Emperor of Austria Dead.

Emperor Francis Joseph, of
Austria-Hungary, died at the
SchpeAbrunn castle, in Vienna,
Wednesday of last week.
Like the death of Pope Plus X,
the end of the venerable Emperor
is charged solely to the great
war. The one man was a helpless
spectator shocked at the sudden
and widespread clash or arms; the
other the man whose action in
avenging the assassination Of his
heir engulfed the nine nations
now in combat.
With the death of Francis Jo-
seph passes one of the most pic
turesque of the European rulers.
He was nearing his eighty-fourth
birthday and had been on the
Austrian throne for 68 years.
Archduke Carl Francis Joseph,
nephew of Francis Joseph, has
been proclaimed Emperor. Re-
ports from Vienna say that the
change in rulers will have no ef-
feet on the political or military
situation.

For Obligatory War Training.

New York, Nov. 25.-Nlilitary
training should be made obliga-
tory in the United States, in the
opinion of the national committee

Association. A resolution urging
such action was adopted at a
meeting here today Of the com
mittcc, attended by advocates Of
the training camp idea from all
parts of the country.
Plans for nation wide recruit
ing campaign for next summer
camps were approved. The belief
was expressed that thousands Of
men would attend the camps, as
Congress had appropriated : mil
lion dollars for expenses. 1t was
suggested that the IA million I'M
lcrgraduateS of colleges and
pupils of boys schools be asked
to join the camps.
The object of the association, it
was stated, was not to raise vol
untmy army. but to foster the
adoption Of a military police
founded on the idea of equal OBJ
legation and similar to the Swiss
and Austrian systems, but adopt
ed to suit the needs Of this cOun-

TIRED OF POOLING WITH
MEXICO
Officials Hopeful Carranza Will
Approve When PAM Elk
plains American
Policy.

Washington, D. c., Nov. %
There appears to be little doubt
that the American government
will approve the principle of the
protocol signed in Atlantic City
yesterday by the members of the
INSTRUMENTATION joint commits
sion providing for conditional
withdrawal of the American
troops now in Mexico and for mil
itary control of the border.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing began the study Of the
protocol today, and while no an
nouncement will be made until
they have considered the details,
other officials said the agreement
followed the general ideas Of the
administration.
The attitude of Gen. Carranza
toward the agreement is consid
cred here as more problematical.
Alberto j. PAM, one of the Mexi-
can members Of the joint commits
sion, will deliver it to him at
Qucretaro and will make supple
mentary explanation Of the atti-
tudaof the American Commits
sioners. The American members
are hopeful this explanation will
impress Gen. Carranza, since

Of the United States was made at
the Atlantic City conference

the American Commissioners, was
back at his desk at the Interior
Department today, but made no

lie will probably discuss Mexico
with him Monday or Tuesday, but
formal action by the administra

of the time required for Mr.. PAM
to reach Queretaro.
Officials display determining
ton to deal firmly with the Mex
lean question, no matter what at
titude Gen. Carranza takes
toward the agreement. They are
however, that he will APP

HEALTH INSURANCE
SHOULD BE COMPULSORY
DOCTOR SAYS
Death Rate Of Wage Farmers
Would be Decreased and
General Conditions
Better.
BY DR.. NJ. =. Rayenal

Compulsory health insurance is
an economical means of providing
adequately for the sick wage
Garner and will prove Il mighty
force for the inauguration Of
comprehensive campaign for
health conservation.
Strong forces are at work in
America to bring about a com
pulsory health insurance for
working people. Investigation
has shown that wage earners haze
a death rate which is twice that
of professional men; that there is
high rate of sickness. and a
great need among wage earners
for better medical care. The fear
of expense keeps many wage earn
crs from consulting physician,
while many more consult physi-
clans too late and leave his care
before they are entirely cured.
In Rochester, N. Y, a health sur
vey showed that 80 per cent of
those sick in the city were not
under the care of physician. In
Boston. Mass. it is estimated that
.onr-fourth of the people are un-
able to pay the fees of private
physicians. Compulsory health
insurance would improve these
conditions.
1t has been shown that the av-
rragc loss of time for each wage
Garner is nine days a year, which
means an aggregate wage loss of
approximately $5OO,OOO,OOO.
Health insurance would provide
systematic method of meeting the
loss incident to sickness. Work
crs would consult physicians
promptly, and stay under their
care as long as was necessary,
since the loss of wages would be
provided against and the needs Of
the dependent family taken care
Of.
The cost of health insurance is
to be divided between the employ
ceS, the employer, and the state.
The systems carried out in the
older countries of Europe have
been thoroughly studied by a COM
in this country, and we'll
defined plan has been drafted.
The public is interested in the
plan in practical way because it
is a most efficient method of pre-
venting the spread of disease.
From the humanitarian stand
point, it will relieve much suffer-
ing and distress. Whatever bet
Lcrs the condition of the working
oeople of the community bctters
he community and state as a
whole.
