SOLDIERS PAROLE.
Is Understood ms n Purely Voluntary
Contract DuripR Active
Service.

Parole, IL must be understood, Is
a purely voluntary compact. The cap
tor is not obliged to offer to parole
his prisoner-the prisoner is not
obliged, and cannot be compelled, to
give his parole.
If he does so, he will probably be
released on pledging his word not to
serve during the existing war If he
refuses he will remain captive until
the war is over or until he can make
his escape.
The usual parole pledge extends
only to active service against the en-
envy. A prisoner released on parole
is not breaking his contract if he
drills recruits, quells civil commo-
tions or fights other enemies.
A soldier taken prisoner has no au.
thority to pledge himself never TO
serve against particular enemy. He
cannot throw off thus lightly the duty
he owes his sovereign or country, and
il he make any pledge 1t must be con-
fined to limited time.
Moreover, II prisoner should make
a pledge not approved by his own gov
eminent, he Is bound to return and
surrender himself to the enemy
In the British army a soldier can
only give his parole through n COM
miss{oned officer. Even noncommis-
stoned officer or an officer of inferior
rank cannot give parole for himself
or for his men without permission
from his commanding officer.
The United States authorities, by
the way, give greater liberty to parole
than is the case with the British army.
A captured prisoner who has VIC
lated his parole may be punished with
denth.

INSURANCE RATES REDUCED
Quarter of Million Dollars Saved to the
Citizens Of Kansas In
1899

The following official facts and fig
ures will be of interest to the people
of Kansas. They show that under the
present management of the State In.
surance Department our citizens
have made an actual saving i'm the
cost of insurance amounting to SPAS.
S63.o6.
Under McNalrs system of fake eN.
aminatious insurance companies
were bled to the extent of many
thousands of dollars, but not one
cent of this money went into the
vaults of the state treasury, nor into
the pockets of Kansas citizens,
except the pockets of the fake eX-
aminers and those who were party
to the scheme by which the money
was eXtorted.
When w. V. Church succeeded Nc
Nall, the companies We're assured
that they would not be blcd for the
benefit of a few favorite individuals,
but that they would be expected to
make radical reduction of insur-
ance rates. After some corresponds
ence the concessions were made, and
official figures on file in the insurance
department show the following re-
suits:
Total fire insurance business done
in Kansas for the years 1898 and
1892 was as follows:
1s0S-Risks written, S147,jO2, 140;
premiums paid, $1,76S,0Oo; average
rate, 1899.
1S0O-Risks written, S1s2,0s7 600;
premiums paid, $l,o40,OS2; average
rate, 1.063, Decrease in rate for
1899, 1876.
Applying this decrease in rate to
the total amount of business written
last year, there is shown an actual
saving of S24S,S63.26. In other words,
had the rates remained the same as
they were at the time of Church s
appointment, the same amount of
insurance would have cost in round
numbers, n quarter of million dol
lars more than it actually did cost
under the new administration of the
insurance department. This was the
saving of a single year
This is not the whole story. 1t
should be remembered that at the
time these reduced rates went into
effect, there were in force a large
number of three-year and five-year
policies which have not yet expired,
and which are running at the old
rates. When these policies expire
they may be renewed at the reduced
rates and there will then be a year
ly saving to our citizens of a much
larger sum, which may be safely es-
timated at $400,000.00.
