INSURANCE CHARGES COR
ROBORATE ASQUITH
m T would be natural for
il those who know only of
surface conditions to
doubt the statement by Pre
mier Asquith that the subma
rine attacks are working no
substantial injury upon British
shipping. 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. It
Is purely mutual In character, funds
to pay losses being provided by means
of a small quarterly assessment. The
amount of the assessment depends
upbn the losses Incurred during a
quarterly period. 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.
Thus far the California rangers are
the only ones who have formed a
horse Insurance association, but the
subject is being agitated In other dis
tricts and It is expected that addition
al associations will he formed this
summer.
