COMP sorry INSURANCE
Bill Only Requires the Assent of the
King.

London, Dec 16.-The house Of lords
has passed the national insurance bill,
providing for compulsory insurance
against sickness and unemployment of
the working classes, through its third
and final reading.
The bill is now practically completed,
only requiring to pass through the for
mality Of receiving the kings assent.
The national insurance bill for work
ers which was finally adopted by the
house of lords. was presented to parIia-
ment for action by David Lloyd-George,
chancellor of the exchequer. Tt is an
adjunct to the already existing law
providing old age pensions. Through
the operation of this enactment it is
calculated there will be about 100000
men and 100000 women who will be
compelled to insure. Small deductions
will be made weekly from their wages
and their employers viii be compelled
to contribute similar amount, to
which the state adds a further contri-
button, these three items forming the
premiums. The deductions from wages
and the employers contribution will be
graduated according to the insured per-
sons earnings.

ECKERT WILL UPHELD.
The Contestant VIII Appeal to High
er Court.

New York, Dec. 16.-The will of the
late General Thomas T. Eckert for
merly president of the Western Union
Telegraph company, which was con-
tested by his son, James Glendening
Eckert, has been sustained by Surro-
gate Cohalan. The bulk of the estate
which was valued at $3,OO0.OO0, was
left to another son, Thomas It. Eckert,
jr., and James G., who was left only
$4,000, contested on the ground that
his brother unduly influenced his ia
Their, who, he asserted, was of unsound
mind by reason of age and physical
disab ility.
The claim of Marie L. Davis or Dare,
who went to the trial near the close
and announced that she was the
widow of the general, is set aside on
the ground that her claim arose solely
from the "hallucination of a disor-
dered mind
The decision will be appealed by the
contestant, it was announced. If not
sustained, he will lose his bequest of
$50, 09G, as the clause provides that if
he contested his share should revert to

maybe much sooner. England and
Germany win be at war and all Europe
will be shaken by the conflict. Yes,
and America, too. for America could
not help feeling keenly the existence
of so great a conflict as that will as
suredly be. Why DO I think this? Be
cause the whole German nation is
seeking a war with US at every turn
of the road and when a whole nation
is behind a thing like this there is no
stopping it. The bankers stopped war
