A clrculnr Issued this week by nn American Insuranco company to Its agents hero states Hint tho problems presented to thoso Amorlcon compa nies by tho war are tho possibility pf excessive mortality and tho possi bility of financial loss on thoiEuro pean Investment. Of the first of theso two problems It says: ni,i?,iM1,,,,ll0t,Ml l,mt H0 fnr ns Orent Urltnln is concerned thero is not unlvorsnl conscription.

Tho volunteer forco will also largely bo drawn from thoso who have no de pendents and who for that reason havo not Insured.

In Austria this would also bo truo to a modified extent. In theso countries, speaking gon orally, wlillo tho Insured can enter tho army In tlmo of war ho has to pay an extrn premium for bo doing. Tho war will undoubtedly cause nn Incrcaso In mortnllty, but tho amount of this Incrcnso can eas ily bo exaggerated. As to tho financial sltuntlon, It must bo romomborod Hint tho bonds constituting tho foreign Investment or theso compnnles nro largely go ornmont bonds, nnd wore bought ns nn investment nnd not ns n specula tion.
