ENGLISH WOMAN IS PROUD OF WILSON LOSES SON IN FRANCE A letter has just been received by Mayor White from his sister in England. In it she tells of the strain under which all of the people in that vicinity are under. They live directly in the path of airplanes that occasionally are sent over the country fror. Germany to raid Eugland Her letter, dated November 27, says that they have had no raids in that vicin ity for more than a month but they are greatly unnerved just the same. Her family has contributed a son, Fred, to the cause of war. He fell in an engagement hoi"uieast of Vermelles and the war department is now trying to locate his burial place for the mother's sake. Two others of her family have distinguished them selves in the service. One .son, George, has won the military cross for bravery in France and the other, a husband of her step-daughter, has been decorated with the Distinguished Conduct medal. "America's coming into the war has made it better for us," she writes. "I admire President Wilson because he seems to be a man who thinks twice before he acts and I always picture him as an upright, honest man, God knows we want clearheaded men .as leaders in this terrible war. An echo of the Lusitania disaster is sounded in her letter when she writes, "When we were at Broadstairs, we saw a boat that was washed up from the wreck of the Lusitania with sev eral bodies in it. It was purchased by a resident of Broadstairs, who pre sented it to the council, and under neath were the words, "Lest We For get." The letter had been opened by the censor. It is postmarked "Faver sham." GOVERNMENT LESSENS PENSION BURDEN BY SOLDIER INSURANCE The act which provides for Govern ment life insurance for soldiers and sailors has now been in operation a little more than a month. The Secre tary of the Treasury announced on November 17th, that up to that date 64,168 applications under the new law had been received, representing insur ance in the sum of $552,093,000. From four to six thousand applica tions are received each day at the Treasury Department, the amount of insurance applied for some timei reaching a total of fifty million dol lars in a single day. The law provides that soldiers, sail ors, marines and nurses in active ser vice may obtain from the government life insurance: in amounts not exceed ing $10,000 at premium rates ranging from 65 cents a month at the age of 21 years to $1.20 a month, at ttya age of Sl yeiars, for each $l,000 of insur ance. One of the primary objects of this law is to lessen the-tremendous bur den of pensions which has followed as a consequence cf all American ^ars. It is etident .that the administration of (his new-. bruicfe of /Goyenmieiit work, is big business in itself.'
