GOVERNMENT INSURANCE
Secretary Glass Makes Liberal Offer to
Discharged Soldiers.

Discharged service men who It
their government insurance lap';s
were given the privilege Of reins+ating
their policies within IS months with
out payment of back premiums, under
an order signed last Friday by Secre-
tary Glass.
The new reinstatement regulation,
one of a number under consideration
designed to make 1T possible for
every discharged soldier, sailor and
marine to continue government in
surance after return to civil life, Is
regarded as the most liberal ever
offered by any insurance organiza-
ton. The only requirement Is that
the man requesting reinstatement
must be in as good health as at the
time of discharge and must pay the
premium for the one month OF grace
in which his insurance was continued
after he stopped payment and the
premium for the month in which he
requests reinstatement. Premiums
for the intervening months will not
be 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
premiums" Director Cholmeley Jones.
of the war risk bureau, said. The
new decision permits a man to re-
habilitate himself financially after re-
turning to civil life and then take up
his insurance as an investment. The
reason payment for the month OF
grace is required is that the insured
was protected by having his pollc9
continued in force that month, and II
he had died, his dependents would
have received the face of the policy.
Should lapse again occur, after
the Is months from date Of discharge
reinstatement may be made provided
such insurance shall not have lapsed
more chan one year.
"I want to make it clear that the
new ruling does not automatically
reinstate anybody's policy. Every
man who allows his policy to lapse
is without protection until he volun-
tarily applies for reinstatement
which I strongly urge all men to do
at once, while their reinstatement may
be made"
