The victory of General Allenby m
Palestine is hailed here as model in
conception and execution, his con-
summate use of cavalry being espcc-
tally praised by the military critics.
The immediate effect of the victory
is likely to be the liberation of the
Holy land. for 1t is anticipated that
General Allenby will have little diff.
ficulty in entirely clearing northern
Palestine and be able to relieve his
by establishing a base
at Haifa. whence the railway runs to
Beisan and Damascus. Thus the
whole Turkish railway system in
southern Syria Is controlled by the
anglo French forces in Palestine
The Turkish disaster. it is pointed
out, is bound to have the most pro
found reaction in ConstantInople and
Sofia, and likewise to compromise the
situation of the Turks In Mesopo-
tamia. 1t seems probable also that IT
will terminate the Turkish adventures
in Persia and the Caucasus.

I'VE have had enough oratory on
this question to decide a presidential

Frank j. Hayes, the international
president, said he had promised Far

speech before closing the debate. He
said that when Harrington had ended
his address he would close the debate.
The supporters of the resolution un-
dertook to hold down Harrington when
he arose to speak Question: Ques-
toni" they yelled. This demand broke
into a roar that continued for twenty
two minutes. Harrington stood on the
stage, awaiting an opportunity to
speak
When the disturbance was at its
height, Mother Jones mounted the
stage and seized the gavel from the
hand of President Hayes and pounded
the table vigorously for order. But
even Mother Jones was unable to
bring order. When she tried to speak,
the delegates howled her down.

Mother Jones left the stage and led

Hayes she cried:
"Mr. Chairman, this boy is going to

The committee on constitution made
an adverse report on the resolution
(to change the constitution so as to
enlarge the joint wage conference of
bituminous miners and operators) and
after two days debate the convention
adopted the committees report by a
vote of 95s ayes and 554 noes.
Disorder and noise in the conven-
ton delayed the proceedings for twen-
ty-two minutes. 1t was due to an at
tempt of noisy element to prevent
Frank Harrington, president of the
Illinois miners and chairman of the
committee on constitution, from max

his speech. however.
T. J. Smith of the Eastern Ken
tucky-Tennessee district spoke in IA
vor of the committees report. He
has attended more miners conven-
tions than any other man, beginning
in 1878. Smith was interrupted con-
tinuously by the supporters of the res
olution.
John T. Dempsey. president of an
thracite district No. l, in Pennsylva-
mia, opposed the resolution and IA
vored the report of the committee.
He said that was the attitude of the
anthracite miners. Dempsey asserted
the anthracite miners wish n continu-
ance of the autonomy of their own
districts, without Interference by the
bituminous mines. But, he added, his
understanding of the resolution was
that it would mean just such interfer-
encc.
1--WE anthracite miners always have
had trouble to convince our operators
that they are not in danger of domi-

Dempsey said. "f you adopt this

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-T The
treasury department issues the fol-
lowing:
A million checks a month will soon
be going forth from the bureau of
war-risk insurance to safeguard
Americas fighting forces and their
families, according to an announce
ment made today by Secretary Nc
Adoo.
To administer the military and naval
| insurance act there has been devel-
oped within the treasury department,
almost overnight, a mammoth war
machine-a war machine three months
old, but already working full blast.
Applications Nearing Four Billions
Up to January II applications for
1888 ,213.000 of insurance had been
received by the military and naval
division of the bureau. This repre-
sents 427,Sl1 soldiers and sailors in
sured by the government against death
and total disability. From 5000 to
$4,000 applications are received daily,
and the average amount applied for
is well above $500, the minimum per
mitted by the act being 81 900 and
the maximum $4,000.
With a concerted effort now in
progress to make Americas fighting
| forces 100 per cent insured" these
totals, great as they are, are regarded
as only a beginning. The distribution
of the official insurance certificates
to all persons insured will be started
| shortly. The usual elaborate, intri-
cate and lengthy policy has been aban-
doned in favor of simple and COM
pact certificate, behind which all the
resources of the United States are ar
rayed.
-Four Measures in One.
The act which the bureau is admin
Istering is in reality four measures Co
ordinated for a common purpose. The
| first is a system Of allotments and al
| lowances, in which the fighter and the
government are partners, for the care,
| during the war, Of the enlisted mans
[ family. This work alone is keeping
more than 500 persons in the bureau
| busy. Fifteen minutes after the reg
ular day staff finishes work at 4:45
o'clock the night staff comes on, TO
work until midnight. The bureaus
entire night shift numbers about 500
employees.
More than 100000 allowance and
allotment checks have already been
sent out by the bureau. Up to De
cember 81, 1917, the bureau had re-
ceived about 100000 of the informa-
ton blanks which must be nlled out
| by every enlisted man in the army
and navy In 800 900 of these cases
awards were made, the other enlisted
men not having any dependents en-
| titled to allowances under the act. At
least $500 900 in monthly allowance
and allotment payments has already
been received by the families of en-
! listed men. The distribution of these
checks began on December %, the first
batch reaching their destinations on
or before Christmas.
Daily Mailing Capacity.
As many as 25,000 allotment and
allowance awards are often made in
one day. The disbursing office can
sign 10000 checks in one day and put
more than 10000 checks into the
mails. The average allotment and al
lowance check amounts to S25 or $50.

When this showed the report
adopted. 95S to 554, delegate de-
manded roll call. but the rules of
the convention required that demand
for roll call must be supported by
800 delegates. Fewer than 500 dele
gates stood up when they We're asked
whether they wished q roll call.
President Hayes declared the report
of the committee adopted. Hayes
pointed out that roll call would con-
sumo at least days time and cost
about $4,000. The constitution COM
mittee then proceeded with the re-
mainder Of its report.
