For about two thousand years the
world has been cropping through a
desert seeking the ministry of real
service and finding it not. While we
followed the mirage, a world war came
to give us our lesson in service.
Maybe I have not yet caught the
vision, myself. but l believe that a tour
of several thousand miles through the

FOUR MILLION APPLICk-
7'IGNS RECEIVED

Iowance of $1,000. Average
Over $4,000

Washington, .. Gin the month of
October, the Bureau of War Risk In
surance of the Treasury Department
mailed 957 240 checks, of which 934, 157
were for allotments and allowances,
6,074 for compensation, and 10000 for
government insurance.
To date the bureau has sent out T.
486, asa checks. representing a total dis
bursement Of $230,000,00O.
More than $500 death claims, rep
.resenting Sis 900 of insurance and
"a disability claims, representing $142,~
500 of insurance, have been paid to
date
The insurance written on the lives
of soldiers and sailors by the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance is now close to
thirtysiX billion dollars Up to Octo;
Der 31st, about four million applica-
tions, representing $35, 1886, 0O0 900 Of in
surance, has been received
Almost two billion dollars of new
insurance was written during October.
This is a marked decrease from the
figures for recent months, and was
caused by the epidemic of influenza,
which retarded the movement of men
to camps. Nevertheless the Bureau Of
War Risk Insurance received during
October more than six times as much
insurance as the largest commercial
life insurance company in the world
wrote during the entire year of 1917.
With the resumption of steady err
trainments the flow Of new insurance
is now returning to it's normal rate of
approximately one billion dollars a
week
The average amount of insurance
applied for per man is mounting rap
idly. Almost without exception new
men joining the celors are taking the
full $40 600 of Uncle Sans insurance.
The average amount is now $S,743.
According to the best available esti-
mates the army and navy are now al
most 95 per cent insured
The Bureau Of War Risk Insurance
has. received to date about 1000, 900
applications for government insurance,
and 100000 applications for allot-
neuts and allowance, and has received
an answered in addition more than
100000 letters.
The bureau has grown to be the
largest single bureau in the govern
nent, comprising the largest health
and accident insurance company, the
argest disbursing organization, and
ncomparably the largest life insurance
in the world.
To keep up an unbroken stream OF
government checks to the relatives Of
soldiers and sailors, many sections Of
the bureau are working night and day,
and the dsbursing office has three
working shifts. which keep check writ
ing and check signing machinery in
operation twenty four hours a day.

several years ago in ''Modiste" It was
delightful renaissance of olden days,
memory Of gay New York brought
back once more. To those who had
heard the prima donna before it was
evident that her voice had lost none
of its early charm, it still held its
clear notes, it's richness and sweet

at times of a new tenderness and
strength, qualities that only the war
and the wealth of the last four years
could have brought forth
