not go above their present grades to
teach. For example, a teacher in the
seventh grade must teach seventh
grade studies, and teachers In other
grades must observe the same rule
Final Recommendation toward open

Lack Money to Pay.

The startling percentage of lapses
Is due largely to the fact that the or
binary person when separated from
the service is unable financially to
pay the monthly premiums. You can
not expect a person to do the I'M
possible. When he leaves the serv-
ice he is uncertain as to the employ
ment and where he is going.
He Is Immediately confronted with
the present high cost of the actual
necessities Of life. He is usually
mentally and physically disturbed, due
to the strain and stress of war.
The premiums on his insurance
policy while in the service were taken
out of his pay. The government paid
the overhead expense of the bureau,
and the soldiers paid for their own
insurance. The two-year period will
give him time to settle down and as
sumo normal conditions. and during
that period he will still retain the
benefits to be derived from his in
surance policy for himself and those
who may be dependent upon him for
the necessities Of life. In the mean
time it will give the bureau of war
risk insurance an opportunity to adj
Just itself to the changed conditions
brought about by the rehabilitation of
the Army and Navy.

The bill also provides that the term

Corps on the date he leaves the active
military or naval service. for reasons
not precluding the continuance of in
surance after October 8. 1917, and on
or before September 80, 1919. shall be
continued in force for two years after
the end of the calendar month in
which he is separated from the active
service, without the payment of pre-
miums by the insured.
Provision Is also made in the bill
that persons who have separated from
the service, and who have paid their
premiums after being so separated,
the period Of two years shall begin to
run on the first day of the calendar
month succeeding the passage of the
act, or on the first day of the calen-
dar month succeeding the month for
which the premium was last paid,
whichever date is the earlier
Another provision is that a person
who converts or has converted his
term insurance before the expiration
OF the two-year period shall during
such period or the remainder thereof
be entitled to monthly credit on his
premium for converted insurance
equal to what the monthly premium
on his term insurance would have
been during the said two-year period

hccUSESpRES|DENT
:0F INCONSISTENCY
Senator. Sherman Cites Dis.
posaI Of Fiume and Shan
tung Under Peace Pact.

President Wilson was charged by
Senator Sherman Of Illinois with in
consistency when he opposed Italy's
claim to Fiume, while he supported
Japan's claim to Shantung. during the
debate in the Senate yesterday after
noon on the peace treaty and the
league OF nations =;
"a league Of nations born of repu-
diation of Italy's claim and the spoila-
ton of China Is cursed from birth
with an irredeemable outrage on the
right of two ancient and friendly
powers" said Mr.. Sherman.
"Fiume is Italian in blood. language
and traditions. Italy is justified In
asking to resume the natural relations
existing between Fiume and the
mother country.
Result Of ttsecret Treaty"
"shantung is given Japan pursuant
to a secret treaty. It was the price
of Japan's permission to China to de-
clare war with the allies. Japan's sac
rifces are unworthy of mention with
those of Italy. Her military forces
fought the German in Shantung to
seize the proceeds of Germany's. rob-
berry Of China. Neither international
law nor the new code Of international
morals based ,on the condemnation of
secret treaties can Justify the plumber
of China. The league of nations and
the peace treaty will be condemned by
the impartial historian for the sane
ton Of this fragrant crime.
President Wilson brands his de-
nunciation Of secret treaties with in
sincerity when he refuses Fiume to
Italy after her heroic sacrifices and
delivers Shantung to Japan in obedi-
ence to secret treaties after her
course Of studied selflshness in the
great war"
Italy Not Assured Of tranquility.
Senator Sherman said Italy knew
full well that tranquility on her
Adriatic border was not secured by
the league OF nations fiat"
THE new Jugoslav republis IL an
experiment" the Illinois senator said.
The attempt to fuse such a polyglot
people is characteristic of the fndif-
ference exhibited in the. league of ma
tions for actual as against ideal con-
dftions. 1t is a magazine charged
with all the elements Of potential ex-
plosion. By this treaty we leave
Jugoslovakia. another Mexico. on
Italy's east-northeastern front. Not
by my vote will I SO requite our loyal
associate for her faith and
sacrifice. Her unrequited acts and
service cry from the Paris conference
to American Justice.
