Soldiers and Sailors Not Objects Of
Charity.

One reason I have been so anxious
to see this great measure made law
now is this: Every man who goes
into the service of his country is en-
titled to know in advance what his
country is going to co for him in all
possible contingencies. Heretofore
in all of our wars our soldiers have
been sent to the front with pay aver
aging not more than SIS a month. It
is now $50. No soldier had the as
surance that his dependent wife and
children or relatives would be sup
ported while he was away. There
was no certainty that if he lost his
life they were going to be provided
for by the government and he had no
assurance that if he returned crippled
or disabled he was going to have a
specific sum paid him.
We have heretofore relied upon
pension bills. Why should any SOL
der be put in the position of having
to accept gratuity from his govern
ment when he is entitled, for the most
splendid service that any patriot Can
perform for his country, not to char
ity nor to pension nor to a gratuity
as the result of friendly interest in
congress, some men getting more If
they have pull. some other men less
who have not pull, but to know now
as part of the consideration for his
service, just what he is going to re-
ceive from just and generous people
when he goes away to fight? He is
entitled to know in advance that he
will not have to beg for relief when
he gets home.
That is what this bill provides for
you men. All will be in a position
to get the benefits of this act. No
man gets more than another; the
democratic principle is carried
through from beginning to end.
Every man who wears the uniform of
his country is put upon an equality.
and each man gets precisely the same
benefits. OF course, he must exercise
the privilege of taking the insurance
within four months aftef entering the
army or navy. If you do not take 1t
within that time you lose it. All the
other benefits of the act are retained.
such as the support Of dependents,
the definite compensation in the
event of death and the definite COM
pensation in the event of partial or
total disability, and the re-education
to any employment if you are injured
in such way that you cannot resume
the trade in which you were engaged
when you came into the war.
The only thing you have to act
upon within four months after you
enter the army is the question of life
insurance and you must determine
now what you want. You don't have
to take $4,000. You can take what
you like up to $4,000.

In Case OF Death.

In addition, IL the man is killed
and he has a wife and children, the
government will provide compensa-
ton for the wife so long as she re-
mains unmarried, and support for
the children until they become IS
years of age. These payments range
from $25 for widow alone to $3.50
for a widow and two children.
If the man is partially disabled the
government will make fixed month
ly payment to him ranging from $50
a month, If he is unmarried, to $75 q
month IL he has a wife and three or
more children. Should he be so help
less as to require a nurse or attend
ant he will be given up to $50 addi-
tional. Should he lose both feet,

manently bedridden, he will be paid
800 a month whether he is bache-
lor or married.
If man is injured in such a way
that he cannot resume the occupation

eminent of the United States, at its

he will be capable and which will en-
able him to spend the remainder Of
his life in useful work, helpful to
himself and contributing to his own
happiness. That is very important
provision.

disabled man to a new occupation and
he earns money, no matter how
much, because of his new occupation
and because of his own effort, the

WHAT THE WAR INSURANCE BILL
AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT BY SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
WILLIAM G. MADOO ON THE MEASURE RECENTLY
ENACTED BY CONGRESS-

In addressing the soldiers at Camp
I Lewis, American Lake, the other day,
Secretary of the Treasury William G..
McAdoo, who proposed and will ad-
minister the war insurance bill re-
Gently enacted by congress, explained
its most important features. That
portion of his address, which is of
great interest to every United States
soldier and sailor, all others of mill
tary age, and their relatives, is as
follows:
want to refer to another question
which is of paramount Importance to
the soldier. That is the new soldiers
and sailors insurance bill which /
had the honor to propose to the con-
gress, with the approval of the presi-
dent, and which has just been enact
ed into law.
1t is credit to the congress of the
United States that this great meas
ure, the most constructive and gen.
erous provision ever made for the
soldiers and sailors of any nation on
earth, was passed in both houses by
unanimous vote. Every member
present in each house upon the final
roll call registered his name in favor
of this just measure for America
heroes, and the president has ap-
proved it. The duty devolves upon
the secretary of the treasury to ad-
minister that law and to see that the
soldiers and sailors get the benefit of
it and promise you that I am going
to see that you do get the benefit
of it.
Provisions of Law.
What does it provide? First of all
that in this war the wife and the
loved children of any man who wears
the uniform of his country, be he in
the army or in the navy, shall not be
dependent, as heretofore, upon the
charity of the communities in which
they live, nor shall they be required
to turn to some relative or friend for
their support.
In the case of an enlisted man who
has wife and children or a wife
alone, he is, under this law, Obliged
to set aside one-half his pay-that
will be SIS a month for the private
in the army while serving in this
country and $3.50 while serving
abroad--to support his wife and chill
dren The government will imme-
diately, upon his doing that, give his
wife, il he has a wife alone, SIS per
month. II he has children in addi-
ton he will not be required to pay
more than half of his pay to his wife.
If he has wife and one child the
government will pay them $25 a
month; II a wife and two children,
the government will pay $3.50 and
will give IS for each additional child
while the husband is serving in the
army. Allowances are also provided
for dependents other than the wife
and children.
There never has been SO humane,
so just and so generous a measure
enacted before by any peopl. 1t is
the first time within the history Of
our country that an actual provision
in advance has been made for the
support of the dependents Of the man
who either volunteers his services or
is selected by his government to fight
in the army or navy Of the United
States.

Little pitchers have big ears
suppose there are few English
speaking people who do not know
that proverb.
And almost as few who give 1t any
but the conventional interpretation.
Little pitchers have big ears
therefore we should be careful what
they overhear. That is the familiar
interpretation.
Here is another. Little pitchers
have big ears,-therefore they can
absorb a lot of useful information If
you will give them the chance.

His manner gave me an idea. Why

give the confirmed movie fans a
new idea of the possibilities of motion

picture has no appeal.
Such scenes as 1.-The Barrier" de-
picts have never before been seen in
film dramas. They are unique in con-

Big, dramatic moments follow one

The fights are real fights. That ter

on the desolate banks of the Yukon
River is a classic. Nothing like 1T was

1t stands today, and doubtless will
stand for a long time to come, as the
most desperate and spectacular fight
between two men ever filmed.
Even the love scenes of 'The Bar
