BRITAIN TO PAY HUGE
SUMS IN PENSION ROLLS

London. July 20.-Great Britain will
have TO pay $3.50. ooo.0 900 a year in pen
sions If the war ends by next March.
according to an estimate made by A.
Bonar Law. chancellor OF the exche-
quer. Sir Alfred W. Watson, a gov
eminent actuary, estimates that hy
1880 the annual pension charges will
have fallen TO $500. 200, 900 and that
each succeeding decade will show a
reduction OF s5o.ono.ooo, but that these
pensions will not have entirely disap-
peared by 1870.
Fifteen thousand cases OF war dis
abled soldiers are reported each week
TO the minister OF pensions. The to
tai number of disabled British men on
the list is now placed at s41,o25. Of
which Is per cent were cases OF In

Limitless Resources of Florida
AS Compared With Kansas

American railroad. In Florida the
sugar could be put in the car and with
one handling go direct TO any point
in the United States.
Not only could Florida produce the
sugar consumed in every American
home, but it could supply rice, an
other staple and potatoes and fruits
and vegetables TO give amending var
iety to the diet demanded by the
American stomach.
Florida produces corn and cotton,
world necessities, the by-products of
which multiply with each succeeding
year.
Florida is the land of flowers and
gardens Roses bloom in the winter
time and each month has it's bloom in
bush or vine or towering tree. The
genial climate allows outdoor work in
every month and the garden lover
can enjoy life as nowhere else in the
United States. Like the love of books,
pictures and music the love of gar
dens comes with culture and ripening
of home life.

INSURANCE To NIL
SEAMEN ENFORCED

The treasury department authorizes
the following:
Secretary McAdoo has announced an
order in regard to the protection Of
fered by the bureau of war risk insur-
ance TO the masters, officers and the
crews of American merchant vessels.
and also a reduction in the rates of
insurance on fishing vessels, both as
to cargoes and vessels.
The new order makes it obligatory
for the owners of all American mer-
chant vessels leaving Atlantic and
Gulf ports in the United States for any
ports whatsoever. and vice versa, in
GLIDING vessels engaged in coastwise
traffic, to insure the masters, officers
and crews against the loss of life or
personal injury, or capture caused by
the risks Of war.
Heretofore this insurance has been
compulsory only for vessels trading
between the nited States and various
European ports and certain designated
parts of Africa.
Boats on Fishing Trips Excepted.
All American merchant vessels leav-
ing Atlantic and Gulf ports come un-
der the new rule, except fishing ves-
sells while on trips simply for the pur-
pose of catching fish. Vessels engaged
in the transportation of fish are not
excepted.
The rates charged by the bureau of
war-risk insurance for protection Of
masters, officers and crews of steam
ers range from one-half of a cent per
800 of insurance for Atlantic coast
wise trips and three-fourths of cent
per 500 for trips to Gulf ports. UP to
Is cents per 500 for steamers cross
ing the war zone.
The rates charged for the protection
of the officers and crews of sailing
vessels engaged in coastwise trade are
double those charged for steamers.
The new order goes into effect on
July 10 for vessels sailing from the
United States and on July % for YES
sells sailing from foreign ports.
More Than 10000 Now Insured.
More than 10000 officers, masters
and seamen on American merchant
vessels have already been protected
by policies issued by the bureau of
war-risk insurance. The liberal terms
and the broad protection of this in
surance are squirting on recruiting for
Americas merchant marine.

No Child Labor In
Government Work

The national child labor committee
looks upon the new ruling of the war
policies board distinct step for
ward in the effort to obtain protection
for American children. This ruling
specifies that in all contracts for gov
eminent work the contractor shall not
employ any children in violation of
the terms of the federal child labor
law which has been declared uncon-
stitutional by the supreme court. That
is, The contractor shall not directly
or indirectly employ in the perform
ance of the contract any minor under
the age of IA years, or permit any
minor between the age of IA and Is
years to work more than eight hours
in any one day, more than six days in
any one week or before a. m. or after
z p. m
Owen r. Lovejoy, secretary Of the
national child labor committee, in
commenting on this ruling said:
The government again puts itself
on record as strongly opposed to the
employment of children. 1t is part Of
the war program that the children
must be kept from feeling the effects
of the war, either through a lowering
of their health, or through loss of edu-
cation or premature work in factories
and mills. The action of the supreme
court in declaring the federal child
labor law unconstitutional left the
children without any national mea-
sure of protection. and we know that
many of them have been sent back
to the mills and factories from which
they were taken last year. But now
that the war policies board has auto
matically restored the provisions of
the federal law in all government con-
tracts. we may look forward conf
IDENTIFY to success in our effort to OBJ
tain a new national law"
Julia C. Lathrop. chief Of the chill
dren's bureau, says with regard to the
ruling:
This action affords a large mea-
sure of protection and is very en-
couraging"
