NATIONAL LIFE HAS
FIRST DEATHCL
Remarkable Record Of Home
Company Broken After
Eighteen Months,

The National Life Insurance Conn
pany of the Southwest, which is a
home company with its home office
located in Albuquerque. and whose
president is John Becker. received its
first death claim Yesterday The
National has been writing business
for eighteen months and two days,
and has at the present time nearly
three millions of business on the
books. The fact that THIS company
has not had q death claim up to this
time is considered remarkable by men
versed in the life insurance business.
The nearest approach to this record
ever made by an old line legal reserve
company was made by an eastern
company that was a year and three
months old before they had a death
claim.
In accordance with the policy OF
the company whereby death claims
are paid on the day proofs are re-
ceived, a check was drawn in the
company's office in payment of this
death claim two hours after proofs
of death had been received by the
company.
The stockholders of the National
Life consist of the most prominent
men in the state and the directors
are men who have been successful in
their own personal business. The
fact that during the last ten years
over twelve million dollars has been
sent out of the state of New Mexico
for life insurance premiums was the
chief factor that induced the business
men of New Mexico to organize the
National Life.

haiX and found it, like Lille and Os-
tend. gay with the flags of the allies,
the people ready to greet enthusiastic
callv any one in allied uniform.
The day was gray ana rainy when
7 was in Ostend, but the city was
dressed as for a carnival and the at
mosphere of rejoicing offset the
leaden skies. As the press car drove
i'm, children of all ages clustered about
it aud the adults Joined in their vocif-
erous greeting,
Fully a score of persons had been
killed during the day ty German
"boohvtraps," we learned from the peo-
pie. So long lad the Germans been in
occupation that many Of the residents,
especially the young, had acquired
mixture of German speech with their
French.
No Wanton Devastation.
Apart from damage by shellfire and
bombs in sections that could not es-
cape it, Ostend presents the same out
ward physical appearance as Lille and
Roubaix. All the mattresses of the
households had been bereft of wool
and all copper ornaments and utensils
had long since been taken away by the
enemy. All the money in circulation
is German.

cruiser Vindictive, SUNK in Ostend

had helped STOP up the entrance to
Zeebruggc ana r. this sinking he did

Gus venture that probably he would
not come back from the place to which
he was going. and he was quite CHEEKY
over the prospect.
Five Foe Dcstroyers Stranded.
Today the vindictive lies where this
brave SON left her. Alongside of her
the Germans recently sank a mailboat,
in order TO stop up the channel en-
trance completely, They also sank the
mailboat Brussels in Icebrusge mar
Dor before leaving there.
A naval officer to landed today on
Ieebrugge mole said TO me that the
British completely bottled the harbor
when they sank ships in it. He also
said it is believed that five German
destroyers are hopelesSly stranded IN
the canal near Client, and they VIII
probably be blown up.
From an officer who brought King
Albert and the Queen of Belgium to
Ostend, | heard of the fearlessness Of
these rulers while the city was still I'M

in the harbor when they arrived at
dark. but they made light of them. On
landing they made a surprise visit to
the town hall, where the people soon
assembled and gave them heartfelt
welcome.

CHILDLESS BENEDICTS
FACE FULL WAR DUTY

Whether ~chi1dless husbands origin
ally put in class 4 of the draft will be
reassigned to class 4 depends upon the
discretion Of the local boards, accord
ing to K. K. Curtis Of the first divi-
sion board.
The original law and subsequent
rulings Of the provost marshal gen
eral provide that if a mans wife is
mainly dependent upon his support
he is put in class 4. A recent ruling
from Washington makes the follow
ing application:
That a man married before May IS,
1917, provided he is without children
is put in class TX. If he has a child
he is put in class 2B, provided child
was born before June S,191S.
Local draft boards in various parts
of the country are reassigning hus-
bands Of class 4 who have no chill
dren to class l. While the law seems
to be explicit on the subject, members
of local boards contend that a man
without children may quite readily
provide for his wife, if he uses his
government months allowance.
Mr.. Curtis is of the opinion that the
board is permitted certain discretion
and may alter classificatiOns and
make corrections without explicit in
structions from Washington.
Although the new work or fight
law has been in effect a week, no
cases have been reported to local
boards. The boards are to be
asked to cooperate with the police in
the enforcement of this law. A letter
received from Gov. E. L. Philip re-
quested the local board to assist in
finding employment and directing la
Dor to farm and industrial work that
is in need of help. The governor also
requested that the boards speed up
the classification of the newly regis
tered men,-Sentinel.
