To Extend Insurance.

The State.
Washington, Feb. 7.-Congressman
Dominick yesterday introduced bill
amending the war risk insurance act
by which the automatic insurance pro-
vided in the original act and which
was only effective until February IL,
1917, will be extended to all soldiers
and sailors who were disabled or lost
their lives and had failed to apply for
insurance, within 120 days after their
entry into service. There has been a
great deal of confusion and misunder-
standing as to this automatic insur-
ance and the bill introduced by Mr..
Dominick is intended to clear up this
confusion and if passed will allow the
automatic insurance in every case
where a man became disabled or lost
his life during the war, without hav-
ing applied for insurance within 120
days after his entry into the service.

1901, and departed this life at the
home of his parents on the 18th day
of December, 1918, he being at the
time Of his death II years, eight
months and four days old. He leaves
to mourn his departure loving moth
er, father and sister and host Of rel
atives and friends. He was always a
dutiful and obedient son and con-
sistent member of ST. Johns Evangel-
ical Lutheran Church and the Sunday
school. He was never heard nor
known to indulge In bad language
and was always considerate of others.
By his excellent conduct he endeared
himself to all who knew him. Hav-
ing won scholarship by his excellent
work in the class of which he was a
member at the Little Mountain High
school in June, 1918, he entered New
berry College in September, 1918,
where by his manly and Christian con-
duct he became a favorite with the
student body and the faculty. His
young life was full of promise for
great usefulness, but the blighting

EXCITING STORY RELATED
BY WALTER L. RUFF
Lands in New York-Wounded BY
Shrapnel, Popular Soldier is
Picked Up.

New York, Feb. 12.-Severely
wounded by shrapnel and picked up in
'.No Mans Land" by four German SOL
Giers who were fleeing to the Ameri-
can lines to surrender, was part of
the exciting story told today at Dabar-
kation Hospital No. 3 in this city by
First Class Private Walter L. Ruff of
1870 Main Street, Columbia, S. c.
Ruff is we'll known young insurance
man of Columbia. His home is in
Newberry, S. c.
Ruff is a member of Company A,
One Hundred and Eighteenth Infan-
try of the Thirtieth Division, which
was cited several times for gallantry
in action. He enlisted in May, 1917,
and was sent to Campj Sewer, where
he took special training in first aid
work and was later namde one of the
two 6rst aid men in his company. In
May of last year, Private Ruff was
sent to England, thence to Calais,
France, with his division. The COM
pany was in training camp at Zou-
afques, for three weeks, after which
it was sent to the Belgian front in
July.
The Thirtieth Division, with the
Twenty-seventh, was brigaded with
English regiments and its first action
was at KENNEL Hill, where the Ger
mans had been entrenched for four
years and which the French were bet
ting would not be taken by the Amer
leans. The doughboys captured the
hill, however, after some Of the most
brilliant fighting Of the war up to that
time. They had many casualties,
however. and as first aid man, Ruff
worked night and day for week. The
division was then sent to Bours,
France, where it took special training
in advancing behind the tank bat
talions. The Thirtieth and Twenty
seventh were then sent to between St.
Quentin and Cambria, where on Sep
tember 26, the great assault was be-
gun against the Hindenburg line.
The Germans made stubborn resist
ance but the doughboys smashed the
famous line and showed the Huns
back several miles before being re-
lieved. In that drive the division
lost many Of its best men.
after that we went back to what
was called rest camp" said Ruff.
I'VE were there only two days when
we were snt up to the lines again on
October 5. On October 8 we started
another drive. / was kneeling on the
ground dressing a wounded soldier

He declared the Germans did not

Saturday was a week ago and en-

through Alsace-LOraine and Luxem-

reached Coblenz where we remained
all day until about night when we
pulled out again and crossed the
Rhine on our way to this place,
which is about twenty miles from
the Rhine. The place we are sta
toned in, is Goldhausen, probably
isn't on the map but nice little
town anyway, az all the Germans
have nice houses. all of which are
lighted up with beautifully shaded
electric lights The house where |
stay has marble door cases and

are we'll situated here The people
treat us good, but probably know

There certainly IS some beautiful
scenery all through Alsace- Lorraine
and here also. IT'S beautiful along
the Rhine. as there are cliffs along
the waters edge almost a thousand
feet high with beautiful old castles
upon them. Tell papa he should be
here if he wanted to hunt deer. for

be given an added beauty with the
many pretty wedding presents they
have received. The bride, of the pref
ty blonde type, was becomingly at
