England Holds Aioof

London. Nov. 12.-tBy Associated Presst-Great Britain is not likely to take individual action looking to the ejectment of ex-Crown Prince Fred erick William from Germany. Nor is it all probable that she will stress his banishment in any collective represen- tations which may be made through the council of ambassadors. it was de- elared here today.
 The governments law experts re- gard the legal aspects of the case ss uncertain and obscure. It is true the kaiser's heir appeared on the original list Of war criminals, as did ex-Croun Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, but the failure of the allies to follow up the prosecution of these men is regarded as impairing the legal merits of any allied claim thai Frederick William should be banned from Germany.

LIFE INSURANCE DECISION
supreme Court Makes Ruling On Date After Which They Can Bc Contested On Grounds of Fraud.

Washington, Nov. 12.-The period in life insurance policies after which they become incontestable on the ground of fraud, legally begins to run from the date on which the policy was issued even though that date antedated the original application.
 The supreme court so held today in a case brought by the Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York against the Hurni Pkg. Go. of Iowa.
 Rudolph Hurni applied for an in- surance policy on September 2, 1915, but at his request the policy was is- sued under date of August 23. 1915. He died July {. 1917. The policy contained a clause providing that it could be contested within two years from the date of issue. On August 2S. 1917, the company commenced an action in the federal courts Of an action in the federal courts in Iowa to have the policy cancelled on the ground of fraud. The final de- cision in the lower federal courts was against the company. on the ground that the two years had elapsed. That view was sustained today by the su- preme court

Face Value of Postage Stickcr Iess Than Cost Of Printing It-An

No difference has been noticed by local postal officials in the quantity Of mail coming and going between New Britain and Germany since the recent political and military troubles in that country, according to a state ment made at the New Britain post office this morning. A small amount of mail goes from this city to Ger many, probably less than 75 letters each day, and no material increase or decrease has been noticed lately.
 One change fin incoming mail from Germany which Is a striking indica- ton of the fall from grace of the German mark is the fact that letters now arrive stamped Postage Paid" but with no stamps attached. The reason for this is because the face value of the stamp. following the cur rent price of the mark. is considerably less than the cost of printing it. thus the government could sell stamps only al a loss. The last price for a Ger man postage stamp known here is said to have been about 75 million marks. which. since the mark is prac- tically worthless, means nothing at all.
