VETERANS TOLD FIGHT JUST BEGUN Representative Fish Thinks Spanish War Sums Will Be Restored. Representative Hamilton Fish of New ‘York told the annual convention of the District Department, United Spanish War Veterans, last night that he felt reasonably sure compensation taken from former service men will be re- stored at the next session of Congress. ‘The fight against the slashes in vet- erans’ pensions has just begun, he de- clared, adding that he believes the peo- ple of the United States, when they are fully apprised of the true situation, will rally in support of the veterans’ cause. Although the compensation of vet- erans was cut in the name of economy and to balance the budget, Mr Fish said, the budget is no nearer balanced now than before, due to insufficient ef- forts to collect war debts and expendi- ture of funds for such projects as the reforestation camps. Commander Elected. Charles A. Strobel was elected de- partment commander to succeed P. J. Callan. Other officers chosen included Tom D. Buckley, senior vice com- mander; George V. McAlear, junior vice commander; Rev. William M. La- Roche, department chaplain; James B. Freeland, inspector; Dr. Albert W. Evans, surgeon; James E. Wilson, mar- shal. and James A. Burns, judge advo- cate. The following delegates to the na- | tional convention of the organization in Los Angeles August 21 to 25 were elected: John Long, Samuel Silvermin, John Ford and William Barnes.

Sheppard, representing the Grand Army of the Republic, spoke in condemnation of the cuts in vet- erans’ com jon. ‘The convention adopted resolutions urging that widows, orphans and de- dents of the men who lost ves in the Maine disaster, which pre- cipitated the Spanish-American War, receive pensions, just as if war already had been declared when the battleship was sunk; recommending the admission to membership in the United Spanish ‘War_ Veterans of those who served in the Moro campaigns in the Philippines; | and commending Mr. Callan for his; services as department commander during the past year.
