CONCORDIA Is
ENROLLING MORE.
Than EXPECTED
School Season Opens With
Prospects of Bettering
Previous Records

The attendance at Concordia coll
lege Is much larger than was expect
ed in view OF the fact that many
students have enlisted in their coun-
try's service and others have been
called into the national army. New
students are arriving daily and the
increased enrolment indicates the
most successful year in the history OF
the institution.
At the formal opening on Tuesday
there were special solos by Victor
Liska, the new teacher Of vocal
music, and organ voluntaries by
Miss Mollie Martinson.
President Aasgaard, in his opening
address, told the students that prog
ress depends upon dissatisfaction
with present conditions. IF the stu
dent is satisfied with present
intellectual attainments he will be-
come a loafer," said the president.
True attainment in either the physi-
cal, mental or spiritual realm always
discounts the things already attain

per cent. '. -

ON CHARITY OF
COMMUNITIES
McAdoo Explains New In
surance Bill To Men
At Camp Lewis
NEW PLAN is HUMANE
JUST AND GENEROUS
Provides For Wounded,
Disabled and Families
OF Men Killed
CBy Associated Press)

Camp Lewis, Tacoma, Get. 10
William @. McAdoo. secretary Of the
treasury yesterday explained to 30,-
600 men of the national army here,
the provisions Of the soldiers and
sailors insurance law. There never
has been so humane. just and gener-
Gus a measure enacted by any peo-
pie before, he declared.
The new soldiers and sailors in
surance law provides that in this war
the dependent wife and children OF
any man who wears the uniform Il
his country. be he in the army or in
the navy, shall not be dependent, as
heretofore, upon the charity of the
communities in which they live, nor
shall they be required to depend up
on some relative or somebody else
for their support, he said.
For Support of Family.
I'm the case Of an enlisted man
who has a wife and children, or a
wife alone, he is, under the law,
obliged to set aside one-half Of his
pay-that will be SIS month for the
private while serving in this country
and $3.50 while serving abroad-to
support his wife and children. That
is what he is required to provide for
them and the government will i'm
mediately upon his doing that give
his wife, If he has a wife alone, SIS
more per month.
The government gives the wife
just as much as you. yourselves. II
there are children he will not be re-
quired to pay more than half his pay
to his wife. If he has a wife and one
child the government will pay $2S a
month, if a wife and two children, the
government will pay $3.50 and will
give IS for each additional child while
the husband is serving in the army.
Allowances are also provided for de-
pendents other than The wife and
children.
I'm addition to that II the man is
killed and he has a wife and child
rem, the government will provide
compensation for the wife so long as
she remains unmarried, and support
for the children until they become Is
years of age. II the man is partially
disabled the government will make a
fixed monthly payment to that man
ranging from $50 a month if he is
unmarried to SIS month II he has a.
wife and three or more children.
Should he be so helpless as to require
a nurse or attendant. ne will be Civ
en- up to $50 additional. Should he
lose both feet, both hands, or both
eyes, or be permanently bedridden, he
will be paid $40 a month whether he
is a bachelor or married"
