SOLONS OPPOSE
INSURANCE FOR
u. S. SOLDIERS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Congres-
sional opposition to the government s
plan for insuring the lives of soldiers
and sailors because it would upset the
pension system showed itself today at
a hearing before the house commerce
committee where the administration
insurance bill was discussed.
Chairman Adamson predicted oppo-
sition to it. He said he had been
warned by pension system advocate
that the new plan would upset pen
sions for a hundred years Represen-
tative Montague, of Virginia, another
members OF the committee also pre-
dcted opposition
Secretary McAdoo, Samuel Comp
ers, president of the federation Of
American labor, and Judge Julian
Mack of Chicago, who drafted the in
surance bill denounced the pension
system and declared that one Of the
primary purposes of the insurance
measure was to forever wipe it out of
existence.
Men in the army and navy are en-
ployes of the United States and should
be compensated as such," Mr.. Gompers
declared

Rain NEEDED
TO SAVE CORN

Wayne county's corn crop may be
cut in half if the fields do not get a
drenching rain within week.
Corn over most of the country Is
already beginning to fire at the base
of the stalks, and the leaves are be-
ginning to curl A rain right now
would prevent serious damage, but 1T
must come soon.
Most corn is now in a critical stage
of growth, with the tassels out and
the ears just beginning to form. A
lack of rain can do tremendous dam
age.
Rains Are Purely Local.
The northern part of the county,
from Easthaven on the west to Web
ster on the north and Chester on the
east enjoyed good rain Thursday
evening but it was local.
Little local showers have occurred
over the county, but no general rain
has fallen for a month or more.
Those parts Of the county that are
rolling, and those with sandy or clay
soil are suffering the worst. Where
farmers had time to cultivate their
fields during harvest, the corn is
standing the drouth better, but In
very few cases was this done.
Late potatoes, young clover and
timothy sown in oats and wheat fields
and pasture land, also, are feeling the
drought, but not so much as the corn
crop.

REVOLT DIES;
SPAIN QUIET

PARIS, Aug. IA dispatch from
Madrid to The Associated Press says
that news from all Spain is that ev-
erything is becoming normal. 1t was
necessary to use cannon against the
barricade made by strikers at Sabadell
near Barcelona, resulting in the de-
molishing Of four houses and the kill
Ing and wounding of several strikers.
Two soldiers were killed and ten
wounded.
All prisoners in the Madrid jail tried
to escape. A struggle with soldiers
occurred wherein there were a num-
Der killed and wounded on each side.
1t is said that revolutionists through
out Spain are plotting with prisoners
for their escape, taking advantage Of
the disturbances.
Madrid has become more animated.
Some vehicles and tramways are cir
culating. A dispatch to the Havas
Agency received here says the impris-
oned strikers did not join in the prison
nutiny. They are occupying separate
quarters. The mutiny occurred at a
moment when families were allowed
to visit the Jail.

lows:
I'm pursuance with a foregoing
ruling the board passed a motion
which will not exempt married men
who have no children TO support,

each particular case, believing that
a dependent wife can obtain some

will be sufficient to sustain her.
However, the list Of such per-
sons is published and will not be
certified to the District Board, until
after the expiration of five days.
If at the end of five days there is
no further evidence submitted to
the board which will tend to modify
or change the decision in any par
ticular case, the board will con-
slider that the decision of the board
is just and that the dependent wife
will not become a public charge
''In the case Of married men with
children as dependents the dis
charge will In most cases be grant
ed and each case will be personally
investigated by the governments

formation obtained in regard to
each case to the district board for
