rather mediocre exhibition she gave

URGING SOLDIERS
TO RETAIN THEIR
LIFE INSURANCE
Department Will
Permit Discharged Fighting
Men to Retain Policies Five
Years After War.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-As soldiers
are demdbiliZed, effort will be made to
impress on them the destrability OF their
continuing payments on their govern
ment voluntary life insurance, which
can be maintained for five years after
peace, even though the soldier has re-
turned to civil life. This will be done
by insurance agencies IN the army,
working together with authorities Of
the treasury's war risk insurance bu-
Teau.
Secretary McAdoo in a statement has
Urged soldiers to retain their insurance
to protect their families and to retain
the right to convert this into other
forms to be provided by the govern
ment An additional reason, ii Is said,
Is the treasury's desire tosmake Of the
soldiers and sailors insurance a DEM
onstration that government life iusur-
ance is successful, and car be extended.
Il desire to Temin all Americas SOL
diers and sailors" said McAdoo's state
ment, that it is their opportunity and
their privilege to keep up their insur-
ance with the United States government
after the war has officially terminated
and even after they have returned 10

I'm its present form, this insurance
Is annual, renewable term insurance at
net peace rates. issued against death
and total permanent disability Under
the provisions of the war risk insur-
ance act, every person holding this in.
surance may keep 1t up in this form
even after he leaves the service, for a
period of five years. All hat Is neCcs-
sary is the regular payment Of prem
tumS.
Moreover, the law provides that not
later than five years after the terni-
nation of the war as declared by prcsi-
dental proclamation, the term insur.
ance shall be converted, without medi-
cal examination, into such form or
forms of Insurance as may be prescribed
hy regulations and as the insured may
request. This insurance will continue
to be government insurance.
THE advantages of keeping this in
surance in forces can not be empha-
sized too strongly, The right to con
tinue 1t is a valuable right given by
the government to our fighting men as
compensation for their services, If this
right Is lost ty allowing insurance to
lapse ii can never be %regained. When
government insurance Is allowed to
lapse the holder can not again obtain
Insurance except from private COM
panies at a considerable increase in
cost. Moreover many of the men may
have become uninsurable as a result
of the war through Mystical impair
ment, n II these allow their insur-
anCc to lapse they will lose the last
opportunity for their families to have
the protection of life Insurance"
