Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, of Boston, reused payment
The company resisted payment, beyond
the return of the first year's premium,
under the clause In the policy which pro
vlded "that the liability of the company
hereunder, during the first policy year,
shall be limited to the premium paid
hereon If tne insured snail die by suicide,
while sane or Insane, during the said
year as the result of military or naval
service In time of war, or a,s the result
of making or undertaking an aerial flight
without a permit for such Bervlce, or
flight from the company, signed by the
president, a vice president or secretary
or an assistant secretary."
Judge Wessel.ln his charge to the Jury,
ruled that the accidental manner In
which McCahey met his death was not In
ntlltary or naval service as contemplated
by the limitation clause, and that the
fact that the Insurance company had
knowledge from this application, which
was attached to the policy, that he was
In the military service of the Govern

service was equivalent to the granting ot
a Dermlt for him to continue In the mili

OFFENSIVE BY ALLIED
NAVIES IS PREDICTED
Authorities. Declare Raids Against Hub
marine. Bases Are Forerunners of
Furtlier Sea Action
Washington, May 17. An Allied
naval offensive of slzahlc nronnrtlnn.
with Great Britain. France, the United
mates ano Italy and prooawy Japan
participating, was predicted in Kntento
naval quarters tody.
The authorities declared that the
British raids against the Ostend and
Zeebrugge I'-bnal nests, followed by Ihe
successful Italian sally against Folia
and Durazzo, are evident forerunners
of further spectacular sea action.
Simultaneous action by the British
American naval forces against the Ger
mans In the North Hea, and by the
Franco-Italians against the Austrlans In
the Adriatic Is believed to be In the
allied plan ot action. The British raids
have shown the possibility of getting
past the German mine fields around the
U-boat bases.
The complete destruction of the bases,
as well ass the demoralization of the
German line near the Belgium coast,
could perhaps be accomplished by the
Kngllsh Channel action. And nt least
the Teuton might be forced to shift his
bases eastward.
