Relatives Of enlisted men Who have
applied for insurance should not be
worried because they have not re-
ceived the insurance policy. The loss
or destruction Of a policy does not
void the Government insurance. The
Government not only has record of
the insurance. but the pay accounts of
the organization to which the, man IL
attached show the monthly deduc-
tons of the premium which he pays
for insurance.
On the application for insurance,
space is provided wherein the man Is
asked to whom his insurance policy
shall be sent. II he designates some
one to receive the yolicy his wishes
will be complied with as against those
Of anyone else. II the beneficiary IL
the person thus named to receive the
policy, 1t will be sent to the benefi-
ciary; If some third person has been
designated as custodian this third
person will receive 1t.
If the man has neglected to indi-
cate custodian, the policy will be
sent to the beneficiary. 1t is not nec-
essary for the beneficiary to make ap-
plication to have the policy sent to
him or her.

the event of a counter-attack, they
would be forced to withdraw or suffer

Calculations based on the number of
troops employed and the methods by
which they have been employed, lead
experts to estimate the German losses
at approximately $4,000 men daily
