McAdoo to Discuss
Plan for Insuring
American Troops
VIII Meet Company Heads on
July 2 to Formulate
the Scheme

Washington. Juns E7.-Plans for in
suring the lives of American soldiers
and sailors during the war will be dis
cussed at conference of life insurance
company presidents with Secretary Nc
Adoo here July ,. Invitations were
sent to the life insurance men to-day
by the Treasury Department.
One idea suggested is to place the
insurance in the hands of the Federal
War Risk Insurance Bureau, which is
now insuring lives of men Of the mer-
chant marine. Another plan TO be con-
sidered is a combination of insurance
companies cooperating with, or backed
by. the government.
"No organized effort has ever been
made by any government to provide
this sort of protection and comforting
assurance to its fighting men, said
Secretary McAdoo tonight. why
should not America take the lead IN
this noble and humane action? ~

another battalion marched brisfly down
the same brick street from the end OF
a tree-lined vista and formed in the
parade grounds. The bluejacket nine
was still at it's baseball practice; the
marines were at the far end Of the
field too distant TO demand particular
attention. A third battalion formed
and stacked arms in front Of the bar

Recruiting Lays
In Drive to Fill
Regulars Ranks
New York Enlistments Are
Far Behind the Quota
Expected

News Of the arrival Of American
troops in France was received with en-
thusiasm yesterday by army recruiting
officers. II gave them an argument
which they intend to use with telling
effect in their weeks campaign 20 fill
up the gaps in the ranks Of the regu-
lars.
at has been our experience right
along that the country has not awak-
ened 10 the fact that we are at war,
said Colonel X. u. Walsh, chief of the
recruiting staff for the New York dis
trict. But this announcement that GU
soldiers are near the front ought TO be
the beginning of the development OF d
new spirit among our young men.
81 cannot make promises 10 young
men who want action Immediately, but
in this report from France there IS
pretty good proof that the ranks Of the
regulars is the place for the men who
would lose no time IN getting 70 the
front"
The last half of recruiting week be
gins to-day and finds the army officer
and the civic organizations which are
helping them facing the task Of enlist
ing 2.l97 men here By Saturday night
The results of the first three days
hardly indicate that they will be sue
cessful, however, unless the fact of the
arrival of troops in France proves 20
be unusually inspiring to young men
Of fighting age.
Mea Holding Back
The daily results so far are: Mon
day, 900; Tuesday, l6S; yesterday. lG6.
These figures are larger than for the
preceding week, but at that rate New
York will raise barely half Its quota
of $500 during the week that the coun-
try is trying to raise 10000 men for
the regulars.
The 1876 men who enlisted yesterday
were the fruits Of diligent work on the
part Of Sergeant Hafner and his motor
buses, flying squadrons of ministers,
killed pipe9s and army bands. Ser
geant Hafner was out in his motor bus
