PARTICIPATION IS OPPOSED BY HOLDER OF AN INSURANCE
 POLICY.
DISRUPTION THREATENED
Bill Asks That Company Officers Be Restrained From Investing It's Trust Funds For Purpose of Aiding and
 Manufacturing Munitions.

Chicago. that the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York contemplates investing $10,000,000 of it's trust funds in the Anglo-French loan of p500,000, 900. Olga H. s. Walsh Chicago. holder of a S2.000 insurance policy in the Mutual. filed suit for in junction in the federal court here.
 The insurance company, Charles Peabody, president; the directors, members of the Anglo-French loan commission, J. P. Morgan individually and J. P. Morgan X Co. were named as defendants.
 Flank S. Monett, former attorney general of Ohio, who prosecuted the antitrust suit in that state against the Standard Oil Company, acted as attorney for the plaintiff.
 The complaint to the court sets forth that among the thousands of policy holders in the Mutual Life Insurance Company are many persons of various nationalities, and that the investment of the trust fund of these policyholders in the Angl0-French loan would tend to produce antagonism among the policy holders which might lead to dis rupting the company and thereby de. preciate the value Of her interest in the company.
 In the language of the bill the court is informed that the solvency of the company and the conservation of the reserve fund depend on the good will of the policy holders, and no part of the assets of the company should be loaned or invested in the securities of any of the warning nations or is sued for the purpose of abetting ex- isl-ng wars"
 The bill asks that the company off cers be restrained from investing it's trust funds in the loan or suffering any of it's assets to be used for the purpose of aiding the manufacture of munitions of war, aeroplanes, subma- rines, any naval outfit or appliances to be used by the English or French nations for belligerent purposes It further asks that j. P Morgan and J. P Morgan & Co. be restrained from soliciting or conniving with the off cers and directors of the Mutual Life Insurance Company for the purpose of procuring any of it's funds directly or indirectly to be invested in the S500- 100000 Anglo-French loan.

 Despite it's obtrusive newness, Kiev is an ancient city It's fortunes have been intimately connected with the fortunes of Russia. It was founded about the beginning of the seventh century. and it's authentic history be- gins with the arrival of the two Scan dinavian knights, Askold and Dyr, who left Novogorod to take possession of it. Kiev early became Christian, and the Greek faith was carried to the rest of the Russians from here. In the eleventh century there are said to have been 400 churches within it's walls. The relations between ByZan- tium and Kiev were close, and much If the Greek culture that has mixed itself with Russian life entered the empire by way of this city.
 Kev has been badly battered in more than 1000 years of wars and in- ternal disorders. but it has had a say ing way of quickly covering up it's wounds and beginning afresh with re- doubled courage. At one time it was the capital of the Russian state. It was subject for more than two gener- ations to the Mongols, when it fell to the possession of the Lithuanian prin- cipality for 239 years. for S5 years it was under the sway of Poland, and was finally reunited to Russia in 1886 It is by far the most important city in the Ukraine.

Pinsk is joined by canal to the west with the Bug and thus with the Vistula and German Danzig. The Orginsky canal to the north connects it with the Niemen. while the Pripet brings it in- to connection with the rich lands of Little Russia. The Russian govern ment has been conducting works for the draining of the swamps around Pinsk since 1872. and some S,000,000 acres have been reclaimed. To the east of Pinsk. however. lies great stretch of land almost hopelessly wa ter-logged.
 While the introduction of railways diverted some of the water-borne traffic of Pinsk, it still enjoys a consid. erable commerce, and, before the war, there was every promise that it's river and canal carried trade would increase enormously. Grains, meats and other farm products; leather, timber and timber products form the bulk of it's commerce. The town has a number of factories which turn out matches, leather goods, soap. beer and wood. work It has a population of about 30 900, more than two-thirds of which
