entS to go unpr0vided With everything
that a just, generous and noble people
can do to compensate themfor the suf-
ferings and sacrifices they make to
serve their country.
Aside from the care and protection of
their dependents while the soldier is
alive, the proposed war insurance act
provides for definite compensation for
his dependents in case of death, for
definite and adequate indemnities In
case of total or partial disability and
for re-education of the MANNED and
disabled man, so that he may take up
a new occupation and make himself &
useful member of society. We must
restore their efficiency and adjust their
still available faculties and functions
TO suitable trades and yocations, which
the injuries of the battletields have not
wholly destroyed.
The heavy depletions in man power
resulting from this conflict, which is
without precedent in history or imagi-
nation, will place new and greater val
ues upon all forms and degrees of
human energy and demand as q first
duty of intelligent government that
every remaining useful sense and limb
of the blind aud crippled shall be re-
claimed under tne benevolent processes
of education and reapplied to economic
uses for the benefit of society.
The millions we shall be called upon
to spend TO support the dependents of
the soldiers while they are in the fight
ing line, for indemnities and for re-
education of the crippled are in the last
ANALYSIS investments of the best sort;
they are sums of capital advanced by
the nation TO promote utility, self re-
spect and economic development. More
than all, they are essentially humani-
tartan and in the highest sense dis
charge by the government OF an essen
tial duty to society.
We are proposing To e1pend during
the next year more than $4,000 Co.,
600 TO create and maintain the ueces-
sary lighting forces to re-establish jus
tice in the world. But justice must
begin at home. Justice must be done
to the men who die and suffer for us
on the battlefields and for their wives
and children and dependents who sac
rifice for US at home To do justice TO
them requires only title of the money
we are expending for the general OBJ
jects of the war. Let it not be said
that noble America was ignoble in the
treatment of her soldiers and sailors
and callous TO the fate of their depend
ents in this greatest war of all time.
The pending war insurance bill gives
compensation, not pensions. 1t fixes
amounts definitely in advance instead
of holding out the mere chance Of gra-
tuities after the conclusion of peace 1t
saves the dependents from want and
gives them the necessaries of life while
their men are at the front 1t deals
with it's heroes literally for the suffer
ings that result from their disablement
on the field of battle, and if they die 1t
makes just provision for the loved ones
who survive them 1t fosters the help
less and dependent, the manned and
disabled, and recognizes the immensely
of the nations debt to the valor and
patriotism Of her heroic sons.

tails connected with procuring sup
plies, the disposal of troops and their
care.
All these preliminary arrangements
must be made by an officer Of the quar-
termaster corps. The first thing TO be
done is to procure lists with weight

and officers, constitutes a basis on
which he estimates the number and

the cars and provides loading facilities,
such as material for blocking and LASH

Next, on the arrival of the cars, he
inspects them from a thousand major

INSURANCE FOR

Families Of Our Defenders Must
Be Protected Against Want.
JUST GOVERNMENTS DUTY

War Insurance Sill Gives compensa-
tion, Not Pensions-Fixes Amount
Definitely In Advance Instead of
Holding Out Mere Chance of Gratui-
ties After Peace Is Concluded
BY w. C. M'ADoo, Secretary of the
Treasury.
The purpose of the war insurance bill
now pending III the congress is to Sc
cure the future of Americas soldiers
and sailors by insuring their lives and
providing adequate compensations and
indemnities for loss of life and total
or partial permanent disability; also to
protect their families against poverty
and want by providing them with suf-
ticient means of support during the alb
sence of the men at the front
The nation. having been forced to re
sort to the draft III order to create
quickly an army to save the country, is
under a higher obligation to do these
things for its lighting forces than il a
volunteer army only was created This
great and rich republic cannot afford TO
do less. and it must do what is pro
posed in a spirit of gratitude and not
as charity. Every soldier and sailor
who serves his country in this war will
earn everything the proposed war In
surance bin provides TO be a beneti-
ciary of the proposed law will be a
badge of honor
When we draft the wage Garner we
call not only him, but the entire family
TO the flag: the sacrifice entailed is not
divisible The wife and children, the
mother, the father are all involved in
the sacrifce-they directly share the
burden of defense. They suffer just as
much as the soldier, but in q different
way, and the nation must generously
discharge as a proud privilege the duty
of maintaining them until the soldiers
and sailors return from the war and re-
sumo the responsibility.
We have drawn the sword TO vindi-
cate Americas violated rights, to re-
store peace and justice and to secure
the progress Of civilization. We cannot
permit our soldiers, while they hold the
front, to be stabbed IN the back by un-
certainty as 10 what is being done for
their loved ones at home. Our tomor-
rows are in their hands-theirs in ours
