FIGHTING FOR US
No Advantage Must be Taken Of Sol
ders or Sailors.

Giving sweeping protection 10 Uncle
SANS fighting men the so-called SOL
dicrs' and sailors civil rights bill has
been approved by congress. President
Wilson's signature is expected within
| Il day or so.
Under the provisions of the bill
fighting men and their dependents are
protected against eviction for nom
payment of rent: loss of life insur-
ancr through delayed premiums: the
lcXccution OF mortgages against their
property: loss of home on which part
payment has been made: loss of prop
crty through non payment OF taxes;
or loss of n homestead through alb
Scncc or nom payment of fees.
All this protection is given on the
condition that q mans normal ability
TO meet his obligations has been ma
tcrially affected" by his military
service.
The measure has been before con-
gress almost since the first OF the
war. Difficulties of drafting 1t. and
the protests OF certain insurance,
building company, loan company and
similar interests. delayed its passage.
With the war risk insurance bill, 1t
Is declared by administration leaders
to make up the most liberal legisla-
ton in protection of nations fighters
in history. Its final approval was by
unanimous vote.
Its most important features follow:
\ lawsuit cannot be settled against
a man who is unable to appear by rea- :
son Of military service. Courts must
appoint attorneys for such defendants.
\ lawsuit began by n person who
later enters military service may be
postponed until the man in service is
able TO give personal attention.

a court so decides after an investiga- :

Instance is defined to include ben-
efits from fraternal or benefit socie-
ties as well as commercial life insur-
lance. Nor payments due to military
service shall not invalidate the policy
up TO one year after the close OF the
war.
Non-payment OF taxes cannot result
in the sale of fighters property. This
includes assessments and levies OF
every sort for either national, state
or local governments.
Mine claims. timber claims and farm
claims all are guarded against fore
closure by the government. either for
failure to perform work. absence. nom
payment OF fees. or failure to make
improvements.
General provisions are made that
courts may enter such judgments IN

TO the debtor and creditor. Making
of reasonable arrangements instead OF
enforcing the absolute provisions OF the
act against either party to suit under
the bill Is encouraged.
