There are two essential elements in the

they are very different. To the east they
desire to create state of things which will
permit them to crush Poland, with the as

forces would then turn on the Czecho-

Germany stranglehold on Central Europe.

LONDON, February II.
Thy DISCUSSING the society of nations

difficult the realization of both.
Frenchmen in immense majority have no
prejudice against the league of nations idea
The principle pleases them, but they
wish before adventuring into the unknown
that practical conditions of peace be i'm
posed upon Germany. And three months
after the armistice the conference has not
spoken with regard to these. In fact, de-

with the league of nations have already
produced such results as to injure the

LIFE INSURANCE OF
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS

The figures given by the ''Insur-
ance Press" bring down only to the
end Of 1913 the committed value Of
insurance claims awarded by the Bu-
reau Of War Risk Insurance, a total
at that time Of $192,710,O0O. By
the first Of June the figure had risen
to 1896, 200, 900 and now it is prob
ably in excess Of 81 ZOO, OOO, 900.
Without dissenting voice life in
surance companies and life insurance
agents have urged soldiers and sailors
to retain the government inusrance,
and they have used every means with
in their power to counterfeit the nat
urally large proportion of lapses since
the war ended.
During the war government insur-
ance was quite an automatic affair
and undoubtedly many Of the soldiers
and sailors did not understand the lib
crafty Of the governments insurance
propositions. Within moderate lin
its the government is offering them
insurance at cost, paying out Of it's
treasury all expenses Of administra-
ton.
Organizations are being perfected
in all parts Of the country to reinstate
on generous terms the government
policies that have lapsed.
A "keep-up-your-pOlicy" campaign
is in progress for the benefit Of dis
charged soldiers and sailors and tens
Of thousands Of life insurance agents
have enlisted as ssvOlunteers' to do
everything in their power to assist
the men to keep their present govern
ment policies in force or to convert
them to optional forms Of govern
ment insurance.

SOLDIER COLONIES
Land Reclamation Projects are
Probable in NeighbOrhOOd
Hammond, Lake Charles

Washington, Oct. 14.-Lake
Charles and Hammond are listed as
projects for soldier land reclamation
in a report by H. T Cory, consulting
engineer of the United States recla-
alton service. Two projects also are
mentioned in Mississippi.
Florida has the largest available
land for reclamation, Mr.. Cory re-
ported, and declared the ''real from
tier in America is on the Gulf and
Atlantic coasts"
Opportunities for reclamation of
land in the South are extensive, said
Mr.. Cory. The investigation from
which Mr.. Cory's conclusion was made
was conducted in connection with
plans for furnishing American sol
diers with land tracts and permanent
homes.
Problem is In Selecting
''The problem is not in finding pro-
ject Sites" Mr.. Cory finds, "but in Sc
lecting the best of many" In a gen
eral analysis he found the govern
ment coul obtain land in large areas
for prices ranging from SIS to SIS an
acre and reclaim it at a cost which
would make it's total value when
drained, cleared and opened by roads,
range from 500 to $125 per acre.
Creation of soldier colonies in the
land, according to the report, would
be the most effective method Of get
ting the land utilized and giving the
soldiers proper opportunities as well
Mr.. Cory expressed the belief larger
projects would be the more success
full in that the work could be done
more cheaply and the settlements
would have greater social advantages.
1900, 900 Acres in Florida
Mr.. Cory said in Florida the ever
glades territory gives 100000 avail
able acres. In North Carolina fivs
meritorous projects have been ex.
amined, including nearly 100000
acres of land, and in South Carolina
four In Georgia, the report classi
fies the Swanee project in Clinch
Ware and Coffee counties as capable
Of providing 100, 900 acres Of tillabls
land and for an expenditure of $40,
600, 900.
Two projects in Mississippi, three
in the alIuvial area Of Arkansas anC
six in the coastal plain sector of the
state have been reported upon,as vel
as three in Texas. In Tennessee tn,

FAMILY FOOD IN

Figures Show the Crescent City

Cities in the South

New Orleans pays more to live
than six other Southern cities, says a
recent issue of the Daily States.
It pays less than three other cities.
The cost of living in New Orleans
was just 2 per cent higher on July /
than it was on June l.
A similar increase is estimated in
Atlanta, Birmingham and Memphis
tics were made public Friday.
Living costs didn't increase quite
as much in Mobile and Norfolk, where
only a one and one-half percent in
crease was reported.
The average family expenditures
for the year in New Orleans was
s7O8.37.
Theaverage New Orleans family
paid more for living necessities than
did the average family in Jackson
vile, Richmond, Va, Atlanta, Ca,
Charleston, Norfolk, Va, and Of
Washington, d. C.
Mobile, Memphis and Birmingham
paid more than the New Orleans
family.
New Orleans people, on an average
estimate, paid .s2s.7s more for liv-
ing necessities during the year than
did the people of Jacksonville, Fla.
Here's how the average family ex-
penditures for food compare. The
figures are based on the July prices:
