Insurance For Service
Government insurance is now
limited to ex-service men who
took out their insurance during
the first four months of their ser-
vice, or prior to February, 1918,
if they entered the service before
October, 1917. Among those who
had these qualifications, thous-
ands allowed their insurance to
lapse after leaving the service;
the law provides a way for these
men to renew their insurance
within a reasonable period. Ad-
vantage of this has been taken by
a good proportion of those who
let their policies lapse.
Of the ex-service men who are
at present without Government
insurance there are many who do
not desire insurance for one rea-
son or another, but a smaller
group of men who want it appar-
ently remain uninsured because
of inelegibility under the quali-
ficatons mentioned above.
In asking the amendment of
the law so that these men may
be allowed to take out Govern-
ment insurance, the Stars and
Stripes, a service weekly, puts a
- proper emphasis on the fact that
the Government conducts its in-
surance business to-day like any
insurance company, with the pro-
fits, the losses and the commis-
sions eliminated. Allowing more
ex-service men to take out insur-
ance would not cost the Govern-
ment anything. Like every other
concern selling insurance, the
Government operates with the
mortality tables as a basis.
‘Vbatever reasons caused a first
failure to take out insurance,
there is no reason for discrimina-
tion now against who stayed out.

Efficiency 0f Troops
Statistics now given out ind.-
cate that the Central Powers dur-
ing the years 1914-1918, with a
total mobilization of 22,850,000
men, inflicted 22,090,000 casuali-
ties, while with 42,189,444 saldiers
the Allies caused the enemy but
15,405,000 casualities. It follows
that the Central Powers infiicted
. 966 casualities per thousand of
their own mobilization, while
their opponents caused but 365.
The War Department sees in
these rather startling figures a
lesson in preparedness. “The
great mass of soldiers of the Cen-
tral Powers,” it says, “had been
trained and equipped prior to the
outbreak of the war, while the
soldieis of the Allied and asso-
ciated Powers were to a great ex-
tent hastily trained and equipped
after the outbreak of the war.”
A reliable estimate of the los-
sea by nations rather than by
sides would no doubt render the
‘ true lesson more evident..By_ far
; ale largest loss sufiered by any
of the Allied Powers seem’to have
occurred among the Russians. The
.. extermination of the old army of
the Users, its replacement by new
peasant levies indiflerent "to the
late of the monarchy, supplies
one necessary means to explain-
,ing the easy success of the re-
olution.
xcessive losses resulted from
practice of the Russian gene-
of pitting their man power
t the superior; equipment
power of the Teutons
gsriaus. Every Russian
' was overpaid with lives,
successes of the enemy
won chiefly by means
sive gun fire.

To the Editor of '
The Evening Sentinel,

Dear Sir:
On behalf of the Near East Redief
and the thousands of sufferers the or-
ganisation is caring for. I wish to ex-
ress to the people of Norwalk and
district. the deep appreciation we all
the Bundle Day appeal last Thursday.
No less than seven and a half tons
of clothing and shoes were gathered
into. the Mahackemo Hotel.
To Prof. Buchanan and the princi-
pals of the various schools and the
merchants who furnished the trucks
and collected the bundles from the
schools. and all others who so kindly
assisted, the success of Bundle Day is
due.
Words really fail me in my endeav-
or to state how grateful I am pet'-
sonslly, for I know so well‘thev value
of every bit of clothing and my heart
was in every sack I picked up. Three
hundred sacks and sixty~eeven parcels
have been dispatched to New York for
ballng and shipment to the Near
East.
I would also like to express my ap-
preciation for the publicity given the
appeal by the local newspapers.
Yours sincerely.

In it._Smith stated he was of sound
friends.
Dr. Joel T. Boone. Daugherty's phy-
ment house. was called in a d sum-
moned Coroner Nevitt, who tsued e.
verdict of suicide.
William J. Burns. head of the in-
of Justice. said Smith had been
extremely nervous in the past few
days. though few persons had no-
ticed it. Burns said Smith apparently
had lost his reason through worrying
over business troubles.
Outwardly. however. Smith seemed
in good spirits. ‘
' He was a. blg man_physicaily. who
usually seemed carefree as a boy. He
became known to leading Republican
politicians all over the country. when
during the 1920 campaign he was
one of the Harding party at Marion.
Smith had for many years been a
close friend and a devoted admirer of
Attorney General Daugherty. He got
the name of "Daugherty's Boswell."
I-Ie accompanied Daugherty to Flor-
ida. this winter 'and stayed with him
until his return. Since then be had
been living at the attorney general's
apartment here.
Daugherty was notified of the sui-
cide at the White House where he is
the Residents' guest. He and Dr.
Boone will make arrangements for
the funeral. '
