Government Urges Soldiers to Keep
ND Life Insurance.

AS soldiers are demobilized effort
will be made to impress on them the
desirability of their continuing pay
ments of their government voluntary
life insurance, which can be main
tanned for FIVE years after peace, ~, ev7 y
to civil life. This will be done by
insurance agencies in the army,
working together with authorities of
the treasury's war risk insurance
bureau.
Secretary McAdoo in statement
has urged soldiers to retain their in
surance to protect their families and
into other forms to be provided by
the government. An additional
reason, it is said, is the treasury's
desire to make of the soldiers and
sailors insurance demonstration
that government life insurance is
successful and can be extended.

against death and total permanent
disa bility. Under the provisions of
the war risk insurance act, every
person holding this insurance may
keep it up in this form even after he
leaves the service, for period of FIVE
years. All that is necessary is the
regular payment of premiums.
Moreover. the law provides that
not later than five years after the
termination of the war as declared
by presidential proclamation, the
term insurance shall be. converted,
without radical examination, into
such form or forms of insurance as
may be prescribed by regulations and
