A letter In the London Spectator fur
nishes some very interesting information
concerning the results OF state-aided in
surance in Germany IT appears that
about one German in five is Insured for
sickness. one in three for accident and one
in four for infirmity or old age. Every
year nearly $l25, 100000 is paid TO sick, in
jured, infirm or old persons. or this amount
$50, 600 is found by employers S5l. $50, 900
by insured persons and So, 900 by the
state. Every insured working woman who
is confined receives an allowance for six
weeks The system OF insurance for in
hrmity has had very remarkable results.
It Is, of course, much better for a person
disabled by some cause other than old
age, as we'll as for the community, that
he or she should be enabled to resume
work. and as the law permits the insur-
ance associations either to treat inhrm per-
sons In sanatoria. or to give them PEN
sions. a large number OF sanatoria have
been erected all over the land. A very
large proportion of sufferers who apply for
allowances have tuberculosis. Among men
from 20 to "a who are incapacitated, about
IS per cent suffer from 1t. No less than
seventy-four open-air sanatoria have been
built for the treatment Of these patients
On an average each victim remains under
treatment about three months In 1909

ings and to hard work. Yet at the end Of
four years after treatment 81 per cent Of

Casa Blanca, Sept. The allied
Franco-Spanish army has made a sud

where the Moors were massed in
force. The camp Of the latter was
destroyed by bombaedL~nt and the
enemy was put to fight, leaving many
dead on the field. The French lost
one man killed and six men wounded.
The attack was carefully planned
and was based largely on the obser-
vations Of the Moors' position from
the military balloon. The allied army,
which was divided into two columns,
left the camp at 6 o'clock in the morn
Jag, leaving several companies Of in
fantry to defend the base at Casa
Blanca. The march was skilfully
carried out under the cover Of fog
until half way to Taddert, when the
hog lifted and disclosed several large
bands Of the enemy. The allies then
charged at the point of the bayonet
and although the Moors resisted with
their old time courage they were
A1ally compelled to retreat in the
face of superior force and both of
the, columns Of allied troops advanced
