Raises Technical Point.
"The reason advanced by the
manager of the Aetna company for
nonpayment of the policy, said A
L. Sutton, attorney for Mrs. Marsh
"is that the policy was not in force
when a man went overseas. But
there is no such provision in the pol
icy."
David Fitch, attorney for the
Aetna company said he had not
looked into the case.
"It raises a nice question," he
said. "The question concerns the
death of a man in battle. Is such
death an 'accidental' death. Under
the circumstances I should think
it would be considered a natural
death, if a man in the army were
shot by the enemy or overcome by
the enemy s gas.
"On the other hand if a soldier
is shot accidentally by one of his
comrades his death .would be acci
dental."
Rev. Mr, Marsh's policy was tak
en out in December 18, 1912, for
$2,000. A provision made the face
of the policy increase 10 per cent
each year until it had attained a 50
per cent increase, which it had
reached at the time of his death and
is now $3,000.
Rev. Mr. Marsh was the only son
of Rev. Arthur E. Marsh of Blair,
reb. He graduated at the Univers
ity cf Nebraska in 1905 and secured
a Rhodes scolarship to Oxford uni
versity where he graduated in 1908.
He was ordained by Bishop A. L,
Williams in Omaha. Besides being
pastor of St. Pauls Episcopal
chuch he was chaplain of Clarkson
hospital and of the county poor
tarm. He was o4 years old.

Greater Telephone
Revenues Are Required
High Costs Have Increased Operating Expenses
Since the European war began there has been a steady increase In
the price of nearly everything we use. There has not been a correspond
ing increase in telephone rates.
In 'order to meet the high cost of telephone operation, a revenue in
just proportion to the expense must be obtained.
The necessity for more telephone revenue is easily understood.
The cost of telephone operation has steadily advanced both because
of the increased cost of material to the telephone company and the in
creased living expenses of employees.
The consumer has realized the necessity of paying more for rent,
for food, for clothing and for transportation. The telephone industry
has been affected by the same conditions which have produced higher
prices in all of the necessities of life.
If thi'a compfny i to continue to furnish telephone seme to tho
public it must obtain such rates as will produce a revenue sufficient to
cover the cost of providing the service.
