Indication of the absence of that utmojphuri

Iwo causes nro assigned for this undesir

years , whlcC , it , is claimed , lias drained tin

second , the over-recurring question of ox

tor some tlmo past that the estimates tor ih

was based on the fact or the lanrj issue c

to u punslonablo status a very largo numbc
of soldiers who were not pensionable undi
