OF electric lights. A large percentage

PAST STILL VITAL IN Japan
Why Ancient Heroes Are Able TO Es.

No wonder that Japan's past is liv.

Asia Magazine. The ancient heroes
are not dead, but exert their subtle
influence through the intimate contacts
OF the daily life OF the people. One
meets them under a thousand gtses--
as legends imprinted on the common

people wipe their hands, as the ever

classic "Noh" dramas inherited from
the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries,
in the popular theaters, and, finally so
that no one may escape, in the mo

Japan are buried deep In the past, and
although the japanese student OF to-
day Is thrust unceremonlously into

VERMONT COMMITTEE
OF PUBLIC SAFETY
Office of the Secretary, Jan. II, 1918.
Re: War Risk Insurance

Office of the Secretary, Jan. II, 1918.
Re: War Risk Insurance
The Bureau Of War Risk Insurance
has authorized the following state
ment regarding the payments of insur-
ance premiums by discharged soldiers:
At the time Of the discharge Of an
officer or enlisted man who has taken
out insurance, he Is handed memo
randum Of information Oh which is
stated the amount Of his monthly in
surance premium until July /, 1919,
and the amount Of such premium for
each year thereafter for five years,
commencing with July LIST. This will
leave no doubt as to the amount of
each insurance payment. At the same
time each officer or enlisted man
should learn from his commanding
officer or the insurance officer the date
to which his premiums have been paid
by deductions from his pay.
Where TO Send Checks
IL the insured at the time of his dis
charge has learned the date to which
his premiums have been paid, he
should, ON the same date of the sue
ceeding month, send his premium to
the disbursing clerk, Bureau Of War
Risk Insurance, Treasury Department,
Washington, d. c., making the check
or money order payable to the Treas
urcr Of the United States, and should
continue such payments on the same
day Of each month thereafter.
II the insured has not been informed
as TO the date to which his premiums
have been paid by eheckage from his
pay, then he should without fail make
his LIST payment not later than 81 days
after his discharge, sending the check
to the same person and making it pay
able as indicated above. In his letter
he should ask to what date his prem
iums are paid by the enclosed pay
ment, and upon receiving that inform
alton, he should make his future pay
merits each month thereafter on the
date when il IL due For example, If
he was honorably discharged on Nov
enhcr 9th and made his first pay
mcnt en- December 9th and receives
information from the bureau that
such payment was due on December
18TH he should make his next payment
on January 18th End regularly on the
18th Il each succeeding month.
Blanks viii BE Sent Out
On receipt Of the first premium pay
ment and Of each succeeding premium
payment the Bureau Of War Risk In
suraace will send 10 the insured
blank to use in making his next pay
ment. II such blank Is no; received
or no reply received in response TO
the first payment, the insured should
nevertheless make his next payment
net later than one month liter than
the preceding payment, again asking
for information rs TO the date to
which his prcmiumn are thereby paid
In all communications the insured
should give his full name, including
both frs, and middle names, his grade
and organization a, the time Of apply
ing for insurance. his Army serial
number, the insur nee certificate num-
Der lif he hrws ~ the date Of dis
