WIDOWS OF ALL WARS WILL GET S25AM0NTH T" T" 1 A. T

rounastone lens adoui increase In Pensions Under New Law. By RAMSEY POUNDSTONE Tuesday The Palladium published a review of those provisions of the re cently enacted war Risk insurance act pertaining to the allotment of soldiers' pay for the support of dependent relatives, and the family allowances made by the government as contributory support to such dependents. Article three of the War Risk law deals with compensation for death or disability. Under this article the government obligates itself to pay compensation for the death or disability of a commissioned officer or an enlisted man, resulting from personal injury suffered or disease contracted in the line of duty. Women members of the army and the navy nurse corps also are included in the provisions of this article. Interests Other Widows 'The concluding section of article three Is of vital Interest to the widows of BOldlers of the Civil War, the war with Spain, and the Philippine Insurrection, now on the pension roll or who shall hereafter be placed on the pension roll. This section provides a monthly minimum pension of $25 per month. This new pension rate is now operative. Heretofore, under the general pension laws, pensioned widows of rMvn War soldiers, under the age of seventy, were entitled to a pension of $12 per month. Soldiers wiaows wno were seventy or over that age were entitled to a pension of $20 per month. . For the former class the new law means a pension lncrepe of $13 per month. For widows seventy or older it means an increase of $5 per month. Members of the Indiana congressional delegation played an active part in saving this section of the law.

It proposes that people shall but wisely and without waste."

this, our own soldiers and the soldiers and peoples of our allies will be fed, and Americans

will be healthier, wealthier and wiser.

These foods are wheat, beef, pork, dairy products and sugar. , THE SOLUTION is for us to eat less of these and more of other foods of which we have an abundance, and to waste less of all foods. YOUR PART is to sign the pledge and enroll as a member of the Food Administration, agreeing to carry out the directions and advice of the Food Administrator in your home, so far as your circumstances permit.

ESCAPED GERMANS ARE NOT FOUND

ATLANTA. Ga., Oct 25. Although the ten Germans who escaped from the prison camp at Fort McPherson some time Tuesday night are thought to have come to Atlanta, search of the city by local agents of the department of justice and the police early today failed to locate them. The fugitives, members of the crews of former German raider Prlnz Eltel Friedrlch and the prize ship Appam, include three officers. One Is Lieut Hans Berg, of the German navy, who brought the Appam to Haapton Roads after capture by the Germans. Investigation at the Internment camp revealed that the men had escaped by means of a tunnel dug under one of the buildings used as sleeping quarteds to about twenty feet beyond the sentry post outside of the prison grounds. The crews of the Prlnz Eltel Friedrich and Appam recently were transferred here from Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., where they had been confined. RAILROAD CASE SET FOR NOV. 5 WASHINGTON, Oct 25. Application of the eastern railroads to the interstate commerce commission for financial relief, it was stated authoritatively today, will be disposed of be fore the first of the year. First hearing have been set by the commission j for November 5. ! As the case now shapes itself it is ' regarded unlikely that hearings will! be protracted, although the railroads will have every opportunity to state their case. The great bulk of the testimony, however, already has been placed before the commission In the first hearing of the 15 percent rate advance case, and it Is thought that the railroads merely will have to supplement that with statements of operations since that time. The commission is arranging to hold hearings practical without interruption until all the testimony is in. Much of the testimony will be devoted to the general phases of railroad finance, although a considerable part of the cases will include disposition of applications for advance rates on certain commodities already before the commission.
