KAISER FACES CRISIS
THAT ROCKS EMPIRE

pressve On its heels arrives the of demands made
by the leaders of the Berlin strike demands of such revo
utonary character that compliance with them would
mean prompt ending to the mtarist regime in the Ger
man empire.
Similar demands have not been voiced publicly in Ger
many since the imprisonment of Dr. Karl Liebknecht on
charge of treason. 1t is significant that they include
requson for the release of all political prisoners which
would include of course the noted Socialist leader.
The exact status of the strike movement in Germany
unknown but 1t is certain that very considerable portion
of the munton workers have been affected There are
ports OF strike at Essen and Magdeburg the site
of important branch of the great Krupp establishments
Indication OF the seriousness OF the situation is afforded by
the fact that Field Marshal Won Hndenbur has considered
1t necessary to make personal appeal the workers in
which he denounces strikes inexcusabe crimes against
the fighting forces.

SENATE LEADERS TO
PUSH DRAFT BILL
CONTINUED From First Parc1

with the strategic plan of the Presi-
dent to have the Senate pass the
measure promptly as Il lesson to the
slackers in the House.
The bill goes to the Senate with
seven of the seventeen members of
the Military Committee in favor of a
call for volunteers instead of the pro-
posal of the bill to raise the war army
by a selective draft.
There is certain to be several days
of debate. No effort Is expected on
the part of the opponents of the draft
to delay vote, but many senator's
who favor the bill want to discuss it
before they vote. Lines have not been
drawn definitely, but friends of the

Senator Chamberlain expects to
keep the bill before the Senate until

contemplated to hold unusually long
sessions or to attempt to sit continu-

densely wooded plateau which held

against these three German strong

British front. That General Haig is
preparing for another tremendous

French Press On

In the meantime General Nivelle
maintains his unrelentng pres

most vital points of his defenses, the
sharp angle at which the German
line. running south from Lens. turns
east toward Rheims. This angle has
already been crushed into an appre-
ciabie extent and is in imminent dan
ger of being entirely shattered. The
heavy toll of prisoners taken by the
French mounts steadily day by day,
giving strong support to the claims
made in London and Paris of the de-
terioration of the German morale.
Three great obstacles stand in the
path of General Nivelle. The first is

German guns have poured their shells

Conserving Human Life

Human life is precious. If man is injured
in factory, he is not the only sufferer. The
owners of the factory, his family, the city, and
the long run Of the whole country is injured to
greater or less degree, for even if the injured
workman is compensated for his injury and the
loss Of time, the factory suffered a loss in his
absence from the bench, his income has been re-
duced entailing loss to his family, the merchant,
the city and the state.
In a broader sense this also applies to the
death Of person from a preventable disease.
Every illness that could have been prevented is a
direct charge against the whole community.
Even if we escape illness in an epidemic Of typ
hold fever, we are paying the price for the con-
ditons that permitted the disease. The wrong
living of thousands in the United States costs all
of us money Life insurance companies are be-
ginning to realize that their sphere of activity in
cludes an effort to cut down the excessive life
waste in the United States.
William A. Day, president Of the Equitable
Life Assurance company Of New York in an ad-
dress before the tenth annual meeting of the As
ISOLATION of Life Insurance Presidents said:
Should we not, for example, be more keenly
concerned in the remedy for excessive life waste
that is going on in this country? Does not our
mission and place in the nations life justify us
in undertaking to conserve the lives of the in
sured and in searching for some consistent way
to forward the public health movement? This
is not only an altruistic and patriotic purpose but
it is directly related to the reduction of the cost Of
insurance. The health conservation ideal is gain
ing supporters, but not as fast as it should. The
preservation of human life is the primary duty
of civilization and we should do our part in it.
We throw safeguards around money and prop
erty but as whole are reckless with life and
limb. Judged by monetary standpoint it will
pay all Of us to help check the waste Of life in our
country.
