Draft Boards Must
Instruct. Selectives as
to War Insurance
.tBy E. G. Dougherty.l

;
Washington. Aug. 9.-The United
States government wants every one Of
Its fghting sons to properly provide
for the dependents and loved ones left
behind when they come into the mill
tary service and expect to see service
with the liberty army of Americans in
France and Italy. and soon to be Rus
sia- To bring this about, offers have
been made by Secretary OF the Treas
ury McAdaa to inform local draft
boards Of the provisions OF the war
risk insurance act which is on the
statute books for the pnrpose<of pro-
Sidins financial means to families Of
soldiers and sailors.
While there may be delays in the
forwarding Of checks to dependents,
efforts are daily being made to expe-
dite these to the addresses Of those
persons entitled to them. but all the
blame should not be attached to the
government. Instance after instance
has been found where the individual
soldier has failed to make application
for war risk insurance>and their allot-
ments and allowances, and without the
soldier himself taking the Initiative It
can hardly be expected that the gov
eminent can fulfil its obligation.
!, In order that every man may be ac-
quainted with the provisions Of the
act Of congress giving financial assist
ance to soldiers families. Treasurer
McAdoo has addressed the following

service, as described by Marshal Joffre.
One hundred sections were to be
trained in the driving Of ambulances,
carrying of filters and first aid to the
wounded.
Two score colleges were combed for
the pick OF men and more than $500
were soon on hand.
Units OF basteriologists were re-
cruited from among the chemists in
camp. Hospital units of various kinds
came here for training or prior to de-
payture abroad.
Today the camp is Strictly medical
and men are in training for all
branches In this service. There arb
laboratory units, whose work will be
designed to prevent disease or combat
IT should new problems arise: field
hospitals units; evacuation hospital
units and organizations to conduct
base hospitals far behind the lines The
men now are being secured principally
from the medical camps at Fort Ogle-
thorpe, Ga. and Fort Riley. Kan. Most
of them are draft troops altho consid-
cradle, numbers are still enlisting for
this work. including former hospital
internes., college men who have spe-
'cialized in>chemistry, and medical stu
dents from the universities.

clared needs We're to pressing to await
construction of steel barges After a
survey of the district he announced
that forty barges and seven towboats
had been found and that by September
the barge line between St. Louis and
New Orleans would be in operation on
weekly schedule
Meanwhile orders for addition al
barses and stowboats were placed and
construction of docks begun. The>lat-
ter, like the barges. are for the most
part temporary make-snifts. In st.
Louis. for instance. it was decided that
the proposed municipality owned dock
costing 100000 would require too long
to build. Accordingly. a small landing
was erected at al cost of $1,000 to meet
present needs.

cate similar activity, New Orleans is
making tremendous preparations for
increased business. and according to
figures presented BY it's chamber Of
commerce. will probably expend s25.-
100000 within Me nes1 year for docks
and other terminal facilities. Memphis
has announced that 100000 will be ex-
pended on docks and equipment for
handling freight. Carlo ILL.,, will
spend 100000; Greenville Miss, $780,

1t is hoped further that Joint rail

would increase greatly the territory
tributary to the line.
What want understood" said Dr.
rector Sanders, "is that this is not COM
PARABLE to any previous effort to re-
vive river traffic. What we are going
to do. will be done in d wholly modern
way backed by the credit and war
energy bf the greatest country in the
world.
1.-THE cost Of transport by water is
approximately one-third the cost by
rail. There is scant difference in
the time required to deliver freight.
Our upkeep is tremendously less than
that of "a railroad/ In short we have
every opportunitysto handle all classes
OF shipping at less cost than do the,

Revival of traffic on the Mississippi
is only part of the federal scheme to
utilize its waterways. We are going
to make a tremendous effort-an effort
that is going to do it's share to prove
that the waterways of this country can
assume one-t11ird the burden that has
