The old scheme of fighting a war first and caring for soldiers and their families tinder antlauated pension systems afterwards to go into the discard, and work Jready has progressed far enough to announce that the government Is determined to have a good system for Insuring and Indemnifying its fighting men. As a result of more than a month's cident of Damocles dining under the suspended sword at the feast of Dlonyaius.
