It never was reported or recommended by the Committee on Pensions. and the effect of its enforcement has been most distressing in many cases. In my own State. and along the entire northern frontier. many soldiers have gone into Manitoba and other parts of Canada. I have one case in my mind now. concerning which I have recently been conducting a correspondence. An Englishman by the name of Watkins. then living in St. Paul. not naturalized. enlisted in a Minnesota regiment. went to the front. and lost his life. His widow lived in St. Paul for some years. and finally was compelled to go back to her relatives in England.
