, INSURE EVERY SOLDIER 1S PLAN OF COVERNMENT Before Congress Adjourns War Administration to Propose Federal Insurance ONE MILLION $4,000 POLICIES PROPOSED Officials Busy Now on Gigantic Plan to Protect Men at . Front By MILTON BRONNER. Washington, July 12.—Before this congress: has a chance to get away, the administration is going to ask it to pass legislation which will enable ‘Uncle Sam to go into the life and accident indemnity insurance business on the biggest scale in history. At one ‘blow, the administration wants to in- sure one million soldiers and sailors and to prepare to insure other ‘mill- jons as called into service. Impelling ‘Reasons. There are two impelling reasons for this: the administration wants to avoid a huge pension avalanche after the war; second, the insurance: com- panies themselves-asked: too much to carry insurance policies on our. fight- ing forces. Most of them demanded $100 per $1,000 of insurance, in addi- tion to the regular premium. This looked like penalizing patriot- ism to Charles F. Nesbit, superin- tendent of insurance, District of Co- lumbia. Accordingly he proposer to \ War Secretary Baker that the insur- ance companies be asked to form a board to pro rate the insurance on all the fighting forces and to cut the premium if possible. Not Practical. Examination proved this not very practital. For instance, if insurance were taken out on 1,000,000 men, the premium, amounting to $21,000,000, would be digstpated as - follows: $5,000,000 for: medical” examination; $10,000,000° for agents’ commissions; $2,000,000. for other “expenses. ‘This would leave only $4,000,000° to be ap- plied to the risks, If the government itself insured the men, there would bé no expense in connection withagents, medical ex- aminers, etc. so, it, could. take the risks at’ much less. coat:than- the com- ‘panies.

In addition, each man may buy extra insurance to the arnount of $6,000 on terms as favorable as in peace time, the government issuing the policy. The scale of indemnity for injuries is being worked out. It is also proposed to:center in this indemnity bureau the paying of sepa- ration allowances to the dependents of soldiers and sailors. This has never been done in this country, but Canada and England have done it throughout this war. In order to carry out these insur- ance and allowance plans specific leg- islation and appropriations will be re. quired, but it is not anticipated con- gress will balk, as the subject will THIRTY-SEVENTH YEAR, NO. 163 Germans Practice All “COUNTY. Bd ‘VE ORGAN \ REPORT Forms of Brutality on Deported Belgian Citizens Havre, July 12—The Belgian gov- ernment has received from various sources evidence proving that deport- ed subjects are subjected to mistreat- ment to bring them to forced labor for the German army. The evidence ex- poses insufficient nourishment, cruel punishment, brutal intimidation, and hard conditions of lapor under which many deported civilians succumb, while a larger portion return so re- duced and weakened that they are in- capable of physical efforts.

HOLWECE. AS RESIGNED POST OF CHANCELLOR Kaiser Delays Acceptance Until He Confers With Imperial Council REICHSTAG INSISTS UPON CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS Berne, Switzerland, July 12—The Vossiche Zeitung of Berlin says the German Imperal Chancellor, Dr. von Bethmann-Holwegg, has resigned. Emperor William, the report adds, has postponed his decision whether to accept the chancellor’s resigna- tion. An official communication issued in Rerlin yesterday says Emperor Wil- liam expressed the opinion that the political and constitutional reforms domanded by the reichstag are such that they concern not merely himseltf, but his successor, inasmuch as chey were to be .permanent. For this reason, the emperor summoned the crown prince. to attend one or more of the crown councils at the ‘final de- cision ‘regarding the extent to which the’‘crown and the government will make ¢oncessions to the reichstag will be reached. Emperor William had an interview lasting several hours with Chancellor von Bethmann Hollwegg, and received his report on the ,political situation, according to» semi-official dispatches from Berlin. racy Lop So mtr ‘DELAYS MEETING. “Berlin, July 12-The ‘reichstag, which planned to meet Wednesday probably will not convene: until the ‘May committee; whose” sé8aion was postponed, at’ the“ réd\iest! of Clancel- ae pani Holwege, has com- fertberati q bas ARD COTS QUT FEES WN EW GRA GRADE ACT Doubtful as to Constitutionality of Feature—Leaves No Mon- ey for Deputies. “a ' Fearing for the constitutionality. of ‘the clause which provides for the as- sessing of a fee for each load of grain or other farm products weighed and graded under North Dakota’s new grain grading act, the state railway commission today voted to eliminate that feature of the law until the courts have passed on it. : It had been estimated that this grain grading fee would net a revenue of at least $500,000 per annum, from which the act provided for setting aside 25 per cent each year for the creation of a terminal elevator fund. With the elimination of this fee the act must depend for the payment of inspectors’ salaries and other expenses upon the $10 fee which deputy inspec- tors are required to produce. It is very doubtful whether this amount / come very close to millions of fam- + ilies. JEWISH RELIEF TO BE URGED Rabbi Sternheim to Speak at Auditorium Sunday After- noon On Sunday afternoon at 3:30 Rabbi Sternheim, representative of the American Jewish relief committee for sufferers of the war, will address a public meeting at the Auditorium. Ev- erybody is invited to attend. The re- lief committee is trying to raise the sum of $10,000,000 for the relief of the destitute Jews in war-ridden Eu- rop Rabbi Sternheim is a most forceful speaker, and from his home town, Sioux City, Iowa, word reaches The Tribune that there are few men in the states better able to portray the sufferings of his people than he. Other speakers, prominent on the local platform, will be in’ attendance and help in this most worthy cause. will prove sufficient. The commission today also ap- proved the appointment by Dr. Ladd of J. A. McGovern, former grain grad- er for the Equity Co-operative ex- change at St. Paul, to be chief in- spector under the new act. Mr. Mc- Govern had 30 years’ experience in the farmers’ elevator business, in South Dakota before, he went to St. Paul. The abolition of a revenue to be derived from fees raises another con- stitutional question. The act provides that all grain must be inspected be- fore it can be purchased Therefore there must be inspectors at every ele- vator. The law pkovides for the li- censing of elevator men as deputy in- spectors. The constitution also holds that no man’s property may be seized for public use without compensation. The courts have ruled that a man’s time and services are propertv. There is said to he a question whether dep- uty inspectors can be compelled to serve ithout -pay. If they cannot, the fees must be re-established or an effort to operate the act abandoned. CAPT. LONNEVIK HERE-- Capt.

Woday Kalicez was officially report- ed captured. The German's attacked Monday on the Belgian coast ceased with the capture of the small sector east of the Yser, which the Germans had devastated. with their gunfire. ‘Neither last night’s nor today’s official announcement records fighting of mo- ment in this region, although the ary: tillery is continuing active.

Bic BREAKS IN CORN PRICES; Chicago, July 12.—hig. breaks in the value of corn resulted today from the. action of the board of trade di- rectors last night in establishing a maximum price for new crop deliver- ies. General selling took place as soon as the market opened, and quo- tations in some cases made a sheer descent as much as 5 12c. $1.28 For December. The fixing of a maximum of $1.28 a bushel for the December, 1917, and the May, 1918, corn was regarded by members of the board as practically putting a stop to speculation in the new crop ‘of that grain. . An official o fthe board said the establishment of a maximum price for December, and later options. emed necessary to bring trading conditions into har- mony with the government's war pol- icy of preventing undue’ speculation and unwarranted high prices to con- sumers. NEARLY 200 MEN [second officers’ training camp at Fort er last fall, and | |No Information on Draft Until Evening Of Drawing at Capital Washington, July 12.—Persistent in- quiries from all parts of the country for information about the method to be followed in selecting men for the national,army caused war department. officials to explain today that Presi- dent ‘Wilson’s determination to have fairness govern the process was re- sponsible for the decision to withhold the announcement of the exact plan until the eve of the draft drawing. The exemption regulations and all other moves in the making of the army have received the approval of the president personally and the draft regulations also will come from the white house. What is known now is that the drafting will be from serial numbers, corresponding with numbers on registration cards, and will prob- ably be made at the capitol. Secre- tary Baker or some other high official will draw the first number and then the process of selection will be pushed forward until there is flashed by tele- graph to every community the num- bers of the men drawn. It is under- stood the system planned is so simple that the work will be done in a few hours.
