KEEP WAR RISK INSURANCE

1t is regrettable that so many for
mer service men are not keeping
up their government life insurance
issued through the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance in Washington. The
fact seems to be due largely to wide
spread confusion and lack of infor-
nation as to the right of former
service men to permanent govern
ment life insurance, and the process
by which this insurance may be re-
tanned.
The rehabilitation Of our armed
forces was so rapid and was at
tended by such uncertainty on the
part of service men as to future civil
occupations and permanent places
of abode that it was not surprising
that many of the men gave little
thought to the matter of insurance.
Others doubtless thought the origi-
nal term insurance WAR time In
surance) ceased when they were de-
modified and did not know it might
be converted into any one of the
several forms of permanent govern
ment life insurance converted in
surance). Still others, Immediately
upon their return to civil life, felt
financially unable to continue the
insurance. They should now take
advantage of the liberal provisions
for reinstatement.
The government is determined that
no former service man shall lose his
right to government insurance thru
lack of knowledge of conditions. To
this end the press, the pulpit, bank
ers, physicians and other profess
sional men, and the great volunteer
agencies of social welfare like the
Red Cross, the Y. M. G. A., the
Knights of Columbus, the Y. M. II.
A., the Salvation Army, the War
Camp Community Service, the Boy
Scouts, and many others are now
cooperating with the Bureau of
War Risk Insurance in an educa-
tional campaign designed TO reach
the former service men, wherever
located, and tell them the govern
ment is now committed to the policy
Of permanent life insurance for its
soldiers, sailors and marines.

Of persons who had never owned a
government bond bought because
they were patriotic.
Many Of these purchasers bought
on the installment plan, and when
they buckled down and made the
final payment they found they we're

learned lessons in saving and econ

every time that an interest day roll

dividends, they thought better of
what they had done.
Then millions began buying Treas

added to their holding of Liberty
Bonds when some one less fortunate
than they were forced to let go of
their bonds and sell them at sacri-
flee.

From every section of the United

extent that has prevailed in former

Bankers in all of the financial

Cold Spell Promised and Will
Present Most Serious Situa-
ton Ever Experienced
In Omaha.

With Omaha and many communi

fuel shortages. the local Unitet
States weather bureau yesterday pre-
dicted that a cold wave, moving
eastward from Montana, woule
reach here some time today.
If cold weather does reach Omaha
within the next "a hours the situa.
ton will be one of the most serious
ever experienced by the city, &C.
cording to local coal men, railroad
officials and members of the ter
minal coal committee.
The seriousness of the situation
was further emphasized when re-
ports reached Omaha yesterday that
the great mines in the vicinity OF
Sheridan, Wyo., which were pro-
ducing nearly normal amount last
week, were closed again yesterday.
Mine Supply Shut of.
Much coal from the Sheridan dis
tricts would have been diverted here
if the mines had continued 10 pro-
duce, coal men say. Reports re-
ceived by Burlington officials give
no reason for the closing of the
mines, and indicate no early re-
opening.

an average OF IS cars a day." H.
L. Snyder, acting chairman of the
terminal coal committee, said yester-
day. This coal 10 from the supply

sary requirements"

The situation among the large

of the Cudahy Packing company an
nounced that two large oil heating
appliances had been installed and a
third would be in operation by

Italian Premier Says
Europe Is Against War

They continually say we are on the
verge of revolution which is simply
absurd. Considering the exception
al moments Italy is passing through,
like all the European nations and
also after-war psychology, the gem
eral elections in Italy occurred with
extraordinarily few incidents worthy
of mention.
No Strikes in Italy.
"Now public order is perfect in
deed and this is a boast which few
nations can make nowadays. There
is not a single strike in Italy.
Everything leads US to hope that
the entire country is ready to devote
itself intellectually to the much
needed task of reconstruction. This
being the position of affairs in Italy,
it is easy to imagine how hard II

lea. | have often told them that
their obstnacy in not helping us
solve our difficulties is only ex-
planned by their having an incorrect.
that is, no just appreciation of our
efforts and sacrifices.
Italy Unjustly Treated.
at is useless to hide the truth.
Italy feels she has been unjustly
treated. Let US look at the question
dispassionately: Of the three Eu-
ropean powers which waged war
against Germany Italy is the coun-
try that, proportionately to her ma
tional riches. resources and popula-
ton, suffered the most and is still
suffering. We are still eating war
bread; the meat supply is absolutely
inadequate to the needs of the popu-
lation and there is not enough milk
for the children and sick. We have
no coal and are burning the re-
n1ainder of our forests.
I'm addition, Italy was the only
country among the allies which en-
tered the war spontaneously by its
own choice. France fought because
Germany invaded her territory;
England because SHc Hdu guar dr.
teed the neutrality Of Belgium and
would have dishonored herself by
being false to her word.
Why Italy Made War.
Italy was drawn into the conflict
by three reasons: BY her sense of
ideality; by her determination to
sacrifice in herself in order to
oppose a monstrous domination,
and finally, to- obtain her unre-
deemed national territory.
Italy freely chose to suffer. It
probably was not realized by our
allies absorbed in their own terrible
struggle, that during the war Italy
was often left to fight her battle
alone against all the forces of the
Austro- Hungarian empire, which
were superior to us in position, num-
bers and materials. After the col
lapse of Russia we struggled alone
and conquered"

fuel by conserving light Mr.. David
son said no immediate steps would
be taken. He pointed out that
