SHEEP KING OF
 AUSTRALIA HAS
 PLAN FOR SOLDIERS
Will Insure Them In Case of
 Death or Disahlement

SYDNEY, Australia, September 12. Correspondence of the Associated Press)-A scheme for insuring sold iers from Australia in this war which was launched early in July by Sir Nc Caughey the sheep king" of the Con- monwealth. is now in operation.
 Sir Samuel is an octogenarian bach elor pastoralist who lives at North Yanco is one of the finest on this con tinent. A few years ago his sheep properties totalled 2,S00,OO0 acres and the number of sheep shorn on them was a million yearly. The wool often reached more than $2,500, 900 in value. He came to Australia 60 years ago from his native town in the north of Ireland and is member of the legisla- tive Council. the upper house of the New South Wales Parliament. Prior to the war he made important contri- buttons to patriotic funds, including one for equipping troops for the Boer ' numerous.
 Sir SamueTs latest patriotic gift, the terms of which are contained in a deed of declaration now made public, is an undertaking to insure the lives of 300 Australian soldiers. Each policy is to be a special one in an Australian company for $1O00 payable if the in sured soldier meets with death or to- tai disablement Only recruits who have enliste since early in July are eligible. T deed provides for other patriotic Australians joining with Sir Samuel in the scheme.
 Sir Samuel stipulates that the chill dren of the men insured "shall include illegitimate as well as legitimate chii- dren, and dependents shall include the mothers of such illegitimate children" /" This liberal provision has excited fav- oral ble comment in Australia.
 The work of carrying out the scheme has been entrusted to board of four prominent citizens. A year after peace has been declared, should there be any unexpended funds the money may in the discretion of this board be spent for the further benefit of the insured soldiers or their dependents or it may
 be turned over to any philanthropic
 fund or institution connected with the war
