Urge The Passage OF The Indefn-
nifty And Insurance Law Before
Congress-.

II is the desire of the Woman's Commit
tee to call attention to bill introduced in
Congress August 10th. by Senator Sim
mons in the Senate. and by Representa-
tive Alexander in the House Of Represen-
tatives, providing for family allowances.
naturalization, re-education and insur-
ance in behalf of the officers and soldiers
Of the army of the United States.
This bill endorsed by President Wilson,
Secretary McAdoo, and many Of the Com
mittees Of the Council Of National Defense.
Its Importance cannot be overestimated,
and it should be Immediately passed by
Congress.
Thousands Of our young men are already
in the line Of battle; other thousands will
soon assemble in the various encamp-
ments. They are giving US their occupa-
tons and future prospects of success and
riskine their lives for their country, and
we. secure in the safety insured by their
sacrifices, should be alive to any means
which will tighten their load. Nothing
could inspire them with confidence more
than the knowledge that their services are
appreciated by their country, and that
their families, the wards of the country, will
not suffer during their absence, and that
on their return. II incapacitated. they will
not be dependent upon the bounty Of the
Government, but that. by the service they
have rendered. they have earned the COM
pensation. which. through the passage Of
this bill, they will receive. 1t would stimu-
late enlistment, inspire zeal. inspire men
for service. and give them that peace Of
mind without which men cannot render
whole hearted service in any field of action
The women Of our country must use
every influence to make the lives Of ouI
soldiers free from anxiety as possible. and
there is nothing that we can do to hearter
them more than that they shall feel thai
women are intellisently awake to thei
peace Of mind as well az their mere physi
cal comfort. Let US use every agency o.
the Woman's Committee in State. county
and city to secure the passage Of this bill
1t should be passed at once, and, II we art
to be valuable factor in securing Its pas
sage, we must act Immediately. so thai
when the conscripted men are called t
camp in September they may 60 with the
assurance that those who are dependent
upon them are still cared for by their loyal
patriotic and courageous service in behal
Of their country.
Please urge women everywhere to write
or telegraph the members Of Congress
urging the prompt passage Of the measure
Ten thousand messages day should reacl
Washington until it becomes law. Thil
is task for every loyal woman whose lif'
and home are protected by the services O
our splendid young army.
Faithfully yours,
