surance than in any preceding full cal
endar year. According to the agents at
the meeting. insurance companies gen
orally are writing from 20 to 50 per
cent morei insurance this year than ever
before.
The unusual interest being manifested
in insurance is attributed to four i'm e.
portant factors. One was the adoption
and Endorsement Of the basic principles
of insurance by the United States Gov
crnment itself. A second factor is the
psychological effect Of the influenza cpl
Gemic, which resulted in the death of
thousands of persons and which made
lasting impression on the public by
the large number of men under forty
years of age who were stricken fatally
by the disease.
A third factor is the large estate and

ORCHESTRA ASSET
TO PHILADELPHIA
Stotesbury and Morris Point
Out Benefits of Musical Or
ganization to City
VALUE is UNDERESTIMATE

Music not only has cultural but re-
creational value. aud a high grade or
garization, consecrated to the best
music, is even n commercial asset to a
city.
These facts were pointed out today
by L. T. Stotcsbury and Efingham b.
Morris. inapciers and ardent supporters
OF the Philadelphia Orchestra which
recks a 81 1000, 900 addition to its en-
dowment fund.
Every man is more or less fond of
music. even if he is no musician, said
Mr.. Stotesbury.
IF it seems to the average business
man that music is only feminine pur-
suit. let him consider that the greatest
composers were men. and that many OF
their works will live after the work
dcne by the average man of business
is forgotten. Let him not forget. too.
that the patrons of these musicians
were business men and lovers Of art
They knew that their money and their
support could not be better given than
to the advancement of struggling
musical genius.
Without that support many great
musician would have died unknown.
Without that support today the opera
and musical organizations of America
| could not exist.
Music a Rest Cure
! '"The crying need of today. when so
many aud momentous questions are be-
| fore us hourly. is q sane reasonable form
q relaxation And man who hears
! GOOD music. whether at an opera. a con
cert or an orchestral performance, will
! find himself afterward rested and re-
frcshed in way which he cannot other
wise attain
| Mr.. Morris sums up his opinion of
! the Philadelphia Orchestra in these
| words:
"A city. like an individual. should
not be appraised upon commercial or
| financial assets only.
Like an individual. there are elc-
mcnts IN the life of a city, which affect
its standing commercially. although not
perhaps appearing in specified items
upon balance sheet.
Nevertheless. these do influence ma
terially the purposes and results of the
! life of cities as we'll as individual,
either for profit or loss. A commercial
| statement that omits what ought to
appear receives low rating at bank.
A city that fails to appreciate part of
its assets loses credit proportionately in
the countrys wide estimate of it.
Orchestra Advertises City
The Philadelphia Orchestra is not
only one of Philadelphia pleasures and
artistic and educational resources.
Great as is the position of The orches =
ira. it is also something else.
The orchestra carries the name OF
Philadelphia to other cities and always
carries it with credit. Over 95, 900 per
sons attend the concerts in those cities
and these carry away with them 4
conviction that Philadelphia does wei
whatever she undertakes. For the at
mospbere of success is always felt wher,
the orchestra plays. Its audiences fiji
the largest halls in every city.
1T is within the bounds of conser
vatism. therefore, to say that such an
orchestra is commercial as well as Q
cultural asset Of Philadelphia.

German Version
The German version of the invita-
ton addressed by the Supreme Coun-
Gil of Germany to send delegates
to Versailles, according to a wire
less dispatch, is as follows:
The Supreme Council of the AL
lied and associated powers has de-
cided to convoke for the evening of
April % at Versailles the German
delegates, who should be vested
with full powers in order that the
text of the peace reliminarics
drawn up by the Allied and assoCl-
ted powers can be communicated
10 them. The German government
's accordingly requested TO give as
oon as possible the number, names
md ranks of the delegates 1t intends
% send to Versailles, with the num-
Der names. and ranks of the per-
'ons accompanying them.
The German delegation could
not go beyond the role attributed
% it and should include only per-
sons intended to accomplish its spe-
rial mission"
The delay of three days for the
meeting at Versailles between the
representatives of the Allied and as
sociated powers and the German
delegates for the delivery to the
Germans of the Allied peace terms,
may be OF benefit to the Allies in
completing the draft of the lengthy
peace document, which is said to
approximate 100000 words. Some
doubt had been expressed that the
Allies would be able to give the
Germans more than a summary of
their peace conditions at the first
meeting at Versailles owing to the
length of the document.
Talk of the German government
sending merely messengers" to
Versailles TO receive the peace
treaty is discounted by official in
formation received by Marshal Foch
that the German delegation will
consist of six high personages, head
ed by Count Won Brockdorff Rant
Eau, the Foreign Minister.

Would Protect Skunks
Except During Winter

Senator Phipps, of Venango, read
bill in the Senate last night for the
protection of skunks and polecats.
He would have an open season from
November to March, only, and
would provide a fine for killing them
in the closed season.
His idea is that skunks are valu-
able fur-bearing animals and add
considerably to the revenues of the
State
