AID FOR WORLD WAR VETS.
U. s. Paid Up Insurance. Planned a.
Army Bonus.

v. ). Pal0 Up IHSuVanSo T'sSe -
Army Bonus.
BY Associated Press.
Washington. April 29.-Republican
mem bers Of the house ways and
means committee virtually decided
to include in their soldier relieA pro-
gram a plan of paid-up-insurancs,
it's value to increase annually by
compounded Interest, and on which
loans could be obtained from any
postoffice.
With this addition. ex-service men
might elect any one Of the five fol-
lowing plans included In the re-
publican program:
a cash bonus of $1.e5 a day for
each day Of service.
Aid in buying farm land, to be re-
claimed by the government.
Aid IN buying city homes.
Aid in their education: or. insur-
ance.
To popularize the last four plans
the republicans propose to allow $1.75
4 day for each day Of service instead
Of the $1.25 cash bonus. as the basis
for computing aid.
The insurance plan was said by
committeeman to be the most at
tractive. The average period Of SER
vice for world war veterans was 400
days, they said. explaining that un-
der the insurance plan the average
veteran could receive paid-up- in
surance policy Of 1857. payable to
him in cash at tho end Of twenty
years. or Immediately to his heirs in
event Of death.
The loan value Of the insurance
would not accrue until the end Of the
third year the plan had been in force,
and at that time an ex-service maIs
with a record OF 400 days service
would be entitled to loan Of $751;.
This would be the cash value Of his
Certificate" at that, time at per
cent interest compounded annually.
Similarly. the veteran Of 100 days
would be entitled to paid-up
twenty-year endowment insurance of
1854, with a cash surrender or loan
value Of $137 in three years; the
20o-day veteran to insurance Of
sS2s. with loan value Of $275: the
300-day veteran to insurance Of
81. 593. with a loan svalue ofp$41s. and
the 500-day veteran to insurance Of
S2,321, with q loan value OF $3.50.
This plan, II adopted universally
by the World War veterans, would
cost the government far more than
the cash bonus of $1.25 day, COM
mitteemen said. Estimating that
3,690,o00 ex-service persons will be
AFFECTED. committeeman said the ulti-
mate cost Of the insurance plan. If
adopted by all. would be approxi-
mately $4,000. 100000. The cash bon
US. 1t was estimated, would cost 81,
807, 900, 900 If accepted by all.

is patriot wrapped up in a desire to

of the men capable of reestablishing

try should he be successful IN

This belief was expressed yester-
day by Gen. James A. Ryan. General
Ryan, formerly q brigadier general

commander In the Indian campaigns.
He il q veteran of two Cuban expe-
ditions and was aid de camp to the
provisional government Of that island
as well as commander Of the rurales
and of all the artillery in Havana.
He served in the Philippine insur-
ections and was assistant professor

commander Of the second officers

Il was General Ryan who, in 1916,
negotiated with Obregon for the
passage Of Carranza troops thru S06
miles Of United States territory from
Ell Paso and Laredo to Douglas, Ariz..
in order to defend Aqua Prieta
against the attack Of Villas force
