THE BIGGEST INSURANCE COMPANY.

Among the many superlatives to which the United
States may lay claim is that of being the biggest nsur
ance company on earth
1t is an outgrowth of the war. The government un-
dertook Immediately after entering the conflict to fore
stall any reptition of old warpenson experiences by in
su1lng its fighting men on cooperative and economical
basis the men paying very low rate and the government
itself making up whatever losses might result. Insur
ance in this company was not made compulsory but its
benefits were urged with such good effect that nearly all
the soldiers and sailors have taken policies averaging
era thousand dollars EACH
The total amount of these policies it is announced
had reached approximately $4O0OO0O0 up to the sign
ing of the armistce.
This amount is $100OO000 more than the estimated
cost Of the to the United States AS index of the
size and power of the company issuing these policies
dwarfs all comparison. The biggest private insurance
company in the world has less than 100000 in policies
Uncle Sans company has literally large
volume of life insurance as all the private insurance
companies in the world put together.

FOR WORLD TRAVELLERS

San Francisco, Nov. 29.-The vast

the American people with opportuni-
ties offered in the territory.
alaska is to be the mecca for

The territory's 10000 reindeer,
developed from 1880 imported from
the government between 1892 and
1902, will figure in the effect to sup
ply the world with food, Mccormick
said. Fox farms, where animals
bearing pelts worth $2,50O each
have been developed, and skunk
farms are among the many unusual
pursuits of the region, he said.
"On the way to Fairbanks, reach

the Matanuska coal fields, where
coal Is being developed in CONNER

HOLD FREEDOM Of SEAS
AS A TRUST FOR ALL

Winston Spencer Churchill, in
speaking of the freedom of the
seas" gives his views on the subject
as follows:
From the battle of Trafalgar to
the end of the 10th century we were
absolutely free at sea. We were the
only nation whose ports were open
to the world, whose markets were
unrestricted by any tariff and whose
coastwise trade was not held as a
national monopoly. Even our kith
and kin from the United States
whose affections and aid have been
so dear to us, never practiced that
broad, liberal policy which we, fol
a century of unchallenged supremacy
have shown upon the sea. II other
nations OF the world are content to
allow us to keep the supremacy Of
the seas without demur 1t will be
because we hold 1t as trust for ALL
