FIRE insurance companies are constant
ly increasing their rates in South Da-
kota, through the medium of iron-clsld
combinations managed by regular bu-
reaus. the record Of the last fiscal year
shows that companies operating in this
state paid materially less in fire losses
during the past year and took out a
greatly increased amount in sums paid
as premiums by policy holders. Insur-
ance companies have had prominent
part in formulating the insurance laws
Of this and other states during the past
few years. .
Fire losses paid in the state last year
totaIled $1,21S. 640.70, decrease Of ex-
actly $42,855.S9 from the previous year.
Premium increases for the year were
IS ,0S7.29. which with the decreased
losses makes an additional net profit
to the companies, over profits of the
previous year of $99.9431S.
The premiums. paid by state resi-
dents for all classes OF insurance. to-
tailed $6.206. 594.75. and the companies
paid losses on all classes OF insurance
OF $2.571. 754.61. showing a profit to the
companies of nearly $4000,000, or close
to 200 per cent on the amount invest
ed. with the profit paid in advance and

urday and prepared a rough draft OF
the bill which the bankers expect to
support before the legislature. but de-
tails or their bill were not given out.

Servia Seeks Delay While Mobi-

ment Declares.
ACTUAL POSSIBILITIES NEAR

Vienna, July pa communication
issued by the Austro- Hungarian for
eign office today sets forth the Aus
TRAN view of the Servian reply to AUS
tria's note demanding the cessation OF
the pan Servian agitation and the
punishment of those concerned in the
assassination at Saratoga OF Archduke
Francis Ferdinand and his consort.
The communication gives the reasons
for Austria's dissatisfaction with
Servia's reply. IL follows:
"The object OF the Servian note is
to create the false impression that the
Seryian government is prepared In
great measure to comply with our de-
mands.
"As a matter of fact, however, Ser
Was note Is filed with the spirit of
dishonesty. which clearly lets II be
seen that the Servian government is
not seriously determined to put an end
to the culpable utterance 1t hitherto
has extended to intrigues against the
Austro- Hungarian monarchy.
THE Servian note contains such far
reaching reservations and limitations
not only regarding the general prin-
ciples OF our action, but also in regard
TO the individual claims we have put
forward, that the concessions actually
made by Servia became insignificant.
I'm particular, our demand for the
participation OF the Austro- Hungarian
authorities in Investigations TO detect
accomplices in the conspiracy on Ser
Wan territory has been rejected while
our requests that measures be taken
against that section of the Servian
press hostile to Austria-I 1lgary has
been declined and our wish that the
Servian government take the necessary
measures to prevent the dissolved Aus
trophobe associations continuing their
activity under another name and UNI
der another form, has not even been
considered .
''Since the claims in the Austro- Hun
garian note OF July %. regard being
had TO the attitude hitherto adopted by
Servia, represent the minimum of what
Is necessary for the establishment OF
permanent peace with the southeastern
monarchy, the Servian answer must
be regarded as unsatisfactory
THAT the Servian government itself
Is conscious that it's note is not ac-
ceptable 10 us, is proved by the cir
cumstance that IL proposes at the end
OF the note to submit the dispute to
arbitration--an investigation which is
thrown into its proper light by the fact
that three hours before handing in the
note, a few minutes before the expira-
ton of the time limit. the mobilization
of the Servians took place"

manding large royalty, which he was
unable to pay. Lee was here looking

Secretary Daniels Announces
New Policy in Dealing
... With Navy Men.

Washington, July 2S--Abolition Of
imprisonment for deserrIon from the
navy in times of peace was ordered by
Secretary Daniels. Under the new reg
ulations blueiackets who overstay their
leave or commit similar breaches of
discipline will be summary dismissed
instead of being sent to prison, while
men who become dissatisfied with the
service and want to quit may have an
honorable discharge by merely refund
ing certain enlistment allowances,
This radical departure from tradi-
tional naval methods has been under
consideration by the secretary ever
since he came into office. He an
nounced that the navy now had prac-
tlcally a fun quota-51, 34S enlisted men
compared with a shortage of more
than 1000 is months ago, and that the
time 70 take the step had come
secretary Daniels, in a statement an
nounclng the new order, said:
enlistment in the navy has always
peen for some definite period, at pres
ent four years, and IL has always been
difficult and at time impossible for men
TO terminate their contract of enlist
ment by honorable discharge before the
enlistment expired. II man remained
absent from his ship of duty after hav-
Ing been granted leave this made him
a Ieserfer and on conviction involved O
prison sentence.
AFTER very careful and thorough
consideration and after a referendum
in which the opinions of many of the
highest officers in the navy were OBJ
tanned the secretary became convinced
that this general situation was unten-
aole and not in keeping with modern
business ideas The new order is in
accordance with the opinions expressed
by majority of the officers of the
navy whose views We're invited and
whose long experience enabled them to
speak with authority.
