HAVE STARTED
 WAR INSURANCE Government Will Pay for Losses ln- cured By Reason of Capture
 or Accident.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3-President Wilson yesterday signed the bill es- tablishing a government marine in- surance bureau. The purpose of the bill is to secure the re-establishment of the shipping to Europe because of the fact that many shipowners re- fuse to take the chance of being cap- tured by the nations at war or sunk by floating mines and against this loss the government will guarantee them at all cost The rates of the marine underwriters have been so high that the shipowners who have operated have been demanding a re- duction in the rates. .
 The administration is determined to reopen the shipping business be- tween this country and Europe so that the grain and other foodstuffs may be sent across the ocean for gold, which will be needed in Amer ica to care for the American securi- ties now being unloaded upon our stock markets by foreign owners and who are disposing of American stocks at a sacrifice.
 The Bureau of Marine Insurance has been organized in the Treasury department and the first risks were written today.
