American soldiers receive hlBneT
pay than the fighting men Of any
other nation in the world
But il is not intended that the ma
tons liberality shall lead them into
extravagant habits. on the contrary,
they are being given a compulsory
lesson in saving and also educated as
to the value Of life insurance.
The government withholds from
their pay for their dependents at
least $500 per month; or If they
have no dependents, the government
is authorized to withhold one-half Of
their pay which will be given TO them
with interest al four per cent when
they leave the service.
In addition to this the government
gives them life insurance at a rate far
below actual cost-paying the differ
ence out of the public treasury and
has brought such heavy pressure up
on them that nearly all have taken an
average OF $4,000 of this protection.
CThis is entirely separate from and
in addition to the indemnity plan
which takes the place of the old pen
sion SYSTEM This life insurance
premium is also taken from their
monthly pay by the government.
Aside from these items the soldiers
have been very generous in subscrib-
ing for Liberty Loans. After all
these deductions are made, il can be
seen our soldiers and sailors will
have little of their pay left for lux
uries The nation. however, provides
literally for their necessities.
This very practical lesson in thrift
which the nation is teaching its sol
diers undoubtedly will have a favor
able influence on their habits after
the war Many who heretofore have
spent money carelessly for non
essentials are learning how easy it
is to get along without them.
Congress in adopting this plan has
paid a much deserved tribute to the
men who have developed the great
HAAtllAAuN lllotANu Nitil VI itAN AiiNtA tAAANt
in our country. These men have
given many years of hard work TO
educate our people TO the value of
this form of thrift, and with mag
niHCent results. And now that the
government has brought directly
home to vast number of people the
fact that life insurance is n necessity
in this age and within the reach of
all, the proportion of people now Gov
cred by life insurance protection is
bound rapidly to increase.
II is extremely gratifying to the
great army of thrift missionaries,
known as life insurance agents, to
know that their good work has made
such n lasting impression upon the
public mind and brought so much
happiness to humanity.

A HIST AND LAST PEACE.

The essential principles that must
underlie peace. as stated by President
Wilson, should be constantly kept in
mind. They show the greatness and
unselfshness and justice of Amer
ica's war aims Briefly they are:
l. The final settlement of this war
must be based upon essential justice
and each particular case so adjusted
as will most likely bring a perma-
nent peace.
2. Peoples and provinces are not
to be bartered about as if they were
mere chattels and pawns in game.
3. Every territorial settlement
must be accorded all the satisfaction
possible, without introducing new or
perpetuating old elements of discord.

plying the money necessary from his
contingent fund. And it was the re-
suit of continued efforts along this
line that the President consented to
make the appropriation of $5,00O,-

addressed to the President personal
letter thanking him for this appro-
priation, as follows:

LETTERS BETTER THAN FOOD
Soldiers in France Regard Mail Day
as Bigger Than Pay Day, so
Write Often and Cheerfully.

Our head sergeant gets up, on a
box with his arms loaded with letters
and calls out "Mailp 1t goes along
the line like wildfre. Where it US
ually takes the men five minutes for
assembling for drill call or police du-
ty, and about two or three minutes
for mess call, I'll bet that within thir-
ty seconds the whole company is as
sembled when they hear The Mails
In" Then they all stand as silently
as if it were funeral so as not to
miss a single name as the sergeant
calls them out. Some go leaping and
yelling with joy with two or three
letters, or perhaps with one. The
more unfortunate ones often leave
with tears in their eyes. The day the
mail comes is bigger day than pay
day.-A soldiers letter.
