The plan Of the United States gov

! system Of Insurance possibly as
! complete substitute for the pension
system-demonstrates how vital a
place the insurance principle has in
human affairs. Life insurance was
practically undeyeloped at the time
OF the Civil war; its employment as
q means of indemnifying the Deepen
dents of war heroes WAS probably
not even considered. Now it may
come to pass that the Insurance
method will dispiace the pension
method and that the United States
win be the first nation Ia the world
to make the change. Within a short
time the treasury department will
submit to congress an insurance
measure adapted to war service. In
the preparation of the plan, whereby
the government itself will provide
insurance for soldiers and sailors,
loyal cooperation will be given to
the government by all life insurance
companies. 1t is estimated that 3d.
100000, 600 Of life Insurance is car
ried BY men who are subject to the

snce into the war without any extra
