To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir: In

them are lapsing their insurance be-
cause they have been unable to get any
definite information as to the conditions
Of the insurance. The only thing that
they have received to show for their
money is certificates stating that they
had applied for insurance. and they are
under the impression that the policies
cover only death and total disability.
and they feel. especially the young fell
lows with no dependents. that in case
Of death they could receive nothing. and
the chances Of total disability are 30
remote that they are willing to take
the risk
have written to the department on
several occasions endeavoring to ascer-
tain the conditions of the insurance and
whether the Government did not issue
policies to the men stating the condi-
tons have also vainly endeavored to
ascertain to what date my sons policy

would be due. I am beginning to be
Indifferent as to whether he continues
the payment OF premiums or not.

Nothing pleases us more than to
see the Hon. JosEPHUs DANIELS en-
joying the Tour Triumphant. After his

Of them wants a job In his own

Paul's to see NELSON'S tomb and to
Westminster Abbey, where BLAKE is
buried. Maybe he runs up to Nacton.

Admiral VERNON, who discovered that
rum could be diluted with water and
still be palntable to the British sailor.
Perhaps he hunts up the grave Of
PHILIP AMADAs, who discovered North

Secretary Of the Navy who is also
blessed with literary appetite.

Let the ParIor Radicals Look on
Their Work.

The MANNED and suffering women
in the home of ex-senator HARpw1cK
OF Georgia whose injuries were in
flicted by an internal machine sent
through the mails from this city
would do a splendid public service if
they could come TO New York and
compel the parlor radicals that curse
the community with their ignorant
but potent encouragement of assassl-
nation as political practice to ex-
anime in person the fruit OF their
criminal folly.
Among certain idle men and women,
some of whom. thanks to the industry
and frugality of ancestors they dis
grace, are relieved of the necessity of
earning their llvings, it is considered
smart to affect revolutionary opinions
and to patronlze revolutionists. They
consort with the most dangerous ele-
ments of society to procure for them
selves the silly distinction of being
unconventional and to enjoy the SEN
sation Of associating with individuals
who may be capable Of murder If
murder can be committed at a safe
distance.
The food they pay for, the drinks
they dispense, the money they con-
tribute to the parasites with whom
they come in contact all serve to sup
port the worthless creatures from
whose ranks are recruited those who
are guilty Of such crimes as that
which eliminated in Mr.. HARDwIcK's
home. The trail Of responsibility for
that outrage runs from the criminal
who conceived the idea of wholesale
bomb outrages through the band of
artisans and their helpers who fabri-
Gated, wrapped, addressed and mailed

port have endeavored to strengthen

No moro through merry hours go skat-

No more was there the siimniest chance
OF Jolly fellowship and feting.
All pretty frocks were quito taboo,
No hat might sport a nury feather;
No maid might wear a high heeled shoe
IN any sort OF place or weather.

Glanced hopelessiy at Freedoms eagle.

Paying Out for Europe.

Our delegates in Paris are credited
with frowning upon the proposal of
the Powers that the United States
should supply billions of dollars for
German reconstruction so as to en-
able Germany to pay reparation to
the Allies.
We should think so! Before the
American people and the United
States Congress such a programme
would have about as much chance Of
being carried out as an offer to set
the HoHENzoLLERNs up in business
in the White House and the Capitol.
Yet, while the American delegates
have refused to accept the suggestion
that this country shall, in effect, pay
Off the Allies in behalf of the Ger
mans, the same delegates are quoted
as declaring to the Powers regarding
European reconstruction that they are
especially interested In seeing that
the new nations of Europe get on
their feet"
Perhaps the American delegates are
especially interested in that project.
But the American people are espe-
cially interested in the reconstruction
first of their own affairs. After that
somewhat important matter they are
especially interested in the reconstruc-
ton of the affairs Of our friends and
neighbors on this side of the Atlantic.
Canada, with her stupendous and
heroic sacrifices in the war, with her
part equal to that played by any ma
ton, needs and deserves our generous
and constant attention. She Is going

nearly five years ago. have been COM
PEELED to rely largely upon us for

own sake.

vorces for each 100000 Of population,
and by North Carolina with thirty
one.
But do many New Workers., ms we'll a s
citizens of other States, go elsewhere
for divorces7 The statistics do not
show the extent Of the practice. In
about one-third of the cases of 1915
the marriage and the divorce took
place In different States; but the Cen
sus Bureaus report remarks that It
does not follow that In all such cases
one Of the parties sought residence
in another State in order to get a
divorce, because a very pronounced
migratory movement is always going
on between the States. 1t Is worth
noting that with all Reno's notoriety
only 64S divorces were granted in
Nevada In 1915.
The primary impulse for collecting
these statistics was given by the In
ternational Committee on Marriage
and Divorce, which was seeking facts
In relation to the proposed amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States giving Congress power to legis-
late on all questions of marriage and
divorce. From the report the COM
mittee may learn that divorces are in
creasing faster than either marriages
or population: that there was an an
parent increase Of $50 per cent. in
1916 over 1906, as compared with an
increase Of 67.s per cent. in 1905 over
1896; that there is greater llberality
in the matter Of divorce in the West
than in the East; but, IL it is ad-
mitted that divorces will be inevitable
so long as there are unsuccessful mar
riagcs. the statistics do not seem to
disclose a condition calling for gen.
eral remedy.
