HANDLING WAR
 RISK INSURANCE
 MAIL Is B|G JOb

WASHINGTON, D. c. - More than a ton of incoming mail daily, and nearly as much outgoing mail, has made it necessary for the bu- reau of war risk insurance to build up a postal system of its own larger than is maintained by any single institution except the post office in the United States. An announcement today by the bureau said an average of s0,000 persons write daily, inquiring about allot- ments and allowances, insurance pol icies, or compensation payments, or remitting checks and currency as premiums on insurance This also means that each letter must be an swered, and that makes an outgoing mail of S0,OO0 letters.
 Since the bureau has 13,OO0 em- ployes and 36 divisions devoted to various phases of the bureaus work, the opening, reading, sorting and delivery of these letters to the prop CT divisions is task requiring more than 100 employees.
 Mail is received every half hour. and most of it is opened by ma chinery and tied in bundles for de- livery to the first set of readers. The readers peruse each letter to ascertain to what division 1t should be routed check up to see that the envelope contains the check or bill which the letter may say it con- tains, and that the return address is on the letter as well as the en- velope. Thousands of letters come without return address. making it difficult to trace them. Hundreds of envelopes contain currency, with out letter or address to identify them. Many are signed by an in adequate name, such as "Mrs. Smith, so that identification must be worked out laboriously by clerks.
 When letters give insufficient 1n- formation upon which to base a re- ply, a form setting forth all the necessary info, nation is sent to the writer.
 Outgoing letters are sorted ac- cording to the states for which they are destined, and tied in bundles and placed in separate sacks before leaving the bureau, in order that they may be more rapidly handled in the federal postoffices.

RIVER |S H|GH;;
 BANK IN DANGER

The recent rains would appear to have caused the lesser streams in the mountain regions to carry a large volume Of water and the main rivers, the Nenana and the Panama, have shown a steady rise for the past few days.
 The boom at Austin Oars log ging camp near the mouth of the Totatlanika is reported to have broken, resulting in the loss of a considerable number of sawlogs.
 Along the Nenana waterfront, near the steam laundry, the high waters, encroaching on the thawed bank, appear to be cutting in be- hind the riprapping, and there is some danger of it being washed away. Agent Scott of the A.-Y. N company noticed it first this morn ing and reported it to the Commis- sion officials, who will, no doubt, take adequate steps to protect the bank at this spot.

ENGLISH WOMEN MAY
 BE ADMITTED TO BAR

LONDON.-The house of lords having passed the second reading of Lord Buckmaster's bill letting down the bars of the legal profes- sion to women, the indications are that the measure will become a law during the present parliament ary session.
 One by one, as veteran ob- server of the struggle for women's rights points out, all the old sex barriers are tumbling down. It was strange, he says, to hear the governments blessing of the bill pronounced by the lord chancellor, who, as Sir F. E. Smith, was one of the chief opponents of woman suffrage when he was a member of the house of commons.
 The work performed by women during the war, the lord chancellor explained, in vindicating his former opposition, had profoundly altered matters. "I may say," he con- tinued, ''that under the changed circumstances of the time the gov ernment welcomes this proposal, and that it is their hope that they may be able to give it such assist ance as will render it's passing into law highly probable"
 The bill confers upon women the right of qualifying either as solici- tors or barristers. It does not ex- tend, however, to Scotland or Ire land.

CONSTANTINOPLE.-American, British, French and Greek phy- sicians are striving with might and main to prevent an outbreak of the plague in the region extending along the north shore of the Ae- gean Sea from Saloniki to Con- stantinople. In the work the Brit ish, French and Greek armies and the American Red Cross are CO., operating.
 America and England as well as the far off corners of the earth cannot afford in these days to ig- nore outbreaks of disease, no mat ter where they occur" declared q

 East. sooner or later it will reach England and America. And its ravages, if allowed to spread, will exceed those of the so-called in. rfluenza."

mean strike. AS evidence Of their
determination to press their demands,
strikers pointed out that 10 per cent

.BULL|TT MUDDLED,
SAYSLLOYDG GEORGE
Statements a Garbled Account
of Private Conversation,
Premier Declares
INACCURATE, GRoTEsoUE"

London, Sept. 1.-THE Press Asso-
citation has issued the following appar
emily authorized statement from Down" "
ing street. to which Premier LLOYD
George returned last night:
William G. Bullitt's statements ap-
pear to be a garbled account of a pri"
vate conversation with Mr.. Lloyd George
at a breakfast after Mr.. Bullitts re-
turn from Russia, together with mix
ture of conversations with other people.
''1n the opinion OF the premier, some
Of the statements are so ridiculous as
TO carry their own refutation on the
face of them; as, for example, the sug-
gestion of an intention TO send Lord
Lansdowne TO Russia as ambassador.
But, apart from examples OF this
kind, the suggestion is that the mar
rutor's memory was hopelessly at fault.
"While it is not suggested that MIR.
Bullitt did not talk with the premier,
it is catcgorically denied that any state
mcnt was given for publication, and the
whole account is authoritatively' de-
clared to be absolutely inaccurate in
important particulars and grotesque.
Washington, Sept. 17.--"My testi-
u,ony as it appears in the official record
is correct in every detail" William G..
Bullitt said yesterday, referring to his
recent appearance before the Senate
foreign relations committee.
