 Applications are being received by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance for changing the present term insurance, which. was issued at the time of en- tering the service, into the permanent forms.
 Ten features which prominently stand out in the government policy are as follows:
 1. The total permanent disability clause is granted without cost to the insured and it is free fro mall restric- tions.
 2. Government insurance does not charge it's policy holders any overhead expense.
 8. It contains an extremely liberal definition of disability. ,
 4. It gives very substantial pay ments.
 5. It contains no age restrictions.
 6. It is unrestricted as to travel, residence or occupation.
 7. Premiums paid in advance are refunded down to the month, in case of death.
 8. The policy is non-taxable. 9. Unusually liberal cash, loan, paid up insurance and extended term insurance values are included.
 10. It participates in dividends.
 If the policy holder is unable to keep the full amount of the War Risk Insurance he carried while in the ser vice, he may reinstate part of it from $1 ,0OO up to $10yO00 in multiples of $500. Reductions may be made in multiples of $500 to any amount, but not less than $1,000. Premiums are due on the first of the month, al- though payments may be made dur ing the calendar month.

Full Explanation,

Private Hodges sat in his hut try ing to clean his rifle. Suddenly he heard his name called.
 "Here!" he shouted, running out.
 "Wanted in the orderly roOm," said the sergeant; and Hodges followed him with bulging eyes and sad heart. But he cheered up when the adJutant addressed him thus:
 T have a letter from your father. He is anxious to purchase your dis charge, as he, needs you to help him in his business" remarked the adju- tant looking at him keenly. Now, Private Hodges, what is your fathers walk in life?"
 Hodges eyes bulged more than ever.
 "P-please, sir" he blurted, "he's b-b-bandy"

reign OF TERROR IN
BERLIN IS CONCLUDED
Uprising of Spartacans Put
Down and Law and
Order Restored.

Berlin, Jan. II, (By the Associated
Press) )---Berlin's long week Of Boil
shevism is ended. Here and there
scattered desperadoes, mostly youths
still fire occasionally, from some
housetop and during the nights at
tempts are made by small bands of
the followers of DR.. Karl Liebknecht
to revive the reign of terror. They
are insignificant however, compared
with what has passed.
4 few Spartacans tried to recap
ture the Charlottenburg police head
quarters the night after they were
taken by government troops.
DR. Liebknecht's sister was arrested
today and several hundred rebels are
locked up awaiting trial which, in as
much as martial law was not pro-
claimed, must be left to the regular
courts.
Losses inflicted on each side dur
ing the past week are as vet estimat-
ed only roughly. but It Is believed
that they will greatly exceed 200
dead and a Thousand wounded. The
overwhelming majority of these are
Bolshevists.
The reinstatement and arming of
the police gives the government q
new force of trained men who know
the criminal world and whose absence
during the first days of the revolu-
ton gave the disorderly element a
free hand. Police records, including
those of the Bertillon system, were
not destroyed, as was first reported.
Detectives are already rounding up
old acquaintances and the work of
disarming lawless elements is pro-
ceeding.
Property losses during the past
week of terror amount to tens of mil
lions of marks, in addition to the
damage to newspa per plants and gov
ernment buildings. Merchants losses
through looting are very high, one
youth being captured with $4,000
marks worth of jewels which he had
stolen. In some streets near the po-
lice headquarters nearly every store
was systematically looted.
Bolshevist troops holding the Sile-
sian station had so much butter that
they used it to grease their guns and
boots
The center Of the city has been
quiet all day today. Late this evening
a few shots were heard in different
parts of the town, being fired by sni-
pers and looters, Merchants having
shops along Unter den Linden took
down their shutters and business
went on as usual.
The government has no intention
Of slackening efforts against the
Spartacans the Abend Zeitung says it
learns from best authority. Emergen-
cy measures are being taken against
the leaders of the movement. 1t is
reported that documents found by
loyal troops show that the Spartacan
uprising was inspired from Moscow.

Former Mission Employe Saw
5000 Little Boys Buried Alive
THREE YEARS COMING HOME
Hautune Tashjian, With Wife and
Children, Escaped From Persccu-
tors and Lived In Mountain Cave
With kurtIs for IL Months.

ArmenlanS III this city are entertaln-
ing Hautune Tashjian, a refugee from
Harpoot, Turkey, who has spent the
past three years returning TO this
country with his wife and two chill
dren after escaping massa creS by the
Turks. Tashjian is al American citi-
zen and speaks good English. He
went to Harpoot 4 years ago and be-
came associated with Il Congrega-
tional mission, being employed as an
instructor in tailoring in q boys or
phan asylum.
Previous to the Turkish massacres,
there were 100000 Christian Armen-
ians in Harpbot. Tashjian and 22
companions escaped but whether the
others were successful in fleeing to
safety he does not know. He does
know that many thousands were
slaughtered and he testified that he
witnessed the burying alive of 5000
little Armenian boys by the blood
thirsty subjects of the sultan. Tash-
jian asserts that the massacres were
directed by German military officers.
Tashjian fled from Harpoot on June
%, 1915, with his wife and children
Azad, a girl, aged 9 years, and James,
aged 8 years. For IL months they
lived with Kurdish tribes in the
mountains and subsisted on grass and
other vegetation they were able to
gather. They spent the greater part
of the time in a cave and at night
the father foraged forth anr at night
wild grapes that abound il that re-
gion. When the Russian armies in
vaded that district the Tash jams were
able to escape and start for Vladivos-
tok, Siberia.
At Harbin, Manchuria, they were
cheered by the sight of American,
French and British forces. Tashjian
is generous in his praise Of the Am
erican Red Cross and the Y. M. G. A.
without whose aid. he says, his family
would have perished. He pays par
ticular compliment to Director Frazer
of the Red Cross in Siberia, aid on
returning to this country visited the
home of Mr.. iFrazers sister. Mrs.
Austin, at Dedham. Mass. and
brought her word from her brother.
Tashiian declares the atrocities of
the Turks were beyond description.
They slew all the old men and women
as well and children, and dragged the
young girls off to their harems.
