NEW YORK 300 YEARS AGO
From Forest Land 1t Has Grown to City of Six Million h.
 habitants.

AS years come and go in the twirl- was but as yesterday when Adrian Blocks rude log huts were the first inhabitations of white men on Man haitian island, says the New York Mail. A bronze plate on the building at 45 Broadway is the token of that occupation.
 A city of nearly six million peo- pie, with real estate values footing up to nearly s10,O00,000 900, has been wrought In the three intervening cen turies.
 Yet as We look back in the days of his tercentenary we are stirred not only by the records of growth, but by the present opportunities and responsibilities incident to the twenti- eth century status of the city that was born in the seventeenth.
 The winter refuge of the crew of the Tiger has become the world cen ter. Captain Block hewed timbers from the virgin forest and built new ship. which he called the Restless. The swath that he cut was the begin ming of Broadway. The name that he gave his schooner has character ized the city

War and Life Insurance.

"I inquired of a man high up in the affairs of big life insurance com pany whether the killing of so many soldiers will bring heavy losses upon American life insurance companies. Far smaller than you might think, was his answer. 1t Is true one New York company has $400,O00,000 of in surance in the countries which are at war. but the number of soldiers killed will be but a small proportion of all the people who carry insurance.
