Wars and Financial Crises.

Engineering Magazine: The eco
nomic disadvantages of war are, in the
long run, unmistakable even to the
dullest of observers; but temporarily
and locally these evils may be so
masked by momentary trade activity
as to be estimated too lightly. The
economic losses are due to the de-
struction of life and property, to the
removal of a large number of men
from productive labor, and to the gen
eral disorganization of trade and fin
ance. Nothing can make up for these
losses; but they are often temporarily
masked by immediate small gains. In
nations like England and the United
States, which are always ~unprepared
for war, its outbreak causes a feverish
ACTIVITY in many trades. 1t is neces-
sary to accumulate suddenly supplies
of all sorts, and this process normally
causes trade activity and rising prices.
During such a period of forced activity
the demand for commodities is abnor-
MAJ both in it's amount and in its di-
'rection. Further than that, it is a de-
mand for tonnage, rather than for
quality, and for immediate delivery,
rather than for economic manufacture.
So that at the end of a national strug-
gle we normally find all the great in
dustries in an unsound condition, and
technically less efficient than at the
outbreak of the war;
In the popular opinion. a war is a
time of active trade, while a financial
crisis induces a period of. depression.
1t may therefore seem unorthodox to
suggest that a war is economically an
utterly bad thing, while a financial
crisis is not entirely evil. A period of
trade depression, however painful 1T
may be at the moment, is a period in
which industries are being conducted
economically and efficiently Al fnan-
cial crisis is the normal and natural

Impressions Regarding Russians.


Impressions Regarding Russians.
Washington Post: j.. II. Snodgrass,
United states consul general at Mos
cow, who is at the New Willard, con
tradicted several impressions popular
in this country concerning Russia. He
said:
"The American is treated with the
utmost consideration in Russia. /. have
heard it said that travelling in Russia
is difficult. Quite the contrary is true.
One can travel in Russia with greater
comfort and with less difficulty, /
should say. thanh the United States.
One must, of course, have his pass
ports correctly made out and approx
ed. bat the American is never ques-
toned. once he has entered the cars
domains. Railroad travel, as / view it,
is much more comfortable than in this
country. The railroads are all equip
ped with compartment cars, and the
furnishings are luxurious. Food on
railroad trains is less expensive than
in this country. The service is a la
carte, and it is possible to get a meal
for rs cents that would cost $1.50 or 81
in this country.
Before I went to Russia / had the
same sort of sympathy for the Russian
bread, that most other persons have,
but since / have learned to eat black
bread I have changed my mind. The
fact is black bread is the most whole
some food can eat. Ny doctor
prescribed it for me, and / found it
not only better food but much more
digestible than the bread we eat here.
The black bread of Russia lis d whole
wheat bread with some rye in it The
peasants, who by virtue of their cir
cumstances have to eat black bread,
can easily make a meal Of it, with a
little tea to wash it down. The poor
er classes of Russia are necessarily
y~egetarians, because meats are, too
high for them to buy. They live on
bread, tea, potatoes, cabbage, turnips
and other vegetables. Potatoes cost
them rs cents a bushel and cabbages
2R cents for very large heads.
You may understand that the great
mass of the population of Russia is Of
h peasant class. and so per cent OF
the people are i~lliterate. The condi-
tons are such that the government
must be firm. The middle class is or
dinarily improvident. Clerks who draw
500 a month, for instance, will spend
their entire salary in a night BUYING
wine and oysters and other expensive
things, because they feel that their sl-
periors do 1t. oysters are worth 2o

MONTENEGRINS
BATHED In GLORY

JOBS at a moments notice, paying their
own passage from PARKWAY America,
tramping the mountainous miles from
Cattaro and Antivari to Cettinje, all

Policies That Are Full
Of Perils to the Insuring Public

Observation-Disclosures NEF3Nt&lGh M
Herman IL Ekern, insurance ON
missioner Of the state Of Wisconsin,
says:
wisconsin offers to those within its
borders life insurance at the actual
cost for the death claims. There are
of course, nj profits to stockholders,
and there is no expense Of solicitations.
The expense for clerical help and adj
ministration is so small ais to be all
most negligible
Under the wisconsin plan the state
surne no responsibility for the pay
ment Of policies, but merely agrees to
act as manager of the insurance funds.
II at any time the insured desires to
Withdraw, every dollar paid by him is
returned. To safeguard against mad
vertert su~rrenders, however, the in
sured must give six months notice be-
fore surrendering his policy.
9 and most important feature
of the Wisconsin state policy is that
providing for the granting Of n
tiles in sums of 500, 5000 and $500.
These annuities are in extensive use in
Europe and 1T is believed that with the
rapid change from a n agricultural to
an Industrial population the demand
for annuities will greatly increase.
Can Companies Raise Rates7
Nearly all the mutual beneit and as
sessment life insurance companies orr
ganized more than twenty years ago
were established on an unsound 1nan-
.cial basis, writes Lewis A. Stebbins of
the Chicago bar, discussing whether
such companies can reduce the rights
of members by a~fter-enacted bylaws.
In conclusion MI. Stebbins says
1T is generally held, in the follow
ing states, that subsequently enacted
bylaws are binding upon existing mem
bers, though such amendments reduce
the financial value of the certificate:
Alabama, California, Colorado. Con-
necticut, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, KAN
sas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachu-
sets. Michigan. Mississippi. Nebraska,
New Hampshire. Ohio, Pennsylvania.
Tennessee. Vermont, Virginia, Wiscon-
sin and the federal courts.
In the following states it is gem
orally held that such laws are not
binding upon existing members where
they decrease the financial value of
the certificate: Indiana, Minnesota,
Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ore
gon and Texas
In the following states the question
has not been directly passed upon:
Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida,
Idaho, Kentucky. Maine, Montana, Me-
vada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ok
lahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina.

Case and Comment Appointed BY.
Governor Sulzer OF New York as spe-
'cial commissioner to recommend revi-
sion of the Standard fire insurance
policies used in that state. William b.
Ellison tells why he believes the pres
ent form OF policy is filed with perils
to the innocent insurance public and
why rights of the insured are left
largely to the charity of the com
5panies.
Under the particular revisions which
the author desires to have changed is
one which makes it mandatory for the
insured to render a. statement of proof
of loss within sixty days. The author
points out that the companyss adjust
err is often Immediately on the scene of
fire and u such information and
er is protecting his interests in the
matter, often omits to serve the state
ment of loss on the company and that
then his claim is beyond recovery.
The author also emphasizes the fact
that the STANDARD fire insurance policy
is void If the interest of h insured
in the property is other than uneondi-
tionaIo or sole ownership. or if a build
ing is on ground not owned by the in
sured in fee simple, or in the case of
personal property if it is encountered
by a chattel mortgage. The insurance
writer, Mr.. Ellison says, rarely inter
rogates the purchaser of a policy ais to
his ownership in the property insured
and hence sells something which in
case of fire might prove worthless.
Another provision which the author
takes exception to is that in case of
disagreement as to the amounteof loss
the. insurer may force the insured into
an appraisal thereof, which the author
says takes away the right of lighting
the matter out in court.
Those Higher Up Didn't Know.
Thomas Gold Frost, of the New
York bar, tells an amusing incident of
how in his youth after the burning of
much midnight oil in an attempt to
grasp the meaning of the statutory
declaration clause in a guaranty in
surance policy he vas unable to n
derstand it. and that upon taking 1T to
the home Office of the company the
general counsel admitted he did not
know what it meant, and that finally
on being referred to another member
of the bar, who was said to have writ
ten the clause, this person admitted
that he also did not know what it
meant, but that he had copied it from
a policy issued by an English surety
company. Thus the author says he
had a suspicion that there were some
things about Guaranty insurance
which were not known even to those
higher up.
