III 0TQer, however, luiIy lO protect each person and family, Congress has made it possible for every soldier, sailor, ard nurse to obtain life and total dis ability insurance. This insurance applies to injuries received while he or she is in the service or after he or she shall have left 1t.
 Exposure to the extra dangers of war makes the cost of life in. surance in private life insurance companies prohibitive. It waa therefore, a plain duty and obli- gation for the Government to as- sume the risk of insurinR hun. dreds of thousands of oUr sol. diers and sailors who are making the supreme sacrifice. Under this law. every soldier and sailor and nurse, commissioned and en- listed. and of any age, has the right. between now and Febru- ary 12, 1918, to take out life and tota'- disability insurance up to $10,000 at very low cost, with the Government. without medi- cal examination. This right is purely optional. The soldiers and sailors are not compelled to take insurance. but if they de- sire to exercise the right. they must do so before the 12Fh of February. 1918. The cost ranges from 65 cents monthly. at the age of 2l, to $l 20 monthly. at the age of 5l. for each $l, 900 of insurance. This is a small charge on a mans pay small in pro- portion to the benefits 1t may bring, The premiums will be deducted from his pay, Ii he de- sires, thus eliminating trouble on his part.
 To provide adequate prote C. tion until February 12, 1918, dur ing the period when the soldiers and sailors are learning tbe oe- tails of this law, the Govern ment automatically insureS eat h man and woman, commissioned or enlisted in the military ser vice of the United States. It pays the man $25 a month dGr- ing total permanent disability; if he dies within 20 year, 1t pays the rest of 240 monthly in- stallments Of $25 (; ch to his wife, child, OF widowed mother.
 1 desire to call the pr, visions of this just and generous law to the attention of our officers and enlisted men and wom> II so that they may not be oeprived of their rights through lack of knowledge. Full information may he obtained from the Bu- reau of War Risk Insurance of the Treasury Department, Wash ington, D. C. 1 earnestly urge that the officers of the Army and Navy give to the men under their command aIi possible ald Tn helping them to understand fully the benefits that this insurance

ARE STRUCK OUT OF
 REVENUE BILL
Five Per Cent Tax On Manu- lecturers Gross Sales Also
 Eliminated By Senate Com
 mittee.
(By Review Leased wire).

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Proposals for five per cent tax on manufac- turer's gross sales in many industries and for greatly increased surtaxes on big incomes were stricken out of the war revenue bill today by the senate finance committee, cutting down by many millions the total revenue pro vided for as the measure passed the House.
 The manufacturers sales tax was rejected bodily with the understand ing that other and probably lower levies woud be substituted later Aft CT refusing to accept the increased surtaxes on incomes of more than $40.000 written itno the bill during the House debate, the committee ap- proved the remainder of the income tax schedule virtually in the form in which it originally was drafted by the house ways and means committee.
 The decision to throw out the manu- lecturers tax which would tax pro- ducers of motor vehicles and many forms of merchandise was prompted by desire to eliminate the fiat tax imposed upon business generally and to distribute the levy more equitably. the committeeman said. The section was designed to raise SIS, S,75O,000 an nually. to be made up in whole or part by other forms or rates of taxation.
 The House proposal to tax manu- lecturers sales of vehicles is expect ed to be substituted by general, direct and graduated federal license tax upon owners of motor vehicles, att rates yet to be fixed, based either up- on original selling cost or horsepower. The effect, it was said, was to trans fer the tax burden from, the manufac- turers to the owner.i The majority of the committee was said to favor an- nual taxes of sl0 to SIS on motors. Trucks and vehicles used for business purposes may be exempted.

 "A most formidable attack again was directed against our positions on the Carso. What our defenders had to accomplish in this battle in repulse and counterattack belongs to history.

The battle has decided com pletely in our favor and the enemy at tack collapsed on the entire front with heavy losses.

The German announcement was made in reference t6 British denials of the German al legations that the British misused hos. pital ships.

 "The German government will in the future prevent all traffic by hospital ships in the entire barred zone and in the Mediterranean, including the roa,. left open for Greece, and will regard hospital ships appearing therein as war vessels and attack them immediately"
 Germany, the announcement says, will allow the transport of the ill ano from Saloniki and Greek rail ways to Kalamata Harbor and thence on hospital ships to Gibraltar on the conditions:
 First, the ships on the road left open to Greek shipping must proceeu at rate of speed previously reported to the German government.

 One of the most striking results was the small property damage here compared with the heavy loss of life. This is thought to have been due to the facts that the bombs happened to drop where large crowds of shop pers. augmented by people attracted to the potato sale. were gathered.
 In the residential sections of tho town fashionable homes were demol- ished but only one or two victims were found in the ruins. The raiders made a bee-line over the town, first bombing the residential sections and then pelting the shopping district as they flew out to sea.
