SOLDIER INSURANCE PLAN
 INVOLVES MUCH LABOR

The treasury department issues the following:
 A million checks a month will soon be going forth from the Bureau of War-Risk Insurance to safeguard Americas fighting forces and their families, according to an announce ment made recently by Secretary Me Adoo.
 To administer the military and naval insurance act there has been develop ed within the treasury department, almost overnight, mammoth war ma chine-a war machine three months old, but already working full blast.
 Applications Nearing Four Billions.
 Up to January 12 applications for $3,633,213,000 of insurance had been received by the military and naval division of the bureau. This repres- ents 427,811 soldiers and sailors in- sured by the government against death and total disability. From B. 900 to 15,000 applications are received daily, and the average amount ap- piled for is we'll above s8,5OO, the mini mum permitted by the act being $1,- 900 and the maximum $1O,0O0.
 With concerted effort now in pro- gress to make America's fighting forces 100 per cent insured" these totals, great as they are, are regarded as only beginning. The distribution of the official insurance certificates to all persons insured will be started shortly. The usual elaborate, intri- cate, and lengthy policy has been abandoned in favor of a simple and compact certificate, behind which all the resources of the United States are arrayed.
 Four Measures in One.
 The act which the bureau is ad- ministering is in reality four measures coordinated for a common purpose. The first is system of allotments and allowances, in which the fighter and the government are partners, for the care, during the war, of the enlisted mans family This work alone is keeping more than 500 persons in the bureau busy. Fifteen minutes after the regular day staff finishes work at 4:45 o'clock the night staff comes on, to work until midnight. The bureaus entire night shift numbers about 500 employees.

LONDON, Nov 20. (By MaiD - Called on Col. House at Chesterfield House. The library in which affable secretary and son-in-law Gordon Au- chincloss asked me to wait is the handsomest room I ever saw. The Manchester Guardian man has since told me the room was as Lord Chester field himself designed it and that the portraits forming border about the four walls are original Rembrandts and Van Dycks. Fancy having your in- terior decorating done by those two gentlemen.
 Held short, though solemn, con verse with the Colonel on matters of grave import. He told me (deleted by the authOr.) l am at liberty to say also that our foremost Texas citizen was looking extremely well, not the least oppressed by the title given him in the London papers, Special Am bassador of President Wilson to the al lied countries"
 One of those machine-tooled Eng fish servants about which one reads made the mistake of opening the door, without having been sent for
 Please go out" laid the Colonel, without raising his voice or breaking the continuity of his conversation. The servant went out like a snuffed candle. It was as though the three words were three bullets singing past his ears.
 As we departed the Associated Press reporter remarked:
 That door man is one of the shrewdest secret service men in Scotland Yard"
 And 1 replied with that agility of humOr which readers of this diary will learn to admire:
 Hes wasting his time here. Col. House will never tell him anything. "
 We passed out upon the very cob bied pave where, again according to the Manchester Guardian man, Dr. Samuel Johnson was kept cooling his fat heels by Lord Chesterfield until he got mad and went off to write his downright opinion of his lordship.

 We tried our kick about the destroyer incident on him.
 Did you think of this?" he asked. We hadn't. This" was a phase of antiU-boat warfare to remote from the --'s fight that the connection between the two never would have occurred to anybody not responsible for the whole campaign We had to agree that the story really shouldn't be told for a few days yet.

 Well, boys, don't know what I can tell you," began the ambassador in his customary genial way.
