Soldiers May Take Out
Life Insurance
Companies Anxious TO Get Business;
Small Advance in Premiums.

Life insurance policies are as
effective and protective in war as
in peace. Any soldier who had his
life insured any day before he re
sponded to the call is not required
to pay any extra premium because
he may be going on the firing
line. If he had not taken out any
insurance, but is anxious to do so
he will not be refused because he
is bound for war. He will, how
ever, be charged a special and
additional rate. Each company
will take $1,000 risk on warrior,
and in addition to the regular
premium he will have to pay $50
on each thousand dollars, though
only for the first year. A few of
the companies are charging $50
extra per thousand. If he does not
pay the special assessment, his
bene1ciaries will not receive over
5000 each on each $1,000 of insur-
ance. The extra money is a sort
of reserve fund in case of any
especially heavy mortality. In
case the money is not needed,
insurance men are Of the opinion
that it will be refunded.
Evidently the insurance COM
panies are of the opinion that even
if there is a war with Mexico the
hazard will be much less than on
the soldiers on the battlefields of
Europe. The insured over there
are compelled to pay 500 extra
on each $1,000 of insurance. Mex
lean military efficiency is there
fore calculated as less than q
third of that of the European
armies.
