OF SOLDIERS

. Soldiers Have Neglected
This important Matter 1t
May Yet Be ReInedied

The following letter has been receiv-
ed by w. G. Dyer's, insurance agency
and deals with the matter of soldiers
Insurance. 1t is of sufficient public in
terest to warrant publication.
To the Representatives of the TRAY
elers Insurance Company:
A letter by the Honorable VIM. G.
MeAdoo, secretary of the treasury, an
nounces the appointment of a committee
of Insurance Executives to direct cam
paign to place the government insur-
anee with all enlisted men and commits.
stoned Officers of the army and navy
and members of the army and navy
Nurse Corps.
The chairman of the committee is
our vice president, Mr.. John l.. May,
who writes me from Washington sug-
gesting that every man in our. organ
ization can do effective work for the
cause by arousing the families of our
fighting forces to the importance of
urging the soldiers and sailors related
to them to avail themselves of the max
imum protection offered by the govern
ment, and by bringing it to the atten-
tion of the men still at home waiting
the call to service, and to men who are
on furlough. The most pressing part
of this duty is to call attention to the
fact that the application for this in
surance must be made before February
12, 1918.
1 is gratifying to realize the valuable
work accomplished by you in the Lib
erty Loan subscriptions and what you
are now doing in the Thrift campaign.
These, with the assistance given to the
Red Cross and the Y. M. G. A. make a
record of honorable service for the COM
pany and its representatives. Your abil-
ity and your experience give you an op-
portunity now to render further service
to our soldiers and sailors and their
families.
This insurance can be taken in
amounts from $1,000 to $4,000 and
covers death and total disability. The
premium charged, as you are aware, is
exceedingly moderate as the govern
ment has assumed all expenses of ad-
ministration and the cost of the excess
war mortality. The insurance prem
iums can be paid either by deductions
from the man s pay or by member OF
his family.
In view of the time limit within
which application must be made, Feb
ruary IL, 1918, an intensive campaign
Of education is necessary, if the matter
is to be brought home to all who are
entitled to avail themselves of the pro-
lection offered by the government.
More than three billions of insurance
has already been taken, but this total,
great as it is, is but small part of
the amount that should be written.
1t should be impressed upon the men
and their dependents that the so-called
90 Automatic Insurance" furnished by
the government to February II, 1918, is
merely partial and limited protection.
1 am confident that The Travellers
representatives, who are so well equip
ped, will enter upon this service most
enthusiastically to the end that all Of
our soldiers and sailors and the members
of the army and navy nurse corps may
enjoy the full war insurance protection
proffered by the government.
Sincerely,
L. F. BUTLER,
President.

Salem Testimony Remains Unshaken

which will come straight home to many

her tonnage will be used to relieve the
stress on the allies. This however, will
add only about 250,o0O tons. Negotia-
tions are in progress with Spain and
Norway and other Scandinavian coun-
tries to bring about similar arrange

But the step most favored by shipping
board officials is to cut to the bone i'm
ports Of non essentials thus forcing into
the allied trade neutral ships which do
not wish to remain idle.
Pressure has been placed upon Great

You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole

full is all that is required. 1t makes
