(Serippi Newt Association) v Ci. rvunsourg, March tt. After today the Equitable Lift Assurance Society of New York and other American insurance companies will write no more policies in this country, at least not until internal peace is again restored. The insurance companies were compelled to take this step for their own protection, as of the deaths among the policy holders in Russia fully six par cent were directly due to the political and economical disturbances ex isting in Russia. The American com panies who are doing large business in Russia suffered considerable loss last year owing to the fact that so many of their policy holders were killed in riots and as there seems to be but little prospect of an improvement of the situation in the near future, they found it necessary to sus pend their business until further notice.

Gen. Corbin, If we are to have American missionaries n China, we must have troops to protect them. The recent rioting, as I understand it, wasdone by the river pirates and al though trouble is bound to come in the Orient, I anticipate nothing of a war-like nature. , There is absolutely no foundation for the sensational reports of war in China and the boycott on American goo is is rapidly adjusting itself an 1 ia now pract ically stopped. . ;'' . .; ,-. , It was at my request that troops have been hurried to the Philippines in antici pation of trouble with China. It is better to be prepared for emerg mcies and this country is taking no chances. All of the great powers have troops there and there s no reason why we should pot.

The United States will turn over ths Philippines to Japan when England turns over Hong Kong to China. ' "China is making no effort to protect the lives or property of foreigners. Not withstanding the general distract of the people against missionaries, the feeling is as intense against Germ ins and English as against Americans."
