If You Should Die To-
day Who Would Sup
port Your Deepen
dents

If you expected to die you would
come to my office and put in your
application for 100000 life in
surance. Nothing could stop you.
You would, if necessary, borrow the
money to pay the premium. I would
not have to tell you it was your
duty to your family to insure your
life; you'd tell it to me. You
would tell me more things about the
importance Of life insurance than l
could tell you in q week-what a
fool a man is who will put thing
like that off; if he loved his wife
and children or his mother he surely
would provide for them in case Of
his death. How good you would
feel if you had a policy in some
good company. Amy man or woman
can afford to put aside a small am
cunt each year to pay their prem
ium. If you put your money in
life insurance policy in an old line
company you cant lose. If you die
your loved ones viii get the full
face value of your insurance poll
cy. If you live out the term OF
your policy you will get your mon
ey back, which fact should convince
you of the great mistake you are
making by putting off this import
ant matter.
I offer you a policy in the New
York Life, the largest insurance
company in the world; writing the
greatest volume Of insurance and Of
fering the most liberal policy con-
tract.
Don't put this matter off. Let
me explain to you what the New
York Life can offer you at a very
small cost.

BELIEVE FOE INTENDS TO
ABANDON THE OFFENSIVE
Ability in Doubt-Thirty- Five
Necessary Divisions Not
Forthcoming.

London. Aug 16.-The Withdrawals
on the western front by the Germans
in the past few days, 1t Is believed
here, indicate that the enemy intends
to abardon the offensive. 1t Is said
to be doubtful whether he will be able
to resume the offensive, since thirty
five divisions now are necessary be-
tween the Disc and Ancre. of which
fifteen are from the reserves. There
are now only sixteen fresh enemy di-
visions in reserve on the entire west
ern front, and only eleven Of these be-
long to the army proup of Crown
Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria.
Military observers say there is ev-
cry indication the Germans intend to
stand on their present line. There is
a possibility, however that they may
fall back TO the Divette. small tribu-
tary Of the Disc, which joins 1t south
OF Noyon. The French now hold all
the high ground in that region.
IL is said that the British are SO
close to Chaunes that the enemy can
not use the town. Almost all the rail
communications in the Peronne region
have been rendered useless by the al
lies.

B0CHES TURN
METAL CH0ULS
Graves PiIIaged for Precious
Metals and Lead Stripped
From CoffinS,
HUNS LEAVE CHAOS BEHIND
Decentralization Marks Retreat.
Signs Everywhere Show Fer
ment of Teutonic Mind.

(By Bert Ford. International News
Service STAFF Correspondent
With the British Army on the Pic
ardy Front. Aug. 16.--"Metal ghouls"
have become common in Germany.
Graves are pillaged for precious met
ais. Lead is stripped from collins.
Jewelry Is ripped from bodies. The
seriousness of the German metal
shortage has brought about precarious
pursuits.
The shortage OF metal is shown by
the conditions of the villages recap
tured by the British in their recent
drive. Officers report that vaults in
the cemetery at Mezieres have been
broken into and the lead stripped from
the collins.
Prisoners admit taking iewelsy from
the bodies. At CaiN n dump several
kilometers in extent was found full Of
material, including lead stripped from
the houses. The Germans have nightly
been robbing this dump in an attempt
to destroy the material which they
were forced to abandon in their hasty
retreat.
The decentralization marking the re-
treat OF the German armies Is force
fully shown in chaos they leave be-
hind. Everywhere there are signs
pTONlnS uHillhtthdbiN lht i'ili'hl Va
the Tcuton mind. Batteries are aban-
doned. Maps. charts and important
papers are scattered here and there.
Even boots and other personal effects
are abandoned In the wild exodus.
There is plenty Of evidence that the
Germans will retreat all the way back
to the Hndenburg line. Wednesdays
evacuation OF their forward positions
at Beaumont Hamel. Serre. Puissieux
and Bucquoy strengthened this belief.
The German withdrawal covers front
OF 1000 yards to depth of more than
! 900 yards. The British forces are
pushing on and keeping in close touch
with the Germans. Considerable
ground yielded by the Germans is To-
Gated between Albert and Arras.
North OF the Ourcq river, some of
the bitteYest fighting in the war took
place. The British losses were heavy
in that region. The enemy's swift, ST.
lent retirement for the purpose of taxi
ing stronger positions in the rear
caused some surprise. Recently the
Germans also evacuated their POSI-
tions in the Hebuterne sector.

The French are slowly encircling

The French advance at Villers-
Les-Roye makes the fall of Roye
inevitable, it is believed by mill
tary men. Possession of the town
by French troops would make
necessary a rectihcation of the
German lines and retreat to the
Neslc-Noyon would be probable.
The Germans are clinging des-
perately to a range of hills east of
Ribecourt. They are also stub
bonrly defending the Lassigny-
Oise canal, the loss of which
would entail the evacuation of
Noyon.

VIGOROUS COMB-OUT
ORDERED BY GERMANY
Special Purpose to Get More In.
fantry Reserves-Enemy
High Command Anxious.
(Associated Press.)

With the British Army in France,
Thursday. Aug. 15.-Germany has ac-
knowledged that her manpower. once
SO freely wasted, now is dwindling in
proportions great enough apparently
to cause considerable anxiety to the
high command. The toll taken. par
ticularly in recent fighting. by the al
lied armies and the prospect of being
confronted by growing American
forces has led Gen. Ludendorn to is
sue most imperative orders for n Wig
orous, immediate comb out in the Ger
man army In order to recover from
auxiliary units all men capable of en-
tcring the trenches. The comb out,
says the order issued by Gen. Luden-
dorff first consideration will be given
to men over 43 who have served In the
front lines longer than six mo.'ths He
announces that commissions have been
appointed to investigate the entire sit
uation, including men of every rank.
All men available for the infantry
must be sent to depots In Belgium. the
special purpose of the high command
being to get more infantry reserves.
Appended to the order are special
instructions to Field Marshal Won
Mackensen and Gen. Won Scholtz to
make "a greater demand upon the To-
cal personnel" instead of using Ger
mans in the auxiliary services as re-
inforcements.
