BOL LSHE WIKI is
GREATELY FEARED

London, Nov. 13-A note OF deep
anxiety lest the situation in Germany
degenerate into Bolshevism was struck
by all editorials in London newspapers
today.
President Wilson's timely counsel"
was hailed with unanimous editorial
approval, and his warning that hunger
leads to madness is quoted as touch
ing a vital chord.
1t is admitted by newspapers OF all
shades Of political opinion that Ger
many must be fed, II only as a bust
ness proposition, because IL she starv-
ed to death she could not pay her
debts.

To INSURE

Plans to Convert Outstanding
Policies at Option of
Holders
PREMIUMS WILL
BE VERY LOW
Cost Expected to Be at Least
25 per cent Under Rates
of Companies.

Washington, Nov 13.-Preparations
by the government for reinsuring the
lives Of soldiers and sailors on their
return have been hastened by the
signing of the armistice Although
regulations, have not yet been fully
drafted, it is certain that each Of the
4,2500,000 men in the military or naval
service, now holding voluntary gov
ernment insurance, will be permitted
within five years after peace is de-
clared, to convert it without further
medical examination, into ordin Try
life, 20-year pay life, endowment ma
turing at the age of 81, or other pre-
scribed forms of insurance.
This insurance will be arranged by
the government. not by private COM
panies, and the cost is expected to be
at least one-fourth less than similar
forms offered by private agencies.
The government will arrange to coll
lect premiums monthly, if men wish
to pay that way, or for longer periods
in advance. This may be done through
postoffices. The minimum amount Of
insurance to be issued probably will
be 81 900 and the maximum $4,000,
with any amount between those sums
in multiples of $500. There will be
provision for payments in case Of dis
ability as well as death, according to
the tentative plan.
The insurance may be purchased by
any soldier, sailor or marine-officer
OF enlisted men-and by women MEM
bers of the army or navy nurse corps,
providing they already hold govern
ment voluntary life insurance.

MILITARY TRAINING QUESTION
MAY FIGURE IN LEGISLATION
EOR QEMORlLiZING ARMY

Washington, Nov. 13.-Plans for re-
organization of the war department
and the army itself are in progress
of formation by the general staff and
will soon be placed before Secretary
Baker. Demobi1ization orders cannot
be promulgated until these plans are
finally completed. Secretary Balper
has indicated that legislation will be
necessary to carry out the reorgani-
zation and he is expected to lay a
definite program before congress at
the earliest possible moment. This
may reopen the whole question OF
universal military training. Many Off
ciaIs anticipate a long legislative
struggle before final action is taken.

Turning from war to peace SO sud
denly that the transition has been al
most bewildering, the nations which
have been enbroiled in the great con-
fict are hastily taking stock of the
situation and planning measures to
meet the problems of the future,
which appear to be no less serious
than thos eof the past.
Germany is insistent in it's demands
that the peace conference be held at
once. DR.. Solf, the foreign secretary,
says that an early settlement of the
questions arising out of the cessation
Of hostilities can save the German
people from famine.
In the interim, however, the Ger
mans are deprived of even civil adj
ministration in the Rhineland regions,
which will be taken over by the allies
until the final adjustment of the re-
suits of the conflict. Allied and Unl-
ted States military authorities will
govern the country from which Ger
many has agreed to Withdraw her
Dictated legions. This new supple
ment to the armistice agreement, it ls
announced, is accompanied by the
surrender of Germany of all her sub
marines. Under the original armis-
IlC6 agreement OnIy Low u -DodJS "CIO

The grim spectre of BolshevikisnI
has appeared out of the turmoil of
revolution in Germany and has re-
ceived recognition in Berlin. This
would seem to indicate that the true
socialistic movement has taken a new
turn, the strength of which is so
great that it cannot be ignored. UP
CHI he wi iCt
elsment was so small in Germany
that it appeared to be negligible.
To guard against disorders in Rus
sian provinces occupied by German
troops, the allies have agreed thar
Germany need not call those forces
home until it is considered safe to
do so.

Vienna that Emperor Charles L has |
