BIC SUCCESS is
seen HERE FOR
WAR INSURANCE

New York, Nov. 1.-THE avidity
with which soldiers and sailors are
taking advantage Of the provisions of
the war insurance bill Is a sure i1ldi-
cation of its success, James d. Craig.
president OF the Casualty Actur1aI
and Statistical Society of America,
declared yesterday in his annual ad-
dress before the society which is con-
vening at Hotel Astor. Mr. Craig, an
actuary Of the metropolitan Life, was
one Of the five insurance experts who
assisted the government in drafting
the bill.
The Importance and inddspensa-
bility of insurance have been recog-
nized by the government said Mr.
Craig. TT has been placed on the
same basis with equipment, clothing
and food / We may conscript a. mans
resources and take him away from
his home and family, but his ins11ra-
bility must not be destroyed We can
feel Justly proud in these strenuous
days when government officials are
constrained to consider insurance as
essential as arms and ammunition .
x The insurance measure, Mr. Craig
explained, names SIC, 900 as a n1ad-
mum for a soldier, and It was esti-
mated In washington the majority of
soldiers would take about 500 insur-
ance.
but, be added, II read a recent
despatch from Camp Mills which stat
Of the men who have thus far applied
for war insurance ha asked virtual
1y without exception for the maxi
mum amount"
Mr.. Craig estimated that 80, zoo, 00O,-
900 In fnsurace probably would be
taken out II the war lasts until two
years from last April To give his
audience an idea of what this means
he added that the total Of civil poll
cies now in effect throughout the
country was around $25, 900, 900 900.
The sole criticism of the bill that
MIR. Craig offered was that It invested
too much power In the Director of the
Secretary Of the Treasury, as com
pared with the many restrictions
placed upon insurance companies
The power Of one or two individ-
ua1s is apparent" he said, when It is
considered that an army Of 1000. 900
men insured for $40, 900 each makes
an aggregate Of sc, GOO, oo0, 900, three
fourths of the total insurance, now in
force throughout the entire country"

eton p. Merrill vas elected chairman
pro tenn and introduced Mr., Helmas OF
Boston, one of the wide awake work
ers for the Red Cross In very
interesting manner the speaker set
forth the needs Of this organization,
pointing out that their work was not
only connected with military but also
with civil life. In connection with
It's help in time of war he grouped
first aid, home nursing, sanitary train
Ing, ambulance corps work and base
hospitals Showing the need of the
Red Cross in civil life Mr.. Helmas
stated that such an organization is
imperative in time of food, pestilence
and the like, things which give little
concern until they occur and are then
Of great importance to the we'll be-
ing of our country.
According to the speaker the Red
Cross is divided into 13 districts, Bos-
ton being headquarters for all New
England states except Connecticut.
Their work is of great importance
both in times of war and times of
peace, said Mr. Helmas, and it is up
to all of us as true Americans to do
our bit toward the upbuilding of the
Red Cross Society. Following this
discourse Mr.. Merrill appointed a

v ALTER GRAY TRIES
FOR EASY MONEY
Portland Man Goes on Soliciting Tour
In Madison and Gets the Coin

Walter Gray of Portland apparently
believes in the old saying that only
fools and horses work. OF course he
is doing time at the County bastile for
his misdeeds but that's neither here
nor there.
1t all happened in Madison, one of
Somerset's we'll knoWn towns, situat-
ed twelve miles from Skowhegan as
the crow flies. Walter went to Madi-
son and started to play a most pc
culiar game and he was getting away
with it in fine shape until a Madison
official became suspicious and called
him to account.
Gray made house to house canvas
in other words he covered his terri
tory thoroly At each and every
house, as general rule, some kind
hearted lady responded to his knock
on the door and he spilled his story.
1t was to the effect that he was slow
ly dying with cancer and please would
they help him that he might get medi-
cal treatment Yes they would most
certainly For hadn't he shown the
cancerous growth on his arm? What
more proof was needed and so the
money was handed over in sums rang
ing from a dime to dollar. Walter
was having the time of his life. All
he had to do was to show that sore
on his arm and sympathy did the rest.
For one entire forenoon he kept up
his canvas and added wealth to his
larder at each visit. But finally the
strong arm of the law reached in and
the man was taken to a physician to
find out whether or not the sore Was
a cancer Was it? Oh, no, it was
merely Il flesh wound which was be-
ing kept in a non compOs mentis con-
dtion by some application made to it
by Walter
His game was discovered and at
present he is doubtless displaying that
horrid cancer to his fellow inmates
at the red brick structure on High
street.
