washington, June 1.-THE war risk
bureau its executives admitted To-Day
now confront another of the staggering
tasks that seen to overwhelm 1t each
time II begins to emerge from the dust
and CRIME of the preceding grappie'
This time il Is the task, stupenoous
in size and battling in its compleXlty'
Of successfully negotiating with each
of the 1900 900 soldiers and sailors, ac-
tive or discharged, for the purpose OF
persuading him to continue MS 1lVe-
year term insurance and convert IL
into a permanent contract. for when
the policy forms are now about READY.
If the bureau can not persuade
large proportion of the service men 10
convert and maintain their government
insurance, it will, according to its own
admission, be accounted failure on
the most important aspect Of govern
ment life insurance.
The chief reward the United States
has given the soldiers and sailors Is
the insurance opportunity. othei
countries have given lands and large
bonuses and unemployment allowance
but the only things the American SOL
der has got so far are the S6O bonus
and the privilege of carrying insurance
with the government for the rest of his
life. at a cost very much less than the
non service man can get it. 1t would
be considered a failure II the govern
ment were not able to persuade 42oo'-
600 men who are already insured 10
continue their insurance at less thah
actual cost, but the failure is consld-
cred small compared with the accom-
panying failure o. the benefits OF the
economy Of the nation that were anti
cipated by the trainers of the insur-
ance law. It was thought by them
that the provision the insurance made
for the families of soldiers who died
during the war was the least or us
benefits. The great. ultimate benefit
they had in mind was the realization
of the vision Of millions of men carry
ing insurance for an enormous totai
who but for their military service
would not likely have taken much, II
any. The benefits to the nation at
large Of having these millions of men
creating estates amounting to about
$40, 900, 900, 900 were foreseen beyond
measurements or even estimates.
That is why the war risk bureau
executives admit that they will have
failed if they can not find the way
to get the men to keep the insurance
thew have. The problem Of reselling
$40, 900, 900, 900 OF insurance is now be-
fore them A "follow-up" campaign
that should last twelve months would
cost several millions Of dollars even II
it should not go beyond the stage OF

For Free Bridges.

There seems to be good ground for
the hope that by Joint action OF the
Legislatures of Maryland and West Wiz
einia the bridges across the Potomac
river between these two States Will in
due course be made free bridges. Both
bodies have appointed commissions to
present data in regard to the purchase
or condemnation of the bridges at Han
cock, Williamsport, Shepherdstown and
Harper's Ferry, and there is strong
sentiment in favor OF acquiring them
and making them free to the travelling
public. The Maryland Legislature is
said TO be strongly in favor of the
proposition, which is backed up by pub
lie sentiment, with the idea of connect.
ing up the fine system of MARYLAND
State roads with the highways OF this
State leading to the South. Hon. Roy
C.. Grove, of Berkeley county, is chair
man of the House Committee OF the
West Virginia Legislature, while Hon.
Edgar B. Stewart is the chairman OF the
Senate committee. Mr.. Grove informs
us that our Legislature is ready to take
favorable action whenever the Mary
land authorities wish to unite in the
arrangements. Our committee in
charge of the matter has authority, we
understand, to 60 ahead with the ne
gotiations for purchase, or if prices
cannot be agreed upon, to institute
condemnation proceedings. We earn
estly hope that these bridges may be
made free highways. The people on
both sides Of the river would be bere-

$4,000 Bonus to be Paid Soldiers.

have received their final pay without
