SAYS BORDER MANEUVERS
WERE of GREAT VALUE

WASHINGTON. Aug. 22,-The pa
troll OF the southern border during the
Mexican revolution afforded valuable
practical instructions to the American
army, according TO the annual report of
Brigadier General Joseph w. Duncan.
commanding the department Of Texas.
This duty. he says. developed many or
dinary soldiers into strong. self reliant
men capable of caring for themselves
and animals under extraordinary con
ditiuns of hardship.
General Duncan comments upon the
constant changing of company and post
officers as being detrimental TO the con
tent, discipline and instruction of the
soldiers
because of these frequent
changes, - he adds. .'the individual sol
der is not made TO feel the person,

INSURANCE CHIEF
CHARGES GRAF TING
President of Commissioners
Says Many Concerns Are
Guilty Of Crookedness.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 22,-Seyeral in
dustrial, health and accident insurance
companies were severely criticised by
PRESIDENT Joseph Button of Virginia, in
his annual address today before the
forty-second national convention of
state insurance commissioners.
President Button said that investiga-
tlon by committee of fourteen or
flfteen companies doing a health and
accident business resulted in disclosures
that were shocking in the extYeme.
=" Instead of basing the adjustment of
c!aims on equitable principles, said
Mr.. Button, "some of the companies
examined resorted to every form of de-
cert, and even forgery and theft, in
order to escape their honest obliga-
tions. This was all the more outrageous
In view OF the fact that these frauds
were perpetrated on the poorer classes,
who in the very nature Of things should
be given every possible protection.
AS the committee which made the
investigation has its report nearly
ready, shall not anticipate the rem
tions there disclosed, except to say
that it is incumbent on US to root out
this evil without mercy
President Button pointed to the sue
cess of the uniform bill for the regu-
lation of fraternal companies, common
ly known as the Mobile bill, which he
stated had been adopted by thirteen
states.
He also spoke in advocacy of civil
service III connection with insurance bu-
reaus.
