Canadian soldiers did not seem to

The weathef. IT is believed. is
the main reason for Dublin turning

the game were mud from head to

OmcialS OF the Pennsylvania railroad
are taking measures to ascertain the
provisions OF the governments plan to
establish national insurance fund to
cover property and other losses sus-
tanned by railroads
As contained in announcements from
Washington. the plan originated In the
departmet Of Director General McAdoo
AS one OF the economies for government
operation Of the railroads a proposal
for the creation Of q national fund for

renewing Insurance contracts with com.
mercial companies to run longer than
one year.
So far as the Pennsylvania lines are
concerned, the road has maintained It's
own insurance department. for a num-
Der Of years. The Pennsylvania started
a fund In 1879. In the meantime this
fund has grown to 100000
| The question the railroads are seek.
ing TO settle is what the disposition OF
this fund is to be in the event Of the
government including all roads in the
national plan. Should thees roads be
taken into the Federal program, the
money, 1t is contended, should revert
to the general funds Of the roads to be
credited TO the surplus account. On the
other hand, belief is expressed that al
exception may be made where roads dc
their own insuring.
The Pennsylvania carries a liability o.

for the physical property and S60O,OOO
