So Long, School!

Good-by. good-by. to the stupid pi,
And tedious conjugations!
Adieu, adieu! we have waded through
Our last examination
OF cube root and quadratics!
Well trade our books for running brooks
And rsvel in aquatics!
Yes, au revoir to the desk-bon soir.-
Deep-scarred by our abuses.
Upon your face we learned to trace
And square hypothenuses!
The slate is clean-and though ween
We never shall remember
The half we learn, still we'll return
Good-by, then, till September!

SOLDIERS INSURED LONGER
Protection Extended 30 Days After
Month of DISCHARGE.

Washington. April 30.--Govern-
ment insurance on the lives of sol.
diers and sailors will continue auto.
matically for one month after the end
of the month in which man is dis.
charged from the service, even II the
beneficiary does not pay his PREM
iums. Henry ID. Lindsey, Director OF
of the War Risk Insurance Bureau an
nounced today. II man dies within
that time the insurance will be paid,
but after that time the policy Is con-
sidered lapsed and will be lost unless
application has been made for rein
statement. A lapsed policy will be
reinstated If application is made
within six months.
These terms are considered sufiici-
emily liberal to eliminate chance OF
accidental neglect of policy by a
discharged soldier. Attempts now are
being made to have discharged men
keep their policies in force, so they
can be converted into regular life in
surance at option within five years.
Another new ruling of the bureau is
that physical disability Of discharg-
ed soldier will be recognized after his
discharge, even though records show
he was sound on leaving the service.
/ Many men in their anxiety TO be dis
charged claim to be physically sound;
though they may be partly disabled
and subsequently develop ailments
which entitle them to free treatment
in Government hospitals.
Many discharged soldiers have ask.
ed for written statement of their fn-
al accounts. 1t was explained today
that it is physically impossible to fur
,nish these statments without stopping
more important insurance, compensa.
ton, or allotment work of the bureau.
Each final check sent to dependents
OF a soldier after his discharge repre-
sents an adjustment covering allot-
ment and allowance up to the day Of
discharge with deductions or any part
discharge with deductions or any past
overpayments or addition OF omitted
payments.
The War Risk Bureau is anxious to
hear from these two classes OF per
eors;
First-Discharged soldiers or sail
ors who are partly disabled, who need
free treatment in Government hospl
tails or sanatoriums or who are en-
titled to compensation which they are
not receiving on account of disability

DEADLOCK
OVER PEACE PACT.
Plans to Get an Early Vote on the
Treaty Fail. II
LEADERS IN LONG WRANGLE
Lodge and Hitchcock Both Offer Suu.
gestions, but Fail to Reach an
Agreement, and the Body
Drops Back Into Routine

washington, Nov 4.-I,norts to Sc
ton on the peace treaty failed in the
senate. After an hour of Wrangling
over proposals presented by both sides
the leaders gave up the attempt to
reach an agreement and the regular
order of debate en- the labor amend
ment to the treaty was resumed.
A plan presented by Republican
Leader Lodge for final vote on No
vember II was blocked by Democrat
&c Leader Hitchcock, whose counter
proposal that final action be taken
during the present week was objected
to by Mr.. Lodge.
Hitchcock Presents Proposal.
Senator Hitchcock, in presenting the
proposal to the senate, said it seemed
the only fair way to reach final vote,
as reservations of varying degrees of
qualification would come up when the
committee proposals failed to receive
a two-thirds ratification vote ME
plan offered by Senator Lodge, he said,
was not acceptable, as under it, the
final vote on ratification would be tax
en- on resolution containing reserva-
tons made up largely by enemies to
the treaty, and which enough senators
have agreed to so that there is no ma
terial chances Of alteration"
"We want an opportunity" said Sen
fn
ent resolution, which ultimately may
command the support of two-thirds of
the senate, with a compromise be-
tween those who want it ratified with
out reservations and those who want
it ratified with reservations.
Sought Vote by Saturday.
II am not sure that ratification will
be reached in any form; but if sena-
tors desire to decide in a broad, fair
way rather than the methods of a
political convention. then let us offer
resolution without reservations, and
if that, too, fails, let others present
resolutions of various characters un-
til, perhaps, compromise is reached"
Senator Hitchcock said his proposal
would permit the senate to dispose of
the treaty by next Saturday or decide
to take up other legislation.
4s eve must face the situation" he
said, that unless there is a cOmprO-
mise between those favoring ratlf1ca-
ton in some form the treaty cannot
be ratified"
Senator Lodge said he would not en-
ter "such an elaborate piecemeal
scheme" but would insist upon def
mite date for a vote, which would
give ample opportunity for any move
the minority decided to make. The
Republican leader denied a charge by
Senator Pittman Dem.), Nevada, that
he was seeking to defeat ratification
in a roundabout way.
II have tried" Senator Lodge re-
piled, Ito bring about such reserva-
tons as would insure ratification of
the treaty. If the committee resolu-
ton now is voted down by those who
now profess to be friends of the
treaty, then your treaty will be in
grave danger"
Senate leaders generally desire an
adjournment about November 10, to
give a two weeks rest before the De-
cember session and also allow travel
allowances for the new session.
