He was drawing money from two 'goy-

Not until recently was this discrep

mediately taken to recover the amount
overpaid Kissinger which was' sum-
med up t0 total ?1.699.60.
Kissinger however wat. found un-
able to refund the amount due the
Government so a plan was mapped
but whereby $50 a month would be
deducted from his $1200 annuity paid
him by the War Department.
; This plan though did not appeal to-
prominent persons who interested
themselves in Kissinger's . case and
immediately a loud protest was raised
because Qf the. veteran's total disa-
bility and because he was unable to
support himself and. his wife upon the
small sum he would receive.

Attention was directed to the fact
that the $100 monthly pension Was
granted Kissinger by. an act ot Con-
gress in which he waa cited for "spe-
cial recognition of the eminent ser
vices' rendered suffering endured and
permanent disabilities contracted by
him In the interest of humanity and
science as a volunteer subject for ex-
periment in the yellow fever hospital
in Cuba." -
une intervention of Kissinger's
friends in his behalf had Us desired

hi3 plight and through a deficiency
appropriation bill authorization was
given tho War Department to con-
tinue the full pay' of $100 a month to
Kissinger without any deduction or
return of sums paid contrary to law.
Which all in all puts Kissinger in
the light ot having although unknow-
ingly put one over on tho Government
a feat seldom accomplished.
