the principle is established in the bill.
 If death results from the injury or disease incurred or contracted in the course of the service," continues Sec retary McAdoo's statement, "compen- sation is paid to the widow. children, and dependent widowed mother. The amount, based upon percentage of pay, ranges from a minimum, accord ing to the size of the family from $15 to $eO per month. to maximum for the higher officers of $2oo per month.
 Risk of n-insurability at ordi- nary rates is indemnified against by the insurance of government insur- ance, covering total disability and death, to officers. men, and army nurses, while in the active service as part of the military or naval forces, in the amount Of $1.000 to $10,000.
 "The excess cost due to the in creased mortality and disability risk should clearly be borne by the gov ernment. The cost of administering the insurance bureau for the benefit of the fighting men is also proper governmental charge As the govern ment will not have the other expenses incident to insurance. the premium rates to be charged by it are based upon the mortality experience tables of peace time without loading Load ing comprises overhead charges, com missions to agents. advertising, etc,
  charges of private companies"
 With these loading" expenses elim- mated, Secretary McAdoo says an in surance costing during the war an average of sS per s1,000 can be pro- vided, thus bringing even the maxi mum of $1osOo0 insurance to only $So a~year premium-a charge within the reach of practically every private. Ar ter the war the insurance may be converted into other forms with ear Her maturity, the premiums to be based, however, on the same mortality tables and without loading"
 "The laws and experiences of other countries" says the secretary, nave been studied and used in the prepara- ton of this bill. It is clearly recog- nized that the government can offer but minimum protection based on general averages throughout the coun- try, and that in many states and large cities especially, supplemental grants will be required. State and municipal legislation may be expected to meet this need"
 This bill places the responsibility for the gigantic task Of relief of de- pendents where it obviously belongs upon the national government At the same time there will be local obliga- tions for reIief-and in these the Red Cross will naturally function through it's chapters and other local agencies. To quote again from the recent state ment of the chairman of the Red Cross War Council:
 'The American people will not per- init families to suffer want because their breadwinners are fighting for their country. Cases will undoubted- ly arise wherein the allowance of the government will not be adequate to protect a family from financial dis tress. Such cases the Red Cross will hope to provide for through its chap terS"

FINAL UNION SERVICE SUNDAY
Rev Browne Gage Occupied the Pulpit Park Congrega tional Church-The Three Kinds of Evil and the Way to Meet Each-Preacher Says Our Enemy Must Be Turned Into Friend.

The last of the union services of the summer was held Sunday at Park church with Rev. BrownelI Gage occu- pying the pulpit.
 MT. Gage took as his text the 18th chapter of PauFs epistle to the Ro- mans, 2fst verse: Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
 There are three kinds of evil in the world and three ways of meeting it. The first evil is that of the spirit of hatred and enmity, malice and the will to work harm and evil and suf- fering. The second evil is the abstract evil of misfortune. sorrow and suffer ing. Tn, third is the evil of sin, which is fundamentally the root of all evil These are not distinct and separate, but are woven together into the fabric of our daily life and act upon each other.
 There are three distinct ways of meeting these evils. The first is the negative way of non-resistance and being overcome by them. Or we may take the way of fighting and using evils own weapons, turning them against it. The final way is to over come evil with good
 In Pauls letter his allusion was to the first form of evil, the active hatred and enmity of an enemy, but his words may apply to evil in general
 Although this thought was not orig inal with Paul or with Jesus, the first
 
 What is the principle in this? What can our enemy do to us? There may be the personal side, the injury to me personally, to my country. my friends, my feelings. The wounds to my soul, the central purpose of life, and my fellowship with God may be over whe1ming. It requires philosophy to realize that when my enemy steals my purse he steals trash and in stealing my reputation he does not enrich him. self and we may yet be triumphant Only by the poison of his own hatred has he injured me vitally.
 We sometimes think of Paurs reme- dy as the refinement of punishment and hatred, the heaping of coals of fire on the enemy's head. Such was not his meaning, however. His thought was to meet poison and hatred with real love and overcome until he is won. Thas was Jesus way. He won his enemies by the power of his love
 Can we change enemy into friend? With the Juggernaut car of pain and suffering we may let it pass

over Us, may even cast ourselves under its wheels; we may oppose, or mount ing it we may make it a chariot to ride to heaven. Paul did the last.
 Most of us satisfied with op- posing it. The courage it takes excites our admiration. Prometheus, chained and suffering, yet daring to hold his head high in defiance, is to us inspir- ing. It is a splendid ideal, but after all only a pagan one. but half vic tory. We cannot fail to see 1t when we compare him with Jesus. He sinks into insignif1cance beside Jesus, who made the cross the symbol of glory.
 With Paul, his tho:n in the flesh be- came his source of strength. That which hampered and harassed him he rose above and overcame. Other men have overcome, a host of them. They have done their best work in the face Of disease and suffering and trans formed weakness into strength. They did more in a little time than as if a longer time had been at their dis posa1. The prophet Hosea with the stead of utterly succumbing and giving way to the sorrow of his dasolated life, or even of going on in the usual path. he made his tragedy victory and accomplished.
 In the evil of sin can we make our defeats become the source of our strength There are many examples in history where this has been done. Peter the Great Of Russia on receiving news of the crushing defeat of his carefully trained army at the hands of Sweden. remarked: We may lose at first, but we will learn by our de- feat"
 Hercules in wrestling with Anteus who every time he touched the earth renewed his strength, learned that only by holding him in 1he air could he overcome him. So we must learn to turn the shattered fragments of our mistakes into the ladder by which we may use. We may profit by our mis- takes and sins to gain a hard fought victory.
 We must overcome evil with good. There is no other way. l. is true in this wa~. It is true in military way it is true in a spiritual way. Our en- emy must be turned into a friend. When the evil wrought is so disas- trous it must be checked, but in the end complete victory is only won by the transformation of enemy into friend. May God give us that complete victory.

A Safe and Sane Fourth.

Safe and sane in the superlative
state will be the observance of the
Fourth of July in Maine, according to
the present indications. This result
will be brought about not only by the
action of many of the municipal Of
ficcrs in the cities and towns but also
as a result of suggestions by Governor
Milliken.
Since the war with Germany started
and since it became apparent that the
United States must conserve all its
supplies, food as well as munitions,
many. letters have been received by
Governor Millilcn which have urged
him to take some action that would
prevent the sale of fireworks in Maine
during the present crisis.
Governor Miliicn was of the opin-
ion that the State, as such. was power
less in the matter and Hon. Guy II.
SturgiS of Portland, the attorney gen
eral. in an opinion has declared that
the sale of fireworks is a matter of
wholly local control and is entirely in
tho hands of city and town officials.
Licenses to sell fireworks are granted
Ivy the local municipalities. but, should
the firecrackers and other noise MAX
ers, the lcerse to sell may be refused.
and thus a prohibition against the sale
of explosives is obtained that could
not be secured by the State.
Governor Milliken is, accordingly
hoping that the city and town authori-
tics in all parts of the State will take
some action towards a safer and saner
Fourth of July. He has suggested that
licenses for the sale of fireworks be
refused and many municipal officers
have already adopted this suggestion
In addition to this. the committee on
public safety is formulating a program
for the Fourth of July observance that
is designed to take the place of the
noisy numbers. The details of this
program will be announced in few
days.
