Steadily Improving

1t is generally conceded hat no
business vas more seriously erected
in the South by reason of the Euro
pean war than Life Insurance, in so
far as the writing of New business
was concerned. Men who had been
considering the matter of applying
for insurance on their lives previous
to August 1, 1914, abandoned the
proposition on the outbreak OF the
war, losing sight Of the fact that, In
many instances, their dependents were
less able to CARRY THE RISK
than previous to that time. because
Of the fact that the death OF the
Breadwinner would mean greater
hardship than might have been the
case under normal conditions. l am
pleased to be able to state that condt-
tons are steadily improving in this
section, and that Life Insurance Will
very likely resume normal before
many weeks, war or no war.

A DUEL OF CHARITY.


Here is one of the incidents of
ready self-sacrifice for others, which
are of daily occurrence in these times
of heroism, summarized from the Sc.
maine Religieuse of Montpelier
"a soldier called BRAND was brought
into the hospital at Creil riddled with
bullet and shell wounds. Gradually
he grew weaker and weaker; the doc
tors found that it was hopeless to
save his shattered leg. The limb was
amputated, but he continued to sink,
and there seemed only one small
chance of saving his life-transfusio
of blood. The Able Marine, who was
the inflrmier attending him, offered
himself, but the ambulance major said
he could not spare him. Then a priest
soldier, corporal, was asked to find
a man, but be straightway offered
himself. A friendly rivalry between
the two priests then ensued, each
contending that he could do his work
after the operation, and that he would
be only too glad thus to assist in the
saving of man who was q father.
The infirmier declared that it was his
right to perform this last act of char
ity towards one of his wounded, and
carried the day. So the operation took
place, but failed to save BRAND, who
died shortly afterwards"

MEN CANNOT QUIT NAVY.

President Wilson has denied the ap-
plication for voluntary retirement of
twenty commanders and lieutenant
commanders of the navy, who sought
to leave the active list under the law
which permits such retirements, June
80, when promotions from the grade
of junior lieutenant have been less
than 40 during the preceding year.
This action was taken because ex-
perienced officers are needed in active
service, and for naval officers on the
retired list to engage in the manufac-
ture Of ordnance for a foreign bellig-
erent would be breach of neutrality.
1t is admitted that officers have
sought retirement to accept such pc.
sitions.
