To Get Licenses Fire
Companies Must Show
No German AfiLiatior

Austin, Texas, July 4--Unless Il can
be conclusively shown that Germany
has no connection whatever with the
nine Russian fire insurance compa-
MES that were refused a renewal OF
license for 1918 in Texas, commission
er OF insurance and banking Charles
O. Austin announces he VIII not
change his decision.
On the ground that Russia was. as
at present constituted. an ally Of Ger
many, Austin refused to relicense for
the current year these Russian COM
panies, This action caused some pro-
test by certain insurance companies
and resulted in Austin writing a let
ter 20 the Texas Association OF Local
Fire Insurance Agents. recently In
session at Houston. in which he said
he would be pleased to reconsider his
action, provided Il could be shown be-
yond doubt that the money paid 20
these companies was not reaching
Berlin. This has not as yet been done,
says Austin. and IA the meantime no
licenses will be Issued TO these com
panies.
One or two Of these companies, Aus
tin says. had headquarters in Rus
sian territory now under military oc-
cupation by the German army, and be-
sides, it would have to be proved TO
him that Germans were not stock
holders in these companies.
