IMPORTATION ABOUT THE
GOVERNMENT INSURANCE

Director R. G. Cholmeley-Jones of
War Risk Insurance announced today
that misleading and incorrect state
ments relative to the permanency of
! Government Insurance are being cir
culated by individuals in attempted
I twisting" of insurance A specific
and typical report received by the Di-
rector was to the effect that some OF
| these individuals had boarded a naval
vessel at Philadelphia and had told
| the sailors that Government Insurance
would not be good after five years.
Government Life Insurance for vet
erans of the great war is a permanent
proposition" said Director Cholmeley-
Jones. Misleading statements have
been made to the effect that Govern
ment Insurance will cease at the end
of five years after the war, or that il
will be turned over to private COM
panies Such statements are abso-
lutely false and without foundation.
I There is, however, a requirement that
the temporary term insurance held
during the war which increased in
cost from year to year. be changed or
converted into one of the six perma-
nent forms Of Government Life In
surance tordinary life. 20-payment
life, 30payment life, 20-year endow-
ment, 30-year endowment. or endow-
ment al age of 62), within five years
after the formal declaration of peace
by proclamation of the President if
the insured desires to continue to be
protected. This permanent insurance
does not increase the premium cost as
the insured grows older
improper conduct by the individ-
uals ! have referred to is in direct
opposition to the attitude of the great
life insurance companies, which is en-
braced in a statement by the secretary
of one of the large companies, who
recently said:
OF course, a life insurance com 4
pany cannot grant insurance at less
than cost, but the Government offers
insurance to soldiers and sailors at
less than it would cost the Government
to grant that insurance (that is be-
cause the Government bears all ex-
penses of management, etc.) The Gov
evnment is justified in this liberality
in consideration ci the fact that these
soldiers and sailors have risked their
lives, or have been willing to risk
their lives. for the benefit of the ma
ton. All this being so, it is obviously
eXperient for soldiers and sailors to
AXE all the insurance offered by the
Government at the low rate charged.
The company whose secretary made
he above statement has instructed all !
Is agents to refuse to take applica-
ions from soldiers and sailors until
hey have taken the full amount of the !
lew Government Insurance to which |
hey are entitled"

UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING
Indianapolis, Ind,
January 10, 1920.

January l9, 1920.
The Milford Chronicle,
Milford, Del.
Dear Col. Townsend:
While reading your valued news
paper l became very much interested
in a letter in the isue of last week
written by Mr.. Patterson on Universal
Military Training Another subject
/ that is beginning to arouse favorable
comment is that of military training
for high school boys. Being in the
nigh school and also taking military
training; l thought l would write a
supplement on this subject.
The poor boy who once was asham-
ed to go to high school because of his
clothes need no longer feel that way
Uncle Sam gives us each a uniform
and cOmpels us to wear them, and in
this way class distinction is done away
with; we are on an equality.
Our commanders are high school
boys who have spent the past summer
in various cantonments. We are
taught military discipline and every
thing else that a soldier should know.
The once pale, sickly boy now has a
chance to become robust and healthy
through our physical exercises. We
are learning thoroughly the use of the
field rife and never again will our
nation be caught unawares.
The idea of military training is also
an inducement for boys to enter high
school. A boy with a desire for army
life gets it in high school on a small
scale. Also when we reach the age
for our six months training we will
.saf ar,Ha "a eol,I
experienced men. We will also have
the chance, because of our experience, /
to serve as non-commissioned officers,
leaving the blunt of the work on those
who failed to attend high school, This
alone should cause many a boy to
stay in high school.
We are taught to think and act
quickly, to do a thing when told and /
to do it right; this should increase /
the earning capacity of boy when he 1
goes forth to work.
We are taught respect for our ma
tion, taught it so thoroughly that no
boy has time to dream of Bolshevik-
ism. We are taught to cherish the
rights of citizenship and are taught to
be as good a citizen as we would be
As further educational inducement
The government will pay those with
proper credits and those going to a
college where military training is
-aught, S1.25 per day and lodging if
barracks have been erected. The
money would help many a struggling
10Y to survive and would also induce
many to enter college.
When a boy leaves high school, es-
,ecially a high schoo, where military
raining is taught, hekleaves well de-
-eloped in body and" brain, a quick
hinker, clean and upright, with de-
otion for his country which is unpar-
lleled as a result of four years of
eaching.
Hoping all will give this worthy
ubject consideration and wishing the
chronicle the best jbf = ccess, / re-
lain, YN$SI
Yours for preparedness,
e innAg Agtalph Broughman.
