WHAT IS THE "RUSSIAN PEOPLE ?"

in our press we read about the aieai oung dfjuoc- j i cy of Russia rising in its might, overturning c.aruom, ! brc-tkitig it chains. Nothing at all corresponding to ihit tvaliy happened. There was no initiame on Uh part i cf the Russian people; therewas no struggle, beyond tin j fivfi'i tightinc in Petrograd. in which a few hundred men j a ' si .'.In; fi Iiiisian peoyl-t has n-ith--r expressed i issent nor cotnni'E i on the while nffnir.

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS INSURANCE.

There are over one million men in the ainiv and' i navy of the United States who must decide before February 12 whether they want the protection of a $lVc0 ' insurance policy in the strongest and largest insurance; company in tlje world, the United States government. This, offer is made by the government in addition to; provision for better pay for soldiers and sailors than ',

any other government is able to make, and In addition to pro.ision for allotments and allowances to enable men to take care of their families and dependents. P is voluntary, however, and no man needs to take it who does not want it. It. would seem to n ordinary business man however, that anyone engaged in the extra hazardous undertaking of war was a fool not to take ail the insurance he could afford io buy. The government offers this insurance at such low rates that even the private who gets f in a mofi'li can afford to take the maximum policy of $10,000 allowed. It will cost a man under 30 years of age not over $S..0 a month, which can be deducted fi-pm his pay if he so directs. The families and dependents of every man in "the army and navy also are interested in ihis insurance and should see that they have its protection as his t5enflcaries in case of his death. Relatives may wisely offer to help pay the premiums and urge their fathers, sons, ov brothers in the army or navy to take the insurance with t'noir help, if that Is necessary. The strongest reason, however, for every man taking this insurance who can ce ii i thai in addition to the benefit It confers upon his relatives in the event of his death. M protcts him in case of his permanent and total disability, and whether in.iuied or Dot he may become ininsurable by reason of his militaiy service and not be ablo to get insurance later when he marries or has dependent for whom he wants to provide. A $10,000 policy means ?r.T.S0 p r month for life paid to any holder who Is permanently and totally disabled. No such liberal offer has ever been made by any government, but the offer expires on February 12. for men who were. In the, service on Octolier 1", 1 f 1 7 . Acion should be prompt on the part of the soldiers and sailors in taking out insurance, and of then i el;i' i in urging them to do so.

In two years practically the entire distance of 3.4r'0 miles had been marked and much ofthe roadbed bad been improved..

RAWLINSON' TRAVELS EAST.

Transcontinental trips are gettirsr to be more than common now in spite of bad weather, fnel shortages and paternal advice against pleasure travel by the railroad regulator. Close on the heels of Wallace Reed eon-" Herbert Rawlinscm, the star of "Con e Through," and a long list of Universal features. Herbi- came on to 6prd a slight vacation in the metropo' :. with friend lonely wife, whose stage name is Roberta Arnold, and to take rare of sundry other matters closely pertaining to the well-known salary envelope. Now comes Ambassador Gerravd stalking throug-h filmland with his story of "My Four Years in Germany." This production, which, i said to be very startling, is xpectad to have a profound c3ct on this country, though it is In r.o seats a propaganda film. Tt is the first film thus far produced which has any opportunity to make plain to the American people the twisted psychologr of the German mind, which more than anything else is misunderstood here.
