INTO VERMONT
For Men Who Lost Their
Lives in the World
War
TOTAL OF CLAIMS
NUMBER TIT
Compensation Claims Are
265 in Number; 200 More
Are Being Investigated

Vermont families are being paid &c.,
266,5S0 in war risk insurance claims by
Uncle Sam. He is making restitution to
those whose sons and husbands died in
the service of their country during the
greatest war of all times
There are III insurance claims being
paid in Vermont through the bureau of
war risk insurance to beneficiaries named
at the time application for insurance
was made by soldiers, sailors and ma
rines, now dead The average policy
carried by these M men was SS,740.
Disabled soldiers, as well as widows
and children and dependent parents of
those who have died, are being made
comfortable by the government, which
is paying 265 compensation claims to
residents of Vermont.
In addition to the insurance and com
pensation claims now being paid in Yer
mont, there are 200 of both these classes
of claims under investigation. These
cases, however, are rapidly being adjust
ed following an investigation by bureau
representatives.
The bureau of war risk insurance
established by the government as a per
manent institution in recognition of the
services veterans Of the world war rem
dered their country.
The insurance which veterans are able
to carry as the result of this act of an
appreciative government will be con-
slant reminder to them of the part they
took in the war; whether it has been a
matter of accomplishing deed of yalor
as performed by Sergt Alvin Cullum
York of Pail Mall Tenn, or that of the
newest recruit who only underwent the
discomforts of barrack life and was de-
prived of overseas service by the armi-
stice.
Records in the bureau show that this
