Russia viii Perish
Without Aid Of u. S.,
Says Appeal to Wilson

Washington, Nov. 8.-National aid
must be furnished Russia by the al
lied and United States government
at once if that nation is to be saved,
says an appeal to President Wilson
from the united Russian provisional
government at Onlsk, which was in
the hands Of the State department
today.
The appeal, which was delivered
to Secretary Lansing yesterday by
Boris Bakhmeteff, Russian ambassa-
dor to the United States. declared
that assistance already furnished the
Russian people will be in vain If the
new help arrives too late" y
Every hour of delay threatens
with innumerable calamities Russia,
the allies and other nations" says
the appeal. There was no indication
in official quarters of possible action
to be taken by the United States and
the allies.

Insurance Losses from Flu
Exceed Those for War

In bulletin issued recently by
the New York Life Insurance COM
pany is a comparative statement of
the death claims paid by this COM
pany resulting from war casualties
and those resulting from Spanish
influenza.
The total losses incurred by this
company from war leaths, inclusive
of those on the Lusitania were 233,
representing gross premium Of
$58l $40, while the loses of the same
company from the influenza for the
first % days of the, month Of
October alone were 283, with a
gross premium of $632975.00.
In other words, the death claims
paid by this company resulting from
Spanish influenza exceeded those
resulting from the ravages of war
by 50, while the gross premiums
paid exceeded those due to war
casualties by $51,596.00.
The bulletin, while covering the
period, perhaps, of greatest loss on
account of the influenza, by no
means includes all the losses paid
by the company, as there are several
policies varying from $4,000 down
which have been paid since this
bulletin has been issued.

New York, Nov. San appeal to
America to assist France in her re-
construction-with men, money, ma
terials and ships-was made here
tonight by Andre Tardieu, general
commissioner for Franco-American
war affairs.
Declaring that the war has re-
duced to one-hfteenth the effective
population of the republic, that
$4,000 homes have been destroyed,
that agriculture, commerce and in
dustry in the invaded regions viz
tually have been wiped out, that
French shipping and foreign trade
have been reduced almost to non
existence, Mr.. Tardin said that ap-
proximately 50,000000,000 francs
($l0,000,000,000) will be required to
finance the process of restoration.
While France, "for many months
the main battlefield of liberty and
right" will draw upon her every re-
source and those of her colonies to
mobilize this vast sum, the commits
sioner stated, it confidently looks
for assistance from the allies.

Greeters Of America Are to
Meet Here in December

Greeters of America Charter No.
| held their regular semi-monthly
meeting in the Hotel Rome Tues
day night, November 5, at which
time it was decided to hold the an
nual convention OF the association In
Omaha on December and o.
A very cordial invitation was re-
ceived from the hotel men of Sioux
City to hold the convention in that
city, but for certain reasons the COM
mittee having the matter in charge
thought it best not to accept the
invitation at this time. The dates OF
the convention are particularly ap-
propriate for the convention, mas
much as December marks the 18th
anniversary of the organization OF
the Charter.
The men who are personally re-
sponsible for THE organization are
Colonel Anderson of the Rome ho-
tel, Paul Stanton of the Conant,
Joe Keenan, of the Henshaw, o. E.
Carney of the Loyal, A. Pates, at
that time editor of the Midwest
Hotel Reporter; Frank Rubel of
Shenandoah, Ia, and K. c. Scott of
Kansas City.
The convention will be largely de-
voted to the business interests of
the Charter, but it is understood
there will be enough of the social
element interspersed throughout the
various meetings, to relieve the
monotony of business routine and
enough "eats" to amply take care of
the inner man."

Tardieu Appeals to America
To Assist France With Men
Money, Materials and Ships

tinued, making public, as he said,
representation which he had pre-
sented to the administration at
Washington, France asks for con-
tribution of labor by american
troops now on her soil; for credits
to the extent of so per cent of her
reconstruction purchases in this
country for raw materials, railroad
rolling stock and agricultural and
industrial tools, and for diversion of
part of the emergency fleet to the
uses of French commerce. In ex-
planning these needs to the Ameri-
can government the commissioner
said he was given a welcome by
which he was deeply moved"
While France will exact restitu-
ton for German depredations, Mr..
Tardieu asserted, speed in the re-
construction is imperative and am
erica, on account of her immense
capability for production, ought to
give US the first help" T
The French commissioners ap-
peal to America was made in an ad-
dress before the Association Of
