This takes nearly half of the pay
of many privates. The government,

While the man in trench and camp

life. he has much less indictment to
do so. for regardless Of whether he
takes out government insurance or
not, his dependents are secured
against want, in case Of his death or

What he secures then, by taking out

monthly payments which the govern
ment guarantees to his wife, children

killed or disabled.
When one remembers in addition to
all this, h tremendous subscriptions

which in many cases had to be set
aside by the government because men
had subscribed so much that they
had no pay left, it is hard to find
