How The Toronto_ Daily Star Gets You the
News of the Greatest Event in History.
Not since the Christian Era has any eve pt so changed the course lf the world's history as will the
Decisions Oij the Peace Conferences. The, keenest journalists in the wc 1 have gathered a1 Versailles.
WA' their ingenuity and resources will 'be exercised to get vital news first .
But among them there will be not finer group than the twenty-four meg representing The Tc.-
ronto Dargy Star. Some of these men also represent the Chicago Daily News. So 'You- may judge of theit
calibre.

Would atm apclaird them es men who
have done their duty, anrivould cheer-
fully support any legitimate measure of rec
ognitiou of the great service these men
have rendered to the state.
. In the fortunei of war it has happened
that many returned men are prevented
by the disability through wounds,- etc.,
from prcviding suitable support for their
families. This facthas been recognized
by yeur government, which has under-
taken to reimburse the aoldier for arsy
handicap under which he returns tolls
usual calling. Thisis termed a `paneion.'
Further it hat happened that many
soldiers in giving their all have left be-
hind dependents without ay means of
support save. that provided under the
pension scheme.
Now, sir, it is felt—and rightly so—
that the pension awarded_to a returned
soldier, or to the dependents of the un.
retur • g brave; is, at the`best, in 8Qne
eases adequate, in view of what our
,soldiers haWgiyen for Canada, and our
(-3( innion Christian civilization, But
when air attempt is made to reduce
these penaioes-, to cut them off entirely,
an 'emphatic irotlest is in d igant;
gross rj ustic.e.
It has conie to our knowledge that of
late there has been auch reduction and
outtiag otiad ,pensions, mot Noaly ofie

I 134; respectfully to draw your
tention, as Acting Prime Slinister;telhe
following concrete cases: _ •
• Case 1—A 'soldier having served in
C. E F. for two years and six montla
was returned to Caned.,- having been
shot through the lung, and the :ung
praciically gone, He received a pension
of $74 00 per month. Tt.e per (roir ih
month, and with scarcely any warning,
has beeh reduced to $19 per month.
Case 2—This man .3e cei ved injuries
after two years and four ne nths service,
that two inches of bons had te be taken
from his leg He received it pension for
himself, wife and three children at the
rate of $36 45 per month. This has, been
reduced with no warning to $9'12 per
month. His disability is not leas, but
even greater, his other leg being weaker
on account of the extra and unusual
strain•upon it.
Case 3—A soldier with two years and
nine months service was granted a.pen-
(lion of $27.20 per month on account of
his disability. This pensiost was cut in
half and the man protested at the 'in-
justice of reduction Hs was re-examined
and his pension ceased altogether.
Case soldier with two years and
Aloe mont,h8 service Was granted -a Pen-
sion of $7 50 per month fordisability'
caused by wounds in the head His
pension has now been cut to $5 -per
month.
Case 5—A soldier with two years ser-
vice was granted- a pension -of $13 10 per
month, on account of injuries received.
He re-enlisted when the N. C. O's were
needed to train draftees and served for
several months. The army medical board
again discharged him on accOunt of the
chiability he received in France. The pen
sion board examined him a few weeks
later and stopped his pension altogether,
stating he does not have a pensionable
disability.
A mother whose s( n enlisted in the
C E F. received separation allowance
and assigned pay. on account cf his be-
ing her main support. The sriii was
killed in action. His mother received
a pension for two months. Last month
this was cut off altogether on -the false
grounds _that she wa keceiving_ another
Sir, these cases are but typic,a1 of
many, which call kir searching enquiry
into the aeorkines of your scheme
pensions. The reduction in itself woul 1
appear to be urjust. But when One
takes into consideration the manifest
unrest in industrial circles which will
•mean lack of employment for some, the
homecoming of thousands of our soldiers
still overseas who will look for employ-
ment, when one considers the spirit of
Bolslievikism working in our niidst as
per the anonymous pamphlets circulated
id' Toronto and other large centres of
industry as weH as she patent restless-
ness that is common to every returned
soldier it does Ireem most unwise at a
eriticalvtIme like this through which we
are passing to add to this unrest by the
reduction' in part or altogether of the
pension af arded to the returned aoldisr
by your government.
We believe this is by no means a sane
and safe policy for any government to
follow, and if waisted in will not make
for tbe wise solution of the returned
soldier problem _nor for the best inter
eats of our country.
The,. Dominion of Canada is wealthy
enough teday and will be wealthy en•
ough in the future to provide just and
adtquate pensions for the men who
metir them and who desire justice before
charity for their dependents as for them-
selves.
‘Ve trust, Sir, you will give this mat
ter the serious consideration it deserves.
Is- any honor or emolinnent too great
for a -brotherhood whorre supreme im
pulse has been duty? Is any compensa-
tion too high for sacrifices so 'kvillingly
maIcit
tvi!-ill surely be most illadvised and
ueiost to provide large SUMS Of money

memorials, and neglect .to provide for
the legitimate' claims of 'those for whom
these memorial( are intended. This is

The finest. nilltinnlellt Citniala r,an-pro

ial of stcne or marble or iron Can ever
anrosnre up to this.
It is the desire of-ihe hearts of the
soldiers then selves, AP it was the desire
of those who, (deep where "poppies blow

mte elcsprent than words in ,their ap
