 the front will be provide the money for putting into effect the indemnity insurance for soldiers and sailors of the United States
 The insurance plan has been worked out has been ar- proved by the president and before congress outline of the plan has been sent out by the treasury department I follows:

 s war we not relying upon the volunteer system but drafting American and compelling them undergo danger and necessary make the supreme sacrifice for their country
 higher obgaton he therefore rests upon govern ent not only towards the fighting men, but those de pendent on them and just and humane government should see to It that far practicable they should be gwen s protecon not matter of mercy charity but as matter of right And that they should enter into the ser wee of their country with the certain knowledge that if death or comes to them they and their dependents pro- ected by Insurance afforded them by their as part of the compensation for the they rendering their country.
