NEW RULING GOVERNS
 WAR RISK INSURANCE.
Applications May Be Filed by Rels-
 lives of Men in Service.

Under a new ruling regarding war risk insurance received from John l.. Way, chairman of the executive com mittee of the soldiers and sailors campaign council, bureau of war risk insurance, at Washington, by the Con- necticut state council of defense, ap- plication for war risk insurance may be filed with the bureau by relatives of men in the service and the appli- cations will be accepted provided au- thorization Is received by telegraph or cable from the man in the service not later than the expiration of the time limit within which such application may be made.
 The limit set by the government for applications for war risk insurance is 120 days after the date of entering the service. A large majority of Connee- ticut members of the national army entered the service at such time that their limit expires on Feb. 12. The council of defense is advising relatives of these men to act at once in order that fthe soldiers and sailors may be protected by this insurance which is provided by the government at excep- tionally low rates.
 The council of 1efehse has just sent to it's war bureaus and town commit tees throughout the state copies of a new poster which is headed "Is your soldier relative protected by Uncle Sam's insurance?" This poster points out the law and the date when the
 time limit for making application fol the insurance will expire, and sug- gests that the relative at home write or wire the man in the service at once in order that none may fail to take
 out this insurance before the time lirnit expires. The poster also explains how the relative at hone may make appli. l cation for the insurance, provided ths applica tion is authorized by telegraph or cable ny the man in the service.

AMERICAN TROOPS FOR
 TRENCHES IN FLANpERs
Because of Congestion at Deharkation
 Ports in France. /

Washington, Feb. 5.-In view of the difficulty in finding ships to put Amer ican fighting power in France, Gener- al Bliss, representing the United States at the military sessions of the Supreme War Council, is considering with British officials the advisablty of staring a flow of American battalions through the British training system to front line trenches in Flanders. This project it was learned today, has been talked over in various forms, one of the concrete proposals. being that l50 battalions be assigned for such train ing.
 Congestion at the American debark- ation ports in France lies back of the suggestion. By diverting certain units to British ports passing them through the British system and finally trans ferring them to General. Pershing's army, it has been urged that a consid- erable body of men could be trained and put on the firing line who other wise could not be sent forward for months.

Fred D. McCracken is being urged
by many friends to enter the race for
representative in the 9Th ward of St.
Paul against Rep. Geo. Nordlin. He
has many political friends among the
white citizens, made during the cam.
paign of Elk. Cong. Fred c. Stevens,
for whom he was secretary in Wash
in ston for 16 years; also the promised
support of the friends of his father
in-law, Capt. Godette of the Fire De-
partment. rep. Nordlin has not
made good" is the opinion Of many Of
his supporters. Sen. James Handlun
will meet serious opposition to his
reelection. The integrity and ability
Of Mr.. McCracken makes him a strong
factor and his popularity is a great
asset. Atty. w. T. Francis was de-
feated in the Legislative race in the
northeast end of the 9Th ward and it
is hoped he may run again. Mr.. Nc
Cracker is asked to represent the
northeast part of the ward. The Sth
ward has the bulk of the negro popu-
lation and the chances for two Negro
representatives from st. Paul are very
good. Fred" has many friends in
Minneapolis and about the state, who
are anxious for his success.
