GOVERNMENT MAY
INSURE SOLDIERS
LIVES FOR $4,000
Would Be Paid to Benefciaries
Without Premiums in Lieu Of
Pension Arrangements-Men
Could Take out Higher
Amounts by Paying Premi-
ums at Peace Rates

Washington. June 3.--Plans for Is
suing $4,000 free government insurance
on the life Of every sailor or soldier
during the war in licu Of pension ar
rangements will be taken up next
week by tho Council Of National De-
Tense. A report prepared by Assistant
Secretary Sweet Of the commerce de-
partment. ready TO be submitted. urged
thatAthe insurance he provided through
legislation before American troops are
sent to France.
The defense council took up the ques-
ton some weeks ago and turned the
whole subject over 10 the department
Of commerce for investigatinon. The
report now ready offers a long list or
arguments showing the advantage OF
working out a compensation system
before American lives are lost In the
war
The plans as proposed provide for .
fat insurance of $4,000 on the life or
every officer and private in the mill
tary and naval service. to he paid TO his
beneficiaries without premiums. A gov
eminent insurance bureau would ham
die the whole subject and there would
be provision for a system OF insurance
by which officers and men desiring TO
do so could take out amounts higher
than the $4,000, free policy by paying
premiums at peace rates.

For Peace
RUSSIAN MOVE
is SUGGESTED
BY BARON ROSEN
Diplomatic Conference
with Entente Allies
to Determine Possible
Basis

Petrograd. June 2.--(Via London).-In a
long declaration published in today s
Deun, Baron Rosen. former Russian am
bassador to the United States and former
member Of the Council of the Empire,
suggests as means of exit for Russia
from her present chaotic condition dip
lomatic conference with the Entente Al
lies to determine possible basis for
peace with the Central Powers The
original aims of the Wharf.-The complete
ruin Of the enemy--have become hopeless
velop into slow process of more or less
exhaustion of both sides.
Russia is on the edge of a precipice,
Baron Rosen declared safety demands
that she find an exit before the growing
anarchy wrecks the country. She must
say goodbye to illusions and look the
truth in the eye. The watchword OF
war to the end must be considered in
the light Of conditions
Those conditions are becoming worse
with increasing Reorganization. The en-
envy as we'll as the Allies are informed of
that fact We are running the Nsk Of be-
~ sA'O
necessity of making a shameful peace if
we defer following the only course con-
firmable with dignity and honor. We
must abandon the use of words which
mean nothing clear and definite and begin
a diplomatic conference with the Allies
and the United States which has joined
the coalition and find out what conditions
Of peace will satisfy them and at the
same time he in accordance with the
spiritsof the declaration of the temporary
government and the principles proclaimed
by President Wilson"
Baron Rosen acknowledges that Russia
is late with such diplomatic suggestion
which in his opinion should have follow
ed President Wilson's appeal to the bel
ligerent countries. At the time, however
the governing classes of all the countries
we're so intent upon the idea of the COM
plete ruin of the enemy, he comments,
that no one government could assert its
readiness to solve the problems Of the
war by conferences.

II PROVINCES REVOLT
Refuse to Recognize the Pekin
Government

Pekin, June 3.-Eleven provinces of
China. including the province Chi Ii, in
which Pekin is situated. now no longer
recognize the authority of the Pekin gov
eminent. The provinces of kwang- Tung
kwang-S and IunNan are supporting
President Ii Yuan Hung. The provisional
assembly of kwangTung. in assuring its
loyal support to the President and Par
Lament, demands that the military gov
errors be dismissed and punished.
DR.. sub Vat Sen. former Premier
Tang Shaoii and other revolutionary
leaders are proceeding hurriedly to
Canton. 1t seems probable that should
the military governors persist in their
revolutionary course that the free 10y
al south China provinceS-kwang
Tung, kwanSSi and Yam Nan-will
rise in support of the President. At
present the situation is serious and the
President is virtually powerless. Ac-
cording to official information today
the President intends tomorrow to in
troduce a bill taking in a declaration
of war against Germany if there is a
quorum present in Parliament. The
presence of a quorum, however. seems
doubtful.

we have no specific complaint. 1t Is
merely the concrete expression of new

Asked whether Kronstadt expects COT
lision with the provisional government.
Lamanoff answered:
mo On June IA there will meet the
Pan-Russian Congress CT delegates Of the
Councils Of Deputies from all quarters.
This congress in my opinion provides the
nucleus for skeleton for Russias future
administration. Until it meets the Petro-
grad ministers will hardly venture to
take measures against US. Remember
that independent kronstadt does not
stand for the complete dissolution of the
empire. but the bonds must extremely

that his own brother. Peter Lamanoff,
