NJ 'AD0O IN REPORT
URGES EXTENSION
OF BUREAU OF WAR
RISK INSURANCE
Bureau Expires by Limitation Sep
tember 2, 1917, and Aids
Commerce.
u, S. HAS LARGEST
STOCK OF GOLD EVER HELD
Congress Requested for Additional
Revenues in Annual Report Of
Treasury Department.

Washington, Dec. 6.-An earnest
recommendation for the extension Of
another year of the bureau of war
risk insurance, which expires by
limitation, Sept. 2, 1917, is made in
the annual report of Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo, submitted to con-
gress today.
Gold coin and bullion to the
amount of $2,7OO,136,976 was held
the report shows; 'the largest stock
of gold ever held in this country or
any other country of the world"
The bureau of war risk insurance
up to Nov. II had 1854 policies, COW
ering total insurance of $163,395,-
6S7, says the report, and the sur
plus of premiums paid over losses
amount to S2,367,657,23.
The losses to date have amounted
to $233,924.60, from which salvage
of $59,055.S7 has been recovered.
The net amount at risk Nov. II
was $14,610,345.
While 100000 was appropriated
for the bureau under the original
CISC, tllO OPO1 oCl4S S-ApS11ASo liz v y
amounted to but $50, 1870.
Unless the bureau is continued,
says the report, and the war in Eur
ope continues after the date of ex-
piration the inability to grant war
risk insurance on American vessels
and cargoes in American vessels will
seriously injure the business and
commerce of the country.
High tribute is paid in the report
to the federal reserve system which
says our great prosperity could not
exist without it.
Under the new system created by
the federal farm loan act, says the
report, farm credits, the farm indus
try and the farmer will receive ines
timable benefits
Referring to the Pan-American
financial congress in 1917 which
meets in Washington, the secretary
says:
II cannot overestimate the value of
these congresses in bringing about a
better understanding and promoting
in this practical manner, friendly re-
lations and enlarging trade and COM
merce with our southern neighbors.
Exports for the year ending June
80 amounted to $3,333,658,665, an
increase of $2,6S8,859,380 over the
previous year, says the report.
Imports amounted to $2,197,S33,-
SO, an increase of $4S4,O0O,O0O.
Customs receipts totalled $213,
185,S45.62, showing a healthy in
crease.
The estimate of receipts and dis
bursements for the fiscal year 1916
says the secretary, shows that the ex-
isting laws will not provide sufficient
revenues to take care of the unusual
expenses of the government, due for
the most part to the large expendi-
turs by the army and navy for pre-
paredness, estimated for the year at
1857, $4,000.
Attention of congress is called to
the necessity of passing such meas
ures as will provide additional rev.
enues to meet the situation. %@..

= To be placed on the honor roll al
least five dollars worth of seals must
be purchased.
The Red Cross seal campaign in
Bemidji is advancing very satisfac-
torily Six hundred letters have been
sent out to Bemidji citizens, each
letter containing 100 stamps and the
request that one dollar be sent in
return to w. P. Dyer, superintendent
of schools, who is in charge OF the
seal campaign. The letters were
sent out Monday and on Tuesday 3S
favorable replies were received.
Thirty-nine dollars had previously
been received from citizens.
Today is National Physical EX-
animation day and everyone is urged
!. to be examined by physician.
Friday will be Children's Welfare
day.
Sunday will be tuberculosis Sun
day. At several of the churches ap-
propriate sermons will be given.
Miss Bessie Burns, school nurse,
is devoting her time to give talks to
each school class on Health this
week. A health organization is be-
ing formed in each class. A captain
is being appointed in each class room
too supervise health conditions.
Miss, Burns has examined all the
enhlldren in the third, fourth, fifth and
>>xxth grades during the past six
weeks.
Governor j. A. A. Burnquist today
issued the following statement in re-
gard to the seal campaign:
my experience, as governor of the
state, has strengthened my realiza-
ton of the responsibility which the
state bears to the health of it's citi-
zens. It is the duty of the state to
teach is citizens to care for them
selves, insofar as possible, and fur
ther, to care for those who cannot
care for themselves. We are trying
to do the latter of these things by
means of such institutions as our
state and county tuberculosis hospi-
tails.
eve have, however, fallen short
of our full duty in that we have not
made provision for teaching our citi-
zens how to keep their health. In
short, although we have given much
thought to matters of care, we have
given TOO utCle thought W Cue pre-
vention of disease.
II believe that the Minnesota Pub
>lic Health association is fulfilling in
.ge measure the public health
.1nSkion I have just mentioned. AS
"a voluntary organization, supported
entirely by private contributions, it's
future usefulness must necessarily
depend upon public interest in and
appreciation of it's accomplishments
and it's aims. I trust that during the
coming Red Cross Christmas seal
campaign the health association may
have the assistance of all our citizens
in every community of this state and
that this years sale may be the most
successful in the history of the or
ganization."

London, Dec. 6.-Herbert H. AS
quith has resigned the premiership
which he has held through eight
stormy years of domestic and foreign
history.
The announcement for the appoint
|ment and acceptance by Lloyd George
to form the new British ministry is
expected momentarily.
When Asquith resigned the king
offered the prime minister's commits
sion to the Unionist leader, Andrew
Bonar Law. It is authoritatively
stated that Law definitely declined
the kings offer.
1t is apparent that Lloyd George
will be called upon again to form
the new cabinet and it is believed
that he will accept.
The king summoned George to the
palace after he had a conference with
Law.
,.Asquith downfall is due to public
opinion and not to political intrigue.
Lloyd Georges attitude is simply the
concrete attitude of popular resent
ment at the inaptitude of Asquith's
coalition regime.
With the Germany Army at Pit
essci, Dec. 6.-Bucharest'S fate is
only matter of few days. Des-
perate Rumanian resistance can only
delay the capitol's occupation. The
Germans goal is apparently not alone
Bucharest, instead the object is to
destroy the Rumnanian army pre-
paratory to the march toward Russia,
with perhaps Odessa as the goal.
Petrograd, Dec. 6.-Continued Ger
man attacks on Bucharest from the
north, made in the direction of Ter
govistea in the Plishti region and
around Dokaneihti have been sue
cessful. The Rumanians have been
forced to retire.
