 Washington D. (. June 23.-The large number Of World war veterans Of New Britain Conn. who have neglected to take advantage oI the liberal insurance offer made by the government have been given an- other year in which to convert their policies, under the terms Of an emergency law passed by congress and just signed by President Cool idge.
 This means that instead or losing or July ? all chance of accepting what is agreed to be the most ad- vantagcous insurance offer ever made. they have another year, or until July 9, 1927, in which to file their application.
 War risk insurance policies were issued to soldiers during the war which had to be renewed yearly and at premiums which increased with age and which will become al- most prohibitive in later years. They were useful only in wartime and were to cease five years after the president declared the war over which was done July ,. 1921.
 However. it was provided that vet erans could at any time within this five year period. now extended 10 July 2, 1927, convert this insurance into any one Of q number of diff ferent types of policies similar to those offered by commercial insur- anre companies, only very much cheaper. Even if the old war risk policy has Iapsed for several years. 1t can be renewed for purpose Of conversion hy veteran in good health by paying a single months premium. A veteran with physical disability due tc the service, which might bar him from commercial in surance, can convert his policy by paying all back premiums.
 Just before congress extended the time limit for this conversion, the Veterans bureau estimated that there were S,500.0o0 eligible veter- ans who had not taken out per- manent policies.
 This government converted insur- Hnce is said to be by far the best insurance that can be obtained any where. Six life and endowment policies are offered in amounts from st,O00 to s1o,0o0. Premium rates are exceptionally low because the government pays the overhead and operating expenses. is not taxed, and needs 10 hold no reserve fund. The policies contain such liberal provi- sions as choice of monthly quarter ly or annual payments, 31 days grace in paying premiums, reinstate- ment after lapcc, total and perma- nent disability benefits. change of occupation, change of beneficiary, dividends on earnings, loans on poli- cies. and provisions for paying up in advance and cashing in at face value.
