cession to Pact.

Texts of, the formal notifications of
accession to the league of nations by
five neutral nations, including three
Latin American states, have been re-
ceived in Washington. First among
them is that of the Argentine Repub-
lie. which. through NJ. T. D'Alvear,
its minister resident in Paris. wrote
to Sir Eric DrummOnd. the secretary
general of the league of nations, that
he had received instructions from
his government TO adhere unre-
servedly to the. league of nations
The Paraguayan minister in London,
Cecilio. Baez, wrote that his govern
ment "unreservedly accepts the cove
nant of the league of nations and
that at binds itself to send its dele
gates to the first assembly which will
be summoned by he government
named in the covenant" 81"
In signifying the adhesion of Chile
the minister of that country in Lon
don declared "the republic of Chile
makes no other reservation than that
of pronouncing in due course upon
such aam endments or notifications of
the covenant as may be made by. the
states which have not ratified it up
to the present" 1t is understood that
the purpose of this was to develop the
position of the United States before
finally committing the Chilean gov
ernment.
Persia "adheres unreservedly' in a
note signed by Firouz. the Persian
minister of foreign affairs. Also
Persia bound itself to fulfill the
duties and obligations imposed on the
states belonging to the league and to
send delegates to the first general as
sembly of the league"
The Spanish AMBASSADOR in London
recorded the accession of his govern
ment in note in which. after recit-
ing the unanimous act of the cortes
giving the necessary authority, he
said that Spain joined the league
without reserve"

Greatest Shipyard to Launch
Last Wartime Ship
in June.

PHILADELPHIA. March 3.-The
land. built to overcome the ravages of
the German submarine and help win
the war for the allies, will launch IT'S
last wartime ship in June and turn 1t
over to The government in September

ernmeut 122 vessels. Il record of more
than one ship week since the first
boat was sent overheard in August,
1918.
Worlds Launching Record.
There have been several double
launchings in one day, and on Memo
rial day last year Ave ships Were
launched in little more than an
hour, establishing a world record.
When Hog Island was going at top
speed during the war, with ffty way
occupied, approximately $4,000 men
Were employed. This force has been
reduced to about $4,000, and after the
last ship is launched in June the force
will be reduced to % per cent of this
number These men will complete and
equip the ships still left to be turned
over to the government.
Price "a Stumbling Block.
What is to become of Hog Island is
the great pfob4en con- foh'lnS t''
owners of the yard. Recently the
United States Shipping Board took
over the title to the ground. Philadel-
.phia has been urged to take over the
yard and continue it either as ship
building plant or convert it into
great terminal.
Efforts to interest the state have
also been made, but the amount of
money required to buy the great plant
has been a stumbling block. 1t was
proposed that the state purchase the
900 acres with two miles of water
front and lease them out to manufac-
turing and other concerns.

A GRAND MOVEMENT.

The decision Of the Improvement
League to start fund for memorial
building will meet with the approval
Of every man and woman in this city.
We all honor the boys who went
from here, offering their lives to
stern the tide Of Prussianism sweep
ing the world. and it is only right and
proper that we should show these
boys, who have returned, that we ap-
preciate the sacrifices they made. A
memorial building, dedicated to them
and erected for their use is concrete
evidence Of our appreciation. 1t
would be lasting memorial to those
who fell and those fortunate enough
to return.
All the net proceeds of the play,
1.-THE Trouble Chasers" to be given on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
nights next week, will be set aside as
the foundation of the memorial build
ing fund.

YOUR GOVERNMENT INSURANCE

This is warning to you. ex-service
men, in regard to your Government
insurance, given you by one of the
best friends that you had while you
were in the ranks and as faithful
since your discharge; the American
Red Cross.
! 1t you are like most of your bud
dies, you dropped your insurance at
discharge and thought that you would
reinstate it at later date. This time
has never arrived. You have decided
that too much time has passed and so
you have not done anything further
about it. You We're dissatisfied with
some Of the regulations anyway and
rather thought that Old Line Insur-
ance would suit your needs better. In
all of this you have made mistake.
/ The best thing that you can secure
from your service is the insurance
which Uncle Sam offers you. No mat
ter when you were discharged you are
allowed to reinstate any amount of
insurance you wish to carry, before
July LIST, 1920. Don't neglect doing
something with your insurance before
this date. At least give it careful
consideration, and know why you are
dropping it. You only pay on the
amount of insurance you wish to car
ry, be it one thousand or ten thousand,
for the month in which you dropped
it and the month in which you rein
state. For example, if you want to
carry 100000 and were paying
$3.50 a month when you were in SER
vice, simply send in sixty-nine. cents
on every thousand insurance you wish
to carry, for the two months and you
will be back on the books. You can
carry the insurance in this form for
five years after peace is declared.
Some time you must change it into
permanent form.
Permanent Government Insurance
is cheaper than that offered you by
Old Line companies. as a careful COM
parison Of figures will convince you.
This is because Uncle Sam does not
charge you for overhead expenses
which the Old Line companies cannot
avoid doing.
You can probably locate someone in
your town who is working in connec-
tlon with the American Red Cross,
who will help you to reinstate and
who has the necessary blanks for this
purpose. II you do not locate such a
person, write direct to the Home Ser
vice Section. Council Bluffs, Chapter,
