COLOHESTER STORE LOOTED. Colchester, June 28.—Thieves in an sutomobile made their visit to town during last night, robbing the Tip Top Store of Mr. Laszinsk of about one hundred thousand dollars worth - of shoes, clothing and cigars. Ac- ,cording to the storekeeper the best &oods were selected. This same dis- criminating taste 'was shown in se- lection of goods to be carried away “iu the other burglaries.

The secretary has signed & call on | the leading life . insurance companies doing business in the United States to send representatives’ to ‘the meet- ing. Thig action was taken to over- come a condition about which there has been much complaint. It has- been found practically impossible for men who expect to g0 to the firing line to get insurance. Old line com- panies decline to . write such risks owing to the hasard due to subma- rines and the intensive trench fight- ing that marks the military opera- Hitherto there has been only com- Parative difficulty in getting insur. ance for officers and men in the reg- uylar army or navy. Rates have not ‘been considered unduly high, and but for‘the inconvenience of the rule that permits must be obtained for service in troplcal countries army men have fared reasonably well at the hands of the insurance companies, In addi- tion to the opportunity to take out insurance for the benefit of familles of army and navy men there has been for the last tén years the further ad- vantage of the benefit system main- tained by the government which offi- cers and men are entitled, in case of death in the Mne of duty, to a pay- ment of an amount equal' to half their yearly pay at the time of death. It is not proposed to alter or repeal the bemefit law, in arranging new insurance. “The war risk fnsurance bureau of the treasury department,” said ‘Sec- retary McAdoo, “is insuring the lives of masters, officers, and seamen of the merchant marine of the United States, and the question has arisen as to how insurance ‘on the lives of the officers and enlisted men of the army and navy can be effected most advantageously, through an exten- sion of the powers of the war risk insurance bureau or through - the combined agency or co-operation of the life insurance companies of the United States. It 1s expected that the discussion at the coming confer- ence will prove of great value in de- termining the wisest policy: ‘to be adopte “This 1s a great problem, and it ap- peals immediately and instinctively to the highest’ tboutht and purpose of the country. * Certainly everything possible should Be' done to" #ive nao- | tection to those who are dependent. upon the men who give their lives for their country, and to ameliorate the rigors and horrors or war. No or- ganized effort has ever been made by any govenment to ppovide this sort of protection and comforting assur- ance to its fighting men. Why should not America take the lead in this noble and humane action? “I earnestly hope that ‘as a result of the measures thus intimated a great system of insurance will be de- ‘vised which will give to every officer. soldier and sallor in the service of the United States the assurance that some provision is made for the loved ones he leaves behind if he is called upon to make the greatest sacrifice that a patriot can make for his coun- 0 REDUCE PRICES N GOAL AND BREAD Operators and Bakers See Hand Writing on Wall ‘Washington, June prices for coal and & return to the standard 6-cent bread loaf seems as- sured as the result of conferences here late yesterday. The president is expected to announce partial embargo on wheat and coal within 48 hours to aid these cost reductions. One conference was between the coal operators of the country and the coal committee of the Council of National Defense. They will agree, it is confldently predicted, on coal prices, allowing a fair margin of profit over the cost of production and no more. The other meeting was held by bakers representing 50 principal American cities, 'who volunteered to reduce prices. The coal operators of the ' country’| are holding daily meetings with the committee of the Council of National Defense and Gov. Franklin H. Fort, a member of the Federal Trade Com- mission. That Commission the cost of production of coal, the work starting in Baltimore. A force of expert accountants large enough to cover fully 50 per cent. of the tonnage which reaches Baltimore is at' work there. Corps of experts will be start- ed soon in other cittes. The coal operators decided to shift the responsibility for price fixing from their shoulders to the shoulders of Secretary of the Interior Lane, be- cause the operators fear the legality of any other arrangement. - They &p- pear to see the law. Gov. Fort informed the operators that the Federal Trade Commission had ample funds with which to fix the cost of coal, steel, irom, fuel oil, ce- ment lumber and other bastc commo- dities. He reiterated his declaration that the government did not want cosl 'HARRY ALEX GOIN Miss the ity. BUSINESS SALE $30,000 Worth of Furniture Must Be Sold at Less Than Cost.

The Council of National Defense has named Francis 8. Peabody of Chi- cago Chairman of a Committee on Coal ‘Production. The coal operators adopted a resolution providing for a ; permanent bureau for better co-oper- ation between the operators of the country and the Government. While these things were being done the American bakers completed their organization.. Headed by E. L. Cline of the Taggart Baking Com- pany, Indianapolis, they announced that they were prepared to reduce ‘bread prices by reducing bread waste. The five things the bakers declare down the bread price are: Cheaper wheat through the em- bargo megsures; reducing competi- tion and consequent overlapping de- % liveries to a minimum; no more bak- ing of fancy rolls, fancy bread loaves and tarts; stopping the privilege of | returning unsold ‘bread. In offering their organisation to Food Administrator Hoover the bak- ers told him they had 260 organiza- tion branches covering the entire bak- ing facilities of fifty of America’s principal cities. They sald they had a fund of $100,000 to use in teaching the people how to make bread sav- ingly. f With the wheat embarge in ' foypce, in this country will take an apprecia- ble drop, thus enabling the bakers to flower prices and still have a clear profit. The embargo which is expected on bunker coal will have a direct effect on the control of neutral and other shipping and will give the Shipping Board § weapon to.drive down pres- ent exorbitant freight rates.
