TO name ADVISERS
ON INDEMNITY ACT
Secretary Will Choose Men to Plan
War Insurance.

Secretary McAdoo will announce
Thursday the personnel of the COM
mittee OF insurance men who will act
as his advisers in framing the COM
pensation act which Congress will be
urged to pass before adjourning as
an indemnity measure for the protec-
ton of American soldiers. The COM
mittee will lose no time in getting
down to work. for an early adjourn
ment of Congress Is looked for. Mr..
McAdoo warned the men who volun-
teered their services that they would
nave a colossal task on their hands,
which meant day and night work. but
agreed to tackle any job the Secre-
agreed to tackle any job the secre-
tary laid out.
One Of the chief difficulties the COM
mittee will confront will be the prob
lem Of grading the amounts to be paid
to the men who leave more than one
dependent. They will also have to
meet the question of whether pay
ments shall be made in a lump sum
or whether it is. better to arrange for
installments. 1t is quite certain also
that the provisions of the measure will
make 1t plain that no further pension
may be sought by the families Of the
soldiers who fall in battle.
Still another feature which will tax
the sense Of equity, as well as the
chivalry Of the committee, will be the
treatment of the war widow. Most OF
the war-made widows will be young,
and it is fair to assume will be good
looking. At any rate, the insurance
men say they will be of re-marriage-
BILE age, and not likely to remain
widows
II they remarry, they will cease to
be dependents, 1t is argued, and un-
less exceptions are plainly stated in
the law. the government may find
itself paying unnecessary money.

such business. There must be some reason why it can be done The reason Is easily stated. London is in Great Britain. Chicago is in the united States. England has a Food control Bill The United States has not.
 Because France and England have been at war for some three years these countries know just what should be done to protect the interests of their people. They know where to cut off waste and where to further economy. The United States has not yet learned this lesson. It will learn 1t if the war continues long enough. But. it should be able to reap the benefit of others experiences. It should be able to look at what Eng land and France and even Germany have done and find a way out of it's d1mculties. Unusual conditions call for unusual methods of treatment. The situation now demands a Food Control Bill. We should have it.

Passing of Cavalry. (Kansas City 9tar.)

The new army being raised by tho United States will contain no cavalry, the general staff has decreed. The conclusion of the French army lead- CTS that everything that cavalry ever did can now be done better by air planes Is accepted.
 And thus passes another of the glamors of war No more shall the flying plumes of Murat's cruissiers have a place on tho field of battle; no more shall "Jeb" Stuart's dare devil ride cut off the supplies of an army; no more shall Sheridan's hard riders lay waste Shenandoah.
 From the French word for horser man came our word chivalry, but with the coming of the airplane, chivalry has taken to the sky. As Will Irwin says, it is the fiers in this war who do the deeds that used to be associ- ated with the foaming steeds of the cavalry The Chevalier Bayards now guide winged engines of death through the clouds instead of. spur ring chargers into the tumult of battle.
 For the rest modern war Is thing of trenches, barbed wire entangle- ments. mud and nauseous gases.

JACKIES PREPARE
 FOR HOURS ASHORE
Clubhouse at Headquarters Will
 Furnish Amusement

Base of American Flotilla in Brit ish Waters, June 22.-(By Associated Press) Two American pool tables arrived in this picturesque old vil- lage today. They are the first Amer ican tables ever seen here and at tracted a great deal of attention. They are the latest addition to the shore home of the American de- stroyers which has been named the United States naval mems club.
 Although the dormitory feature of the club house, which will provide sleeping accommodations for seventy five men, will not be completed for a month, the club house will be for merly opened on Saturday night.
 Moving pictures will share the honors with a vaudeville program provided by the American sailors. The program has been printed by destroyers' printers and announces songs dances, recitations and wrest- ling matches by ''the most marvellous aggregation from Gods country that ever set foot in any body else's coun- try.'
 Work on Club House.
 A moving picture machine from one of the ships has been installed and the orchestra of the destroyer fleet is busy practicing for it's share In the entertainment. Another feat ufe will be in minstrel show by troop of comedians who were for merly on the battleship Nebraska. The sailors were busy today putting the finishing touches to their club house which was formerly a public bath house and which they have con- verted into 8 hall, which seats nearly one thousand persons.
 The ship carpenters have con- structed a series of little abcoves a. cosy corners, and the ship artists have adorned the interior of each corner with a painting of old glory intertwined with the allies collors. The operations are being superdn- tended by fleet chaplain, a great fa- vorite with the sailors.
 Canteen at Club.
 When the clubhouse is completed the men will enjoy the aocommoda- tions of first class club. including a canteen whre American tobacco and refreshments may be purchased at pre-war prices. Shower baths will be another luxury.

HEADSTRONG.

To begin with, the persistent pick eting'' of the White House by "silent sentinels'' of the National woman's party was bad enough. Add to this the disgraceful tactics of yesterday and the day before, and the situation of yesterday would do credit to any gang of male thugs in the country. That women are driven to such des- peration is a disgrace to the nation
 The cause of suffrage must suf- fer from such scenes and occurrences as these. The women who do guard duty in front of the White House have overstepped the bounds of req son. By parading seditious signs they have melted to. riot They are play ing with dynamite.. No patriotic man or woman. can stand idly by and watch such things going on without attempt Ing to interfere, All the patriots are not yet dead.
 It would seem that the women representing the suffrage. cause in Washington are badly in need of an advisor. They could profit greatly by the advice of a friend. Tn all their activities to date they have displayed quality that is prevalent in small boys and sometimes the patient little donkey. They are. in nutshell. headstrong. Just so soon as they get over this quality. just 50 soon will they fare better at the hands of those whose help they invoke.

Stationed In the "Rose of New Eng land" city since early in the spring, the boys Of Captain Griswold'ss com- mand have. by their strict attention to duties, commander the respect of the citizens of that city, from the chief executive down, as will bos evinced In the following lettor re-i ceived today by Mayor Quigley:
 OMoe Of the Mayor

 June 90. 1917. Hon. George A. QuigNey, sss
 Mayor of New Britain, Conn. My dear Mayor:
 Y am glad to take this opportunity of adding g written word to what I told you, when we met at the Mayors association meeting in New London last week. with relation to the conduct and service of the men and officers of Company I, which have been located in our. city for guard duty for . number Of weeks past. "
 Captain Griswold, and all ors tlis officers fsthe company, .and tho men as we'll, so far as have been able to observe, have without exception received the commendation of all our. citizene for the manner in which they have conducted themselves. both when on duty and when or duty as well. I have myself been very much impressed with the appearance and calibre of the mon constituting thio company. am frank to say that consider them above the average, % far as my observation goes.
 They have attended strictly to their duty and been of great assistance not only in guarding the parts which they were assigned to guard, but in assisting the local police upon at least one occasion in handling large crowds in the city streets.
 I have nothing but praise to offer for the mon of this outfit and par ticularly for their captain. and on behalf of the city and the people of here am glad to express my appre- citation to you and to the people of New Britain for furnishing us with, such inc contingent of men.
 With cordial personal wishes. I re-, main,
 Very respectfully yours.

TT MUST NOT BE.

Many men, in most cases enthusias- tic. have been rejected from the army or the navy for minor physical defects such as lost filings in teeth or fallen of men who have suffered this setback upon application to either branch of the service certain physicians in Phil adelphia have undertaken the task of camp. There men with minor physi- cal defects will be treated and brought back to normal.
 Those who have gone up against the examinations for physical fitness given by the medical experts of the army and navy have in every instance vouched for the thoroughness of the job. Sometimes the smallest defect is enough for dismissal. There has been much complaint. Men have said. Uncle Sam is putting up hullabuloo about enlistments and when men try to enlist he rejects them. What is the matter? Doesn't he want to re- cruit the army to its full strength ?" That Is not the case at all. Uncle Sam wants men for his army and navy; but he wants the best men available. He wants men who are al- most physically perfect.
 The average American citizen Is a "a Srl,, ~.ooA anociyo ~, of v,1, pS{co1 uf fo m, ina. Working in the various walks of life may be found men who are looked upon by their brothers as fine samples of manhood. To the ordinary observ- CT they are just about what the doc tor ordered. Viewed from the stand point of the novice there could be no improvement. Under the scrutiny of . medical examiner, however. the con- ditions are presented in their true light. Men who look fit and able to perform extraordinary physical tasks are pro- nounced imperfect. In most cases these defects are minor ones They come from neglect. It will be good thing when all men come to the point of realizing that they arc not as well of as they think, that a week or so in a reclamation camp is about what is needed.
 In time of war a nation and its peo- pie learn many things they never knew before. This is one of them. The men of this nation have neglect ed themselves so far as their physical welfare Is concerned. They have not taken enough exercise. they have not kept their bodies in good condition. The army and navy examinations show that. The average man Is not what he should be, viewed from the physical standpoint. The time then has come when the men of the nation must get into training. Otherwise, Uncle Sam will, when he has picked his army, leave behind a nation of weddings, of detectives, and that must not be.

BOY SCOUT

At the meeting of Troop 1s, Mon day night 1t was decided that the first squad of Scouts go camping from the 25th of June until July s, and the second squad from July 9th to tho 18th.

 Last Saturday some of the troop went after poles and brush for our garden on Linwood street while others went to our potato patch" at Hart's lot
 We found plenty of weeds and also a quarry of stone, so we all pitched in. extracting stones and built 8 wall as q boundary wall around our acre.
 Next Saturday we expect to go out and spray the plants so we may fill our cellars with "spuds" in the fall. There are several trek carts under way to be ready for the grand har- vest.
 Four of the Scouts eager to attain a higher rank in Scouting took their tracking last Friday. We still expect to be the best Troop in our city.
 Last Friday night four members of Troop took first aid tests. Of those obtaining the highest marks there will be appointed one first lieutenant and two second lieutenants. The trek cart which has been under construc- ton for some time is now finished and the fellows expect to put 1t to good use soon. On Tuesday night the 2Oth there was 8 meeting of the Patrol Leaders and their assistants at which a method for troop mobilization was worked out. This method will be tried out shortly.

 At the meeting on Wednesday night three new Scouts were enrolled. They are Gustave Ewald, James Dawes and John Real. Scoutmaster Bonney Is going to have a re-organi- zation of the whole troop.
