"The bill is intended to meet those
essential and fundamental principles
of Justice which you have so much at
heart. Its main purpose is to grant
reasonable government indemnity
against the losses and risks incurred
in the discharge of patriotic duty
and in the performance of an extra
ordinarily hazardous service to which
the government has called and forced
the citizens 1t provides not only for
the man but for his family.
1T aims to accomplish these ends
by granting a reasonable measure of
indemnity against risk of loss: ID of

ability at ordinary rates.
THE risk of dependency, in the
case of an enlisted mans family is
Unidentified against by allotment of
part of the pay of the enlisted men,
supplemented by family allowance
granted and paid by the government .
This system, as explained, means
that the enlisted men shares with the
government in providing for the fl
nancial needs of his family. The
compulsory allotments from the en-
listed mans pay must equal the fam
lily allowance from the government.
with a minimum, however, of SIS

pay. There is a scale of allowances
determined by the size of the de-
pendent family, so that the monthly
family allowance ranges from IS to
$50. according TO the number of de-
pendents.
Secretary McAdoo illustrates the
working of the system in the follow
ing example: "A private gets $33 a
month for service abroad. If he has
a wife and two children he must al
lot to them at least SIS out of his
pay. The government supplements
this by giving the family an allowance
of $3.50. This family's minimum

Local playSoers will have their first
opportunity to see Sir John Hare, Eng
lands most celebrated character actor,
when Caste" the Greater Vitagraph
Blue Ribbon feature is presented at
the Republic Theatre tomorrow. Also
this marks the first and only time that
the actor.knight ever appeared before
a motion picture camera.
So long has Sir John played the part
of Eccles, the fun-loving old reprobate
in Caste" the character has become
one of the classics of the stage. and in
deciding to adapt the famous play to
the screen the Vitagraph company de.
termined to get him for the part. Sir
John, who ranks with Irving, Tree,
Barrett and the other great artists
who have made England's stage his
tory, was loathe at first to appear in
films. He had the same prejudice
against motion pictures that producers
have had to overcome whenever they
first suggested to great stars of the
legitimate stage that they pose for the
screen
However it was pointed out to Sir
John that he owed it to posteritY and
the stage to have his art perperuated
and he agreed to make the picture.
The result is that American audiences
now have for the first time to see one
of the greatest actors who ever lived.

"Clovers Rebellion, lin which Anita
Stewart is starred, tells bright and
entertaining story of today. Miss
Stewart plays Colver Dean. a beauti-
full orphan of great wealth. Clover
lives with her aunt and uncle. The
aunt, aiming to use Clover to further
her march to social glory, seeks to
force match with Duke Boris, a
royal schemer who needs money. The
uncle, to further business interests,
aims to make Glover marry the son of
millionaire coal dealer. The latter
is dissolute youth ruined by money,
but Clover's uncle sees only the per-
sonal gain coming of the match.
1t is in these money and society mad
circles that the simple hearted Glover
lives. although she does not really be-
gin to live until she chances to meet
young DIR. Billy Dunn. an irresponsi-
BILE, happy-go-lucky but altogether
honest young doctor. DE-. Billy has a
few patients but high hopes.
There is a strong element of mys-
terry in the romance, for the penniless
Duke Boris is killed under battling cir
cumstances. DIR. Billy and evenClover
come under Police suspicion, but in
the end it develops that the duke was
murdered by woman who feared the
loss of his love if his marriage to the
wealthy young woman came about.
Miss Stewart, of curse, plays
Clover and gives delightful perfor-
nance. Rudolph Cameron plays the
young doctor, Brinsley Shaw appears
as Duke Boris and William Dunn por-
trays the rich young rake whose suite

nent in the cast are Eulslie Jensen,

What the Navy is Doing.
(From the New York Times.

Secretary Daniels spoke encourag-
ing words at the ceremony on the
site of the governments armor plate
perfectly true that lin preparing for
o terrible war the navy is taking the
surest means TO bring about an early
and effective peace" Assurance from
Mr. Daniels that our navy is making
ready for a terrible war, therefore, is
most gratifying. Our navy. should be
thus prepared and should remain so
after the war. An unprepared navy is
of small account. A navy with half
it's ships lying in docks, "out of COM
mission" is no protection. The coun-
try understands now that all the war
ships and auxillaries are in commits
sion and we'll manned, that its equip
ment is not defective, that prepare
tons have been made for an unfail-
ing supply of ammunition. More than
this il does not care to know. Naval
plans and the movements of ships, ne
cessarily, are kept secret when the
nation is at war
Washington. however, has disclos-
ed the fact that naval vessels are con-
voying merchant ships on the Allan
tic and that the loss of ships thus con-
voyed has been very small. The Ger
man submarine has not been con-
Quered, it still is the worst menace
commerce has ever known, but its
ravages have been checked. The
threat that the Germans intend TO in
crease the fury of their submarine
campaign is therefore not so alarm
ing as it might be. AS for the efforts
to find means to combat the sub
marine, it is known that they CON
tinue. and there is assurance that our
naval vessels and seaplanes have
actually destroyed submarines, though
nobody can say how many. Bombs
which explode under water have been
dropped, and it is confidently believed
that some of these have destroyed
submarines. But ii is diyulged that
the undersea captains have learned a
trick of making their boat exude
quantities of oil and of scattering
make-believe wreckage TO deceive
their pursuers. That oil might be
sauirted from a submerged boat is
understandable. but it is difficult to
see how the "wreckage" could be
floated after submerging. The inven-
ton of a depth bomb, however, is an
important advance. Such bombs have
been talked about since the submarine
activities began, and the employment
of them has been reported. without
exclamation or verification. Now we
know that they exist and they VIII
certainly make the submarines work
of destruction harder, though they
may not stop it.
our Navy Department places strong
reliance ON the destroyer. Next year
our feet of warships of this class
will be as large as any nations, anc
when the present plans are carried
OUT we shall have more destroyers
than any other nation. American de-
stroyers have long been active IN tns
North Sea. Doubtless their enecuve'
ness there in the protection or com
merce has convinced the department
that we cannot have too many G
them.

RED CROSS TO PROVIDE
FOR DEPENDENTS
Families Of Fighting Men Must
Not Suffer.
CONGRESS TO AID
Memorandum Of Secretary McAdoo
Explains Operation Of Proposed
Legislation.

Ii is matter of importance TO the
Red Cross that, at the instance OF
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, a
comprehensive measure providing for
the financial assistance of the families
OF American soldiers and sailors has
been introduced in Congress.
Henry P. Dawson. Chairman, on be-
half of the Red Cross War Council.
recently authorized the following.
obviously the task of providing for
the financial assistance of the fami-
lies of our soldiers and sailors is so
large that the government alone can
assume it, In no other way can the
burden be discharged iairly and as a
matter of right rather than charity.
No voluntary organization. or organi-
cations, could adequately cope with a
duty of such magnitude
The bill, which was introduced in
both Houses of Congress simultane-
ously, represents very careful study
of the whole problem of possible de-
tendency as a result of the war and
conscientious estimate of the gov
ernment's recognition of its respon-
sibility.
AS drawn, the bill is an amendment
to the Act establishing the Bureau of
War Risk Insurance and adds 10 the
functions of this bureau the admins
tration of family allowances and al
lotments to dependents, of compensa-
ton for death or disability, and of
life insurance for men in the military
or naval service.
In a memorandum, Secretary Nc
Adoo explains the operation of the
proposed legislation.
II realize, says the Secretary of
the Treasury, that the cost involved
in the PRONUNCIATION of such a compre-
hensive plan is most important fac
tor to be considered. Actuarial esti-
mates were submitted to me. These
estimates are necessarily of a tenta-
tive character, owing to the fact that
it is impossible to secure accurate
data upon which to base calculations
After careful consideration of these
estimates, and after consultation with
Captain S. II. Wolfe, % the War De-
partment, one of the leading actua-
ries of the country, have reached the
conclusion that if the bill is promptly
enacted into law the total expenditure
for the first and second years will be
as follows:
