VETERANS BONUS
BILL EXPLAINED
While Some win Be Paid in Cash,
Bill Also Provides Insur-
ance Policy.
DEPENDENTS DEAD INCLUDED
Adjusted Service Compensation Fig.
ured on sra Day for Home serv.
Ice and SIPS for Over
seas Service.

Washington.-It is estimated that
s.oss,2ss veterans win be entitled to
the insurance policies provided by the
soldier bonus bill Just enacted into
law. while sss.5ss will be paid cash
OF $50 or less. The bill also provides
for payment to dependents Of de.
ceased veterans Of the amount of ad-
tusted service compensation to which
they would have been entitled.
Adjusted service compensation is
Inquired on the basis of 81 a day for
home service and 125 a day for over.
seas service. The first sixty days can.
not be counted. Also a maximum OF
500 days would be lllowed.
All veterans up to and including the
rank Of captain in the army and ma.
rine corps and lieutenant in the navy
are eligible for the bonus.
II Is estimated that the average in.
surance policy would be valued at
1852, while the maximum yalue of the
policies would be about 1890 for
overseas service and $1,000 for home
service.
The value Of the policy would be the
equivalent of the amount which the
adjusted service credit plus 25 per
cent would purchase at regular insur-
ance prices based on per cent in.
terest compounded annually. To de.
termine the latter computation a table
Of factors has been compiled by ex.
perts. Multiplication OF the proper
factor by the amount Of adjusted serv.
ice compensation duo the veteran plus
rs per cent would give the face value
OF the insurance certificate. Each
certificate. Of course. would vary ac-
cording to the length OF service OF the
veteran and his age at the date OF Is.
suance Of the policy The policies
would be dated January 1. 1924.
Application for she bonus may be
made at any time before January /.
1923. but the cash payments will not
be distributed at once.
Loans may be made on the policies
up to 30 per cent Of their current face
value any time after two years from
the date Of issuance. Thus on a $1,000
policy at the end of two years loan
of ss7.ss could be made On this same
policy at the end Of nineteen years a
loan OF ss31.23 would be possible. The
loans may be made at any national or
State bank.
Service between April 5, 1917. and.
July l, 1919, may be counted in com.
putting the adjusted service credit. al
though enlistment must have been
made before November II, 1918.
Application blanks soon will be dis
tributed throughout the country
through service organizations and the
post offices. Although administration
Of the bill will center in the Veterans
Bureau, the veteran will have to send
his application to tho War Department
If his service was with the army and
to the Navy Department II service
was with the navy or marine corps.
If the veteran served in both army
and navy the application should be
sent to the department under which
he last served
Women who served as yeomen in
the navy or marine corps also were
included in the bill as eligible to re-
ceive its benefits.
