some of those on the ship that the re-
ception would De to the public, in or
der that those who have never before
inspected a modern fighting craft

doing so. but now it develops that the
invitation extended by Captain II. II.

sci, was intended chiefly for the young
officers and their. friends.
Also il was added that the presence
of the Utah in this section of the bay

INSURANCE REINSTATEMENT.

To relieve any confusion that may exist in the minds of former service men on account of the special pro- vision of lapsed war term insurance which authorized reinstatement up to December 31, 1919, regardless of date of discharge, announcement is made by Director R. G. Cholmeley- Jones of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance that the provisions for reinstatement of lapsed or cancelled insurance, within IS months from date of discharge, upon payment of only two months premiums on the
 amount of insurance to be rein , stated, provided the insured is in as
 good health as at the date of dis. charge or expiration of the grace iperiod. whichever is the later date
 and so states in his application, still
 holds good. -.... i The provision that discharged ser.
 vice men are permitted to reinstate lat any time within three calendar months following the month of dis
 charge by merely paying the twe
 months premiums, without makinl
 a formal application or a statement
 as to health, is also still in force.
 The provisions for reinstatement
 do not protect a man until he actu
 ally reinstates. If he waits he ma, mot be in as good health as he wa
 at the time of discharge, and con ,sequently may not be able to secur
 reinstatement. -.:........... .-...
