ENLISTED MEN
 URGED TO TAKE

 of Seattle

The following cablegram was re- ceived yesterday by Ralph E. Rob ertson, from c. D. Stimson, Seattle manager of the American Red Cross "Chaiman American Red Cross:
 Juneau.
 "Only one-fifth all enlisted men have insured under the Federal Insurance Act All others must in sure before February 12th or lose option. Every effort your home service workers and chapter off cers should be devoted to inducing all families enlisted men within your chapters Jurisdiction to write their men, urging that full ten thousand dollars insurance be ta- ken out.
 'C. D. STIMSON,
 Seattle Manager. '
 This indicates that only one fifth of those who were in the armed forces of the nation at the time of the passage of the insur- ance act have availed themselves of the privilege It is urged that every enlisted man take out the in surance to the maximum allowed by law and that the families of those who have not done so take up the matter at once.
 The cost of the insurance is very small, a 5000 premium costing but $6.60 per month. On this amount the return to the family of an enlisted man killed during the war would be practically $55 per month for a period of twenty years.
 All enlisted men in the service at the time of the passage of the act have only until the 18th day of February to avail themselves of the privilege, or 120 days from the time of passage. Those enlist ing at later dates have 120 days from the date of their enlistment to take out the insurance. R. E. Robertson is prepared to give out information on the subject to those desiring.

FALSE ARREST CAUSE OF
 BIG DAMAGE SUIT
From Sundays Daily

Alleging that his reputation and standing in the community had been greatly damaged by reason of false arrest which was brought about by the defendants in Prescott last Aug ust, Leslie Shaver yesterday filed suit in the Superior court against A. L. Garford of Elyria. Ohio, and his local manager, L. \. Butler, asking for damages in the sum of S20,39O. The complaint sets forth the fact that Garford and Butler caused the arrest of the plaintiff on August 6, 1918. on charge of grand larceny Shaver was subsequently, taken before Jus ticc of the Peace McLane and held to the Superior court under a bond Of S3.O00 and in the interim was con fined in the county jail here for a period of 24 hours. On Novembe- 1, the complaint continues, the charges which had been filed against Shaver were dismissed upon motion of the county attorney, and the bondsmcn relieved of further re- Sponsibility.
 The plaintiff in the present action was for a time in the employ of Gar ford, the latter having extensive min ing interests in this county. Last summer, it is alleged, a number of the employees of Garford became cngag- en in certain transactions which re suited in the arrest of at least two of them on charges of selling mine ma chinery and equipment belonging to Garford and embedding the pro ceeds of the sales. If later develop ed that there was not a sufficient amount of direct evidence to connect Shaver with any of the alleged fraudulent transactions. and the dis missal of the charges came about several weeks ago. Shaver asks for punitive damages in the sum of SEQ, 900 and a special judgment of $500 to cover his costs in fighting the ac- ton which had been instituted by Garford and Butler.

YANKEES ARE GREAT
 SOUVENIR COLLECTORS

WITH THE AMERICAN OC. CUPATIONAL FORCES, Nov. 20
 Nearly every Yankee doughboy al
 the front has become a boche sou
 venir hunter and has annexed a quan-
 tity of excess baggage that in some
 cases is appalling.
 The first impulse of a German sol
 dier who decides to retreat or to sur
 render seems to be to get rid of his
 steel helmet, beautifully or wierdly camouflaged as 1t may be- In any column of prisoners to be seen on any road behind the American lines, not over five in any hundred are still wearing their helmets All have donned the soft slouch cap that so detracts from their soldierly appear ance.
 The helmets are dropped, thrown away in haste. and all but clutter up the battlefield. Nearly every Ameri- can soldier who has been fighting al the front either has a German hel- met by now, or has sent one home For under a new ruling by general headquarters it is now possible to paste home address on a German helmet, drop the headgear into the mail box and send it to mother, sis ter or sweetheart Just how many have gone home. ostensibly as the personal booty of the sender, it would be hard to say.
 Many of the helmets are interesting to say the least. Many boche sol diers have in their idle hours painted and camouflaged their head pieces until they have wierdly odd appear ance. The German helmet has vast ly more surface space than the the British or the French It has protection for the ears and neck in the shape of a rim or cx- tension, so that quite little picture can be drawn on it.
 The most popular camouflage is ? series Of two-inch stripes that meet at the top of the helmet and ex- tend, like the ribs of a fan, outward and downward to the edges of the hat. Tn other cases the entire sur face space is painted into squares Of yellow, green and gray. or in all the colors of the rainbow. The com posite effect is startling. These are the most coveted of all souvenir hel- mcts, and the doughboy who has not the opportunity of finding one on the battlefield gladly gives sack of tobacco for one.
 Shoulder straps make another in teresting and easily portable sou venir, though they are also of dis tinct military value because they help 10 identify the units that have been opposed to the Americans. Yet there are enough for this purpose and to spare, and they arc eagerly sough; by the soldier wo does not care to be burdened with heavy helmet in additions 10 his own.

FLU NEARLY STAMPED f OUT AT FORT WHIPPLE
 (Ernrn Saft1rd..r-s DaiiuI

There are but Y cases of influenza among the men at Fort Whipple and
 no new cases have manifested them
 selves during the past eight days. according to an announcement made last night by Commandant Col. C. E. Holmberg. The situation at the post, so far as the flu is concerned, is the best that it has been since the time of the original outbreak of the disease and were it not for the fact that the flu is raging among the local civilian population, the quarantine, which has been effective at the post for more than six weeks past, would be lifted at once.
 During the past weeks, the influ- enza victims at Whipple have num- bered as high as 75 or 80 at time, but due to the untiring work of the highly trained corps of army doctors connected with the hospital, the dis case has been all but stamped out, land a recurrence of the alarming among the enlisted men is not anticipated by the commanding officer. There have been perhaps twelve men who have died at the post as result of the epidemic, but the large number of men now stationed there, the low death rate is really remarkable and attests to the good work done by the physi- clans and nurses there.
