PERSION CHANGES MADE. THE NEW ACT BEC YOMES EFFEC- TIVE ON SEPTEMBER 1ST. Already Paying Over 80. 000 Pensions Owing £0 the War--Sane and Equitable lation Necessary.

The most important change which {has been made is that authorizing jand lower ranks and to widows and between the United |other dependents of me embers of the |, {forces holding such rinks who have died or been killed. There are, however, other import- | ant amendments, such as, the clause | | which states that the earnings from | personal employment of a 'vidowed {mother shall not be taken into con-| brought |sideragn when an award of pension | Station, was massed between the flag-draped' {to such a person is made.

There was a separation agreement | at that time under which Mrs. de Mumm got an income of $1,000 a | month and by which she was eventu- ally to gat two-fifths 'of her hus- band's estate. But during the war Mrs: de Mumm was so conspicuously active for the Allied cause that when, after the war, she attempted to get into Ger- many to prosecute a divorce suit against her husband "she was pre- vented by the German government from crossing the border.

When it is considered that Canada with 'her comparatively small popu- lation is\'already paying well over $0,000 pensions on account of the great war, and is still awarding pen- sions at the' rate of over 130 per day, the necessity for sane and equit- able legislation, such as the Pension Act appears to provide, is manifest. \ KINGSTON: TEAM WINS.

To combine two phrases above mentioned 'battalion of death" is firing wildly | into.the air to maintain the passion-| ate bitterness upon which their op-| position is based.

There is a strong feeling of repul sion, caused by the hellef that a ma- jority in the committee Has no idea of attempting to improve the treaty from the national Unitéd States standpoint but 4s determined to so alter and masculate it that the Presidént could not, for very shame, submit it in its mutilated form to the Allies of Germany for approval. ¢ Split In Of Opposition. The split in the ranks of the op- position that has been anticipated grows more apparent. Yesterday the schism was definitely shown when Senator McCumber, Republi- can, of North Dakota, made a very able speech in defence of the Shan- tung articles, and condemning the action of the committee in amend- ing the treaty in the clauses dealing with this matter... He was supported by Senators Nelsom, Kellogg and other Republi¢ans, while Senators Borah and Noris opposed. . This feeling of disgust, {t is be- lieved, will spread rapidly through- out the country, where the feeling is that though the presideat did his best in® Paris, he might have dope better, and that it 4s the duty of the Senate, if it is possible without jeopardizing the peace of the world or delaying ratification too long, t8 strengthen the treaty. from the stanl- point of thé United States.

The coming sefies of contests oe- curring as they do in six out of the nine proviiices, will constitute a highly interesting test of public opinion on issues now unclouded by the war. .
