made in October, 1912, at the Camp
of Avord, the object then in view be-
irg to render a troop of infantry in

ARMY AND NAVY
INSURANCE MAY BE APPLIED
FOR UP TO APRIL 18TH

Washington, d. c., Feb. 20.-The
unparalleled achiey ement of insuring
approximately one million soldiers
and sailors with the United States
government would have been .mpos-
sible without the hearty support and
urselfish cooperation of the newspa-
pers.
Three quarters o. a million men,
hbwever, are still uninsured. ard on
account of the termination of Auto
matte Insurance on February 18th,
they have now no insurance protec-
ton. The necessity, therefore, for
continued effort is manifest for not
ur til a goal of an American army and
navy one hundred per cent. insured
is attained, will we consider OH" task
completed
The termination of the Automatic
Insurance on February 12, 1918. can-
no, be emphasized too strongly. Any
person in the active military or nav
al service, who Is killed or wounded
after February 18th, is without IN
surance protection unless he has
plade specific application. There Is
immediate necessity for bringing this
to the attention Of all soldiers, sailors
and nurses-all in the active mill
tary or naval service of the govern.
mcnt
Realizing that those in the active
war service at distant points may not
have had reasonable opportunity to
apply, Congress has granted an ex-
tension of 60 days so that II any
mans time for applying would have
expired before April 18th, 1918, he
may make application therefore up ia
ard including April IL, 1918

within the Army and Navy can be re-
Ct responsibility Outside organiza.
tions, however, must not lapse into
Indifference but must continue to ex-
ert every influence on the homes OF
those who are in the service or who
r.ay be called.
The effect on the morale of the
Army and Navy from the conscious
ness of complete protection is DOM
inant force.

EEUEIPTS OF GERMAN
RAILWAYS HAVE INCREASED
SINCE THE WAR BEGAN
(By Associated Press.)

Amsterdam. Feb. 20.-The official
information that the receipts Of the
German railways have increased by
s115, 100000 since the war might lead
people to suppose that the railways
had benefited by the war. The official
reports, however, show that this is
not the case. In consequence of the
advance in wages and in the cost of
ali materials, the profits have not
only been fully absorbed, but there
is an actual deficit which is likely to
increase.

GO TO THE STATE FAIR AT
JACKSONVILLE, FEBRU-
AIRY 26 TO MARCH

If you don't go to Jacksonville and
visit the state fair, you are missing
the opportunity to see the greatest ex-
hibit of all the ages.
The British government has gather.
ed from every front where runs the
thin red line of British soldiers, anc
from all the seas of the seven oceans
where ride the armed ships of Britain
implements of war used by Britain OF
her enemies, and has sent them to the
United States.
In only two other cities of this great
nation has this exhibit been shown
the state fair and exposition at Jack.
sonville is the third to be favored by
having the opportunity to present this
greatest collection of war making i'm.
plements to the public.
If you would see for yourself the
things you have read of-aeroplane
bombs or gas masks-go to the state
fair.
Do you want to know and under
stand what a torpedo director is? Go
to the state fair.
Have you wanted to see one of the
famous tanks that caused such con-
sternation in the ranks of the Huns
You can see the one that was in serv-
ice at the Battle of the Somme, at
the state fair.
Want to look at and know just how
a mine that is used against ships
works, and what it is like? Go on to
Jacksonville and visit the state fair.
Think you'll like to see what shell,
shipper shield, trench tool or grenade
looks like? You can see them all in
the British war exhibit at the state
fair.
From German aiming posts to ma
chine guns and howitzers, all the inn
plements and tools used in modern
warfare, both on sea and land, are in
the British war exhibit at the state
fair. When to all of that is added the
hundreds of exhibits and amusement
features-the band concerts, midway
shows and the other great attractions
all gathered for your benefit. Do
you think you are fair to yourself if
you don't take advantage of it all by
going to Jacksonville and the great
state fair and exposition?
Can you afford to miss it?
