EMINENT INSURANCE
(By Associated Press.) }

Phila lelphia, Sept 3.-An old pea
man in her village by a letter from
the War Risk Insurance Bureau Of the
American government. The incident
is told BY member of the Friends
Relief Mission in Poland who writes:
''We were just driving into the
town of Hrubieszow in the war-rav
ared district of Poland when 4 peasant
woman, clad in rags, and barefooted,
came up to the wagon and presented
a letter which she could not read. 1t
proved to be from the War Risk In
surance Bureau at Washington, stating
that her son had died in the American
army and that his insurance would
come to her for 20 Years, at the rate
Of s25 a month. Already there was
5000 waiting for her, which would
! be sent shortly by check.
"The woman's face was shadoWed
as she heard of her SON S death but it
/ frightened with amazement when she
heard of the money. The son had not
j been heard from for three years and
i his death had been taken for granted.
She had other children and they had
all been living in dugout, with no
wood for building a house and no i'm

makes, at the present rate of exchange

make her the richest woman in the vii
LACE and probably in the country.

and he said that when she. made he'
mark upon the check The local bank
would pay her the money. Only, Of
course. no local bank would be able
to cash SO large a check without firs1
getting the money from Warsaw.

difference between America and Po
