the elements, All around shell holes
were filled to their brims with water.

shell holes and slipping through the
deepest mud. They knew, however.

Takes Care of Dependents.
The measure, he said, provides that
dependent wives and children shall
not be dependent on the charity of
the people of their community or rela-
tives. Under this act each married
soldier or sailor Is obliged to set aside
one-half of his pay which in the case
of a private amounts to SIS a month
and the government will give the wife
an additional SIS. In families where
there are two children, for instance, 1t
amounts to $3.50.
Never has there been such a. hui
manitarian or just measure passed by
a legislative body" Mr.. McAdoo said.
"In case of death the government will
provide for the wife so long as she
remains unmarried and her children
until they reach the age of IS. Men
disabled will receive pay for life. The
government is taking the most ad-
vanced step for the benefit of soldiers
in the history of the world.
Insured by Country.
when you men were called into
service, no insurance company in the
world would insure you at less than
prohibitive rate. So your country de-
cided to insure you. All men who
want to take out insurance must make
application within four months after
entering the army. You must take out
from 81, 900 to $4,000 and your pre-
miums will run from $3.50 to IS a
thousand. The government wants
every man here to take out $4,000
for those whom he loves. Why should
any soldier be pensioner?"
