AMATEUR RADIO
 STATIONS HERE
 WILL BE CLOSED
Some of Plants Likely to Be Taken Over for Special
 Service.

Amateur wireess stations in Bridge port, in common with all others throughout the country, will be closed by the government as soon as war Is declared Commercial stations will be taken over and conducted by the gov ernment. The future of amateur sta- tions will be decided subsequently, when useful service may be found for some of the amateur radio men to do.
 The stations now are under the control of the department of com merce. It is probably that in war time they will be controlled by the navy department. The amateur sta tions will probably be used as ob- servatory stations for the navy and to assist in the detection of possible hostile raidio stations, Those not thus used by the government will be sealed up for the term of the war.

for submission to congress.
This legislation will be passed b,
the present session of congress.
1t does away with the old Civil wal
fpension system altogether.
1t will be administered by the Uni
ted States treasury department
1t provides:
Some Things 1t Provides
For the support of dependents OF
soldiers and sailors by an allotment
from the mems pay and an allowance
from the government.
That officers and men be indemni-
fed against death, total or partial dis
ability.
That a government system of re-
Mobilization and reeducation of dis
abled men by inaugurated, and:
That the government issue insurance
up to $4,000 on the life of every SOL
der or sailor applying for it and pay
ing the peace time premium thereon.
This is the first time in history the
United States has employed any fore
handed method of caring for its fight
ing men about to go to war.
VIII Take Care of Men
The government feels it's duty to
provide ample protection for enlisted
men and their dependents, it was
pointed out today, because the men
are taken by draft
Payment on account of soldiers or
sailors killed in action will be based
on the number of dependents he
leaves.
The family allowance will be grant
ed by the government to care for each
dependent. 1t will be given only if
the soldier or sailor makes an allot-
ment of part of his pay to his family
The amount to be paid for mans
death will be based on the mans serv-
ices, the size of his family and the
degree of loss to his family by his
death.
Cheap Insurance Too
Partial disability will be compen-
stated for along the same lines. All

" by the government.
Under the insurance SYSTEM use of |
which is optional, the government will |
)ay all the war excess premiums on

10000 just as cheap to him as it |
would be in peace times.
The government also will establish |

men to fit them as far as possible for
ives of usefulness either in their for
ner or in other vocations They will

worth while, anyway?

worth Wnllo, anyway!
If some one were taking as mucl
lfoodstuff as goes into booze ant
dumping it into the sea, what woult
the people of the nation say?
If some one should advance the
argument that this was necessary IL
order to appease certain people who
believed in dumping foodstuffs into
the sea, and that if they did not do i
| it would arouse riots, would we ac-
cede to their requests?
| If some learned senator, speaking
as if the Almighty had delegated him
| to supreme wisdom, and in tone
| indicating that such wisdom would
perish from the floor when he re-
tired to the cloakroom, should SC
claim, would we be sufficiently i'm
pressed?
Should not hereafter all bulletins
issued requesting the people to con-
serve the food supply urge them also
for the interest of public peace, to
have all the foodstuff they could
made into beer?
Is it reasonable to ask the tenn
perance people of the country to con-
serve and save every particle of food
and at the same time permit some
of it to go into booze?
Is beer more ESSENTIAL to the Amer
lean people than bread?
What kind of people are they in
this country who are not willing to
give up their liquor to help the coun-
try?
Is the food conservation to be for
the benefit Of the many, or Is is to be
limited in order that the few may
have their drinks?
Have we reached a point in this
country where the war cannot be won
unless the people who drink are per-
mitted to tickle their stomachs with
wines and beer?
Will beer-patriots win the war,
anyhow?
Are the interests of brewers in this
country more important than the
winning of the war?
Are we willing to sacrifice every
hing in the country to win the war
except beer?
IT the temperance forces in the
enate were responsible for delaying
he food bill, as charged by certain
iquor-interest papers, why is it that
he food bill has been delayed for |
hree weeks after the temperance
ections Of the bill were settled?
With the great demand for labor |
n this country and the high wages,
ould there ever be better time, as
ar as the laboring men are con-
erned, for the transition from a wet
D a dry nation?
When there is a shortage of labor
l the important and necessary work
, carry on the war, why waste labor
l making booze?
If booze is essential to win the war,
ny stop selling 1t to soldiers?
