hundreds of thousands of our soldiers
and sailors who are making the SUI
lpreme sacrifice. Under this law, every
soldier and sailor and nurse, commits
stoned and enlisted, and of any age
has the right, between now and Feb
ruary 70, 1918, to take out life and to-
tal-disability insurance up to $4,000 at
very low cost, with the government
without medical examination. This
/ right is purely optional. The soldiers
and sailors are not compelled to take
insurance, but if they desire to exer-
else the right, they must do SO before
the 18th of February, 1918. The cost
ranges from IS cents monthly, at the
age of 81, to $1.20 monthly, at the age
of 81, for each $1,000 of insurance. This
is a small charge on a mans pay
small in proportion to the benefits it
may bring. The premiums will be
deducted from his pay, if he desires,
thus eliminating trouble on his part.
To provide adequate protection I'M
til February -, 1918, during the per-
iod when the soldiers and sailors are
learning the details of this law, the
government automatically insures each
man and woman, commissioned or en-
listed in the military service of the
United States. 1t pays the man $50
month during total permanent disa-
bility; if he dies within 20 years, it
pays the rest of 240 monthly install
ments of $25 each to his wife, child, or
widowed mother.
I desire to call the provisions of this
just and generous law to the attention
of our officers and enlisted men and
women so that they may not be depriv-
ed of their rights through lack of
knowledge. Full information may be
obtained from the bureau of war in
surance of the treasury department,
Washington, D. c. I earnestly urge
that the officers Of the army and
navy give to the men under their COM
mand all possible aid in helping them
to understand fully the benefits that,
this insurance may bring to their fam
lies and the small cost at which it
may be obtained.
This is the greatest measure of pro-
lection ever offered to its fighting
forces by any nation in the history of
he world. 1t Is not charity; it is
simply Justice to the enlisted men and

of the war insurance law enacted by
the congress as a measure of justice
to the men and women who have beer

| wish to acquaint you with the ben
efits and privileges which your gov
eminent has placed at your disposal
1T is essential that you and your fam
lilies at home should know of your and
their rights under this law in order
that full advantage may be taken of
them
To care for the wife and children of
the enlisted man during his service,
the war insurance law compels him to
contribute UP to one-lalf of his pay
for their support The government,
on application, will generously add to
this an allowance of from S. to $50 a
month, according to the size of the
family. Moreover, if the enlisted man
will make some further provision
himself for dependent parent, broth
er, sister, or grandchild, they may be
included in the government allowance.
If, as result of injuries incurred
or disease contracted in the line of
duty, an officer or enlisted man or
an army or navy nurse should be dis
abled provision is made for compensa-
ton of from $50 to $500 month to
him, and, should he die, compensa-
ton of from $40 to SIS month will
be paid to his wife, his child, or his
widowed mother.
In order, however, fully to protect
each person and family, congress has
made it possible for every soldier,
sailor, and nurse to obtain life and to-
tal-disability insurance. This insur-
ance applies to injuries received while
he or she is in the service or after
he or she shall have left it.
Exposure to the extra dangers of
war makes the cost OF life insurance
in private life insurance companies
brohibitive. 1t was therefore a plain
duty and obligation for the govern
nient to assume the risk of insuring
