CHANGES ITS NAME.
Gcl'mania Insurance Co. Becomes Ma
 tiOniM Liberty.

New York, March 2.-TodaN, the Germania Fire Insurance Company. one of the oldest insurance com panies in America, founded in 1859, changes it's name to the National Liberty Insurance Company of Amer ica. The chdnge in the name, which is the only change affecting the com pany, which has branches m every state of the Union, was neces*itatcd by the public misinterpretatlon of the former name, which many persons believed to indicate the company was German in it's origin or affiliations. As a matter of fact, the company was founded entirely by Americans and some of the noted men who have served upon it's board of directors at various times, include the late Joseph H. Choate, c. Godfrey Gunthcr, once mayor of New York city, Richard M Hoe, Marcus L. Ward, former govern or of New Jersey, Ernest Hall, for mer judge of the supreme court, ana many more of equal prominence, The officers and directors are native Americans, and the funds of the com- pany are invested entirely in AmCr- ican securities.
 It is Interesting, in connection with the announcemen to note that the company took it's original name. "Germania", as a result of the large immigration to America, from 1S43 until the outbreak of the Civil war, of Germans, who took part in the , revolution against autocratic rule in their own country, and came to the United States to secure political free dom, among them being such men as Carl SchurZ
 1t is announced by officials of the country that all policies issued prior to the change of name, will continue in force until their expiration. The company's last financial statement gives it's capital as s1,00o,O 900, with reserve for liabilities of $4,222, ,4S5.6O, net surplus to policy holders of $3,3S1, ,100.27, and total assets of SS,603,5 3,5S5S7
 Since the outbreak of the war, the company has been active in securing recruits for the United States navy and marine corps, through the me- dium of posters distributed through it's agencies, and it recently con- tributed S10, ,000 to the American Red Cross.
