ium abatements in the history of the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany - $4,755, 900 is awarded this
year, according to the siXty-ninth an
nual report issued by the board of

sible by a lower expense ratio to in
from expected mortality, is an in

An increase of S24,259,946 in new
paid-for insurance over 1915 and an
addition of $50, ,64S. .241 to the total
outstanding paid-for insurance in
force is shown by resume. of 1916,

TREASON AND ITS PENALTY

To the Editor OF the Euening Ledger:
Sir--Tn the EVENING LEDGER of August
s correspondent walls over the lynching
of Little, in one of the Western States and
prates about the law. How much did Little
and his adherents care about the law?
We are at war and it is no time for
traitors to travel around the country ad-
vocating resistance and disobedience to the
draft. 1t Is special law made for the oc-
casion of the war against Germany. Why?
Because we have among US a lot of ours,
with big yellow streaks, who would not
volunteer in defense of the country that
gives them shelter.
But he says, Little was a cripple" Did
that stop him from doing "his Bit" not for
our country, but for Kaiser Bill?
There ought to be more strung up. This
is no time for sentiment. We are at war
No civilized government will tolerate trea-
son and sedt:on. In time of war the death
penalty is rigidly enforced am for peace /;
I love peace, but not now. No, not now
We must fight for it, and we'll fight until
we bring Kaiser Bill to his knees and teach
him and his Junker crowd that they can
no longer defy and sneer at American
rights.
In conclusion, I would advise the Wat
sons Goldmans. Berltmans and others e
they will not fight the Kaiser. that they
must not attempt to nullify the conscrip-
tion act They who do so violate the law
and commit the greatest crime that can be
committed against our country--"treason 4"
Does your law-abding CD correspondent
know that? j. X,
