MAY NOT PRINT
 PERSHING STORY

Old General Public may never get a chance to read Gen. Pershing's final report on what the American Army did in the World War. Congress has decided it is too expensive, according to The Stars and Stripes, Washington, D. c.
 About 100000 people, it is definitely known may be disappointed. That number scattered all over the coun- try, sent in requests for copies of the report, hard on the news that it had been printed. These requests came from educational institutions, libraries and host of individuals.
 The House has passed concurrent resolution calling for the printing of 100000 copies of the report, but with out the maps and charts.
 Secretary Baker, in letter to Vice President Marshall, says, "the state ments as to operations and battles cannot be read with understanding without the maps and the charts are so great an assistance that the report will be much more difficult to study without them"
 The public printer says putting 1T the mooted maps and charts will bring the cost to $46,0O0. Congress says that's too much mon ey.

In discussing the present price of coal and the difficulty in getting it into Paris, one official said: "We have to pay between 70 and 90 shill- ings a ton for coal f. o. b. Cardiff, which at the present rate of exchange makes the price between 140 and 1S0 frances a ton. Freight to a French port is 60 shillings ton. The freight to the interior brings the price up to big consumers who can buy in carload lots to between 250 and 300 francs a ton.
 At the normal rate of exchange on the dollar this figures out to from $50 to s60 a ton for coal. Which one might say is some price.

NEW RULING ON
 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. Cholmely-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 ben dis charged, 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 must accompany the application.
 (2) The applicant must be in as good health as at the date of dis charge, or at the expiration of the grace period, whichever is the later date, and so state in the application.
 The new ruling is the most impor- tant liberalization of War Risk h. surance since the passage of the Sweet 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 discharged more than IS mo.
 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 miums without a formal application or statement as to health.
 Reinstatement may also be made after 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, inclu- sive, after lapse, by complying with the same conditions, and in addition submitting a formal report of exam ination made by a reputable physi- clan substantiating the statement of health to the satisfaction of the Dir ector of the Bureau.
 In announcing the new ruling, Dir ector Cholmeley-Jo ones desires to en- phasize the fact that War Risk (term) Insurance or Government (converted) Life Insurance may now be made pay able to any of the following new and enlarged group of benefciaries:
 Parent, grandparent, step-parent, wife Cor husband), child, step-child, adopted child, grandchild, brother, sis ter, half-brother, half-sister, brother through adoption, sister through a. doption, stepbrother, stepsister, par ent through adoption, uncle, aunt, ne- phew, niece, brother-in-law, sister in-law; persons who have stood in the relation of a parent to the in. sured for' period of one year or more prior to his inlistment or in duction, or the child or. children of such persons, parent, grandparent,

Can Not Avoid Responsible y

SAYS DEMOCRATS HIDE
BEHIND SMOKE SCREEN
Hays Has Complete Faith That

Gated upon the necessity of reviving
patriotism in the country as the main
purpose in reestablishing an economic
and efficient administration Of the
country's government.
''The democratic strategy in this
campaign has desperately sought to
escape just and due responsibility
for democratic extravaganza, hypoc-
risy and failure to settle domestic
problems. The democratic manage
ment has attempted to hide behind
q. peace smoke screen, which is as
contemplate as the pledge of Presi-
dent Wilson to- keep us out of war.
"But America is uppermost in, the
American conscience today and that
means that the American voter is
intent upon making America first at
home as well as abroad, and the
democrat>party cannot avoid the re-
sponsibility for eight years of NAL
administration.
"The electorate is determined that
the accumulation of work in Wash
ington will not longer be denied at
tention that all the domestic prob
lens shall be solved Immediately,
before which problems the democratic
party for eight years has continued
impotent and in confessed bank
.ruptcy.
"The republicans have succeeded
in the earnest effort to keep their
campaign on the very highest plain.
In this course they will continue until
the end, unaffected in any way by
the depths to which the opposition is
determined in the concluding days
of the campaign.
II have complete 100 per cent
faith in a complete republican vic
tory this fall because l have 100
per. cent confidence in America

100 per cent evidence that this de-
pendable American intelligence will
certainly express itself in the No.
