Through some misunder- standing reports have been made that if a soldier had the war risk in surancc and is killed his beneflciarios would have to employ the services ot a lawyer. The State Council of De- fense wishes to make it clear that a, person would never need the services Of q lawyer because at the death Of the soldier the insurance would be paid. At the death of a soldier the relations will receive the blank which they are to fill out and when it is re- turned they will receive the war risk insurance.

I received 20 boxes in all I have more now than I can take care of, so please do not send more just at pres ent The Home Guard sent me a package and s4 through the Bank of Paris. I do not think that I will ever get 1t because there is so much red tape. Please have Frank thank the lodge for sending the box which 1t did.
