Lives Of Soldiers
To be ReinSured

Preparations by the government
for re-insuring lives Of soldiers and
sailors on their return have been
hastened by the signing of the armic-
tice. Altho regulations have not yet

each of the 4,250,0O0 men in the
military or naval service now holding
voluntary government insurance will
be permitted within five years after
peace is declared to convert ii with
out further medical examination in
to ordinary life, 20-year pay life, en-
dowment maturing at the age of So
or other prescribed forms of insur.
ance.
This insurance will be arranged by
the government, not by private COM
panies, and the cost is expected to
be at least one-fourth less than SINH
lar forms offered by private agen-
cies. Private companies would not
write insurance on many wounded
men.

this increase, but are canvassing for
the original quota.

Classification for

Draft boards were ordered to stor

Tuesday, November 70.
1t was officially announced at the

registrants of Is and from 81 to 46
years old who have received ques-
tionaires need not fill them out.
Orders went out Tuesday to the
heads of all military departments to
discontinue at once the acceptance
of applications for admission to the
central officers training camp No
decision has been reached regarding
the classes now in progress at these
camps, but it was intimated that the
students would be permitted to COM

Cancellation of all draft calls prac-

by reason of the fact that the only
penalty attached was that Of being
placed in Glass 1.
A single order from the general
staff would suffice to start another
