A New York paper recently sent to
large life insurance companies this
question:
"As rule, other things being equal,
do you consider the habltual user Of
Intoxicating beverages as good an In
surance risk as the total abstainer.
If not, why not" The replies were:
Aetna Life: "No. Drink diseases
the system"
Bankers Life: "No. For habit Is
likely to grow"
Berkshire Life: "No. Drink de-
structive to health"
Fidelity Mutual Life Association:
"No. Less vitality and recuperctlve
powers"
Hartford Life: "No. Moderate use
lays foundation for disease"
Massachusetts Mutual Life: "No.
Drink causes organic changes. Re-
duces expectation Of life nearly two
thirds"
Michigan Mutual: "No. Drink

CHICKENS, BROKEN GLASS AND
LIQUOR

Arrests for permitting chickens to
run at large and for throwing broken
glass In the streets outnumbered the
arrests for drunkenness during the
year 1917 in the city Of Eugene, with
a population of $1,000, says the Morn
ing Oregonlan. The arrests for drunk
enness were only eight for the entire
year. The score against chickens rum
ming at large and against broken glass
was ten. The total number Of offend
ers on the clty's records for the year
was smaller than that reported for
many single days when the city had
saloons, or when the liquor traffic
flourished at Springfield three miles
away. Under the law permitting two
quart shipments every twenty-eght
days there were 25 arrests during 1915.
The last year with the open saloons at
Springfield 266 arrests were made.

DOORS CLOSING TO DRINKING
EMPI IOYEES.

These scientific findings are illum-
mating: at requires Is men indulg-
ing in one glass Of beer daily to do the
work which should properly be done
by IA abstainers." "a drinking man
cannot stand extremes Of temperature
as well he cannot hear or see or smell
rs well; he cannot lift as much or lift
1t as often. He cannot walk as far, dig
as much or carry as enduringly as
though he were an abstinent." Plain
ly, it is for the mutual interests Of
the workman and employer that drink
ing shall cease. More than million
responsible positions in the United
States, it is reliably computed, are
now closed to the man who uses alco-
holic liquors. "There Is as much place
In business for alcohol" afiirms Mr..
Edison, "as for sand in an engine."-

American Army in France.-The
American troops had carried all be-
fore them by late in the afternoon
and had proceeded so fast that cavalry
was thrown into the action. All the
American headquarters staffs at night
were well inside the territory which
the Germans held in the morning.
The Allies have reached, roughly,
the line of Belleau, Courchamps,
Chouy, Villers-Helon, Chaudun and the
heights dominating Scissors.
French cavalry has crossed beyond
the Scissors, Chateau Thierry road to
openings made by the Franco-Ameri'
can forces.
The greatest progress made up to
latest reports was about 10 kilometres,
or little over six miles.
After passing the third detectives
set for the operations Of the morning,
the Americans launched, in coopera-
ton with the French south of. Sois-
sons, second powerful attack at
noon.
Showing the effect OF splendid train
ing, the American troops went forward
swiftly and fought with fury. Nothing
seemed to stop them, especially in the
region of scissors and to the south of
that city. Light and heavy pieces
were moved up as the troops ad-
vanced, and soon after each barrage
ended shells from the American guns
were deluging the enemy's rear areas,
playing havoc with his forces, whether
those in retreat or reserves, endeavor-
ing to come up.
II was open warfare, with all the
attending excitement, and through the
gaps made by heavy guns ar 1 infantry
the French cavalry dashed, beating
down those in their path. Terrific
losses were inflicted at all points on
the enemy. The tanks did all that
was expected of them. The great lum.
bering engines rolled along in front
of the infantry. driving the Germans
before them with streams of bullets
and clearing away many distractions
that had escaped the artillery.
AS the whole German left flank is
menaced the enemy must draw in his
troops from the Marne front or risk
their being caught where they are.
This means that the finishing blow
probably has been administered to his
dying offensive.
The towns of Torcy and Givry and
the Glvry wood were taken by the
Americans in their advance. The final
objectives in the Givry and Torcy
sector were reached in about two
hours of hard fighting.
The troops on this part of the front
did equally as well as those on the
the front further north, taking quaint.
ties of material and prisoners, who
continue streaming back.
Hastily organized counter-attacks
against the Americans developed here
and there, but all were broken up and
our troops continued to advance. In
one town alone on the southern part of
the front under attack the Franco
American forces captured Is guns.

CAUSED BY TORPEDO OR MINE

Point O'Woods, N. Y.-Survivors OF
the United States cruiser San Diego.
sunk 10 miles off Fire Island, declared
that many members of the engine
room crew must have been killed by
the explosion which wrecked the war
ship. They were uncertain whether
the vessel was sunk by torpedo from
a submarine or by mine. The cruiser
remained ahoat SO minutes after she
was struck.
The torpedo or mine struck the
ship just aft of amidship, blowing up
the boilers. One of the sailors de-
clared the guns of the cruiser were
fred at what appeared to be a peris-
cope. The survivors who landed here
numbered 35, including officers. The
captain and first officer Of the San
Diego were the last to leave the sink
ing cruiser
Heavy explosions heard here were
believed to indicate that some of the
patrol boats which dashed to the aid
Of the cruiser had met German sub
marine and were giving battle.
Several barrels of crude oil, one OF
them badly charred, noated ashore
near here, and this was believed to
indicate the possibility that a tanb
steamship also had been sunk.

Washington-Th Navy Department
received information that two steam.
ships which are proceeding to an un-
named port have aboard 1,156 officers
and men of the United States cruiser
San Diego. These are in addition to
the one officer and 80 men previously
reported landed.
The men are said to be in good con-
dition and, so far as known, none was
injured.
Announcement that the cruiser had
been sunk indicated that German sub
marines may again be operating in
American waters.
The vessel itself was not regarded
as a serious military loss. II she was
victim of enemy submarines, how
ever, 1t is obvious that the U-boats
are in the transport lanes and close 70

the San Diego went down 10 miles

definitely establish that the vessel was

cidental internal explosion or other.
wise.
The statement issued by the depart
ment was based on first reports. II
follows:
"The Navy Department has received
reports from the Third Naval District
stating that the U. S. S. San Diego
was sunk 10 miles southeast of Fire
Island Light One officer and two

ing Station No. 80, on Long Island.

appears to have been no loss of life.
The cause OF sinking has not yet been
determined The San Diego was an
armored cruiser Of 1860 tons dis.
placement and carried complement
OF lila officers and men"
The Navy Department would add
nothing to this statement, and officers
professed to have no information as to
the cause of the loss or the number OF
survivors. II was apparent. however,
that officials were prepared to hear
that some lives were lost despite the
optimistic tone of the initial dis.
patches
The return Of the underseas raiders
was not to be unexpected, since the
sinlIlngs of May and June had shown
that the German Admiralty was cap
able Of carrying submarine warfare to
The very doors of America. The Sen
Diego was the first major warship to
be lost since the country entered the
war. None but commercial coastwise
ships fell prey to the submersibles on
the first raid. and in the war zone
none but destroyers, transports and
small patrol boats has been attacked.
Despite reports of attacks on other
ships and that warnings had been sent
70 oastwise shipping to keep close to
the coasts, naval officials steadfastly
maintained they had no information
on which to believe that the sub.
marines had come again.
