WAR.RISK INSURANCE
EXPLAINED BY GLASS
Beneficiaries Under Compen.
sation Clause Only Must
Prove Dependency

Camp Meade, Admiral, Md. Jan. p
To clear up the confusion and misunder-
standings which prevail among the rela-
tives and bencficiaries OF men In the
service regarding their rights under the
war-risk insurance act, Secretary Of
the Treasury Carter Glass has issued
a statement which was published here
this morning in the form of memo
randum to be read to the soldiers and
posted for their information. The state
ment reads
considerable confusion and much
misunderstanding seems to prevail
among the relatives and benefciaries Of
men in the military and naval service
as to their rights under the war-risk
insurance act Many mothers and ia
theirs named as beneficiaries of the Gov
ernmeit insurance applied for by their
sons have gained the impression that
they must prove dependency in order to
receive payments of insurance. This IS
an entirely erroneous impression, prob
ably due to a confusion of the insur-
ance and compensation provisions of the
act of Congress Of October 6, 1917. and
to n mistaken assumption that the terms
insurance and compensation are used
INTERCHANGEABLE, whereas they represent
two entirely separate and distinct benc-
fits
Insurance. is payable regardless OF
any dependency. and beneficiary desig-
mated in an application for Government
insurance IL within the permitted class
Of spouse. child. grandchild. parent,
brother or sister, is entitled to receive
tho insurance in monthly installments S
without proving any dependency upon
the insured.

u. s. COMMERCE MADE
Big STRIDES IN WAR
Trade With Brazil and South
American Countries Gained
100 Per Cent

The manufacturers and exporters of
the United States have increased trade
with Brazil and South American coun-
tries more than 100 per cent since the
beginning Of the war. according to the
statement Of J. w. LANCER trade COM
missioner of the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce in Washington. Mr..
LANCER calls attention to the fertile field
among the southern republics for broad
gauged advertising work and says that
all they need today is the stimulus Of
some enterprising expert from the
United States to develop the agency
there of judiciously applied publicity.
Speaking OF the increase of American
trade. Mr. LANCER says:
Imagine ten large stores in one big
city, and one Of these stores doing
more business than all the other nine
combined" said Mr.. LANCER. land that
will give you some idea of the position
we are in today. 1t is an amazing
record. We are now selling South
American countries more than half of
everything they import. Our total ex-
port trade Is now counted in billions of
dollars. With the signing of a peace
treaty, a practical certainty within six
months or n year. II Is not day too
soon to begin making definite plans to
meet the keen competition in foreign
trade that must come almost imme-
diately."
The hundreds of millions of dollars
invested in new factories and ships, he
said, mean that America must find fresh
outlets for her enterprise and industry
I'VE need more and better direct rep
resentation of our manufacturers in the
important trade centers of Brazil and
other South American countries he
continued. This may come about
through taking the fullest advantages of
the new Webb export trade act or in
other practical ways.
1--WE also need a fast and regular
freight service to every important port
Of Latin America. without it we will
be as crippled as a department store
that depends upon casual messenger
boys to make its deliveries.
1.-THE biggest thing that could happen
to advertising down there would be for
broad -gauged American advertising men
to take more interest In It, These coun-
tries await the stimulus Of American ad-
vertsng genius properly adjusted to
meet their needs. Bot let the American
advertising men put this in their note
books: Spanish is the language of all
South America except Brazil. where
Portuguese Is spoken. Brazilians are Of
Tended II you write or speak to them
in Spanish"

The damage to the palace as a re.

London, Jan. l. - The matrimonial
future of the Prince of Wales Is. the sub
iect Of discussion in two of the morning
newspapers. The Daily Express devotes
two columns to It. pointing out that the
war has narrowed the choice for royal
marriages. There s no possibility now
NJ n German princess becoming Queen OF
England. and vast tragedy has oblit-
oro9ed the Russian royal family. AS re-
cards marriageable princesses and in
other countries, the Express says that
Princess Yolanda. of Italy Is ineligible
because she Is a Roman Catholic, Prin-
cess Helena, OF Greece, Is no longer
toiLed of as the future queen and. al
though one of the Rumanian princesses
might be chosen. the prospect would
arouse little enthusiasm.
"The fact is." says the Express, that
there Is n keen desire that the Prince
shall be allowed to choose for himself
a british wife--if not an American. His
marriage with n British bride would
be exceedingly popular. II he should
choose an American bride. the enthu-
s,asm on both sides of the Atlantic
would be unbounded and dramatic pos
sibiities would be opened up The ex-
ample would be infectious. and there
is no telling where the consequences
would end"
The Express asserts that the idea OF
royal caste marrying within itself Is
no part of English law and forms no
written part of any continental consti-
tuition.
There is nothing whatever to pre-
vent King George giving his consent to
the marriage Of the Prince of Wales to
anybody who is not Roman Cath
