Aberdeen, S. D., Dec. IA definite
ruling that civilians may pay premi-
inns on federal insurance for soldiers
and sailors, has been received here ny
A. T.. Chamberlain, formerly institute
conductor for South Dakota. The rul.
ing came in response to his inquiry
whether it was possible for civilians
to pay the premium instead of having
the government take them from sol
diers' and sailors pay. He offered to
pay the insurance on the lives of two
soldiers, and expressed the belief that
many other civilians would be glad to
do their Bit in the same manner.
Recently Mr.. Chamberlain received
letter from S. T. Rotschild chief OF
the division of information, in answer
to his communication, in which the
chief stated that there is no provision
in the act of October 5, 1917, or in
the regulations of this bureau, prohib.
iting the payment of soldiers premi-
ums by persons other than the person
himself.
Later, Mr.. Chamberlain received
another letter, from C. F. Nesbit, com
missioner of the war risk bureau, in
which he says:
"The suggestion you make is patri.
otto and exceedingly practical and

FIVE TINES HAS HOLY CITY CHANGED HANDS
BY THE REV, CARRIES STEELE

When they built a 40-mile railroad
from Jerusalem to Joppa, and the call
of the conductor supplanted the com
mand of the camel driver, Jerusalem
took on a modern air which was the
beginning of the end for much of its
piCturesqueness and peculiar religious
significance.
1t has been the battle-ground of
Hebrew, Christian and MOhammedan
of Jew and Greek, of Roman and
Turk. Five times it has been taken
or retaken, and twice destroyed. For
at least thousand years-with brief
i2tervals-it has been in the hands of
the Mohammedans
And now, if Jerusalem should fall
into the hands Of the allies, what
would happen?
There would probably be revival
of "crusades," but they wouly be sani-
tary crusades., An attempt would, he

RESCUE IN THIS WAR
Is SIGNIFICANT.

WILLIAM r. MANNING, D. d., Rec.
tor of Trinity Church, New York.
"The freeing of Jerusalem from the
Turk will have great military value
and in the moral and spiritual sphere
1t is Of the highest Importance. The
city hallowed by the footsteps of Our
Lord Himself during His earthly work,
and associated with the hottest events

boys who are doing the real fighting,
and for the nurses who are taking
care of the wounded
This is the first instance" said Mr..
chamberlain, where any provision OF
this character has been made for the
safeguarding financially of the depend
EMS of soldiers or nurses, and for
making any provision by which the
men and women coming from the
ranks injured may fit themselves for
employment despite their hurts.
Mr.. Chamberlain called attention to
section 3O4 of the act, which reads
"That in case of dismembermen.,'O or
injuries to sight or hearing, and or
other injuries commonly causing per-
manent disability, the injured person
shall follow such course or courses OF
rehabilitation, reeducation and voca'
tional training as the United States
may provide, or procure to be provid-
ed, Should such course prevent the
injured person from following sub
stantially gainful occupation, while
taking same, form of enlistment may
be required which shall bring the in
iured person into the military or ma
val service. Such enlistment shall en-

I'm case of his willful failure prop
erly to follow such course or to 50 en-
list paymen. of compensation shall be
suspended until such willful failure
ceases and no compensation shall De
paid for the intervening period"
In discussing this provision, Mr..
Chamberlain said:
This seems to preclude the posi-
bility Of our having returned from the
war many persons who will BECOME
dependent. A dependent is thing
not to be desired from financial
standpoint, and still less to be desir-
ed from the standpoint Of the interest
of community or nation. This sec

great consolation and satisfaction for
Christian people everywhere to know
that Jerusalem is in the hands of

the Crusades down it has been grief
that the Holy Land, made holy by
it's association with the Savior, should
be in the hands Of Mohamm edans. Pal

in suggesting that the government be
asked to exempt about 800 ball play

bad taste in the mouths of thousands
