SOLDIERS TAKE
BILLIONS OF
INSURANCE

w. r. Hillery, vice president of the
Bank of Alaska, Is in receipt of a let
ter from Andrew A Benson. of New
York. one of the state vice presidents
of the American Banks association
and also one of the stockholders Of
the local institution, in which he ex-
plains the work he is at present en-.
gagged in for the government in con.
nection with war insurance plan for
the soldiers. He says:
For several weeks, have been in
Washington, and a very considera BILE
part of my time was spent in outlin-
ing the organization of the Bureau OF
War Risk Insurance of the lives of
soldiers AS you doubtless know. the
government is going to insure the
soldiers, and make an allowance for
such soldiers as allot part of their pay.
1t is an enormous undertaking, for
insurance will have to be written on
about two million soldiers. and allow
ances wiz have to be paid to between
five hundred thousand and million
families of soldiers When 7 left we
had been writing insurance for about
twenty days, and applications were on
hand for over one billion, two hun.
dred million. BY the middle of Feb.
ruary, they will probably have writ
ten fourteen billions of insurance. My
services for the government are per-
formed without remuneration, except
that they pay my expenses.

GERMAN WOMEN
CQNSCRIPTED
AFTER WAR
(By associated Press

COPENHAGEN, Jan. S.-Plans for
general conscriptiOn of women after
the war are being made in Germany.
and there is a general feeling that
girls, as well as boys, will be com
PEELED to undergo regular period of
training corresponding to the Ger
man youths service In the army. The
service proposed for girls is not mill
tary, but civil. 1t is proposed that
all women should, preferably at the
age of II, be taken from their homes
and compulsorily trained" either in a
profession. a trade, or in household
duties.
The characteristic German Division
between rich and poor is maintained
in the project Girls OF the upper class
es are to be trained in special insti-
tutions: poor girls will go to factor
les or be placed in private households,
where their employers will give them
a trifle of pocket money and make
contribution to the state.
The idea meets with wide commen-
dation in the German newspapers. but
one English critic notes that there
is some difference between male con-
scription which puts man into a
regiment run by and for the state,
and a female conscription which
makes a girl work without wage for
the profit of private individuals. The
latter cannot with accuracy be called
anything but slavery"

LONDON, Jan. 8.-Partial dismem-
berment of Rumania, control of the
Danube river and domination of Ser-
bia, are the Hungarian war aims as
defined in the Budapest Hirlap. organ
of Count Stephen Tisza, formerly
Premier of Hungary.
1--WE want part of Rumania, an
area of about $1,000 square kilome,
ters, including Buzen, Dabolotza and
PrahovO," declares the newspaper
"Why? Because it is preferable for
us to have a frontire near Bucharest
The cannon will roll better descend
ing the Carpathians. The Rumanian
fox must not play the role of the
wolf between the Magyar town of
Buzen and the Bulgarian Dobrudja.
The richest oil wells are there. and
the best salt mine is at Prahovo.
Then we want 10000 square kilo-
meters near Orsova and in the elbow
of the Danube. Why? Because 1t is
preferable that our door should be
shut Let us posses the Danube in
common with the Bulgarians, in or
der to make the Berlin agdad route
more sure.
I'm the peace treaty we must be
assured of a twenty years right TO
construct an Austro-Hugarian canal
across the Moravo-Vardar valley,
which must be under our administra-
ton and control. To make this GER,
tain we shall demand that the Serbian
army be permanently suppressed and
the Serbian throne occupied by SOW

ALLIES ARE READY
FOR GERMAN
OFFENSIVE
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Secretary
Baker, in his weekly war review, says
it is expected that the German of
fensive on the western front will be
their greatest assault, but that the
British and French can be relied upon
to withstand the shock. He says the
British and French have steadily
pushed ahead through sixteen fierce
battles with cumulative gains. He be-
lieves that the offensive is probably
being delayed for the massing of sup
plies and says the French success on
the Italian front have turned the
scale against the Teutons.

FOOD FAMINE IS
THREATENING
AUSTRIA
tBv Associated Press)

ZURICH, Switzerland, Jan. S.-Vi-
emma newspapers report Austrias near
approach to famine in eggs, vege-
tables, sugar, bread and milk. AS a
result of poor and insufficient food
there is said to be a large increase
in skin diseases manifested in boils,
ab2esses, and eczema.
The working capacity of the labor
ers in mines and munition plants, and
the health of the children is serious
ly menaced Any further deterior-
alton of the food supply is bound to
have inconceivably grave conse-
quences, say Austrian papers.

TOPOGRAPHY Of
MOON REACHED
BY TELESCOPE.
(By Associated rress)

PASADENA, Cal. Jan. 8.-Details of
the moons topography hitherto be-
yond the reach of the most powerful
telescopes were revealed when prelim-
mary tests were made recently of the
new telescope with its 100-inch re-
flector, now being installed at the
Mount Wilson solar observatory, near
here, according to Prof Frederick H.
Scare of the observatory staff.
A number Of fittings and appliances
yet to be installed will delay use of
the telescope, said to be the largest In
the world, until next spring but in
tests made since installation of the
of which required nine years OF deli
cate manipulation, it has given highly
satisfactory results, Prof. Searer said.
Until the new telescope is complet-
ed no scientific observations will be
attempted with 1t and no detailed re-
ports will be made as to astronomical
phenomena revealed in test observa-
-tions.
Most OF the parts required to COM
plete the instrument are being made
in the instrument shops of the OBJ
servatory here by staff experts.

LABOR

TOXIC, Jan. 8.-The building of the
superdreadnaught Nagato has had to
be abandoned for the time being on
account of shortage of labor. This
seems almost unbelievable in japan
but the rapid rise in wages has been
most marked in shipyards, and the
workmen have left the naval docks at
the Kure arsenal for employment in
private companies which pay higher
wages.
