THE SOLDIERS INSURANCE

The insurance offered by the U.
S. government to- members of its
military and naval forces has been
called the most just and humane
provision ever made by any nation
for it's soldiers and sailors.
That it's value and advantages are
appreciated by the army and navy
is evidenced by the extent which it
has been availed of. Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoo officially an
nounced on Dec. Ia that 238,924 ap-
plications had already been received
representing $2,073, ,72s,500 of in
surance.
The average amount for appli-
cats is $3.50, which is very little
less than the maximum of $4,000.
The American forces in France were
prompt in availing themselves of the
insurance, Gen. Pershing himself
subscribing to the maximum of
$4,000

THE INTERNED GERMANS

Some purchasers of Liberty Loan
bonds, who have read exaggeraed
reports of the treatment accorded by
the United States authorities to the
German civilians interned in this
country have written to the Treas
ury department protesting against
the use of any of the money raised
by the Liberty Loans in 'pampering'
these alien enemies.
These interned German civilians
are not prisoners of war and are not
under the jurisdiction of the War
Department or the Treasury De-
partment, but by the provisions of
our immigration laws are placed un-
der the jurisdiction of the Depart
ment of Labor and comprise officers
and crews of the German merchant
vessels seized by the United States,
and other German civilians. Their
deportation, which ordinarily would
take place, is impracticable in view
of the international situation.
These aliens receive no compensa-
tion from the government except
such as is allowed them for work
actually performed and the wages
paid themare not exhorbitant at all.
In fact, if from their labor and 9TH
ersources they receive more than a
moderate amount of money month,
all in excess of a reasonable amount
for their care and comfort is with
held from them and placed to their
credit in the postal savings bank or
some other safe disposal made of it.
The Department of Labor also Of
ficially states that these aliens are
not allowed an excessive amount of
food, but three meals day of plain
but thoroughly palatable, substan-
tial food are given each. There is
no waste in these detention camps
and the same measures of economy
and conservation are being practiced
which are being urged upon every
American household.

Mrs. Genoah Dean, wife of Chas.
Dean who lost his life on a runaway
train at the Tunnel last January,
has brought suit against the rail-
road company for $4,000 damages.
The complaint alleges that Dean met
his death when his engine and cars
ran away near Tye, due to the neg
ligence of the railroad and its Of
ficials. 1t is alleged that the cars
did not have air brakes and other
equipment of the kind required by
law.
The plaintiff alleges that the safe
ty track switch at Tye, was negli-
gently allowed to be lined for the
main track instead of the safety
track and that the company had
known all these conditionsfor some
time. 1t is further charged that
Deans train was not properly in
spected at the mouth of the tunnel.

STATES WHEAT ACREAGE

E. T. Marchetti, of Spokane, field
agent for the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, has issued his last re-
port for the year in which he es-
Inmates the acreage of fall sown
wheat in Eastern Washington at
422 900 acres, which is 46.1 per cent
of the normal fall sown acreage of
914,725 acres. He estimates the
condition of fall sown wheat as 73
per cent compared with 72 per cent
year ago and 92 per cent for the
10 year average. He says the rain
and snow of the last four weeks has
improved conditions and germina-
ted much seed, but that the grain
enters the winter in a tender con-
dition due to the lack of sufficient
growth. Fear of losing high priced
wheat has detained many farmers
from seeding.
Whitman county leads all of the
counties in the state in the produc-
ton of wheat, their acreage the past
year being 274,000. Walla Walla
county is second on the list. Che
Ian county's normal wheat acreage
is about 5000 acres.

THE EIGHT HOUR LAW UP TO
VOTERS, AT NEXT ELECTION
Socialist Party Tenders Bill That
Would Provide Universal Hour
Day In This State

An initiative measure providing
the universal eight hour day for the
state of Washington, to be voted on
at the general election in November
1918, was rendered to Secretary of
State l. M. Howell on Tuesday. The
bill was sent in by Attorney Geo.
w. Loutitt of Everett on behalf of
the Socialist party.
The proposed bill is a copy of the
eight hour law which was defeated
at the general election in 1914 when
the famous fight for the "seven
sisters" was waged. The bill would
bar the employment of any person
in any industry or occupation for
more than eight hours in any one
day by any person, persons, firm or
or corporation. In cases of extraor-
dinary emergency the workers
could be worked more than eight
hours, but would have to be paid at
the rate of time and one half for
overtime. The penalty provided is
a fine of from $40 to 500 for each
day the offense continues.
The new bill when accepted, will
be known as initiative measure No.
80. The old bill was initiative
measure No. 13. The signers of pc
tition to have the bill filed are
James M. Salter, Langley; A. H.
Barth, Tacoma; James Sutton, Ia
coma; Emma Sager, Anacortes;
Mary A. Stevenson, Puyallup; Ar
thur H. Hansen, Stanwood.
In 1914 the vote on the hour
law was: For 1881; against,
212,935; majority against 94,054.
The filing of the bill at this par
ticular time is of unusual interest,
as there is now pending before Gov
ernor Lister the resolution of the
Employers association asking that
the legislature be called in special
session to pass law requiring all
able-bodied men to work.
