N e e 10—A (NSULT AMERICANS |Report from “Near IN JUAREZ STREETS Tension Between Two Nations at Border Shown by Contemptuous Attitude to “Gringos.” GAVIRA SHOWS HIS KATEED} T | EL PAXO, Tex., March 18.—The | tension between the two nations at | this point on the border was no- ticeably sharper today, as far as Juarez was concerned. General Ga- vira coupled his announcement as to the whereabouts of the American troops with a statement that he would no longer recelve American newspaper correspondents. Few Americans visited Juarez today and those few returned with word of 8| decidedly hostile attitude shown to- ward them by the Mexicans. In some instances the children in | the streets threw mud at visiting Americans and shouted insults after them. Customs officials on the American side of the international | bridge reported that they had heard scattered shots fired in Juarez dur- ing the past two nights, but were unable to ascertain the cause of the shooting. Threatened with Death. Andres Garcla, Carranza consul here, announced today that he was being bombarded with threats of death and fnsults sent through the mails by fol- lowers of Felix Diaz. He sald that simi- lar communications were being sent to General Gavira in Juares. One such communication was written on a copy of an American newspaper whica had large headlines announcing that Carranza had agreed to permit American troops to cross the border. ' Over this was written: “You arée a traltor to the national honor of Mexico and will meet the fate of such.” { Another letter contained high flown | phrases of Felix Diaz and denounced | Carranza and Garcla as betrayers cf | thelr country. A third missive contained | a fairly well-drawn caricature of the | first chief, surrounded with obscene and menacing comment., Consul Garcia sald that he had de- talled some of his agents to trace the senders of these lotters and that he was practically certain of thelr identity. He #ald that as soon as he was sure of his | men he would probably lay his informa- | tion before the American authorities.

INSURANCE IN FORCE % $3.356.019.00 1906/ $8,034,777.00 007 / $12,012,816.00 $65,803,227.00 $77,137,929.00 ,305.00 Our Symmetrical Growth Makes This Pyramid Possible TO POLICYHOLDERS: While the history of this company for the past eleven years has been an unbroken record of steady prog- ress and financial success, the extraordinary percentages of increase in insurance in force, assets and surplus, make 1915 the best year in the entire life of the institution. During 1915 the percentage of net increase in Insurance Account to New Business was 529, probably the greatest of any company. DOES INSURANCE PAY? Upon policies which became claims last year there had been paid total premiums of $68,415. Families of the insured received back every dollar of the premiums and $285,467.72 IN EXCESS OF THAT AMOUNT—or a profit of over 589 per cent on the investment. Old-line-insur- ance in these 169 instances had superla- tive merit AS AN INVESTMENT. YES! INSURANCE DOES PAY. Our business is limited to the interior section where living conditions are favor- able and as a result the death rate of the Company continues low. Death claims paid last year amounted to $4 per $1,000 of insurance in force. Good interest earnings and low death rate enable the Kansas City Life to furnish protection at the LOWEST NET COST. New insurance issued has averaged $72,000.00 for every business day of 1915, increasing the number of company pa- trons to approximately 50,000 persons. The Kansas City Life has always been conspicuous for economy in administra- tion. The total compensation of Home Office officials, directors and employees, last year was $68,698—Iless than 215 per cent of income. More than eighty-five per cent of the Company’s funds are safely invested in first mortgages on improved real estate, school bonds and loans to policyholders, at satisfactory rates of interest, Con- stantly increasing land values in the West make farm mortgage loans highly desir- able investments. The ratio of assets to liabilities was substantially increased during the past year—a striking evidence .of careful ad- ministration of the Company’s affairs. The excess of income over operating expenses was $1,880,864.49, of which $973,299.68 was paid to policyholdars and $850,859.68 was added to their reserves— thus 76% of the entire premium income was devoted to policyholders. The Kansas City Life dominates in its home territory in the amount of new ine surance issued. During nineteen-fifteen, as in former years, its new business in western territory, including Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma and northern Texas, was the greatest of any American company. This institution could receive no higher endorsement than this generous recognition and patronage from home territory where the company is best known.
