The time for insurance eX- pircs February l2. and million men still have not applied for protection for themselves and their families This action is designed not only for the protection of dependent ones at home, but for the removal from the fighting men of one very large cause for worry. Those at home are urged, therefore, to insist upon the taking out of war insurance al once, for the time Is very short.

EMDARGODELAYS SHIPMENT IF
 RED METAL
BAN ON EASTERN ROUT- INGS LIFTED YESTER- DAY AND TRAINLOAD OF
 COPPER LEAVES CLARK DALE FOR NEW JERSEY.
lFrom Tuesday's DaiIyO

lFTOn uGSQdy Odlil.i
 \ trainload of 30 cars of copper bullion from tie Clarkdale shelter and bound for points in New Jersey, was yesterday afternoon started on its way after having been hung up fot a week or more owing to the fact that an embargo had been placed upon such shipments destined to points along the Atlantic seaboard. The To- cal management of the Santa Fe yes tcrday received orders to send out the shipment of the Clarkdale pro- duct at the first possible moment and a few hours after the notice came in the bullion had begun its journey.
 According to General Manager Drake. there are now but four com- moditics which can be started East with any reasonable assurance that they will reach the consignce within a reasonable period of time, the four being foodstuffs. (including cattle), copper, fuel and war munitions. MT. Drake understands that the unprec- edcntcd freight congestion is being cleared away to some extent by req son of the fact that McAdoO IS using every bit of energy at his command 10 clean up the Atlantic terminals of the mountains of undelivered freight, and it is hoped that another month will see a material reduction in the tremendous piles of merchandise which are piled up in practically ev- cry Eastern freight yard, warehouse and dock.
 Mir. Drake states that every day a new list of cmbargoes come into his office, and that yesterday an order came from Washington to the effect that the country north of the Ohio river and cast of the Indiana line, which was closed to freight from the West few weeks ago, had again been opened to goods which might arrive over the Santa Fe, provided, however, that the articles accepted by the Santa Fc did not conflict with .hc orders which had been issued to thc connecting roads regarding simi- lar shipments.
 "So you sce,7 said Nlr. Drake in commenting on the matter yesterday, we have practically no way of know ing what these orders issued to con meeting carriers might be, and so we are as much up in the air over the
 ituation as though we had not re- ccivcd this particular notice. Our freight agents are cndcavoring to keep a line upon what may or. may not be shipped into a certain section of the United States, but it is simply impossible for any human being to go straight in the face of the great mass of contradictory orders which are received daily, and so all ship Ter must bear in mind the fact that when the Santa Fc accepts his ship mcrg it is making ann no promises as to the delivery. The best we can do is to rush 1t to the end of our line, and try to get it through to it's destination, but beyond these meas urcs we have to trust 10 luck"
