= tNeW1Ruhng'tA as to Insurance
I Officers proceed to solicit the new
men as fast as they arrive to take out
life insurance provided by tie govern
ment. This insurance is in lieu Of
pensions in case the men are killed or
wounded. In case of death dependents
receive the insurance in monthly in
stallments. Most of the men insure
for $4,000. This gives dependents in
case of death a monthly allotment of
$56.5O for 20 years. Soldiers or sailors
discharged because they are enemy
aliens or conscientious DIRECTORS lose
both allotments and insurance under
new sections Of the war risk insurance
bill. Compensation of $500 a month
is provided in the measure for those
losing both feet, hands or eyes. Other
new sections provide that allotments
and family allowances shall not be as
signable or subject to the claims Of
creditors and that they shall be tax
exempt. Government insurance is prov
ing popular with newly enlisted men,
more than $400,O00,000 being added
to the total last week. The law allows
men joining the colors 120 days after
their enlistment within which to apply
for war insurance. - i
