Soldiers Government Insurance.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Discharged
service men who let their govern
ment insurance lapse were given the
privilege of r~einstating their policies
within IS months, without payment of
back premiums, under an order sign
ed Friday by Secretary Glass.
The new reinstatement regulation,
one of a number under consideration
designed to make it possible for every
discharged soldier, sailor or marine
to continue government insurance
after return to civil life, is regarded
as the most liberal ever offered by any
insurance organization. The only
requirement is that the man request
ing reinstatement must be in as good
health as at the time of discharge and
must pay the premium of the one
month of grace in which his insurance
was continued after he stopped pay
ment, and the premium for the month
in which he requests reinstatement.
Premiums for the intervening months
will notbe required.
Many service men have been de-
tered from ~reinstating policies be-
cause they did not wish to pay, or
could not pay, the accumulated pre-
miums.
DR.. Cholmeley-Jones, of the war
risk bureau said: 'sThe new decision
permits a man to rehabilitate himself
financially after returning to civil life
and then take up his insurance IS an
investment. The reason payment for
the month of grace is required is that
the insured was protected by having
his policy continued in force thai
month, and if he had died, his de-
pendents would have received the
face of the policy.
"Should a lapse again occur, after
the IS months from date of discharge,
reinstatement may be made providing
such insurance shall not have lapsed
more than one year.
II want to make it clear that the
new ruling does not automatically re-
~instate anybody's policy. Every MAI
who allows his policy to lapse ii
without protection until he, voluntar-
lily applies for reinstatement, which
I urge all men to do at once, while
their physical conditions is such tina.
reinstatement may be made"

cured what they desired by brute
force. 1t was not a question Of intel

the human race has advanced intellec-
tually this instinct has become pol

which actuated the cave man is still
the predominating factor Of modern
society, and until reason displaces SEN
