Red Cross Work
To Be Continued

The TACT that fighting has ceased
Is to in no way Interfere with the
work which must be done by the Red
Cross in the way of refugee work and
taking, care OF our soldiers.
At present the local Red Cross
chapter has an allotment OF sweater
vests to be made for convalescent sol-
diers in the training camps in this
country. There are a number Of the
city circles working on this allot-
ment and q part of it is being taken
care of yFaindividua l workers. The
comfort bags and property bags are
two allotments will probably. be COM
pleted within q short time.
The only department of the Red
Cross which has so far been instruct
ed to discontinue work is that of the
surgical dressings. The division
headquarters advised the! local de-
partment that the supply Of surgical
dressings available in hospitals and
store houses Is sufficient to meet the
demands.
Mrs. G. NJ. Cooley, chairman of the
Grand Forks committee Of the
Fatherless Children in France, stated
this morning that work in this branch
must be continued. There are $500
children to be taken care of, and ev-
cry n who possibly can must do
their part.
The Junior committee of the
'Fatherless Children Of France will
sell Christmas cards for the benefit
of French children. Persons who
wish to buy cards or booklets are
asked to keep this fact in mind as

FOR REINSURlNC
N AMERICAN TRO OPS WHEN They
RETURN ARE NOW BEING MADE

Washington, Nov. 13.-Prepar-
sNttons by the government for re-
lnsuring the lives of soldiers and SAIL
s0rss 0nftheir return have been hasten-
ID by the signing OF the armistice.
Although Regulations have not yet
been fully drafted, it is certain that
each Of the 4,25O,000 men in the
voluntary government will
be permitted within five after
peace is ~declared&to convert it, with
out further medical examination into
ordinary life, twenty payment life, en-
dowment maturing at the age of sc
or other prescribed forms of insur-
Sance.
This insurance will be arranged by
the government and the cost is ex-
pected to be- at. least on%e-fourth less
thap similar forms offered by private
agencies. The low cost will result
from the fact that the government
expenses which for private companies
amounts to about II per cent of the
premium receipts; will save the usual
solicitation fees and in addition bear
the risk resulting from the wounding
or weakening of men while in the
service. Private companies would
not write insurance on many wounded
men, or their rates would be UNI
usually high.
The government will arrange to
collect premiums monthly or for
longer periods in advance. This may
be done through postoff1ces. The
minimum amount Of insurance to be
issued probably will be $1,000 and
the maximum 100000. with any
amount between those sums in null
tiples Of $500. There will be pro-
vision for payments in case of disa-
bility as we'll as death according to
the tentative plan. The insurance
may be purchased by any soldier,
sailor or marine officer enlisted and
by women members of the army or
navy nurse corps, providing they al
ready hold government voluntary
life insurance. About 95 per cent of
the 100000 men in the service are
covered by this insurance which ex-
pires after they go back to civilian
life and\cease paying premiums. This
is the system devised to replace the
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1918-11-13

old pension plan Of providing for ex-
soldiers and sailors.
Thus will be created out of the
governments emergency war insur-
ance bureau the greatest life INCUR
ance institution in the world for
peace times, with more policy hold
ers and greater aggregate risks than
a half dozen OF the worlds biggest
private companies combined.
Out Of the experience gained may
eventually develop expansion Of gov
eminent insurance to old age, indus-
trial and other forms Of insurance, in
the opinion of officials who have
studied the subject. N.a{
Regulations for r%e-insuring re-
turning soldiers and sailors are being
framed by an advisory board to the
military and naval section of the waF
risk bureau consisting Of Arthur
Hunter, actuary of the New York Life
Insurance company; w. A.. Fraser,
Omaha, of the Woodmen Of the
World, and F. Robertson Jones of
the workmen's compensation public
ity bureau, New York.
Plans also are under consideration
for allowing beneficiaries of men who
have died or been killed in the serv-
ice to choose between taking monthly
payments owe a period of twenty
years OF to commute these payments
in a lump sum. b.

TIME FOR ACTION

We Americans are not what may be called pullingll sentimental In or dlnarN times We don't shed tears in our tea when the band plays the Star Npanglcd Banner" and We don't lift our hats when we mention the Prcsi- dent, God bless him" But when the time comes we act.
 And the time for action has come.
 It's no mheard thing for that time 10 come to us.
 II came to America when the Brit ish tried to tax our forefathers with out allowing them a voice in handling their own affairs; it came when France forbade our ships to carry on foreign trade in 1797: it came when England impressed our seamen in 1912; if came when Mexico became ar rogant in 1S46; it came again when brother rose against brother in 1861, and again it came in 1898, when Spain was vanauished and Cuba was made free.
 And now it has come again. We did not invite it. We did not want it But it was thrust upon us and it is here.
 Germany has backed us into a cor ner and has given us TO choice but 10 shoulder our guns and load them. The President has called our men 10 leave their homes and the progressive occupations of peace and to take un the implements of war
 It looks like the road to heaven would lead through the depths of hell but as nation and as individuals we have set our faces in the way that we should go and there will he no turning back.
 Far beyond the smoke of battle, be vOnd the silent rows of newly made graves, beyond the fears. the tears, ,f the present. we must look toward he sunrise of the future We have the making of that future n our hands, the molding of it's glor- ous possibilities. the shaping of it's ! meaning to humankind.
