,085. With more than 800,000 soldiers sent overseas, officials pointed to the small number, 291 lost through operations of German submarines as showing the effectiveness of the convoy system.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

The idle rich are showing their right to be bn earth; to war we see them going, to scrap for all they're worth. Not sullenly or slowly, and not with feet congealed, but with a fervor holy the rich boys seek the field. They’re fighting in the navy, and every morn they pray, ‘Oh, let us knock the gravy from some fat foe today!’’ They’re training and they're drilling with patriotic vim, they’re full of pep and willing to sacrifice a limb. Their lives at home were sunny, it was their joy and pride to blow in all the money their fathers would provide. * The* rode in cstrhioned motors, regardless of the cost, and I and other voters considered them a frost. But now we see them piling where raging armies meet, and they are surely proving, that they’re as good as wheat. The gilded lads are building themselves a laurel wreath; they’ve shaken off the gilding, and shown the gold beneath. Their fathers pay the taxes, with smile, serene and high, and they swing battle-axes, and make the Teuton fly. They are so deep in slaughter, they heed not bulls and bears; on land, in air and water, you see the millionaires.

SERVICE FLAG IS DEDICATED

(Continued from page one)

J. M. Sauser and Lieut. A. E. Wallace. George H. Hammerton presided as chairman and opened the meeting by Healy’s band playing “America,’’ the Words of which were sung by a choir on the platform. L. H. Hamilton'was then introduced and gave his vidws of the war in a stirrin fc and patriotic speech, calling upon each and every person to take the war to their own home's and there do all within their power to make victory possible and soon. Mr. Hamilton was followed by Hoh. W. L. Wood, who is at his best when arraigning the kaiser, and on this occasion he did not mince words in telling his views and what he felt must be done in order to win the war. At the same time he paid a tribute of honor and respect to the forty young men from that community whom they had assembled that day to honor. John Alter also spoke briefly and fittingly, his words being consoling to the mothers and sisters to a large degree. Mrs. Harvey Mess-j man also delighted the audience with a reading, extolling their Ser-] vice Flag and the youigg men whom it commemorated. Next came the unveiling of the Service Flag, in charge of the Rev. I G. E. Downey, pastor of the M. E. ■ church of Fair Oaks, who spoke fitting phrases as the mothers oi | other near and dear ones of the soldier boys came forward and pinned “their boy’s’’ star to the flag.' Floating from a high yole in the center of the park was Old plory, and when the stars had all been affixed the Service Flag was raised to a point just beneath the Stars] and Stripes by two of the war] mothers, Mrs. Myers and Mrs. j Gundy, who, with tears streaming down- their cheeks proclaimed to' the world that they and the other mothers proudly gave their all for humanity’s sake. Much credit for the success of the occasion is due S. A. Brusna-' han, who worked early and late that no detail might be left unprovided for. The people of Union township asked us to express u word of thanks to the Rensselaer Liberty Guards for their part in the affair, and the Guards also wish to publicly express their appreciation to Sam Karnowsky for ths gratis use of his large truck to convey’ men and equipment to and from Parr, Following is a list of the names of the young men from Union township for whom the Service Flag was dedicated: Leslie Zellers, Solomon Yodbr, Earl Wiseman, Herbert Bozelle, James Hill, Harvey Myers, Jacob Davis, Stanlius S. Brusnahan, Allen Bowser, Orville Bowser, M. H. Myers, William Gundy, William F. Reed, Willie A. Potts, Paul Karr, Frank McCurtain, -Daniel Leiehty, Max Schultz, Leo Zellers, Alfred Longstreth, Charles Porter, S. E. Randolph, E. C. Henry, William Teske, Lonnie Davisson, Leo Kruger, Firnot Schultz, Roscoe Reeder, Ernest Garriott, James Brouhard, Jesse Brouhard, Grover E. Wood, Ross Wood, Wallace Miller, John Roorda, Dudley Myers, John Kauffman, John E. Kimble, Edgar Kruger, Don Sutton, Jasper Williams.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

LETTERS FROM OUR SOLDIERS

I have only been on the rifle range once since I have been here but 1 made better than an average score. The war news looks pretty good now. I do not see wherS the Germans have any hopes left of getting anything but a real threshing, and, believe me, if you could see the bunch here and. know bow anx ? ■ous they are to get a crack at the Fritziec you would realize that they mean business. Well, I can not think of any news; the longer I am here the harder it is for me to write a letter, as every thing, is the same each day. I got a box of candy from Bertha and Zelah; it sure does taste good. I am making it last as long as possible as it probably is the last home candy I will -get for some time. Well, I vfrill close for this time. I will write again the first chance I get, probably tomorrow, so goodbye for this time. With love to all. JESSE E. WISEMAN.

Frank McDonald Writes Home From the Navy. , Frank McDonald, a son of James M. McDonald, formerly of McCoysburg but now residing near Des Moines, lowa, writes to Ernest Moi lan, his cousin, of his work in the U. S. navy, in which he has served for the past five years; New York City, June 15, 1918. Just got back from. France, completing my fourth trip in even three months; now that is doing pretty good for us. Our last trip was one of some excitement, and it got quite interesting as the days went along. On May 28 we were about 600 miles off the French coast when at about 9 p. m. there was an English meredant ship suGk within a mile of us. We could easy see the glare of the explosion and hear the report. The next day one of the American destroyers got put out of action in a surface fight with an armed German sub and had to withdraw owing to the Huns plac- | ing a shot through the stern of the destroyer and disabling the steering engine. | And on May 31, at 9 a. m., the I U. S. S. President Lincoln was twice torpedoed and sent to the bottom in just twenty-five minutds, with twenty-seven of the crew of 740 missing. It is the first transport that we have lost. The Lincoln was a big ship with a carrying capacity of 5,000 soldiers.and about 20,000 tons of cargo; was a slow 1 ship and was sunk about 600 miles from 1 France on her way back to I the States. The loss of men was I small, considering the place where the ship was sunk. Along, in the afternoon the German sub came to the surface and took pictures of the crew’ and looked in all of the boats for the captain but failed to find him, so they took the executive ' officer and two enlisted men as their prisoners and sailed out. Don’t think that they got far be- ! cause the destroyed Smith sighted [a sub and run'it down, and after dropping two depth bombs got almost positive proof that the sub’s sides were caved in and she now lies on the bottom of the sea with the Lincoln. * The crew of the Lincoln was picked up about midnight by the destroyers, and on June 2 we got over 700 survivors aboard the destroyer, and on June 5 we sailed for the States, arriving June 12. We make it across and back in sixteen to twenty days, just depends on what ships are with us. When w’e go alone we make world’s records, have the quickest time record yet —sixteen days and fourteen hours fromi New York to , France, and return. \ We don’t stay very long 8n either port and most all of our time is spent on the sea. So far I have no complaint to make ex-, cept that it sure gets tiresome being at sea so much; Suppose you people are all as busy as can be with the work that farming requires, and it won’t be long until harvest time. Got a letter from Tott and they have a new place to live in now; said that she liked the place real well. Don’t know when I will get out that way; would like to pay them all a visit. I always send trinkets and stuff to her nearly every time I make a trip across and back. Was glad that you received the souvenirs and photo all O. K. Guess that I have said about all for this time, so will close.. Yours, as ever, FRANK.

One of the weekly papers at Hebron, the Herald, has discontinued publication because of the high cost of print paper and printing material in general. ♦ Reports to General Crowder substantially complete show _ that the number of men who became of age during the last year and who* registered June 5, totals 744,865. it is estimated that the number of twenty-one-year-old men who have enlisted is- 208,588. In Indiana 20,09 3 young men registered. “Since January 1 our navy has sunk twenty-eight German submarines and. our sailors should have the credit for. it,” declared United States Senator John W.
