INSURANCE SCOPE
IS BROADENED
Republican A. p. Leased wirel


WASHINGTON, March 20. - The
government war risk insurance bu-
reau, which heretofore has insured
only nom contraband, announced today
that it would broaden the scope of
its operations" and hereafter insure
practically all forms of contraband for
European countries except arms and
ammunitions.
The decision to insure contraband
vas reached at a meeting between
Secretary McAdoo and the advisory
board of the bureau.
Under the law no insurance can be
issued on vessels or cargo of vessels
other than American. Heretofore the
bureau has declined to issue policies
on articles declared central band by
belligerents including almost all
American products with the result
that only small percentage of the
American trans Atlantic merchant
fleet was insured by the government.
Even with this restriction, She bureau
as issued approximately 5000 900 900 in
insurance since it's inauguration in
September, 1914.
Total losses have been small, the
amount of the original appropriation
of S5,00O,000 by congress for the pay
ment of losses having been reduced
about 100000. Premiums for policies
are not available for the payment OF
losses but have to be turned into the
treasury.
| Recently congress appropriated SIS,
| 600, 900 additional for the payment OF
| losses, bringing the total up to APP
proXimately 100000.

keeps the enemy at home. 1t is IN

shameful thing for us to be content
to owe our safety to the fleet of a
power when we are all the time in
sisting we are neutral between the
power that is protecting US and the
power that is making war upon us. It
is a shameful thing.
IF we go to war, for Heavens sake
let US make it a real war. We are
bound when we fight to strike hard
and effectively. We want to prepare
at once q great army; l should hope
of a couple of million men so that if
the war lasts for a year we will be
able to be the decisive and controlling
element in it
"But do not wait for that great
army. We can send an expeditionary
force abroad now to fight in the
trenches or fight in the Balkan PENN
sula, wherever it is desired. We can
get that expeditionary force, if we
choose, within four or five months
