PROTECT FAMILIES OF SOLDIERS. Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Rights Bill Approved by Congress. Washington. Giving sweeping protection pro-tection to Uncle Sam's righting men, the so-called soldiers' and sailors' civil rights bill was approved March 4. Under the provisions of the bill fighting men and their dependents are protected against eviction for non-payment of rent, loss of life insurance through delayed premiums ; the execution execu-tion of mortgages against their property prop-erty ; loss of their homes on which partial payment has been made ; loss of property through non-payment of taxes, tax-es, or loss of a homestead through absence ab-sence of non-payment of fees. All this protection is given on the conditions that a man's normal ability to meet his obligations has been "materially "ma-terially affected" by his military service.
