HEALTH INSURANCE 10 COME
Declared to Be Logical Step Following
Adoption Of Workmen's compensa-
tion Legislation.

That compulsory health insurance
! will serve to relieve charity of much
of it's already too heavy burden. botl
by caring for wage earners when II,
and by stimulating preventive meas
ures. was the declaration made by Sec
rotary John 3. Andrews of the Ameri.
can Association for Labor Legislation
In an address at q session of the meet
ing of the National Conference of Jew
ish Charities.
Compulsory health insurance, in
Guiding maternity benefits, he said, lis
coming soon in the United States, de
spite the Misrepresentation and active
resistance of an interested opposition
1t is the logical next step following
workmen's compensation, Which IN
eight years has been adopted by Al
states. territories and by the United
States government for its million. civil
ian employees. What opposition there
is now to health insurance laws is OF
the same character as that directed
against workmen's compensation eight
years decomposition that in the light
of successful experience now is seen
to have been wholly misguided
'Fo be effective, health Insurance
must be compulsory" he insisted. no
other plan will work. Only by making
it compulsory can it be made to cover
large numbers with a maximum Of
benefits and minimum Of cost and
reach those who are most in need of
this protection The compulsory plan
is essential, too for eliminating ex-
cessive acquisition and administrative
costs and private profits"

Another subject taken up by the
president in his answers to questions
and in his speeches was the Irish ques-
ton. This, he asserted, could prop
erly be brought up in the council of
the league under article XII, (which
makes it the right of every member
Of the league to draw attention to any,
thing anywhere that is likely to dis
turb the peace of the world or the
good understanding between nations,
uponswhich the peace of the world de-
pends." The covenant would not bind
the United States to assist in putting
down rebellion in any foreign coun-
try, he said, nor would it limit the
power of this country to recognize the
independence Of any people who seek
to secure freedom. He explained that
Ireland was not given a hearing at the
peace conference because the confer
ence had no jurisdiction over ques-
tons of that sort that affected terri
tories that did not belong to the de-
feated empires.
The Irish-American opponents Of the
league were far from satisfied with
this reply, and especially did they dis
like what they termed the presidents
righteousness They asked him to
answer point-blank the question "Are
you in favor of differentiation for
Ireland" and requested a reply by
September Is, when the Irish execu-
tive committee meets in New York. 1t
does not seem possible that they ex-
pect a "yes-or-no" answer to such a
question.
Some one must have whispered a
warning to Mr.. Wilson concerning the
resentment caused by his general at.
tacks on all senator's who do not favor
ratification of the treaty as 1t stands.
for last week his speeches were
much more conciliatory, and he even
had good words to say concerning the
mild reservationists." But his ex-
pressed opinion Of the Borah-Johnson
group had not changed Throughout
the country there is evident de-
termination to learn definitely what
the treaty and covenant mean, and the
crowds that flock to hear the presl.
dent and the opposition senator's are
not actuated solely by curiosity to see
and hear notables. Each in his own
way, and from his own standpoint, the
speakers are trying to enlighten the
people, and it is especially crafty
ing to note that Mr.. Wilson Is more
explicit in his explanations of the
articles over which the main contests
have arisen.

Clemenceau, "The Tiger"

"They called George Clemenceau
the tiger of France because he fights
like that splendid creature of the
wilds,' says William Heylinger in his
article, "Clemenceau, the Tiger of
France" in the January number of
Boys Life. "He is a little man, little
and bald, with a bristling mustache,
and flashing eyes, and a habit of fight
ing his battles to finish. His life
reads like a wild, improbable ro-
nance. At 21 years of age he was an
exile from his country. At 76 France
was begging him to take the Premier
ship and save her from the German
disaster that threatened"
"My WILL Clemenceau said stern
ly, must be the law of France
"They gave him his way. France
needed tiger just then for the men
ace of the German spy was threaten
ing the nations heart. Unable to
shatter the armies that fought under
the Tricolor, Germany was trying to
win by fraud and deceit. Everywhere
German spies were plying their vile
trade. Weak Frenchmen We're being
bribed to do Germany's work. The
confidence of the people was being un-
dermined; the Government seemed
unable to catch the snakes. Soon the
fear and uncertainty might spread
to the brave soldiers at the front,
and then all would be lost"

Animals as Sentries

every soon after the beginning of
the war it was noticed that cats, dogs,
pet and even wild birds as well as
chickens, ducks and geese were aware
of distant battles or of the approach
of enemies" writes Ladd Plumley in
the January number Of Boys Life.
Gall over the north of England the
keepers of game preserves noticed
that the pheasants became excited and
squawked their alarm when a naval
engagement was taking place in the
North Sea. In France the approach
of hostile airplanes We're foretold by
the uneasiness shown by bird pets.
Early in the war parrots were placed
in the Eiffel Tower to give warning,
long before human eyes and ears could
detect the fact, Of the approach of
enemy planes. Very soon, however,
the parrots became useless, as they
became familiar with hostile airplanes
and no longer showed the least inter-
est.
"Of all the animals and birds that
gave their warnings as sentries, dur
ing the initial stages Of the war, the
bird that by some strange mixup in
ideas is supposed to represent stupid
ity showed the most amazing instinct
