ADVISES MEN TO
KEEP INSURANCE
Rock Island Red Cross Chapter
Home Service Section Issues
Appeal to Soldiers.

Keep up your government issur-
ance" is the call issued today by tire
home service section of the Rock
Island chapter of the Red Cross to
every returned soldier and sailor.
The home service section of the
local chapter, with offices in room
So of the State Bank building, is
ready to furnish any information
about government insurance. If
you can't keep up the entire amount
we will tell you how to make ap-
plication for reduction" they are
saying today. But be sure to keep
up as much as you can" Here are
the reasons given:
Government insurance is the
strongest, safest and cheapest life
insurance ever written.
This insurance will always be
carried by the government aud at
any time within five years it may
be converted without medical ex-
animation into the usual forms OF
nsurance-endowment, 20 payment
life, etc. The method of making
this change will be published by
the Red Cross as soon as the gov
eminent plans are completed.
THE right to continue this in
surance is a valuable right given
by the government to our fighting
men as part compensation for their
services, and if this right is lost
by allowing the insurance to lapse
it can never be regained.
when government insurance is
allowed to lapse the holder cannot
obtain insurance except from pri-
vate companies at greatly increas-
ed cost
MANY men have become unin-
surable through some physical i'm
pairment; if the government insUr-
ance lapses, they lose the last OPP
portunity for their families to have
the protection of life insurance.
ANY man who has government
insurance has a ready-made bank
account; he is cheating himself and
his family if he throws it away by
allowing his insurance to lapse"
The Red Cross home service sec
ton also explains that government
insurance should not be dropped
because the benefciaries have not
received insurance certificates, for
the insurance is effective regard
less of the receipt of insurance GER
tificates provided proper applica-
ton has been made and premiums
paid. The certificates are being
mailed as rapidly as possible and

WANTS NOTHING TO
Do WITH The TURK
PRESIDENT WILSON RELUCTANT
IN AGREEING TO TAKE MAN.
DATE FOR coNsTANTINoPLE.
Informs Council Of Four That Con-
gress 10 Liable to Balk at Propo-
sition Of Mixing With the IN
speakabie Turk.

Paris.-President Wilson has in
formed the council of four. IT was re-
ported In peace conference circles on
Saturday. that the other members Of
the council should be prepared for the
United States not to take a mandate
for Constantinople or any other part
OF Turkey.
This Is Interpreted not as the per-
sonal inclination of the president
against mandate. but as precaution
In case congress does not approve Of
a Turkish mandate.
The reported stand of the president
has had the effect of starting two
distinct movements with relation to
the Turkish problem. The first is to
place Constantlnople under an inter-
national committee, in which all the
great powers would have voice.
Should this not prove acceptable, the
second plan will be put forward. This
plan is based on the assumption that
II the rivalries among the great pow
ers of Europe make 1t inexpedient for
Great Britain, France or Italy to make
the mandate, to intrust it to Greece
with the support of the great powers.
Premier Venizelos has lett tbe known
that Greece Is ready to assume the
mandate If neither the United States
nor an international commission Is
prepared to assume the responsibility.
