PRINCE REGENT HOPES
TO VISIT AMERICA,

Mrs. Patterson described her re-
ception by the prince regent, who
sent through her a message Of cor
dial appreciation, not only to the
committee Of the Serbian Aid Fund,
but to everyone who is working for
the relief OF. his people, expressing
the hope that he might one day be
able to visit the United States and
express his thanks with his own
voice.
She further said that the spirit
OF the Serbian nation was summed
up In the message which the Bishop
OF Nish sent. He said:
Tell America that an old man
sends the blessing and gratitude of
a people who cannot speak for them
selves. Tell America that now, as
in the days of old, God sends his
angels to feed his starving people.
only today the angels have been the
american men and women who have
brought food. to the starving. cloth
ing to the naked, and medicine to
the sick"
From men, women, and children;
from crowned heads and peasants;
from statesmen, leaders, and SOL
diers; there was just one message
-one of thanks and appreciation
for, what America did during those
hard years of the war. and is still

MORANS LEAVE FOR MEXICO
 TO NEVER RETURN

George Moran and his wife, Betty both of whom are well known in Douglas from long residence, left Douglas last week on the Golden State limited armed with passports into Mexico, after having agreed never to return. They were banished. It was their own proposal. The woman, who is a confirmed drug user, as is her husband, has been confined to the city jail for several days. Her husband after seeing the authorities several times in an effort to get her out, final ly made the proposal that they would leave.
 Both George and Betty have been in jail here many times,- while each recently completed serving term in the federal prison on charges of vio- lating the drug act.
 George Moran is white man and his wife negress. Both are unus- ually repulsive in appearance.

REINSTATEMENT OF WAR
 RISK INSURANCE

Under a new and very liberal rul- ing of far-reaching importance to mil ' lions of former service men, issued by Director R. G. Cholmeley-Jones, of the bureau of war risk insurance, with'the approval of Secretary of the Treasury Carter Glass, war risk (term) insurance, regardless of how long it may have been lapsed or can celed, and regardless of how long the former service man may have been discharged, may be reinstated any time before July 1, 1920.
 The only conditions are:
 CD Two monthly premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated
 (2) The applicant must be in as good health as at the date of dis charge, or at the expiratio.i of the grace period, whichever is the later date, and so state in the application.
 The new ruling is the most import ant liberalization of war risk insur7 bill, and is designed for the special benefit of service men who failed to reinstate their insurance prior to the new law, and who have been dis charged more than IS months.
 Ex-service men may still reinstate their lapsed term insurance at any time within IS months following the month of discharge by complying with the same conditions. Within three months following the month of dis charge reinstatement may be made by simply remitting two months prem iums without formal application or statement as to health.
 Reinstatement may also be made af- ter IS months following discharge, as follows: If the insurance has not been lapsed longer than three months, by complying with the conditions out lined in CD and (2) above. From the fourth to the eleventh month, inclus- i've, after lapse, by complying with the same conditions, and in addition, submitting formal report of exam ination made by reputable physician substantiating the statement Of health to the satisfaction of the director of the bureau.
 In announcing the new ruling, Di- rector Cholmeley-Jones desires to em- phasize the fact that war risk (term) insurance or U. s. government (con- verted( life insurance may now be made payable to any of the following new and enlarged group of benefici- aries:

Waterfowl Frozen Captiyes in Ice.

CHICO, CAL.-Frozen into the ice on Goose Lake, hundreds of water fowl died in a recent storm, and doz- ems of birds were found on the wind- ward side of the lake so securely caked in ice that they were helpless and could be picked up without resist ance being offered.
 r Large numbers of waterfowl were attracted to the lake preceding, the storm by warm spell, but the sudden drop in temperature, mud hens, geese and ducks were trapped without a chance to escape, and they were soon covered with an icy spray into which they were frozen.
