POINTS ON FEDERAL INSURANCE
Friend Can Buy Policy But Soldier
Must Give Consent.

Camp Custer, Battle Creek-Since
the announcement that relatives and
friends could buy government insur-
ance for enlisted men in the navy and
army OF the United States, the division
insurance bureau has been besieged
by inquiries relative to the proper
method of filing such application.
The following simple rules will as.
sist to aid man in the service TO
carry government policy.
1t is necessary that the consent Of
the man on whom the insurance is
asked be secured. He must approve
not only of the application in his be-
half but of the beneficiaries or bene-
ficiary.
1t is preferred that the man himself
purchase the insurance but if, for any
reason he feels unable to do so,
friend or a relative may make the
application and pay the premiums.
After consent is procured the next
step is to file an application with the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Divi-
sion Of Military and Naval Insurance,
Treasury Building, Washington, d. c.
The full name and address of the per-
son applying and the full name and
address of the beneficiary must be
given. The application must also set
forth the full name, date OF birth, rank,
company, regiment and camp or loca-
ton of the men to be insured. The
date of bis enlistment should be given
il known, and the amount of insur-
ance asked must be noted.
One months premium must accom-.
pany all applications. In case the ap-
plication is denied this will be re-
turned.
II it is impossible to reach the man
in service by letter in order to obtain
his consent. the application may be
made without his permission. In such
an event the government will locate
him and ascertain his views.

Foils Game of Amateur Detectives
Who Were Making a Business OF
Rounding Up Suspects.

Camp Custer, Battle Creel-Ama-
teur detectives who planned to get rich
through rewards the government had
offered for deserters have been frus-
trated by new war department order.
According to the original draft law,
any man who voluntarily or otherwise,
failed to report at an army camp after
being called was classed autOmatical
ly as a deserteT. His intentions in the
matter were not considered. Anyone
causing his arrest and delivery at any
army post was entitled to a $50 re-
ward.
Now, however, the mans intent to
desert, if he had such, must be proved
In addition his captors right to the
reward also depends on whether the
man was physically fit to be soldier.
Nor will man, caught as a deserter,
be accepted in Camp Custer until his
own local board sends papers to show
he had attempted evasion and he is
physically qualified.
Men hold as deserters hereafter
must be taken TO the nearest local
board There it will be ascertained
whether or not he planned to escape
service If he did so that local board
will furnish the captor with certificates
to that effect. The deserter then can
be turned over to the nearest army
post and the reward collected.

COAL PRICES RAISED AGAIN
Increase Of IS Cents a Ton Authorized
to Meet Wage Increase.

Washington.-A general increase o!
80 cents a ton was added TO the price
Of anthracite coal at the mines Satur-
day by President Wilson, to meet a
proposed wage increase for anthracite
miners. The new prices are effective
Immediately and will add more than
$30000,000 TO the public's annual coal
bill.
The wage increase was agreed on
by operators and miners represen-
tatives here two weeks ago contir-
gent on higher coal prices, to absorb
the raise. When their negotiations
were ended the operators and miners
turned over to the fuel administration
their agreement and estimates OF what
it would add to the cost of produc
ton. They asked that prices be raised
at least 40 cents a ton.

Cambrai Positions.

ondon.-Germans in a violent Of
fensive over the entire Cambria front

So declared James w. Gerard, for
mer ambassador to Germany from the

Criticism and Progress.

General Gallieni, who commanded
the Paris garrison at the outbreak of
the war, and afterward served as min
lister of war, once said:
Don't criticize until you can cor
rect" Is his plea.
If everybody acted on this sugges-
ton the world would stand still, says
the Des Moines Register. 1t is criti-
cism which finally brings correction,
for even If the first criticism is wholly
destructive, it will set mems minds to
working, and somebody will find q
remedy.
There is poverty In the world, and
nobody has yet proposed plan which
will eliminate it. Therefore, shall we
keep still about poverty and fail to
criticize 1t?
Constructive criticism is better than
destructive, but to have neither Ns
fatal TO progress.
