WAR INSURANCE PLAN
TO HELP DEPENDENTS

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. - Those
young men in Indiana who would like
to go into the army, but who fear that
wives and children may be left desti-
tute If they do go may feel treasured
by new legislation which the govern
ment is going to put through soon.
This is no less than the govern
ment's war insurance plan, which in
cludes, among other things, provision
for the maintenance of a family left
at home by soldier This bill is
now receiving the attention Of COM
mittees of the senate and house.
Practically no changes will be made
in it. 1t will be enacted into law i'm
mediately following the passage Of
follow the revenue bill.
Provision for Dependents
The details of the governments war
insurance plan have already been
made public. 1t made plain that a
man with three children enlisting as
private can assure himself pay at
the rate of SIS month, when in for
eign service, and can assure his wife
and children S525 month on which
to live
In fact, the government will compel
men enlisting in the army to allot
not to exceed one-half of their pay for
their dependents, and the government
will, in turn, add to it about twice as
much for their support
AS general proposition, the war
department proposes to exempt men
who have dependents on them for the
sake of sparing, in SO far as possible,
the horrors of war to the women and
children of this country. 1t is in
evitable, however, that there should
be some exceptions to this general
proposition, and that, along with the
unmarried men, some few married
men should go to the front.
