Special provisions for men in service. Legislation providing: for compensation and indemnification for soldiers and sailors and those de pendent upon them has not yet been passed Measures are being consid ered, however, for governmental ac tion in this matter. Preliminary definite steps were taken of July 2. when Secretary McAdoo called a con ference of the life Insurance compan ies of the United States to consider plans to this end. The conference was attended by representative of the war. navy, and commerce de partments and the council of nation al defense. After a prolonged discus sion, the Insurance men voted al most unanimously that the Insurance and indemnification of the soldier and sailors should be undertaken by the government. The preparation of necessary legislation was begun im mediately. On July 13 Samuel Oompers. chair man of the committee on labor of the council of national defense, appoint ed Judge Julian W. Mack. United States circuit court of Chicago, chair man of the section on compensation for soldiers and sailors and their dependents. Judge Mack will work In cooperation with the treasury de partment. He has expressed, as h!s opinion, the belief that the respon sibility of providing funds for sep- Army. 181. Fay in the Army. These fig ures given include a 20 per cent In crease for foreign service.

Sweet assistant sec retary of commerce, on July 14 made the following statement regarding the Insurance of the fighting forces of the nation. It is possible at this time to sug geit the general outlines of a plan for consideration and constructive criticism I believe there should be created In connection with one of the existing executive departments of the government a soldiers' and sail ors' Indemnity bureau, with a com petent man of insurance experIen- at its head; that the necessary actu arial and clerical assi.itance should be provided; that protection should be provided; that protection for a defi nite amount, not exceeding $4 000 should be automatically furnished to even-one in the military and naval service of the United .States, without regard to rank and without expense to the Insurel; that such insurance or protection should cover partial and total disability as well as death; that no medical examination should be required that necessary for ad mission Into the service; that all losses should be paid In regular In stallments; that all adjustments should be made with the least possi ble delay; and that a limit, analogous to statutes of limitation, should be fixed for the correction of records and the presentation of claims. As concrete evidence of the gov ernment's obligation a certificate or policy might well be given to each soldier and sailor. This would ma terially add to Its moral Influence. In addition to the protection thus furnished to all engaged In war-service, I think the same bureau should be authorized to furnish death and casualty benefits or protection to sol diers and sailors to the amount of $6000 to one individual, upon terms a sfavorable as In times of peace. From the experience of the bureau of war risk insurance It is conceiv able that this can be done by the government without material loss. The funds that a private corporation applies to commissions, medical-ex amination fees, advertising, etc -, would be available by the govern ment for the payment of losses But ' If loss should result, a proper recog- I nitlon of the obligation conferred upon the general public by the de fenders of their country demands ! that it should be met by the govern- j ment and thus fall upon all who re- celve the benefit of the service ren- j dered rather than upon those who j render it f 183.
