The number shows no sign of falling off and is likely to increase ratherthan diminish. Theyarecom- ing from every section of the United States. Many of these old veterans write direct to the Pension Bureau; others are communicating with Senators and Representatives. Newspaper of- fices are being bombarded with re- questa for information as to how a veteran must proceed to obtain the maximum pension under the order.

One of the daughw rs was alive but considerably hurt. ‘Two of the grandchildren could not be found about the pre- mises, A search for the children was kept up along the course of the storm, and during the night one was found about @ qdarter of a mile from the 5, a by insurance.
