Uncle sam IS
PAYING THE BILL
1t Runs Into Billions of Dollars,
But Those Billions Went In
stead of Millions of Lives.

Uncle Sam has raised for his war
through the medium of the four Lib
erty Loans. Shortly he is to ask for
$5,000,0o0, 900 more
This is needed for the completion of
his war obligations
Already some sac, 80a, 900, ee0 has
been expended Most of this next loan
will have been spent before 1t Ia in
Uncle Sans hands. For Uncle Sam Is
cleaning up his contracts paying his
contracts, paying his bills, as rapid
bills, as rapidly as possible.
The war will cost America more
than any of the other allied nations
But they bore the brunt Of the blood
toll. Their greatest cost was in hu-
man life.
Where Americas loss Of life ran in
to the thousands, theirs went into the
millions.
And but for Uncle Sans participa-
ton, with his weight of men and
money, the blood toll for all of us
would have been inconceivably more
staggering.
So whatever the financial cost
America got off cheaply. Between
dollars and lives there is no compar-
ison. Dollars simply don't count.
They will come back and the lives
never will
II, six months ago, we had known
that by lending the government SIS,
000,000,000 we could have saved 500,
900 lives, we would have furnished 1t
overnight.
But Uncle Sans obligations stood,
though the armistice was signed and
the war ended. He stands to pay the
bills. He must pay them.
e We must help 1t is our obligation

AiiS itoIhC oSINACS department OF
the Red Cross wishes to bring to the
attention of all men discharged from
the service the following points:
ADVANTAGES OF GOVERN
MENT INSURANCE.
1t is impossible to over empha-
size the advantage of keeping this
insurance in force. If the right to
continue it is lost, the holder cannot
again obtain insurance except from
private companies, at an increase in
cost. Moreovvr, many of the men
may have become uninsurable as a
result of the war through physical
impairment, and if they drop this
insurance, they will lose the last OPP
portunity for their families to have
such protection.
INSURANCE WILL LASPE
Unless premiums are paid with
in thirty-one days after the insur-
ed ceases to be in active service, in
surance will laspe. Checks or mon
ey orders should be made payable
to the 4. treasurer of the United
Stats and sent to the bureau of
War Risk Insurance, Attention of
Insurance Section, Treasury De-
partment, Washington, D. C.
The War Risk Insurance Bur
eau will grant reinstatement under
certain conditions if applications
are made within six months after
the date of laspe.
When insurance has been allow
ed to laspe in any instance, the in
sured will be assisted in being re-
instated by the Home Service of the
Red Cross.
Every person holding this insur
ance may keep it up for a period
of five years after peace is pro-
claimed by the President, upon reg
ular payment of premiums.
Not later than five years after
the termination of the war, this term
insurance may be converted without
Medical Examination into such 9th
er forms Of insurance as may be
prescribed by regulations and as the
insured may request.
In accordance with the provisions
of the law, these regulations will
provide for the right to convert into
ordinary life, 20 payment life, en-
dowment maturing at age of 81, and
into cher usual forms of insurance
but t will continue to be Govern
ment insurance.
Consult your home service before
allowing your insurance to laspe,
allowing your insurance to lapse.
Advanc notice will be sent to
them as soon as the Government ar
ranges the new forms of policies.

Soldier and Boy, Slayers,
Each Sentenced 20 Years
Boy Must Serve Long Term
For Shooting Young
Girl.

Justice Walter 1. Mccoy of the
District Supreme Court YESTERDAY
expressed his opinion very strongly
concerning Washington alleys while
sentencing John Jones, Is years old.
a eolored boy. who killed Virgie
Mill. Is years Of age, also colored. TO
twenty years Imprisonment.
THE alleys Of Washington are a
burning shame. What else could
you expect Of this boy, Jones, who
was reared in dirty, filthy alley
without a chance under Gods green
heaven to be anything else but q
criminal.
II went through some of these
alleys not long ago. I saw places
inhabitated by human being, in
which. If I permitted a pig to live,
I should be arrested"
Jones. who was a reader of "dime
novels" was showing the little Mills
girl. he claimed. how he had held
up two boys and took their money
away from them. The pistol was
accidentally discharged, he said,
killing the child.
At first the grand jury indicted
him for manslaughter. Upon fur
ther investigation, however, the
prosecution decided Jones harbored
a grudge against the child. Jones
is the youngest slayer to be SEN
fenced in the District. The shoot
ing occurred last April 6.

The Agricultural Bill.
EXPECT WILSON
TO Save BOOZE

Advocates OF the proposal to repeal
the wartime prohibition act were
much encouraged yesterday by an un-
confirmed report that President Will
son will soon issue a proclamation de-
claring rehabilitation of the army has
been completed. This action on the
part of the President would prevent
the wartime dry law from becoming
effective July 1.
The report was that the President
had been advised of the strong senti-
ment in Congress against the repeal.
and that he had determined to exer-
else the authority granted him under
the law to nulIify the July i act. Jus
tification of this course is seen by the
vets in the announcement of Gen.
March, chief of STAFF, yesterday, that
the last Of the drafted and National
Guard men have been started home-
ward from France. and that only reg
ulars remain abroad.
The statement Of Representative
Fitzgerald, Of Massachusetts,. to the
House Judiciary Committee Thursday.
that he had been informed by the
War Department that demobilization
Of combatant troops win have been
completed by June Il. also is pointed
to as a further reason why the need
for wartime prohibition will have
ceased before the date for 1t to be-
come operative.

WINNIPEG POLICE
Threaten STRIKE
Kisses Greet Mayor When
He Asks Arbitration
Of Troubles.

Winnipeg. Man, June 7.-One hun
dred and fifty special mounted con-
stables. organized by order of Mayor
Gray. paraded the streets of winni-
peg yesterday.
Addressing 5000 returned soldiers
and strikers, Gray asked for law
and order. When he was hissed by
his auditors. who demanded a set
tlement of the general strike. he
replied the settlement was up to
the strike leaders.
The citizens committee, an or
ganization of employers, demanded
the resignation of the strike leaders.
Mayor c. F. Gray confidently
claims the strike is crumbling, and
that union members are merely
awaiting a chance to return to
work.
R. B. Russell. secretary of the strike
committee. laughed at the mayor s
claims. He pointed to the street rail
way tie-up. crippled telephone ana
postal systems and the handicapped
fire department as proof that labor is
holding out.
Many policemen expect to quit
rather than sign a pledge to the city
They are to be replaced by special
officers, sworn in by city authorities.
Many volunteers are patrolling the
streets. armed with heavy clubs.
All sporting goods shipped into the
city is stripped of firearms and am
munition.
The citizens committee blames
much of the trouble and threats of
outbreaks to aliens. Strikers asserted
this element was small and of no
power. but agreed to help eradicate it.
