eyed company OF coming soldiers.
Not one seemed unwilling to do his
part and their only anxiety was to
get the answers to their questions
right. Many we're accompanied by
some members of the family.
Each young man as he registered
was given a card with his given and
family name. street or rural route,
city and state address written in and
signed by a registrar. This card
is stamped officially on the back.
There Is en- official stamp attached
so that no one can get hold of card
and fill ii out himself.
There are no serial numbers on
the cards issued to registrants. The
duplicate cards we're given serial
numbers by the clerks in the draft
headquarters today. Later on these
numbers will be placed on the GER
tificates for each registrant. 1t is
not known yet as to whether there
will be any drawing number on the
lottery wheel plan, as held last July

used. Plans for inducting the new
lregistrants into the military service
will be announced from Washington
later.

MILLION MEN INSURED.
U. S. Soldiers and Sailors Take Out
$1,000. 100000 in Policies.

AT the close of Wednesday, Feb. ID
over 100000 soldiers and sailors and
army and navy nurses had applied Tor
government insurance under the soldier
and sailor insurance law. The amount OF
insurance applied for is more than SS,-
00O. 900 600 The maximum permitted to
any person is $4,000, and the average
applied for is SS2l2 There are many
applications mailed from distant points
which have not yet reached the treasury
department. The above figures are only
of applications that have been actually
received and granted,
The amount of government insurance
in force is more than three times as much
as the total ordinary life insurance in
force with any life insurance company in
the world.
The splendid result which gives to
more than a million of the soldiers and
sailors of our country the benefits of this
insurance, which Secretary McAdoo has
Justly described as the most just and
humane provision ever made by any gov
eminent for its fighting men, is due to
the quick appreciation by the beneti-
ciaries of the value of the insurance and
the invaluable aid patriotically given to
the war risk insurance bureau OF the
treasury by the press of the country, the
officers of the army and navy, and many
of the individual soldiers and sailors, toI
which must be added the earnest and
efficient work of officers and agents of
the insurance companies, fraternal bene-
ficiary associations, and many patriotic
organiza tions.
The campaign, which has for its pur
pose the insurance of each and every per-
son entitled to insurance under the law,
will be continued The time within
which insurance may be applied for has
been extended by general resolution of
Congress, approved by the president, I'M
til April Il, 1918.
The automatic insurance, however,
which automatically gave insurance to
all entitled to receive it until Feb. II,
no application was made, has
expired. Hereafter only those who have
applied for and received policies will re-
GIVE insurance

ARGENTINA NOT TO INTERFERE.
Will Do Nothing in Regard to Mexican
Purchases of Grain There.

Buenos Aires, Feb 23-The Argentine
foreign Office says positively that the
government will not intervene in the ce-
real operations of Mexican delegates
here. saving that, az the embargo has
been lifted, anyone can buy, and ship
wheat if he has shipping facilities. 1t is
believed that the Mexican delegates in
tend buying much more than 10000 tons,
the amount they were reported to have
bought, but without the assistance OF
their government.
1t was announced on Feb. 20, in a de-
spatch from FL Paso. Tex, that between
1000 and 10000 tons OF wheat and flour
had been purchased in Argentina and
Chile for distribution in Mexico. A Wash
ington despatch of the same date said
that any attempt by Argentina to dis
pose of considerable quantity OF wheat
other than to the allied countries prob
ably would meet with opposition by the
United States and her co-bellgerents
