THE DEATHLESS SPIRIT

'I'm not dead-Pm damned if I'll
die!" was what Robert Graves-cap-
tain of'tAe Royal Welsh Fusiiiers-
called out on the battlefield when he
heard the stretcher bearers say:
They've got him!"
And he lived to write a stirring
poem about it, and the incident fur
nished theme for other singers, who
pointed the moral of that utterance
on the never-give-up line.
He was but one of many brave
fighters whose grit is not the least
part of their glory-men to whom we
owe victory because they could smile
in the face of death and held on with
that unyielding spirit.
History cannot take note of all the
seemingly little things that helped to
make the world war battles great

battles that were crowded with
heroes.
Here is another story of heroism
and devotion which came to light
through the Red Cross:
Just before the armistice there
were two brothers in an American
command and one watched the other
go over the top and saw him fall.
In spite Of stern protest, the broth
er who was not in the charge crawled.
under FIRE, to the fallen one, and bore
him back, where 1t was found that he
was dead.
Il told YOU" said the captain, 'it
was useless taking a risk like that
No, y was the reply. 81 have been
abundantly rewarded, He had life
enough left to clasp his arms around
my neck and whisper: Tom, / knew
you'd come.''
In that, as in thousand other in
stances, shines the spirit of love and
devotion our home boys kept pure and
high from first to last.-Atlanta Con-

War Risk Insurance Head Urges
All Soldiers To Hold Policies

Government Life Insurance is a
reward for service" Col. Henry d.
Lindsey. Director of the Bureau of
War Risk Insurance, himself soldier
with the overseas force and the wear
ar Of the Distinguished Service Cross,
makes this statement in urging all
soldiers to maintain their insurance
and take advantage OF the reward
their government offers them for
their service.
Col. Lindsley's statement 70 SOL
diers Is as follows:
Government life insurance is a re-
ward for service. Because the men of
America have answered their coun-
try's call and have done the bidding
of their Government In war time, the
nation expresses its gratitude by pro-
viding permanent insurance protec-
tion for the men who have served
Government insurance is provided at
liberal rates. Overhead charges are
borne by the Government which en-
ahles an attractive rate to be made.
"The United States Government is
staying in the insurance business for
the men who have been in the service.
All men who served during the war
with Germany are given the oppor-
tunity to maintain the insurance pro-
lection afforded them by the Govern
ment during their service, and the
privilege of Government Insurance is
limited to men who have been in the
service.
Secretary of the Treasury Glass
has approved the plan for converting
war term assurance into permanent
Government lie insurance, and the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance is now
arranging for this conversion. All
men who hold war term insurance
arc privileged to convert this insur-
ance, which exists only for the war
period and five years afterward, into
one OF six standard forms of life In

A star oAicer while at the fro,

A STAFF officer while at the front
saw q negro soldier who belonged

gade. Knowing the fine work the
brigade had done, he stopped to
question the soldier.
What do you dot" asked the
oMcer.
"Ah de do'tendah OBJ de swaxant

THE what?"
"De swaxant cans"
II dawned on the officer that
the man was in regiment using
the soixante-Quinze guns, the

'I see," he said, "but just what
do you do?"

surance policy. To avail themselves
OF this privilege. men holding war
term insurance should keep up their
payments after discharge and convert
to permanent Government Insurance
when practicable, sending their
monthly premiums to the Disbursing
Clerk, Bureau Of War Risk Insurance,
Washington, d. c."
The date for conversion from war
term insurance to Government Life
Insurance has not yet been set but
conversion will start in the near fu-
tufe. In order to convert insurance
a man must continue his term insur-
ance in force. No medical examina-
ton will be required at the time of
conversion. The only requirement is
that the insured has kept up his term
insurance premium payments.
The insurance will be issued at the
nearest attained age of the insured at
the time of making application for
the conversion. In no case does the
converted insurance take effect until
application therefore has been ap-
proved by the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance and the first premium on
the converted insurance paid.
The insurance will take effect ON
the first of the month succeeding the
month in which the application is
made, provided the premium on the
term insurance payable on the first
Of the current month has been paid.
II the premium on the term insurance
payable on the first of the month in
which application is made has not
been paid, than the converted insur-
ance will take effect on the first day
of the current month, provided the
premium for the converted insurance
for the month is paid. All the con-
verted insurance will date from the
first of a month rather than from
scattered dates throughout the
month.
