Scarcely a day goes by that does not tell of some British cargo being sent to the bottom. Some days several such cases come to hand. Yet there are excellent rea sons for believing Asquith told the truth in the house of com mons yesterday. The best evi dence upon the subject is found in the war and marine insur ance rates on English bound cargoes. Out of Portland the insur ance on wheat to Liverpool is now figured at three per cent for war insurance and three per cent for marine insurance. That means that on a bushel of wheat valued at $1 a three cent war insurance charge is made. In other words those who set the war risk rate estimate the chances are 33 to one that a wheat ship will make Liverpool , in safety. A fact that tends to safety of shipping is the restricted area of the submarine zone. Merchantmen serving the allies have no danger outside the blockade zone because there are no German cruisers upon the ocean. In the war zone ships may iruard against attack by alter ing their accustomed routes or by going under escort. In spite of these precautions a large number of ships are de stroyed yet where one ship is caught scores of merchantmen jret through in safety. The submarine does spectac ular work and its work is effec tive as far as it goes. But it is fair to assume that if the vnder sea raiders were seri ously crippling English com merce the war insurance charges would be higher than they are.

This Insurance association la not a government institution, but was re cently formed by the forest rangers of the California-Nevada district of the forest service, for the pupose of dis tributing fhe loss that occurs when saddle and pack animals owned by Its members are killed or disabled.

At present over 20 horses are Insured In the Call-fornia-Xevada district, and it is ex pected that this number will be greatly Increased this fiimmer.
