NATION TO LET
WORK SPEED UP
WITH WAR OVER
Secretary Baker Assures the
Hardware Men Ban Will Be
Lifted Soon as Possible
Atlantic City, N. J., Dec. 12.
That the government will withdraw
with all possible speed the limita
tions which had been placed on In
dustry because of the war's necessi
ties was asserted' by Newton D.
Baker, Secretary of War, in an ad
dress here to-day at a joint session
of the American Hardware Manu
facturers and the National Hard
ware Association.
Mr. Baker said he was confident I
that the genius of American leader- J
ship could be safely permitted to re- j
store normal conditions, and that the i
vast amount of knowledge which
had been gathered by the war:
agencies would be placed at the dis
posal of the country.
The nations," declared the sec
retary, "has developed a new basis
of living, new levels have been j
reached, and in order to promote'
the steady process of readjustment j
there should be a consideration giv- 1
en these conditions so that normal
conditions can be smoothly re
stored."
Speaking of the wonderful accom
plishment of the American military
organizations and its achievement j
in France, Mr. Baker said that it
made his heart swell with pride.
"The American soldier," he said,
"whether on the front, sleeping in
the open, or convalescing, was al
ways smiling, never complained and
1 never heard a grumble from any
one of them."
U. S. Urges Men to Hold
Insurance After the War
The IT. S. Governent gives all men
in thq military and naval service the
opportunity and privilege to keep
up their insurance after the war
has officially terminated and even
after they have returned to civil
life.
More than four million officers
and men are now insured through
the Bureau of War Itisk Insurance.
The grand total of insurance is
In its present form this insurance
is annual, renewable term insurance
at net peace rates, issued against
death and total permanent disa
bility. Under the provisions of the
War Risk Insurance Act every per
son holding this insurance may
keep it up in this form even after
he leaves the service for a period of
Ave years. All that is necessary is
the regular payment of premiums.
Moreover, the law provides that
not later than live years after the
termination of the war as declared
by Presidential proclamation, the
term insurance shall be converted,
without medical examination into
such form .or forms of insurance
as n\ay he prescribed by regulations
und as the insured may request. In
accordance with the provisions of the
law, these regulations will provide
for the right to convert into ordi
nary life, 20-payment life, endow
ment maturing at age of 62, and
into other usual forms of insurance.
This insurance will continue to be
government insurance. The vari
ous forms of policies which the Bu
reau of War Risk insurance will
„ write are now being prepared.
Every person In the military or
naval service owes it to himself and
to his family to hold onto Uncle
Sam's insurance. It is the strong
est, safest and cheapest life insur
ance ever written. Just as this in
surance relieved our soldiers and
sailors of anxiety and misgivings
for the welfare of their loved ones
and protected them against the haz
ards of war, so It will continue to
protect them through the days of
readjustment and reconstruction,
and in time of peace.
The advantage of keeping this in
surance in force cunnot be empha
sized too strongly. The right to
continue it is a valuable right given
by the government to our fighting
part of the men as compensation for
their services. If this right is lost
by allowing insurance to lapse it
can never be regained. When gov
ernment insurance is allowed to
lapse the holder cannot again ob
tain insurance except from private
Companies at a considerable In
crease in cost. Moreover, many of
the men may have become uninsur
able as a result of the war through
physical impairment and if these
allow their insurance to lapse they
will lose the last opportunity for
their fumilles to have the protection
of life insurance.
The economic value of life insur
ance to society is so well recogniz
ed as to need no argument. The
government now has in force upon
the lives of four million American
citizens who have fought its battles
a life insurance group larger than
all others combined. Therefore, It
is manifestly of the highest im
portance not only to the fighting
men and their dependents, but to all
the people, that the largest possi
ble percentage of this Insurance
shall be continued in force, after
its holders shall be returned to civil
life."
SEVEN-YEAR BOYCOTT
ON GERMANY PLANNED
New York—To plead with America
and Canada for the ostracism of Ger
many until she has atoned for her
crimes is the mission of Captain Ed
ward Tupper, organizer of the Na
tional Sailors and Firemen's Union
of Great Britain and Ireland, who
arrived here aboard the Mauretania
for a lecture tour. "British and
■ French seamen with officers and en
gineers have declared that Germany
must be boycotted for seven years,"
he declared. "They will yefpse to
allow German sailors on their ships.
Also they will refuse to discharge or
load one ounce of German cargo. We
demand that the Kaiser be handed
over to an International tribunal to
gether with hls'crimlnal comrades."
TALAAT PASHA SAID
TO BE IN GERMANY
Amsterdam—A dispatch from Ber
lin reports that the Berliner Tage
blatt has published a statement by
the Turkish colony In Berlin announc
ing that Talaat Pasha, Enver Pasha,
Dlemal Pasha and others have fled to
Germany and demanding their ex
pulsion since the Turkish government
arraigned them for responsibility re
garding the Armenian massacres.
The Tageblatt argues that they must
j>e regarded as political fugitives
while their guilt is unestabllshed.
HOUSE ORDERS PROBE
Washington—lnvestigation of the
National Security League of New
York and similar organizations and
their alleged charges regarding the
loyalty of members of Congress made
In the last political campaign, was
ordered by the House without a rec
ord vote. Seven representatives who
