SOLDIERS ABROAD SHOULD
NOTIFY INSURANCE COMPANIES
Though it is simple, and of necessi
ty war times will make for simplicity
in winter gowns and winter functions,
mis creation tor ootn tormal and in
formal wear Is adorable. - It is of
peach georgette, gracefully draped adn
richly trimmed with bands of silver
fox. A distinctive feature is the use
of long sleeves with low decollete. A
dainty ciel blue ribbon encircles ' the
waist and" a nosegay combining all
the colors of tha gown is placed an

Action Necessary to Prevent Possi
bility of Insurance Lapsing.
Connecticut men in the military ser-1
vice of their country who have life in
surance policies are- advised by the
Connecticut state council of defense
in a statement made public to see to
it that the fact that they ' have gone
abroad isreported within 60 days after
their departure to the companies by
which their insurance is issued. This
action is necessary, the council has
learned, to prevent any possibility of
the insurance lapsing, whether it be
an individual policy or insurance un
der the group plan. , ,
The question was raised by a large
Connecticut concern- which insures its
employes under the group insurance
plan. This company wrote to the
council of- defense: "It is very neces
sary that through some means we
should obtain information within 60
days of the departure of men from
the United States of tha single fact
that the individual has departed
where or under what circumstances
or when it is nnnecessarjr but we are
unable to pay the additional premiums
on our insurance policies until we re
ceive information that the man has
left the United States." The company
they will be allowed to write home
after arrival."
The report to the council says:
"Life insurance in force prior to a
certain date covers war service with
out permit or additional . premium.
American life insurance companies,
during the month of April, gave notice
as to new insurances that the insured
must within 60 days after leaving the
united states ror mi.ry service In
territory foreign to the United States
notify the company and pay such ex
tra premiums as the company may
determine. It would seem that pru
dence would dictate that any man in
the service and .expecting to leave
the United States would better pay the
additional premium at once, but in the
case 01 soldiers for whom the addi
tiohal premium is paid by their em
ployers it would eeem that the only
feasible way in view of the secrecy
surrounding iroop movements would
be for the employer to so instruct the
individuals concerned that they will
r,otlfy the employer of their transfer
to foreign territory as soon as possible
after reaching such foreign territory,
in which case the premiums might
readily be paid within the time limit.
Norwich League Members Pray for

upon the j-eceipt promptly of that in
formation." The matter has been investigated
for the council toy one of its members
familiar with the life insurance busi
ness, who has - reported that the only
feasible way which appears for secur
ing, information within 60 days of the
departure of men from . .the United
States in order that additional pre
miums upon their lives may be paid
is for the men themselves to report as
soon as permitted alter arriving

Persecution of the Church in Mexi
co began with the suppression of the
Society of Jesus In 1773. The most
successful of missions were left with

soon relapsed into barbarism. After
the revolt of Hidalgo there were con
stant attempts against the liberty of
the church, and during the presiden

attempts brought untold suffering up
on Cattufiics. Under General Dias

rages unsurpassed for barbarity. Fa
vored, by the American government.
and while seventeen million Catholic
American citizens remained strangely
indifferent, this, man rose to power
and started his brutal persecution of
the church in Mexico. The record of
his revolution is one cf murders, loot
ings, criminal outrages against holy
women, 'sacrileges, and even death for
God's priests attempting to administer
the sacraments to the dying. It has
culminated in the infamous constitu
tion of Queretaro which has taken
from the church every vestige of free

state of affairs. The Catholics - in
Mexico are indeed In need of our pray
ers. Our Ignorance, of their affairs
has helped to increase their suffer
ings.
