Valuable War Information

VALUABLE w at Information
To the Officers and Enlisted Men
and Women of the Army and
Navy OF The United States and
Their Relatives:
The Secretary of the Treasury
through the Bureau of War Risk
Insuf ance, has been charged
with the administration of the
War Insurance Law enacted by
Congress as measure of ju stice
to the men and women who have
been called to give their lives. if
need be, in the service of their
country.
/ wish to acquaint you with the
benefits and privileges which
yoLr Government has placed at
your disposal. 1t is essential
that YOU and your families at
home should know of your and
their rights under this law in or
der that full advantage may be
taken of them.
To care for the wife and chill
dren of the enlisted meA during
his service, the War Insurance
Law compel> him to contribute
up to one half of his pay for their
support The Government, on
application, will generously add
to this an allowance of from S. to
$50 month, according to the
size of the family. Moreover, if
the enlisted man will make some
further provision himself for
dependent parent. brother, sis
ter. or grandchild, they may be
included in the Government al
lowance.
If, as result of injuries incur
red or disease contracted in the
line of duty, an officer or enlisted
man or an Army or Navy nurse
be disabled, provision is made
for compensation of from $50 to
500 a month to him, and, should
he die, compensation of from 500
to SIS month will be paid to his
wife, his child, or his widowed
mother.
In order. however, fully 20 pro

Cons bess has made it possible
for fsery soldier, sailor, and
nurse to obtain life and total dis
ability insurance. This insurance
applies to injuries received while
he or she is in the service or af-
ter he or she shall have left it.
Exposure to the extra dangers
of war makes the cost of life IN
surance In private life insurance
companies prohibitive. 1t was,
therefore, plain duty and obi
CATION for the Government to as
sumo the risk of insuring hun
dreds of thousands of our SOL
diers and sailors who are making
the supreme sacrifice. Under
this Jaw, every soldier and sailor

tal-dlsability insurance up to
SO, 900 at very lew cost, with the
Government without medical ex-
animation. This right is purely
optional The soldiers and sail
ors are not compelled to take in
surance, but If they desire to ex>
ercise the right. they must do so
before the 18th of February,

is small charge on man S
pay-small ID proportion to the
benefits it may bring The prem
iums will be deducted from his
pay. if he desires, thus elimipat
ing trouble on his part.
To provide adequate pr0tec-
ton until February y, 1918, dur
ing the period when the soldiers
and sailors are learning the de-
tails of this law, the Government
automatically insures each man
and woman, commissioned or en-
listed in the military service of
the United States. 1t pays the
man S25 a month during total
permanent disability; if he dies
within 20 years, it pays the rest
of 240 monthly installments of
S25 each to his wife, child, or
widowed mother.
| desire to call the provisions
of this just and generous law to
the attention of our officers and
enlisted men and women so that
they may not be deprived of their
rights through lack of knowl-
edge. Full information may be
obtained from the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance of the Treasury
Department, Washington. D. G..
L earnestly urge that the officers
of the Army and Navy give to the
men under their command all
possible aid in helping them to
understand fully the benefits
that this insurance may bring to
their families and the small cost
at which it may be obtained.
This is the greatest measure
of protection ever offered to its
fighting forces by any nation in
the history of the world. 1t is not
charity; it is simply justice to the
enlisted men and women and to
their loved ones at home, and
each and every one of them
should promptly take The bene-
fits of this great law.

were the fielding of Sergt Minard and
the stick work of Capt Cuh:r
The game played on the Artillery.
Cavalry diamond saw the new Head

bow to the public, carrying off the
victory, 6 to 5, against B Battery of
the Tractors. In this fray, Michalek

that the Headquarters of the First is
destined to raise some dust in the race
for. championship honors in the Artil

pretty clever ball players in that de-.

TENNIS FOR BOYS
GIVEN BIG BOOST
More Than 100 Expected to
Enroll for Junior Tennis Club:
Tournament Will Be Staged

More names are being received for
tennis organization of Hawaii, and
much interest is being taken in the
movement on the part of the younger
players. To date more than 90 names
have been received, and when a total
of 100 has been reached plans will be
laid for the formation Of the club.
According to the present plans the
club will he formed, and the boys will
hold the offices and make their own
rules. with.on of the older players as
an officer in an advisory capacity.
There are enough public spirited Citi-
zens in Honolulu who will appreciate
the value of such an organization to
the community, and in time it is
thought that the club will be able to
secure courts of their own.
A tournament will be started in the
very near future, and in this tourna-
ment the handicaps for future play
will be decided. The youngsters have
been practising on the various courts
when they can get an opportunity. but
with courts of their own the game
would receive the biggest boost in the
history of the sport in Honolulu. The
girls are taking an interest in the
movement, and want to be represent
ed with an auxiliary. Those Interested
in tennis between the ages of 12 and
10 are requested to send their names
to the Star-Bulletin. -.
