SOLDIERS INSURANCE
And FAMILY ALLOWANCE

By an Act of Congress approved
by President Wilson Oct. 6. 1917,
the United States Government is now
insuring soldiers against death or
permanent disability at the astound-
ingly low rate of seven and eight dol
lars per thousand per year, and un-
der the terms of the Act is perman-
emily embarked in that business. A
soldier who we will say is Just 21
years of age can take out a policy for
ten thousand dollars (which is the
full amount permitted under the law)
for $3.50 per thousand per year or
SIS per year for the full amount.
This insurance may be applied for in
favor of one or more of the following
persons: wife, child, father, mother,
brother or sister.
Under this same act approved Oct.
6, 1917. if a soldier will make an
allotment of portion of his pay to
his wife or any other dependent the
Government will pay them the same
amount. In other words it Is a fifty
fifty game. The amount the Govern
ment will pay is fixed by law-$15
for wife. $25 for wife and child, $32
for wife and two children and IS for
each additional child. For one par
ent SO, and for two parents $40, and
IS for each brother or sister. The
soldier Of course must pay them the
same, except that he need not give
more than half of his pay, and he
can't give less than SIS per month.
No nation has ever placed so liber-
al valuation on lives of its defenders
nor provided as we'll for the needs Of
their dependents.

Draft Information.

If you want to be a volunteer, now
is the time to enlist. After Devember
Is, when the new draft regulations
become effective, men of draft age
will not be permitted to enlist volun-
tarily in the army, navy or marine
corps.
Under the new classification sys-
tenn through which the draft will be
conducted after Questionnaires to be
sent every registered man in the next
few weeks have been answered and
returned to local boards, these men
will be held for service under the
draft.
There are only two exceptions to
this new rule. Here is the exact Ian
guage of the regulations in regard to
the first exception
"Upon presentation to recruiting
officer of &C ertiflcate by his local
board to hte effect that his class and
order number are so low that he is
not within the current quota of his
local board, any registrant may en-
list voluntarily in the Navy of in the
Marine Corps"
But no provision is made for vol
untary enlistment of men of draft
age in the Army
The other exception has to do with
medical students, hospital internes,
dentists, dental students, veterinar-
ians or veterinary students, who will
be permitted under regulatiins to be
drawn up by the Surgeon General OF
the Army, to enlist in the Enlisted
Reserve Corps of the Medical Depart
ment.
The row rule does not affect vol
untary enlistments by men not OF
draft age.

SILvERSHELL CREW
PRAISED BY DANIELS

WASHINGTON, June THE navy
department received word some time
ago OF the action between the Silver
shell and the submarine. Inquiries
were made promptly Of the naval gun
crew at the port where the ship had
arrived and the account of the battle
was confirmed Secretary Daniels
said his advices added nothing to the
details of the fight already published.
AS turret captain of the dread
naught Arkansas, Clark has held high
rating among warrant officers for the
navy and was selected to command the
guard on the Silvershell because Of
his ability and steadiness proven
through years of naval service. In
some other instances warrant officers
are in command of the gun crews al
though in the majority of cases the
men are under commissioned officers.
Secretary Daniels did not say what
grade he was contemplating in the
promotion for Clark.
