when the country was at peace,
and to be expended this year.

cost more than $50, 100000
Ammunition for small arms,

600, 900 already has been appro-
priated for this year. This does
not include, of course, the Ad-

PROTECTING OUR SOLDIERS.

One of the great uses of the
sale of Liberty Loan Bonds is
the protecting of our soldiers in
France protecting them by
armlng and equipping them with
every means of offense and de-
tense and supplying them with
proper food and medical atten-
ton and everything needed to
make them powerful and effec-
tive.
This idea of protecting of our
soldiers has been further enlarg-
ed as Secretary McAdoo now
proposes life and disability in
surance for the men who go to
the front, and adequate provis-
ion for the support and protec-
ton of their families. A con-
ference was held in Washington
lately with representative insur-
ance men of the country and it
seems that this insuring will
have to be done by the Govern
ment and will not be done by pri-
vate insurance organizations.
Here is another wise and just
use of Government funds that
will meet with the approval of
the nation.
In a speech before the confer
ence Secretary McAdoo in part
said:
1T is a crime for a great ma
ton to take a man and send him
to fight for his'country and refuse
to make adequate provision for
him and those who are depend
ent upon him and leave them
possible objects of the charity or
generosity of their neighbors.
I'VE must see to it not only
that every American soldier is
equipped with the best that
American money, ingenuity and
skill can provide, in order that
he may fight with the utmost
effect and sell his life as dearly
as possible for his country, but
we must see to it also that every
American soldier shall go to the
front with the comforting and
supreme satisfaction of knowing
that his loved ones will not be
dependent upon charity, but that
they are as much entitled to COM
pensation for what they are sac
rificing in order that he may go
to the front as he is entitled to
compensation for what he does
at the front. "
