CHAS. Is. L1DDAN
President Of the Federal National
Bank Of Washington, D. c., under date
Of February 18th, 1915, wrote the Lo-
cal Treasurer Of the Mutual Benent
Life Insurance Co., at Washington Dis
follows:
81 am very glad of the opportunity
to give some expression of my opinion
| of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
| Co. I have been solicited by agents OF
most all Of the old Line companies.
1 have listened to the arguments pre-
| scented and have studied the policy
contracts Of various companies. The
! more l study this subject and the more
1 hear of life insurance, the more l
am convinced that the Mutual Benen
gives a larger value for every dollar
paid I'm premium thar does n other
company.
Besides the large annual dividends
this company pays, 1t has been most
liberal in extending back to old policy
holders all Of the privileges OF the
new contracts, in 80 far as this Is pos,
sible. This is truly a mutual act, and
1 know that all future privileges will
be extended to me whenever they are
enacted. l can heartily recommend
the Mutual Benefit to all persons con-
t%emplating life insurance"
JAMES A. CAHILL,
Vice President Of the Commercial Ma
tional Bank of Washington, D. c., un-
der date Of February II, 1915, wrote
as follows: 1T gives me pleasure to
add my testimonial to the worth OF
the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company. During my business career
I have never met a policy holder OF
your company who has anything but
the highest praise for 1t. From my
own experience Blasting since 1882 1t
stands out in bold relief against ALL
OTHERS. It's contracts are free OF
t~echnicalities and most liberal as to
values. 1t gives value received Tor
every dollar deposited with 1t and l
most heartily commend 1t to any de-
string insurance"
I shall be pleased to show you that
the foregoing can be fully substan-
tiated.

Will CONFINE BLOCKADE
GREAT BRITAIN AND FRANCE
ASSURE UNITED STATES OF
BOUNDARY.
Allies Propose to Blockade Germany
With as Little Loss to NeutraIs
as Possible.

Observation-Disclosures commune
cations were made public by the State
Department constituting the entire
between the United States and Ger
many and between tn United States
and Great Britain and France, relative
to the cessation of submarine attacks
on merchant ships, the shipment of
conditional contraband and foodstuffs
to civilians, the use of neutral flags by
belllgerent merchantmen, the remov-
al Of mines, and the proclamation of
virtual blockade of the Allies against
Germany.
The communications revealed that
the United States, realizing the diff
culties of the Allies maintaining an
effective blockade of Germany by a
close guard of the coast on account of
the newly-developed activity of sub
marines, asked that "a radius of &C.
tivity" be defined. Great Britain and
France replied with the announcement
that the operations of blockade would
not be conducted "outside of European
waters, including the Mediterranean"
While Germany agreed it is disclos-
ed to abandon her submarine attacks
on mercantile of any flag" except
when they resist visit or search pro-
vided foodstuffs were permitted to
reach her civilian population, Great
Britain and her Allies rejected the
proposal originally made by the United
States in an effort to bring the bel
ligerents into an arrangement which
would safeguard the interests of neu-
trails.
Furthermore the documents show
that the United States asked Great
Britain and France whether the en-
barge on all commerce between Ger
many and neutral countries was to be
carried out under the rules of
blockade or by interference with ships
and cargoes "as if no blockade exist
3D." the two together presenting in
the view of the American Government
a proposed course of action previous
ly unknown to international law.
The answers from Great Britain and
France reveal for the first time that
the Allies officially regard their policy
as BLOCKADE" but desire to refrain
from exercising the rights of belliger-
ents under a blockade to confscate
ships and cargOes as a penantly for
breach of blockade, substituting pro-
cedure in prize courts and compensa-
ton through sale Of the detained mer-
chandise.

FRENCH SUBMARINE LOST
GREAT FRENCH BOAT Is DE-
TURKISH STRAIT.
Admiral Tells of Sinking Of Undersea
Craft in tttempt to Torpedo the
Big Cruiser.

London The loss of a French SUBJ
marine boat in an attempt to run
through the Dardanelles is described
by Rear Admiral Guepartte of the
French Dardanelles fleet, in an inter
view with the Daily Telegraph's Ten
dos correspondent. The attempt ap-
parently was made some time ago al
though no announcement has been
made of it heretofore.
The object of the submarine was
the sinking of the Turkish battle
cruiser Sultan Selim formerly the
German cruiser Goeben), the CORE
spondent says Admiral Guepratte told
him. The submarine was submerged
and successfully navigated the straits
up to the corner where the Asiatic
coast juts out at Niagara. Through
some miscalculation the hull struck
the rocky shore which compelled the
boat to rise to the surface. 1mmed1-
diately the submarine appeared the
forts sank her. Only a few of her
crew escaped and these were made
prisoners.
Regarding the present situation in
the Dardanelles Rear Admiral Geu-
pratte said the waters of the straits
are clear sd far as Mephez Bernu, to
which points all vessels of the fleet
can safely navigate. The main mine
fields, however, are between Chanak
Kalessi and Kilid Bahr, where also
are the main coast defenses."

WONDERFUL HOW RESINOL
STOPS ITCHING AT ONCE

To those who have endured for years
the itching torrents of eczema or other
such skin-eruption, the relief that the
first use of resinol ointment and res
mol soap gives is perfectly incredible.
After all the suffering they have
endured and all the useless treatments
they spent good money for, they can
not believe anything so simple, mild
and inexpensive can stop the itching
and burning INSTANTLY! And they
find it still more wonderful that the
improvement is permanent and that
resinol really drives away the erup-
ton completely in very short time.
Perhaps there is a pleasant surprise
like this in store for you. Resinol oint-
ment and resinol soap are sold by all
druggists.-Adv.

Congress because of it's provision for
changing railway mail pay from a
weight to a space basis. He announc-
ed his intention to renew his recon-

The railway mail committee rep
resenting certain railroads" the
statement declares, Engineered the
fight against the appropriation bill
and financed a propaganda designed
to mislead and wrongfully influence
the public mind into an attitude of
antagopism to the department"
Under the present system, accord
ing to Mr.. Burleson, some railroads
get much more than their share Of
the money paid for transporting the
mails, and substitution of the space
basis not only would save money for
the Government, but would make pos
sible more equitable treatment of the
roads. Of the departments effort to
have this legislation included in the
appropriation bill, the statement says:
cit was and is determined we'll
considered effort to end system I'M
der which the postal authorities are
compelled to stand helplessly by. while
the railways loot the postal revenues.
Although the railways contend they
are underpaid for carrying the mails,
the facts are that they are overpaid
and that they are receiving from the
government amounts which, for haul
of any considerable length, exceed by
about two to one the amounts they re-
ceive from express companies for sim

American Government Awaiting Fur
ther Construction BY England.
Washington. While the United
States does not know as yet whether
the Allies intend to maintain a legal
blockade or propose to apply general
rules of contraband and non-contra-
band in enforcing their embargo on
commercial intercourse between Ger
many and neutral countries, Ameri-
can naval officers and officials versed
in international law expressed the
opinion that the indefinite limit pre-
scribed European waters, including
the Mediterranean" might be con-
strued as a legal area of operations
for blockading fleet.
Naval officers frankly admit that
the old form of blockade by warships
close to an enemy coast passed with
the investment of Santiago in the
Spanish-American war. Accordingly,
in asking Great Britain and France
for an explanation of their recent
declaration of an embargo, the United
States conceded that the activity of
submarines might make physically
impossible a close blockade of an
enemy coast, and suggested that if
the declaration of the Allies were to
be construed as legal blockade some
radius of activity be announced.

Fire Destroys Horses.

High Point-Fire at the Gould
Lodge, six miles from High Point, de-
stroyed 13 horses, one of which was
valued at $1,000, 1900 bushels of corn
together with the three large barn
buildings, including great quantities
of hay and feedstuff The average
value of the animals is estimated at
5000 each. The lodge itself was saved.
The High Point motor fire truck was
called, but arrived too late to accom-
plish anything because of low water
supply. The origin of the fire is I'M
known
