Insurance Statistics

NEW YORK, Sept. 3-Tho
Insurance Press" published to-
day a. detailed, tabulated state
ment, showing that in the yea,'
ending December 31st, 1918,
American insurance companit s
met a death rate of 50 per cent
greater than for the same pc
iod of 1917. The figures give.l
show that ten persons in the
United States died from infucr-
"a for every American soldic,'
killed in action. Influenz .
deaths exceeded half a million.
The statement predicts tn; /
the effects of the war will be felt
ON the death rate for several
years, because deaths will cor
tinue from wounds, effects Of
poison gas, shell shock, etc.
Total losses paid in life insur-
ance during the year 1918 was
81, ,115, 100000. The larges
policy paid was on the life of Re-

LOADED WITH KEYS

Yesterday Mrs. Alfonso Bac-
heller, who resides on Monte
Vista street, observed a man at
tempting to get into the house
next to her own-premises oc-
cupied by a couple of single
gentlemen. She sent her son to
notify one of the gentlemen oc-
cupying the house, and the boy
went to the nearest telephone,
calling up the gentleman and
notifying him what was doing.
He got officer Tom Cumming,
and the two went right to the
place in the town machine.
When the man saw the boy
leaving his home, he disappear
ed and when the officer and
owner arrived at the house the
man was gone. The boy said he
could recognize the man If ne
saw him; so the officer and MIR.
Wilkey took him into the auto,
and went up Morley Avenue. In
the park the boy pointed him
out. Officer Cumming took hlm
into custody. Upon examlna-
tion he was found possessed oil
a bunch of keys with pass keys
md all other kinds of keys, with
some one of which he could open
any door. He is in jail.

edwith the way the treaty is
progressing and he feels that
certain amendments will be de-
feated.
Senator Hitchcock said that
President Wilson will take his
stand squarely against amend
ments and reservations, ground
ing his opposition upon an un-
qualified belief that they would
force resubmission of the treaty
to the other signatory powers,
isolating America, bringing a
negotiated peace with Germany,
in making which the United
States would have none of tho
advantages which accrued to
her being united with and sup
ported by the Allies in all tn
negotiations at Versailles. The
President believes that such q
consummation would be the di-
rest calamity.

FROZEN MEAT
AND POULTRY
PUT UPON THE
MARKET-SOLD
War Department Orders Solt To
municipalities Large Amounts
Of Refrigerated Supplies In
New York And Chicago
Omitted Press Service)

WASHINGTON, Sept s.
Today the War Department
struck another blow at high
prices by putting on sale over
100000 pounds of frozen poul-
try, mutton and pork loins and
shoulders, now on cold storage
in New York and Chicago.
Orders will be taken from mu-
inequalities all over the country,
and from municipalities only;
because meats must be shipped
In refrigerating cars, and car
load lots must be bought.
Prices are: Poultry, thirty
cents per pound; pork, twenty
seven cents down to twenty-one
cents per pound; mutton, six
teen cents.

wegian capitalists from Chris
tiana.
AS a result of the recent tour
of a large party, of Mississippi
Valley business men throughout
Mexico, the Chicago Association
of Commerce has opened an af-
flee in Mexico, City, and the
American Chamber of Commerce
of Mexico has formed a New
York auxiliary.
In 1918, after nearly nine
years of revolution and with the
railroad system badly dilapidat-
ed, with rebel activities neces-
stating the carrying of armed
guards on all trains, and with
thousands of cars and locomo-
tives in the repair shops, Mex
leo was still able to export pro-
ducts to the value of $183, ,652,-
125 (American money!, of which
the United States share was
$175,037,150. Imports into
Mexico were $82,235,O17 (Amer
Iican money!, of which $7O,576,-
314 came from the United
States.
The American farmer depends
chiefly on the Mexican henequen
(sisaD fibre for his binding
twine, and the exports from
Yucatan to the United States of
this fibre in 1918 were valued at
more than $3O,OO0,OOO.
Chance for Tropical Products
For rubber, coffee and other
tropical products Mexico is a
very important source of supply
to the United States, but that
business is only a fraction of
what it might be. There are
vast ranges suitable for cattle
and sheep. Mexico ought to eX-
port wheat and corn instead of
them. 1t has more
land suitable for sugar cane than
Cuba, but it's production of sugar
has fallen to less than 100000
tons annually, while Cuba's pro-
1uction has risen to 100000
tons a year.
Mexico is in the position of a
business that has been misman-
aged but is fundamentally sound.
An expressive indication of the
vitality and resiliency
of Mexico is afforded by the fact
that last year, in face of the ruin
and prostration wrought by the
revolution, her total revenues
were greater than in any other
similar period in her history.
The transportation OF commodi-
ties on the railways under Gov
control in Mexico (8,116
miles, or about half the total
mileage of the country furnish
es a good indication of the con-
ditions.

INDUSTRIAL REVIVAL IN MEXICO

New York, Sept. 2.-That
Mexico is on the eve of an indus

HUGE ARMY
OF ISLAND
EMPIRE
675,00 TOmmies Scattered All
Over WOrld-These In Adj
dition to Home Forces

LONDON, Sept 3-There are
5000 British soldiers scatter
ed abroad upholding the pres
tige of the British Empire.
Nearly two-thrids of this
force is retained toenforce the
fulfllment by Germany of the
peace treaty. This huge army
does not include British soldiers
in Ireland OF other portions of
the British Isles numbering over
100000; hence the British
Army totals about 100000
men.
In the British Army of Oc-
cupation along the Rhine are
100000 soldiers, while in France
and Flanders, forming the COM
munication services and clear
ing up the battlefields are 214,-
900 men, who would act as a re-
serve for the Rhine army in
case Of need.
In Italy there are about H.
900 troops, most of them en-
gagged in clearing up" work.
One battalion forms the British
portion of the international gar
rison at Fiume.
In the Black Sea area there
are 10000 troops, about a divi-
sion being in the region of Con-
stantinople and $4,000 in the
Caucasus, where highly valu-
able oil fields are being guarded.
In Egypt and Palestine there
are $4,000 British soldiers. AS
is we'll known, a large garrison
is being kept in Egypt to pre-
vent revolution and Turko-Ger-
man plots coming to a head.
Asia Minor is very unsettled; !;
there's trouble between the
Kurds and Armenians, which,
with the dissatisfaction of the
Turks, makes it necessary for a
considerable force to be kept in
Palestine, for which Great Brl-
tain has the mandate.
In Mesopotamia there are 21,-
900 British garrison troops.
The Kurds there have been
stirring up trouble. Central
Arabia also is inclined to be war
like, mostly of tribal kind be-
tween sects.
In India, where there. are a
million natives trained to arms,
but who have been demobilized,
the British garrison numbers
$4,000. Unrest in India itself
together with punitive expedl-
tions now and then by the Al
ghans, makes this force essen
tial to continuance of British
rule.
In Siberia, where international
troops are guarding the Trans
Siberian Railroad from the Boil
sheviks, there are 1,40O British
troops. In addition there is a
Admiral Kolchak, with head
quarters at Vladivosrok.
In North Russia, where the
British policy is to hold the Boil
sheviks in check while Russians
are being trained and equipped
so they can "carry on" there
are some $4,000 British troops,
most of which are near Archan-
gel The British forces are
gradually being brought home.

GENERALSAGE
TRANSFERRED
TO COMMAND
u. S. TROOPS
An Officer Known Well and
Liked In NOgales. Sent Over
seas to Command American
Soldiers i'm the Far North.

Junction City, Kansas, Sept. 3.
Brig. Gen. William H. Sage,
commandant at Camp Funston,
has been ordered to depart for
Russia at once; and he will leave
tomorrow, September 4th.
General Sage has a long and
creditable record as a soldier.
In the Philippines, in 1899, he
won the Congressional Medal of
Honor for gailantry in action, in
one instance with only nine men,
he held an outpost against great
odds. Taking the rifle of one of
men who had been put out of ac-
tion by a severe wound, Captain
Sage (that being his rank at
that time) took the gun of the
wounded man and took part in
the firing, killing five of the
enemy.
In 19O6-7-8, as Major Sage he
was with the Thirtieth Infantry
in Alaska. AS lieutenant colonel
and colonel he served on staff at
the War Department in Wash
ington, several years. Assign
ed to command of the Twelfth
Infantry, at Nogales, he served
with that regiment until war
was declared Germany, when he
was promoted to brigadier gen.
eral Among others, when the
big increase of the army came
in 1917, he was given a tempor-
ary commission as major gen
eral, but with reduction of the
army he returned to his normal
rank of brigadier. Until recent
lv he was in command at Camp
Gordon, Georgia. and was trans
ferred from that post to Camp
Funston, which he leaves now
to 90 to Russia. Before going
to Camp Gordon he was in COM
mand at an officers training
camp at Camp Smelling. Min
nesota-from May to August,
1917.
While in command of the
Twelfth Infantry at Noagles,
Colonel Sage gained wide atten-
tion and admiration by repell.
ing an attack upon the line OF
his troops guarding the inter
national line. There had been
considerable sniping of Amerl-
can sentries by Mexicans. Upon
the occasion mentioned the Vii
lista troops were evacuating the
Mexican town. They signalized
their departure by opening fire
on the American sentries. Col.
Sage was right at the line an
ticipating something of the
kind. He quickly commanded
"Pick your man and shoot"
Word passed along the line, and
havoc was spread among the
Villistas. Many fell before Amer
ican rifles.

Mr.. Wilson has prepared no
set addresses, and he intends to
speak from short hand notes
prepared on the train. To OBJ
jections advanced by opponents
of the League he will reply with
bald statements of what he con-
siders facts, rather than resort
ing to oratorical effort. He will
devote most attention to West
ern States, particularly the Pa
cific Coast, where suspicion of
the japanese, and a distrust of
their policy, with resentment at
the Shantung settlement are
strongest.
1t is expected that the Presi-
dent will place much emphasis
upon the argument that ratifi-
cation of the treaty is necessary
to scothe industrial unrest.
With departure of the Presi-
sident the opposition anticipate
setting off a lot of fire works !;
and every effort will be ade by
republican leaders to bring the
treaty out from the Foreign Re-
lations committee into the SEN
ate; and they anticipate report
ing it with the amendments the
latter part Of the week. CT
course the committee will pres
ent minority and majority re-
ports, the majority advocating
adoption of the amendments,
the minority opposing. It is an
ticipated that other amend
ments will be proposed in COM
mittee and adopted
The object of getting the
treaty before the Senate 1T this
time is to have it under discus
sion while the President is dis
cussing it before the people,
thus bringing the controversy
