FREE INSURANCE IS
LATEST PROPOSAL

Washington, July 27.-plans for gov
eminent insurance for American sol.
iiers and sailors took a new turn when
coRmlttee OF insurance men coop.
Grating with Secretary McAdoo sub.
mitted a recommendation that no
charge be made for proposed policies.
The suggestion is the government
donate a 1000 war insurance policy
TO each soldier.
Under the original plan each soldier
would be permitted to take out a gov
eminent policy for from 1000 to $10.-
500 at a rate of about SIS per $1,000
which was figured by actuaries as be-
ne the net cost of insurance in peace
times The government under that
plan would pay the extra cost due to
leavy war casualties.
The men who proposed the new plan
say many soldiers might not take out
insurance policies because Of the ex
pense, even though comparatively
slight.

CANADA WILL SECURE
LOAN IN new YORK

Washington, July 27. - Canada will
borrow $100,000,000 in the United
States to offset. in part, the heavy
trade balance against her in this coun
try.
The loan will run for two years
bear interest at the rate of approxi
mately per cent and will be made by
a syndicate of New York bankers.
Negotiations for the loan have been
proceeding for some time past The
final approval by the American
government-was announced by Sec
retary McAdoo.
One of the reasons why the treas
ury itself is not making the loan i
that such a credit would have to be
made In that case indirectly through
Great Britain.
Another reason is that heavy de
mands already have been made and
are in prospect on the $4,000, 100000
authorized by congress as loan t.
