An Allied Weakness

Charlton Bates Strayer in Leslie $.
 German strength is not yet exhaust ed, and in spite of the masterly strate- ~y of Petain and Foch which has knocked into cooked hat Luden- dorffs drive on Paris, there is sill an element of weakness in the allied man. cement of the war. Colonel Reping- ton foremost British military cr!tic, touches upon this vulnerable spot He says the so-called supreme war council cannot be supreme until America is represented on it by a statesman with powers equal to those of his col leagues" America has representa- tive. Who he is, not one person il, q thousand knows. He should be man of wide experience and international reputation. statesman like Elinu Root or a soldier statesman like G9n. Leonard Wood. If a man of this type were our representative on the su
 preme war council. every one would know it and be proud of it. In the second place, Colonel Repington says the American representative should have powers equal to those of his col leagues. America had influence in ere ating the war council why should we withhold adequate power to our repre- sentatives upon it? Colonel Reping- ton says we should then look ahead, and having determined the military force that will be needed to finish the war victoriously in 1919 or 1920, the council should allot to each ally it's right proportion of effort T am not confident our military problem is be- ing approached in this manner" ssaid he. and if it is not then I think we are in the rut of our old errors and the campaign will be needlessly post poned." The suggestions of Colone, Repington are worthy of study ar Washington. Let politics be adjourned.

We are told of wonderful new things that our experts have contrived, that will be deadlier and more effective than Germanys gas or aircraft or submar- ines. The German advantage is in pro- ducing immense quantities of the things that she has found to proveN effective. Last month it was announced that the United s States government had taken control of the chlorine-gas industry. The manufacture of aircraft is begin ming to show practical results. If the war is to continue through another year or more we shall be able to out do the Germans in the making of war appliances, especially aircraft. Time is with the Allies.

 We are rapidly proceeding to fill up the camps and cantonments with newly drafted men, as they are emptied by the constant movement of division after division to the Atlantic transports From this time forth the question of supplies of all kinds is likely to be rela

The Germans have been making great gains this year, so 1t is asserted, through their superiority in the development of the chemical indus tries which supply them with gas shells and bombs. particularly of the kind known as mustard gas" We believe in America that our men, other things being equal, are better fighters than the Germans.

SAN FRANCISCO-The naval aux
iliary of the Red Cross has asked ex-
perienced knitters to devote their
time exclusively to knitting socks for
the next sixty days. 1t has been
found that the hand knitted socks
will outwear those made by machines.
1t has become quite the thing for
men to knit and many of them have
become adept in the art. Gonzales
cents at the Letterman General hos
pital at the Preside have become en-
thusiastic knitters and claim to have
discovered a method of binding on
which is easier than the way the wo-
men do 1t.
While knitting in public places
such as on the cars and ferryboats,
in hotel Hobbies and theaters is con-
fined to the women, number of
club men are among those who have
mastered the handling Of needles in
the privacy Of their clubs. None, as
yet, has had the hardihood to appear
in public although it is claimed that
at a recent lecture there were five
who braved the attention they at
tracted to themselves.

SOLDIERS IN
LEAD AGAIN
CAMPAIGN JUST CLOSED SHOWS
MORE THAN 80 PER CENT
ARE INSURED
INSURANCE PACE IS SET
$1,000 MEN TAKE Policies, MOST
OF THEM BEING FOR
$4,000

CAMP LEWIS-Despite the fact
that 81 per cent of the 32,15O men al
Camp Lewis were signed up for a
total of 282,00O,0OO war risk insur-
ance, the campaign which had as its
slogan Insure every officer and SOL
der in the 91st division" did not re-
lax until the last minute. When the
time limit expired February IL there
were but comparatively few unin-
sure soldiers in the contonment. Fig
ures will be available soon giving the
total insurance written for the men
of the "Wild West" Division.
During the closing week Camp
Lewis led every cantonment in the
United States, although closely press
ed by Camp Upton, New York. The
latest figures showed that 31,209 men
at his camp had taken out policies.
The great majority are insured for
the maximum of $4,000.
Many organizations claim the dis
tinction of being 100 per cent insured.
This means that every man in the
company holds policy and all but
one or two have the maximum. Those
who failed to take the maximum al
ready were carrying policies in old
line companies. Company command
ers approached by men seeking to
transfer into their units recently
have made it point to ascertain that
the applicant carried $4,000 policy.
Enlisted men who failed to take out
insurance are not sought by any or
ganization.
During the final days of the cam
paign in behalf of insurance many
methods of interesting the delinquents
were adopted. Films were exhibited
at the Liberty Theater portraying the
benefits Of insurance, brief talks were
made between acts at regimental en-
tertainments in the 'Y's," and the
men were exhorted by their officers
and by placards in barracks to in
sure.
The maximum policies cost the men
approximately 9O mOutuly, uSpOlluAI6
on the age. In event soldier carry
ing $4,000 insurance makes the SUI
preme sacrifice, his dependents will
receive $3.50 per month for 20 years.
The policy calls for the payment OF
this sum to the soldier should he be
totally disabled during the war.
Within five years of the close of the
war the policy holders will have the
privilege of converting their policies
into any form of insurance prescribed
by the government, without medical
examination. Such converted policies
will be at net premiums computed in
accordance with the American expert
ence table of morality and will provide
for cash, loan, paid-up and extended
insurance values.
