GOVERNMENT
May INSURE
ITS SOLDIERS
Insurance Experts Recon-
mend that Uncle Sam
Carry War Risks
OFFER AID IN
HANDLING BUSINESS
President Eager for Quick
Action on Indemnity
Plan

Washington, July 3.-Issuance by
the government itself of the insur-
ance that is to be given to every man
in the country's fighting forces, was
approved yesterday by more than q
hundred prominent insurance COM
pany officials In conference at the
treasury department. Legislation to
carry such a plan 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 COM
ing with Secretary McAdoo and Of
ficials of the war, navy and COM
merce departments and of the coun-
ell of national defense. =
The insurance officials who came
to the treasury at Mr.. McAdoo's in
vitation voted 1913 to 4 in favor of
having the government act as its
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 prece-
dent figures upon which to compute
risks.
Offer Their Services. -.
Many of the companies represented
offered the use of their machinery
for handling the governments in
surance business and the service Of
their experts in the guidance of gov
ernmental activities.
In opening the meeting the secre-
tary told the delegates that Presi-
dent Wilson is very eager that some
definite indemnity plan be worked
out quickly.
THE man that goes out to fight for
his country has a right to know what
we intend to do for him or for his
family" the secretary said. He
should not have to feel that his fam
lily will be dependent upon the char
ity of the public or its legislators.
"Our men will fight better If they
know that their families are to be
properly cared for, no matter what
happens. If the insurance companies
are not able to do it, it is up to the
government to do it"

Be INVOKED
ON FOOD BILL
Controversy Over Food
Control Reaches Acute
Stage in Senate
MANY PRODUCTS NOW
AFFECTED BY BILL
Fuel, Metals, Cotton, Hides,
Farm Implements

fRv Associated Press. }

Washington, July 3.-Controversy
in the senate over food control and
its prohibition feature reached such
an acute stage yesterday that formal
steps were taken by administration
leaders to limit debate and force q
final vote this week, by invoking. for
the first time the senate's new clo-
ture rule.
Within a half hour many more
than the necessary sixteen senators
signatures to a cloture motion were
secured.
Senator Chamberlain, in charge OF
the bill announced later that he
would offer the motion today and
ask for a vote on 1t Thursday. Its
adoption would require a two-thirds
vote and thereafter would limit each
senator's time upon the bill and all
amendments to one hour.
Many senators say that until the
prohibition question Is settled the
necessary two thirds vote necessary
for cloture cannot be secured. Others
point out, however that the vote on
shutting off debate at least will put
upon record those not in favor OF
expediting the bill as desired by the
president.
Move For cIoture.
The movement for the use OF the
cloture rule came after the senate
had adopted the section by a vote Of
AZ to Is. extending government con-
troll, in addition to food and fuels, to
iron and steel. cotton, wool. hides
and skins, lead, aluminium, fertiliz-
ers, farm implements, hemp and
other binding Irvine materials and
their products.
A furious skirmish on prohibition
occurred for half hour just before
the senate recessed. The "wets" and
"drys" clashed when Senator Pen
rose, opposing any attempt at clo-
ture suggested that prohibition's
friends had been delaying action
Senator Jones of Washington vehe-
mently denied the charge and as
serted that the delay has been caused
by prohibition opponents.
The dispute over prohibition was
opened anew by the action of the
agriculture committee in approving
to 5 an amendment by Senator
Gore proposing that manufacture OF
distilled spirits shall be prohibited
and the president given power to
suspend the making OF beer and
wines. The committee rejected the
so-called administration compro-
mise" plan of Senator Chamberlain,
limiting prohibition to distilled
beverages without any action re-
garding malt and vinous intoxicat-
ing liquors.
