GOVT. TO INSURE
 ITS OWN SOLDIERS
Insurance Men, by Large Major-
 ity, Endorse Project

Washington, D. C., July 3.-Issu- ance by the government itself of the insurance that is to be given to every man in the country's forces was approved late yesterday by more than @ hundred prominent insurance com pany officials in conference at the treasury department. Legislation to carry such a scheme into effect will be asked of congress at this session by the administration.
 Creation of a bureau of service in- surance, or extension of the present war risk bureau to undertake the work, probably will be proposed. The details will be worked out by a committee of insurance men, CO., operating with William G. McAdoo. secretary of the treasury, and officials of the war, navy and commerce de- partments. and of the Council of National Defense.
 The insurance officials, who came to the treasury at MT. McAdoo's invita- tion, voted 103 to A. in favor of hav- ing the government act as it's own insurance company. They told the secretary that they have to charge heavy rates for war insurance and that they are not eager to handle this business as they have no precedent figures upon which to compute risks
 Many of the companies represent ed offered the use of their machinery for handling the governme insur- ance business and the services of their experts in the guidance of govern mental activities. Most of them suggested that the government should guarantee a limited indemnity and permit individuals in the service to carry further insurance in private companies without limitations
 It is probable that the bill provid- ing for establishment of federal in- surance will ask for a system com- para ble to the present workmen's s compensation law. It was pointed out by Captain s. H. Wolfe, repre- senting the navy at the conference, that the governments industrial compensation system could be broad ened easily to apply to war service.
 The scheme recently advanced by MT. Sweet, assistant secretary of the commerce department, was discussed Under this scheme. which is being considered by the Council of National Defense, the government would as- sume a death liability of s4,OoO and also provide compensation for in- juries.
 Insurance men pointed out that es- tablishment of maximum benefits would be fraught with many compli- cations and asserted that the numb Der and age of beneficiaries should be an important factor. Only one com- pany gave the secretary a definite offer privately to handle the insur- ance for the government. It stipu- lated rate of $5S per $1OOO

UNIFORM 0F SERVICE WELCOME TO WOMEN
Badge Of Seryitude No Longer
 Looked Down Upon

Correspondence of the Associated Prsss.)
 London, June 25.-There has never been a time when women were more willing to accept standard dress or uniform than they are at present.
 That is the most marked effect of the war upon women's dress. All uniforms have acquired dignity in women's eyes. The housemaid does not object to the cap and apron badge of servitude, the worker in the bank dons an overall cheerfully, women in various organizations wear their khaki. the Red Cross and volun- teer aid workers are proud of their uniforms.
 An expert French designer dis cussing these changes, says:
 There always will be the women who want fripperies, the women who try to insist upon something quite different from the style of the mo- ment but nowadays their number is greatly diminished. The uniform idea has arrived. It may mean the total extinction of dressmaking as a ere ative art, but there will be develop ments on other lines.
 There has never been a great war which has not influenced fashion in a picturesque or even gruesome fashion, and this world war has done it's share. We had a fashion adapted as a compliment to each ally, the Russian caps and tunics, the Bersag- lieri hats of the Italian soldiers, and the Serbian colors. Scotch plaids have given the Parisiennes great joy.
 Khaki shades are in vogue for spring and summer costumes and the blue-gray, with touches of crimson, of the French uniforms is seen here and there."

DID COMPANY GIVE
 BACK PAY TO MEN?
Machinists Reported to Have Re-
 CeiVed Wages From June 16

According to rumorS that are afoat, vouched for by local persons instru- mental in bringing them to this city, secret service agents reported here for investigation of working conditions at the New Britain Machine company, relative to operating oversight hours a day, ordered the company to pay to the men the required time ana a half covering a period since June 5 up to last Saturday.
 1t is a generally known fact that all employees of the government are gov erned by the eight hour law, and when it became known that the local com pany had received orders for govern ment work local persons who are closely following all moves of the manufacturers, believed that the law was being violated by ten, hours work without the allotted overtime wages being forthcoming. Hence, a tele- gram to Washington. ID. C., where the facts were barred, and the agents were here in d very few days after it's re- ception. The four agents. it is said, secured employment at the Machine company where they acquainted them selves with conditions before any for mai complaint was made to headQuar-
 
 ters.
 It is also reported that steps are be- ing taken to put an end to practice reported in vogue here for several years, but much more in evidence since the strike troubles of two years ago, whereby an employe who brings down the wrath of the company off, cials is barred from working in any other local shop. One of the leading union men of this city says he is in & position to furnish positive informa- tion to the government should action be commenced, he having been vic- tim of the malicious rule of the man. ufa cturers, following his joining with the strikers in the labor troubles. He has succeeded in securing position and is working every day despite what he claims was a recent effort made to have his employer discharge him.

KERENSKY AT HEAD
 OF RUSSIAN ATTACK
Minister of War in Person Leads Troops in Offensive Against
 Foo in Galicia.

Petrograd, July 3.-The brilliant Russian advance, the news of which has sent a wave of rejoicing through the entire country, was led by War Minister Kerensky in person.
 For four days the war minister had been continuously at the front, spending every effort to urge the troops to advance. He finally rode to the front line trenches and. placing himself at the head of the troops gave the order to advance.
 The spectacle of the popular war minister on the firing line accom- plished what oratory had failed to do, and the Russian line swept for. ward into the German trenches.
 The commander of the armies on the western front has issued an or der of the day reading:
 Our army on the southwestern front has vanquished the enemy and broken his lines. A decisive battle has begun on which depends the fate of the liberty of the Russian people. Our brothers on the southwestern front are advancing victoriously. They expect assistance from us We shall not be traitors the enemy shall hear the. thunder of our guns"

WILL OF HEAVEN
 AND WORK OF MANI
So Says Count Terauchi Concern ing Jap and British Relations

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
 Tokio. June 21.-"The Anglo-Jap- anese alliance is the will of Heaven as well as the work of man." was the epigrammatic phrase in a message which Premier Count Terauchi re-. centiy issued on the subject of the re- lations between Japan and Great Britain With Viscount Ichiro Mo- tono, Japan's Foreign Minister, and others, Count Terauchi sent a com munication to The New East" a monthly. review published by British residents at Tokio.
 The official Japanese contributors emphasize their desire to make the Anglo-Japanese alliance a permanent agreement. Count Terauchi said that the alliance was the neutral outcome of the sincere desire of the high con- tracing parties to guarantee per manently the peace of the East. "1ts indisputable benefits in the past are already clear" he wrote. And he added: Ut is destined to play even a greater part in the future. The in- terests of Great Britain and Japan have never confiicted and never will conflict"
 Viscount Motono revealed several aspects of the history of the alliance.
 We must admit" he said. that had it not been for our British al- liance we should have encountered the greatest difficulties in the prosecu- ton of our war with Russia. During that war Great Britain did us ines timable services, still little known to the general public. Great Britain probably would not have been able to she Si0naI with Russia had it not been for her Japanese alliance. cannot say whether the authors of the Anglo- Japanese alliance had in mind the possibility of a general confagration between the great European power when they signed the treaty. But the fact remains that at the present moment the alliance is playing most important part in the great war.
 The Minister was firm in the opin- ion that the alliance would last long after the war. From Japan's point of view the maintenance ot the pal ance of power in the Far East was absolutely necessary. Japan ana Great Britain, he wrote. nao lm- mense common interests in Asia that must be protected. Whatever con- tingencies the future might have III store. the close unity of Japan and Great Britain was, in the ministers opinion, an indispensable condition for the maintenance ot order ad neace in the Far East; as much as for the effective protection of Ja- nan's rights and interests. He con- cluded
 "As long as Japan and Great Brit ain are united by a true and loyal alliance we need have no fears Tor the future"

 Shooting Startles Spectators.
 Private Julius Lorynec Is under arrest and confined to the guard house on charges arising out of the promiscuous shooting of rifle in Central Park at 6 o'clock last night. Pedestrians were suddenly startled at that hour by the loud report of a high powered rifle, followed by sev- eral other shots. It is alleged that Private Lorynec, stationed in Central Park was showing @ new recruit how a rifle works and was shooting the weapon over the top of B. c. Porter Sons store. Sergeant Veley placed Private Lorynec under arrest. When it is considered that the 80 calibre bullets used in the Springfield rifles will kill at t'2ree miles, something of the danger If wanton shooting can be understood.
 Quite a large crowd of citizens gathered on Main street at 6:3O o'clock last night to witness the Ire treat" exercises in connection with the lowering of the colors Several squads of soldiers, three squads with rifles, were lined up by Sergeant kel- ley in front of the Soldiers and Sail- ors' Monument and then, in charge of Second Lieutenant Robert V. K. Har- ris, stood at salute as the colors were lowered by Sergeant Wilbert Veley. During this exercise Bugler Gregory played ito the colors."

CRISIS IN SPAIN
 GROWS ALARMING
CenS0r'S StriCtneSS Ar0uSeS SuS-
 piCi0n Of Paris Editors

Paris, July 3.-The situation in
 Spain appears to be growing worse.
 The gravity of. the crisis is con-
 firmed amply by such news as reaches
 Paris. The Madrid correspondent of
 the Petit Parisien, telegraphing Sun
 day, says that the suspension of con-
 stitutiopal guarantees by the gov
 ernr1ent has not removed the unrest
 in Spain. The fact that the heavily
 censored Spanish press publishes
 nothing concerning the internal situa- r ton seems to indicate that conditions
 are far from normal
 Great importance is attached in
 political circles to two facts: First,
 that the king and queen cancelled an
 engagement to attend a polo game;
 second, that special cabinet meeting
 was held, at the conclusion of which
 Premier Dato went to the palace and
 had a long conference with the king.
 These circumstance have given rise to
 all sorts of comment, many persons seeing in them proof that the govern
 ment had received serious news, but l nothing so far has confirmed this view.
 B. Orlsto Salmeron Garcia, presi- dent of the short lived Spanish re- public, who has just arrived from Spain, also takes a serious view of the situation there. In a statement pub
 lished in the Petit Parisien he says he
 is convinced Spain is on the verge of
 important events.
 Causes of DisaffectiOn There are three causes of discon- tent-the dissa tisfaction of the army the dissatisfa ction of the democratic parties and the unrest of the masses brought about by the increased cost of living. Senor Salmeron says that if these three causes, of different origin, should produce effects at the same time events which would surprise the
 world would be likely to occur. The
 army officers, although they have ob- tained partial satisfaction, do not trust the promises of the govern
 ment and so long as their profess sional interests are safeguarded their cooperation with the parties of the
 Extreme Left appears possible. The grievance of the democratic parties is the attitude of the government toward Germany. As for the masses,
 the laboring people are in such a state of effervescence that a general strike is imminent, and while work ing for purely economic ends, the labor leaders would have no objection to exploitation by the democratic parties of a political movement for their own purposes. The democratic bloc, which comprises the socialists
 repu blicans and reformists, according ly Is watching developments of all
 elements of the crisis which are mani
 festing themselves throughout the country, being in readiness to strengthen any movements which
 might help it toward the object in view.
 1. Another grave factor in the situa- tion is the split in the Liberal party, which is now an accomplished fact.
 Marquis Prieto, who lately relin- quished the premiership, and his par tisans have seeded from the Roman ones section of the party
