Since our participation in the war,
Illinois leads all the states for the
number of men enlisted in the Marine
Corps. This state has also furnished
the greatest number in proportion to
its population, according to a report
by Marine Corps officials.
The report shows some interesting
comparisons between the inland and
maritime states. Men from the
former seem to prefer the Marine
Corps service, while those from Maine,
California and other maritime states
usually select some other military

Hard Coal To Cost More.

Washington, Dec. IA general
increase of 80 cents ton was added
to the price of anthracite coal at the

are effective beginning today and will
add more than $30,0OO,OO0 to the
public's annual coal bill.
The wrge increase was agreed on
by operators and miners representa-

on higher coal prices to absorb the
raise. When their negotiations were

it would add to the cost of produc-

raised at least 45 cents ton.
Fuel Administrator Garfield said
tonight he gave the problem the most
careful consideration, hesitating to
decide whether it would be worse to
add to the burden of those who buy
coal or permit workmen to leave the
mines for higher pay elsewheae, thus
reducing the coal output. It was
evident, he said, that the producers
were ready to fight the wage in
creases if forced to pay the entire
amount themselves.

Facts About War Insurance.

Any man or woman of any age in
the active military or naval service
of the United States can obtain Gov
ernment insurance. 1t has been ruled
that members of Officers Training
Camps are under the act and can OBJ
tain insurance. The cost for each
thousand dollars of insurance is from
sixty-fve cents a month to persons at
the age of twenty-one to one dollar
and twenty cents a month to those of
the age of fifty-one.
The bene6ciaries are limited to
wife, husband, child, grandchild,
brother or sister, stepbrother or step
sister, adopted brother or adopted
sister of the insured, as well as par
ent, grandparent, or stepparent eth
er of the insured or of his or her con-
sort.
The insurance is not-compulsory,
but the cost is low and the protection
great, and not only are all persons
eligible afforded every opportunity
to obtain this insurance without
trouble or extra expense but they
are specially urged to do so.
Gen. Pershing and thousands of
other officers and tens of thousands
of soldiers have already taken out in
surance. Up to date policies of in
surance have been issued aggregating
$1,032, 938, 900.

To Be Greatest Of Bases.
War And Navy Department To
Spend SI5,OOO,OOOOn On Develop
ment In Chesapeake.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Estimates
of appropriations for the next fiscal
year, transmitted to Congress today
through Secretary Of the Treasury
McAdoo, revealed plans OF the War
and Navy Departments to expend
approximately s15,OOO,OOO in the
development of their scheme to make
the Chesapeake Bay and its leading
tributaries a great naval and military
base. About S11 900, 900 of this fund
is for expenditure around Norfolk
and the lower bay, and s4,OOO,OOO
around Baltimore and in the upper
bay sections.
In Maryland the plans OF the War
and Navy Departments involve the
immediate expenditure OF 81 ,OOO,-
600 for the establishment of great
war-supplies and ordnance storage
warehouses on Curtis Bay; the spend
ing of 81 100000 in developing the
Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Har-
ford county, Sl50,OO0 of which is to
be used for expenses of officers sta
toned there or living in Baltimore,
and SS50,0OO for maintenance and
other expenses; the using Of $780,
600 in pushing the 35-foot channel
in Curtis Bay and Spring Gardens
branch of the Patapsco river; the ex-
penditure of 81, , 100, 900 for enlsrging
the Indian Head Proving Grounds
and the erection of new buildings at
the naval powder factory at Indian
Head, and s176,77 for the purchase
of the city quarantine station and
equipment, so that the Federal Gov
ernment may have complete control
of the quarantine service in the Ches-
apeake Bay.
The War Departments plans in
the lower section of the bay call for
the expenditure of SO, 100000 for the
enlarging Of the Norfolk Navy Yard,
the construction of new buildings and
other work so that the largest battle
ships can be built there. The sum
of So, 100000 is wanted to further
develop and maintain the naval base
and training station which has been
located on the site of the old James
town Exposition. Approximately
$l,54O,0O is asked for the dredging
of 4O-foot channel from the navy
yard through the Norfolk harbor to
the sea. This channel will be | 200
feet wide in some places and will be
one of the deepest harbors in the
United States. More than SIS, ,0OO,.
600 is wanted for the construction of
an ammunition shipping and storage
warehouse system in Norfolk.
The estimates also revealed the
fact that the Federal Government in
tends to have it's leading naval prov
ing ground in Maryland as well as its
leading army proving ground. The
81 100000 asked for the purchase of
more land at Indian Head will give
the Navy Department proving
ground almost as large as the one in
Hartford county. The navy has COM
planned for years that the proving
ground at Indian Head was too small
for emergency needs. The estimates
also show that approximately 81, ,6OO,-
100000 of ordnance will be tested at
the Aberdeen proving ground.
