one exception the bravest thing ever
done by a British soldier was the act
OF a drummer boy.
That drummer boy, If living, is now
a man se%venty-two years old, and for

MARINE INSURANCE
MEASURE PASSED
War Risk Bill Awaiting sena-
torial Concurrence and Pres
idential Signature.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 1.-The adj
ministration bill to create a federal
bureau of var risk marine insurance,
with a SIS, 1000, 900 fund, to meet possible
losses to American shipping was
passed in the House by a vote Of $50
to So. 1t has already passed the Sem
ate.
The House made two amendments to
the measure as 1t passed the Senate.
One limits the operation Of the gov
eminent raj risk insurance bureau
to two years, the president having pow
err to suspend it at any time within that
period. The other reduced the salary
Of h chief OF the bureau from $4,000
a year to $4,000.
The Senate is expected to concur in
these amendments and the bill prob
ably will be read for the presidents
signature when he returns to Washing
ton next week from Cornish, N. H.
The bill establishes for the first time
In American history a federal marine
insurance, though 1t is restricted to
risks Of war and is especially APP
plicable to the European emergency. 1t
tnsures American vessels, their freight
whenever it shall appear to the secre-
tary of the treasury that American
vessels, shippers or importers in Amer
lean vessels are unable in any trade to
se-dre adequate war risk insurance on
reasonable terms"
1t is intended as supplementary to
war risk insurance furnished by pri-
waite concerns, who claim they have
not enough capital to give complete
| war risk insurance. The president is
authorized to end federal insurance
and abolish the bureau whenever he
finds the necessity has ceased.
Representative Mann, minority
! leader took aynantinn 1nrincr tIa do
bate to the charge made by Repre-
sentative Underwood that the republi-
cans were "un-American" in their op-
position to the bill. He declared the
majority leader had resorted to mon
sense and Stiffness in making the
statement. Mr.. Underwood reiterated
the statement, asserting that Repre-
sentative Mann's argument against the
bill was mere claptrap."
The republicans offered numerous
amendments, which the democrats
voted down.

cuIated Paris could be invested ana

In all calculations as to- Gerrnany's
capacity to carry on q campaign
against France and Russia at the same
time, however, it must be borne in
mind that her facilities to transfer
troops from one frontier to the other
are superb and that the number Of men
which she can In a life and death
struggle put under arms is probably
greater than the usually accepted fig
ures. To put this number at 100000
Is not stretching it, when n CON

Allies Cheerful.
The military situation today contin-
ues to show German making progress
against the allies in the west. The
allies have. however, inflicted some
bloody repulses and have made some
success. as alleged, in an offensive
movement in the vosges mountains.
Germans through Belgium is crowding
back to some extent the left OF the
allies. On the whole, the strategy of
the situation seems to be such that the
allies can afford to be cheerful.
The retirements of h allies to new

frontier and closer to Paris, also mean
the allies have shorter lines to defend
and that the German lines must be
heightened. Hence, so long as such
retirements are not routs and do not
adversely affect the morale OF troops,
they are SO far from being decisive
in favor of the Germans tina they may
actually make the effort Of the Ger
mans to crush the allied lines the more
difficult.
Germans Select Fields.
The advantage of shorter interior
lines Of communication has been many
times illustrated in war, as when Lee,
In 1864, by reason Of such lines, though
with inferior forces, was enabled to
hold Jack and inflict bloody punish
ment on Grant at the Wilderness,
Spotslyyania. the North Anna and Cold
Harbor, always moving his forces in
time to anticipate Grants thanking
movements. It may be illustrated
forcefully again In a campaign where
time to the Germans Is all important.
On h other hand, by assuming the
offensive, with their tremendous war
enginery, the Germans have the adj
vantage of being able to strike at the
enemy's weak spots and select the field
of operations. Heavy additions to the
British forces on the continent within
the next few days are looked for. The
Italian mobilization probably means q
