A Saving of $6,64s Will Be Made on
State Buildings as Result of
Reduction

notwithstanding with Insur-
ance Commissioner Cleary, Superinten-
dent NJ. F. Blumenfeld of the depart
ment of public property has secured a
reduction of insurance rates on state
buildings and contents that has result
ed in saving of S6,64S.SS, or nearly
one-third, Notwithstanding the fact
that the valuation is materially in
creased. The total amount of premium
for the present year is $1O,1S792, as
compared with $16,S36,SO for the past
year.
The state capitol is insured for
s4,455. 900, as against $4,O5O,OOO for the
past year.
When the late legislature, through
its finance committee, sought to con-
vince Mr.. Blumenfeld that he was in
error when he said that he could get
along with less appropriation for
the department than that proposed by
the committee, he pointed out this in
surance item as one which he was
sure could be reduced to $4,000.

tory for the allied arms since the bat

Almost a year TO the day since that
great battle, which marked the end Of
the German advance into France,
Joffre and French have hurled their
legions at the French line with vio-
lence for which they have been
months in preparing.
AS a result, the German position,
which extends in the form of a right
angie triangle from Ypres south to
point northeast Of Compeigne. thence
directly cast through Reims to a point
north Of Verdun, is in imminent dan
ger of development
In the two days since the great al
lied offensive began. striking at the
extremes Of this great German triangle
with the purpose Of fanking both an
giles. the French and British have cap
tured 10000 unwounded prisoners.
The French, on the southern line of
the German triangle. have smashed
their way for two and a half miles
through the German line on front Of
fifteen miles, while at the northern
end near Arras the British army has
captured five miles OF trenches and
broken the German line in some places
for depth of 1000 yards.

loss OF Loos and Souchez and the re-
tirement of the Germans for more than

Before making their announcement
the finance commissioners we're in

had been withdrawn. Jacob H. Schiif,
New York banker, communicated with
them.
1T was not possible that we could
have come to Chicago without dis

various sections OF the country.
