An Appreciation of Marshal
Foch Voiced in Message to
All American People
By Hanford McNider.
Editor's Note Hanford McNid
er, head of the American Legion,
while voicing an appreciation of oar
late distinguished visitor, Marshal
Foch, also gives an outline of what
the American Legion hopes for the
future and most significant is the
strong note expressing hope for an
eternal peace, a hope by the men
who above all others have the right
and the knowledge to speak.
"It is not the things 1 want to see,
it is the men, women and children
especially the children for there lies
the future of America." This state
ment characterized the Marshal's vis
it to America, where he came to pay
his respects to the men who served
under him and to the great American
nation, in which is mixed the blood
of every country in the world. He
wanted to see the American people
times of peace and as a great
soldier who hates war to promote a
real and just peace which will make
future wars impossible. The great
Marshal represents to us not only his
own country, but every allied coun
try whose armies fought under his
command.
It was France, Great Britain, Bel
gium, Italy and our allies who, fight
ing for their very existence held back
the enemy while we, unprepared,
strove to build our armies that we too
might do our duty to civilization, and
forget that we did add the men and
ships and material which inspired by
the leadership of the great Marshal
made victory possible.
The very presence of this man who
commanded the greatest armies in
history, those of our own men among
them, did more to inspire the Ameri
can people and to bind together the
great friendship of the Allies than

APPROPOS OF SPRING
We've stood the howl of winter,
an endured the dismal aays, wnen
the pesky zero stung us an' the
grippe was everywhar, and the wea
ther man so reckless, piled it on us
forty ways, as we coughed and sneez
ed an' shivered every time we struck
the air. We carried in the fuel, an'
we set around the blaze, sorter won
derin' what would happen if the win
ter never emit, an our mind went
back to summer with its glorious fish
in' days, especially the Sundays when
the biggest suckers bit. . . . Now at
last we're on the threshold of another
joyous spring, when the sun busts all
the rivets that has helt the clouds
together, an' she'll warm the laugh
in' waters as they tinkle down the
streams, sorter chordin' with the red
bird as he sings about the weather.
Then rally round the pancakes, an'
the luscious maple sap a man could
preach a sermon on the early mess
of greens. The bluebells an' the
butter-cups are wakin' from their nap
it's time to dig the sassafras an'
plant our kidney beans.

A Force For Good.
Composed of men and women who
know what war means and not as
pacifists, but with open eyes and hard
earned experience, we intend to do
everything within our power to ce
ment together the great allies who
fought that war might not come
again. There is no surer guarantee
to the peoples of the world that our
victory may indeed be victorious and
bring security to those who come
after us. Every man and woman in
the American Legion has no other de
sire than to build our organization
into such a wonderful force for good
and tie it so strongly into our nation
al existence that it can accomplish
these things.
The strength of the Legion is in
the individual post and the men who
compose it. It is to do them honor
that this great leader of men came
to their communities. It has natur
ally been our duty in fighting the bat
tles for the disabled veteran and for
all the ex-service men and women to
ask things of the American people.
We have now brought them some
thin? that we hope and believe will
be of the greatest inspiration toward
their future welfare.
The simple, wonderful character
of this man whom we brought to you
we believe has impressed itself upon
America. He has looked into the
faces of our people and found them
cood. and he has taken back the mes
sage he read there that the allies of
vesterday are the allies of to-day and
that they shall be the allies of tomorrow.

Life insurance in this country
started commercially about eight)'
years ago. From nothing, in eighty
years it has grown to an insurance in
force of fifty billion dollars and the
reserve liabilities of the companies
with the surplus held for contingen
cies amounts to over seven billion
dollars.
The question arises why has it
taken eighty years for the public to
come to the realization of its value
and necessity. The idea was just as
good eighty years ago as it is now
The performance was decidedly n-
fenor. Starting with little insurance
knowledge and a natural fear of the
unknown, policies were hedged about
with restrictions both as to residence
travel and occupation and as to the
privileges of surrender if payment
ceased which while considered neces
sary at the time and only abolished
hy gradual changes, certainly must
have interfered with its early popu
arity
Besides this gradual improvement
in the conditions surrounding any
and all policies, refinements have
come in the plans of policies so that
whereas, eighty years ago you were
expected to buy a certain kind of pol
icy whether it suited your particular
ltuation or not, now the policies have
been fitted to all conceivable situa
tions, and the agents, from being a
class of men who learned one story
and told it agnin and again, have
come to be a highly specialized line
of experts, whose business it is to sell
each man the policy which seems to
be most fitted to his wants as they
and he see them
The Best Customer.
The commonest demand for insur
ance comes of course from the mar
ried man who must protect his wife
and children against the contingency
of his untimely death. In the old days
legally take and receive testamentary
legacies, irrespective of a bnancial
interest on the part of said corpora
tion in the life of the person or per
sons insured.
As To Business.
Insurance may also be used for
numberless business purposes. A
good man's credit is strengthened at
the bank by the carrying of a sub
stantial amount of life insurance.
Corporations and firms insure the
lives of their officers or partners for
the benefit of the firm or corpoation,
thus mitigating the loss which would
be entailed by the death of an in
dispensable officer or partner.
Even the richest men can no long
er plead that they have no need for
insurance. Many states have lost
heavily in their settlement because of
disadvantageous sales of part of their
estates, which had to be made in or
der to pay inheritance taxes and other
charges. A sufficient amount of in
surance will obviate any loss and will
enable the executors to settle up mat
ters and not be obliged to make any
forced sales.
Companies have also of late years
begun to issue what is known as
group insurance whereby large bod
ies of men, such as the employes of a
single company, can all be insured at
the esame time and cither for the
same or varying amounts according
to the length of service or the amount
of salary. These men are alt accept
ed, no matter what their condition,
as the risk is looked at as a whole
pnd it has become pretty well estab
lished that any working force in reas
onably healthy conditions will give
about the same rate of mortality that
a picked line of personal applicants
will show.
Behind the Promise.
What now is behind all these prom
ises. First, a body of men trained
in the business, interested in the bus
iness and in its usefulness and anx
ious to serve; next, a gradually ac
cumulated reserve liability, scientific
ally calculated on the basis of the
mortality table and compound inter
est; and third, gradual expansion of
eighty years and all the lessons learn
ed by the way. No sort of business
has shown so great safety as life in
surance. Many companies have gone
out of existence, either through amal
gamation or reinsurance in their ear
ly years, but few have gone out of
existence after a successful career of
twenty-five years. The influenza epi
demic, a more severe test of thn;r
strength than any that has heretofore
cccurred left them w'll' diminished
surplus but with increased regard
from the public both as to their use
fulness and strength. They are a
safeguard to the state in that they
encourage saving and distribute pro
perty when and as most needed. A
man with a life insurance policy is
very rarely a destructive agency. By
owning one he becomes a partner in
great enterprises. He must not des
troy these enterprises. A well insured
community is safe morally, political
ly, economically and financially.

you have to hustle if you want to get
anywhere. Three hundred an sixty
five days in a year. Suppose we live
for fifty years we have only 18,250
days to accomplish. If we start work
in' at fifteen then we chop off 5,475
days an' we have 12,775 left. If we
rest on Sundays but work on all the
holidays and never get sick we have
only 10,175 days; so you see if we
want even a hundred thousand bucks
when we're fifty, we have to save
up about ten a day without a min

wife in the event of his death. This
lump sum coming into her hands was
frequently unwisely invested or
squandered. The common way at pre
sent is to leave an income to one's
wife payable for twenty years cer
tain, which should take pretty good
care of the children during their
minority, and as long thereafter as
the beneficiary shall live.
A Man's Old Age.
Men may also provide for the com
fort of their own old age as well as
the comfort of their families in case
of their death by buying a policy ma
turing at, say, age sixty-five and pay
able in instalments in the same man
ner. If such a policy is taken out at
an early age, the premium is not
much greater than for the ordinary
life. When to this policy is added a
provision indemnifying for loss of
time or more thah two weeks for any
illness or accident, and in case of
disability, the keeping of the policy
in force without further payment of
rremiums by the insured, a man's
family and personal affairs are cov
ered about as completely as possible. A. M. Markham came over from
