The newspaper, speaking for its par

threatens the United States with re-
venge after the war. The editorial,
which has attracted much attention in
England, says that Germany "has new
.er yielded TO the espionage madness /"
It says:
None of the countries now at war
has entirely escaped an epidemic Of
spy madness and the spy-hunting craze.
But in Germany this was rather fe-
verish phase of The first two or three
weeks OF a state of war unfamiliar to
the populace. Ct was, moreover, a dis

AUTOMATIC INSURANCE
 FOR DROWNED SOLDIERS

Any American soldiers lost on the torpedoed transport were protected by United States Government insurance and Government compensation. Those who had not applied for insurance were covered by au- tomatic insurance which is pay able to a wife, child, or widow ed mother. The automatic in- surance aggregates about $4,- 300, netting $25 a month for 24O months. Insurance that had been applied for is payable to a much larger class of benefici- aries and can go as high as $1O, 900, netting $57.5O a month for 24O months.
 The compensation in case of death, given by the Govern ment without charge and re- gardless of rank or pay, ranges from $2O to $75 a month, based on the number of dependents. Payments under the compensa- tion feature of the military and naval insurance act in case of death are payable to a widow, children, or dependent widow ed mother.
 The automatic insurance ceased February 12, but the compensation feature of the act is a separate provision. The scale of compensation in case of death follows:
 (a) For a widow alone, $25.
 (b) For a widow and one child, $35.
 (c) For a widow and two children, $47.5O, with $5 for each additional child up to two.
 (d) If there be no widow, then for one child, $2O.
 (e) For two children, $2O.
 (f) For three children, $40, with $5 for each additional child up to two.
 (g) For a widowed mother, $2O. The amount payable un- der this subdivision shall not be greater than a sum which when added to the total amount pay able to the widow and children, does not exceed $75.

WARNING AGAINST
 SPINDLE SCHEME

Another scheme for swindl- ing the farmers of the United States has been discovered by the Federal Farm Loan Board. A man advertising himself as an authorized organizer of national farm-loan associations is sending out advertising mat ter emblazoned with the na- tional flag, stating that he will organize such associations at $500 each. and will teach oth- CTS the trick for certain sum of money. His advertisements have reached farmers and business men over a large part of the United States. He claims to be so busy organizing national farm-loan associations that he needs help, but will undertake to teach others for a monetaryconsideration.
 All such representations are fraudulent. In order to borrow under the farm-loan act, it is necessary for farmers to organ ize a cooperative national farm loan association in their local communities. It is a violation of a ruling of the Federal Farm Loan Board, published more than a year ago, for a national farm-loan association or a joint stock land bank to spend any money for promotion purposes. thus organized will not be chartered by the Federal Farm Loan Board. Farmers are warned therefore against anyone asking a fee for his proffered services in connection with applying for a loan under the Federal farm loan act.

The profit to retail dealers in original mill pack ages should not exceed from 80 cents to $1.2O per barrel, de- pending upon the character of service performed. Where re- tailers in amounts less than the original mill package, the gross profit should not exceed 1 cent a pound.
