Every officer and enllsled man In the
servlpe was given the opportunity to
take out Insurance with the Govern
ment, the maximum amount being set at
$10,000. This Is term Insurance, the rate
of which Is extremely low, and provides
protection against death and total and
permanent disability.
The government Is now offering con

present cheap rate for Ave years.
V Is offering permanent government

any time within five years from the1
declaration of peace at government
lates, without medical examination, pro
vided the monthly premiums are con
tinued on the present Insurance. Tills

twenty-year endowment policy, thirty
year endowment policy and endowment
maturing at nge of sixty-two are also

l'ollclm Most Liberal In Terms
These policies contain many features
which make the go eminent policies the
most liberal Insurance documents eer
effered.
The premiums are low, the rates be
ing net, bastd upon the American ex
perience table of mortality with interest
at 3'4 per cent, figured upon a monthly
basis. Expenses of administration are
paid by the government and are not
charged against the Insurance.
The holders of the policies will be ell
glblo to share In nnd receive dividends
from gains and savings.
It permits' changing the beneficiary at
will within the specified class, nnd at the
same time Is protected absolutely against
the claims of creditors.
The entire war hnzard is borne by
the government from a separate fund.
The government provides a refund In
case of annual, Femlannual or quarterly
premiums, no premium being charged for
any month after that In which death or
total and permanent disability takes
place.
Premiums ore payable monthly, or
may be paid quarterly, semiannually
or annually.
The disability clause contains no age
limit, nnd total and permanent disability
Is determined by "An impairment of
mind or body cjue to injury or disease
which will prevent the Injured from fol
lowing continuously and permanently
any substantially gainful occupation."
In care of such total and permanent
disability during the term of the policy,
the insured will receive in monthly in
stallments $5.75 per each $1000 of in
surance covering the entire period of
total disability for the life of the In
sured. The policy will ha'e a surrender value
of 100 per cent and a loan value of 04
per cent of the full reserve after one'
year; it also- provides for paid-up and
extended Insurance.
Proceeds Nontaxable
The proceeds of all policies are non
taxable. Insurance Is tncontestlble from
date of Issue and is nonassignable.
All policies are free of conditions as
lo military and naval service, residence,
travel or occupation.
It is expeqted that anangements will
be made whereby nftc. conversion pre
miums may be paid through any post
office In the country through a form of
money order Issued particularly for this
purpose, whereby the Insured, will im
mediately receive a receipt for his
money.
Upon receipt ot money order the
Bureau of War Risk Insurahce will for
ward to the Insured a receipt for the
premium. Under the general plan now
being put in operation it will be pos
sible within a short time for navy men
discharged or leleased from active duty
to secure detailed Information In regard
to the conversion of this Insurance from
any navy recruiting or BUb-recrulttng
office. ,
For the present, however, the Impor
tant thing t6 be borne in mind by these
men is that they must keep up the pay
ment of the premiums on their present
insurance In order to be able to .con
vert later. Payments by men discharged
or released from, active duty should be
made direct to the disbursing clerk.
Bureau of War. Itlsk Insurance, Wash
ington, D. C, and if checks or money
orders are sent they should be mnde
payable to the Treasurer of the United
States.
The letter enclosing remittance to
cover Insurance premiums should con
tain the full name of the Insured, his
rating and organization at time of enter
ing service, date of discharge and pres
ent address. If necessary, the amount
of Insurance may be reduced. -
Liberal provisions have been made for
reinstatement of policies which were
lapsed due to misunderstanding or lack
of Information, Navy men may secure
any particulars regarding the govern
ment Insurance through the District In

TAX REVISION PLANNED
C o u n c il a ' Committee Would
Counteract Liquor License Loss
Revision of the personal property
lax act and a bill making real estate of
public service corporations subject to
taxation are the two methods looked to
by Councils' legislative committee to In.
crease the revenues of the city to a
point that will more than offset the
$1.900. 000 in license fees that will be
lost to the city by the closing of sa
loons. Another possible- source of revenue lies
In the plan to have Introduced in the
Legislature next week a bill giving cltieu
and counties a part of- the mercantile
tax, which Is now paid Into the state
treasury.
The plan to tax real estate of public
service corporations has been under con
sideration for years, and the committee
hopes to be able to make It effective
before the close of the present session.
A number of bills carrying out the views
of the councllmanlo committee are sched.
Hied for early introduction at Harris

He admitted It today as he sat In the
Hotel Adelphla wearing wonderfully cut
and set stones worth $30,000. He In
never seen out of bed without at least
that much bandit bait on his person.
Diamond Bill" has no fixed home. He
Is just back from Buenos Ayres. He was
on his way to Old I'olnt Comfort when
his diamonds attracted a whispered
"Who's that Diamond King?" and a le
sultlng talk with Bill.
He had Just "dropped In" an he docs
everywhere. He has a business selling
something, but Just lles with his dia
monds. People see his diamonds and then
look at Craig. He is a man of fifty,
quietly dressed around Ills diamonds,
but Just a bit moro dressed than tho
conventional American business man.
Ho had a brown derby this time, for
Instance. And he always carries the
cano that Buffalo Bill gae him cars
ago In l-Jurope.
But It Is the diamonds that make
William Craig known. Every big dia
mond houao In the world knows him
and keeps an eye on his movements
that the wonderful stones ho has col
lected In his thirty years pursuit of
tho superior stone may not bo lost to
the world.
He has hundreds of diamonds a col
lection worth $75,000, he says. And
all of them are perfect stones, pure,
beautifully cut and most of them tot
In an unusual way.
He wears always the best of these
stones. It tnken one hundred and forty
ono diamonds to make him a completely
dressed man.
Kins Worth !0,000
The prize Is one of the two rings he
wears on the third finger of his left
hand. It Is worth $20,000 and contains
three diamonds perfectly matched
flashing deep diamonds that were
matched by Craig in five years of wan
dering. He found the first of the three In
Australia. Ho picked up tho second two
years later In Amsterdam. The third he
found at last while helping Barney
Barnatto In his diamond mines In South
Africa. Kor four years he was Barnatto's
diamond expert at Johannesburg.
On the samp finger is another ring
with two smaller,' hut exquisite dia

Airplane -Manufacturing Repre

Philadelphia will have two real "open

land, of the Curtlss Aeroplane Company.
Mr. Ireland spoke at the meeting of the
Aero Club of Pennsylvania In the l'3n
glneers' Club, 1317 Spruce street, last
night.
Flying, In Mr, Ireland's opinion. Is
safer than riding In an automobile, and
he Bald there Is no reason why airplanes
could not be used for commercial nnd
pleasure uses the same as motorcars.
The Curtlss Company, ho said, expects
to open Its flrpt two stations somewhere
on the outskirts of the city, where dem
onstrations In freight and passenger
carrying will be given. Members of the
Engineers' Club were Invited to visit the
stations. Another feature was the con
sideration of an offer from the Engineers'
Club to have the Aero Club Join forces

Q ProLlG
tin scarf v'n Is a rarity In precious
tones, it contains four diamonds of
iffercnt colors. There Is a canary yel
.ow. a white, a blue, and a brown. This
brown one Is another of the rare stones
Bill" own.
Most of the stones he wears nre con
tained In the diamond monogranl on
his watchchaln. A huge diamond but
tonlere flashes from his coat lapel and
dangling on the chain nbove his left up
per coat pocket Is a flash of light two
Inches square In which 125 diamonds
form the letters "W, C." In the pocket
Is a square Brazil watch that Bill ad
mits cost $1000.
The cuff links are set also with
Brazil diamonds, small but beautiful.
His shirt, though covered with a vest,
has two diamond buttons. He carries a
gold lead pencil on tho end ot which Is
another large diamond.
These were the diamonds on Mr. Craig
today. In his trunk were as many more
waiting their turn In adorning his per
son. Many of them he never wears
Just keeps them to live with he says.
Leaped From Taxi to Kftcope ltobbers
Ho has never lost a. diamond nor had
one stolen. Once ho took a tnxl In New
York and stntted for a hotel. He dis
covered that he was b'lng taken through
nnrrowlng streets and. Just as the ma
chine entered a narrow alley, he leaped
from the car nnd escaped. Since then
ho will not ride anywhere In taxlcabs
at r.lght. and rarely leaves the lobby of
his hotel.
He laughingly cAlled himself the sue-1
cessor of Diamond Jim 'Brady today.
"I guess Jim wore more than I do, but
I knew his diamonds." ,
After all this It Is rather difficult to
ask a man who he Is. But Craig laughed
at that.
"I hae been almost everything, all
over the woild, but I was born In '
Allentown, Pa.," he said. ';l have sold
soft drinks with a circus nnd I have been
press agent with Buffalo Bill all over .
Europe. I hae lanches In the West
and I have hunted diamonds over halt
the earth. Yet I am only a salesman,
a salesman of poultry supplies at that
Most of the sporting people know me.
Onfce I promoted fights and races. But
that was Borne years ago."
As ho left to catch his train, Joe,
who knows everybody and all the best
trains, turned from his porter's desk
with the observation :
"Isn't Bill the queer one? We went
to school together. If 1 had his dia
monds well, I wouldn't wear them. But
Bill couldn't live without them.
