British scheme.
What are the benefits?
The member Of parliament from
Northampton, H. B. Lees Smith, ana
. the managing director of a great
Wholesale establishment OF London.
Wilkie Calvert brother of DR.. Sidney
Calvert, professor OF chemistry at the
University of Missouri), summarized
these benefits:
Sickness and Other Benefits.
The workman pays eight cents
week or less. His benefits are the
same whatever he pays. These bene-
fits include free medical attendance
and free medicine. sickness benefit,
disablement or invalidity pension, ma
ternity benefit, sanitarium benent.
Free medical attendance and free
medicine are provided to the worker
who becomes III. This provision has
been -rply attacked by the British
doctors. The sickness benefit varies
in amount. Ordinarily it is $3.50 q
week for men and $1.75 week for
women for 26 weeks. Sickness bene
fits cease at seventy years OF age
when the old age pension becomes
payable. II sickness continues long
er than 26 weeks, SLIPS week Is paid
during the remainder OF the sickness
however long it may be. Provision is
made for certain reduction in oenenIs
when members are in arrears with
their contributions, but no one is sus-
pended from medical. sanitarium and
maternity benefits until more than 70
weeks in arrears. Insured women,
married or unmarried, and the wives
of insured men, whether insured or
not, receive a maternity benefit OF
$3.50 in addition to sickness benefit.

THE GREATEST OF
ALL WARS IS ON

Diplomacy has failed, despite our
prediction to the contrary and a
war in Europe, the like of which
in magnitude was never seen before,
is about to devastate that unhappy
land. The world has grown so small
under modern conditions, steam and
electricity bringing all the nations
so near together, that Europe is
right at our doors, and while we of
America have no part in the conflict
We cannot entirely escape its effects
With European markets largely
closed to our products and the con-
sequent falling off in our manufac-
lures and agriculture, we cannot eX-
pect to thrive while our neighbors
cut each others throats The ma
tions no longer live each to itself,
and what vitality Injuries one hurts
all the others only in less degree
1t is as useless to moralize about
this awful war as to speculate about
its final results. Germany, France,
Russia and Austria have been pre-
pairing for it for forty years past,
else why those stupendous standing
armies in highly civilized Christian
nations and rigorous military laws
that make every aOle-bodied man
soldier trained and ready for the SUI
preme emergency when it comes?
The trouble between Austria and
Servia was but the spark that fired
the train, the preteXt for the con-
tlict, and while it seems to us on this
side that true wisdom and patriotism
on the part of the Austrian emperor
might have avoided the dire result,
there are many factors in the prob
lem which we don't understand 1t is
more rational to suppose that the
two kaisers leading the great Teu-
tonic race have not plunged their
nations and all Europe into the hor-
rors of war without strong reasons
which to them seemed irresistible.
The nations not engaged can only
look on and shudder and grieve
while Europe roasts in the flames of
conflict, help where they can to les
sen the suffering and pray God that
the end may come quickly and the
right prevail.
