b' we call the attention OF those mem bers Of the
Arkansas Volunteers who served on this frontier dp
ing last winter and fall to the following letter from
J. L. EDWARDS, Commissioner of the Pension Ofsce
to Col. GRAY. BY it, will be seen that those ubo
served on this frontier, excluded from the
o! .he act OF February llth, le7-alIowing Scrip to
Volunteers, &c.


4h'S is case for special act OF Congress, when
'he act Of Feb. IL, 1917, passed, there was o
calculation that Volunteers would be required to serve
in any quarter except in Mexico and consequently no
provision was made for them. The reason for the
passage Of that act existed in regard TO the
'oun'eera, as much as it did with the Volunteers in
Mexico The demand for troops, the Undue EN- ent to
men to abandon their pursuits at home and serve in
our armies-we-e the same. Therefore we saw tha ,
1t would be but an act Of justice in Congress pass
Special act for the benefit of this Battalion.


Congress should be memorialzed and our delegation
should be called upon to make the proper exertons
and we fully believe that law will be passed
like Justice 10 all.
