6. 1 L NOTICE. 



We take this opportunity of informing our 

 subscribers that the new Commissioner of Pen 

 sions has been appointed. He is an old soldier, 

 and we believe that soldiers and their heirs will 

 receive justice at his hands. We do not antici- 

 pate that there will be any radical changes in 

 the administration of pension affairs under the 

 new regime. 



We would advise, however, that U. S. soldiers, 

 sailors, and their heirs, take steps to make ap 

 plication at once, if they have not already done 

 so, in order to secure the benefit of the early fil- 

 ing of their claims in case there should be any 

 future pension legislation. Such legislation is 

 seldom retroactive. Therefore it is of great im- 

 portance that applications be filed in the De 

 partment at the earliest possible date. 



If U. S. Soldiers, Sailors, or their Widows, 

 Children, or Parents desire information in re 

 gard to pension matters, they should write tc 

 The Press Claims Company, at Washington, D. 

 C, and they will prepare and send the necessary* 

 application, if they find them entitled under 

 the numerous laws enacted for theit benefit
