WAR RISK DATE
LEGION OFFICIALS CALL AT
TENTlON TO END OF
GOVT. INSURANCE

| Legion are anxious to call to the
attention of every ex-service man
in this district the date on which
reinstatement of government wal
risk insurance lapses. That date
| is July-2, 1927, and after that day
such insurance cannot be rein
stated or converted into U. S.

is a matter of the utmost impOr-
tance to the veteran of the World
War and to his dependents.
War risk insurance by the
government went into effect early in
the war and nearly 100000 mem
bers of the armed forces took adj
vantages of it. With the end of
| the war many of them allowed
their insurance to lapse. Under
the terms provided for the re-estab-
lishment of lapsed insurance, nor
NAL health conditions will permit
reinstatement upon the payment
of two monthly premiums; and
for those whose service disabilities
render them otherwise not insur-
able, and who are not permanent
ly and totally disabled, provision
is made for reinstatement upon the
payment If premiums and interest
for the period of lapse. Even these
payments may be temporarily

ance
The law provides that no rein
statement of war risk life insur-
ance which has lapsed shall be
made after July 2, 1927. On or

insurance must be reinstated and
converted at the election of the
applicant, into one or more OF the
seven standard forms of life insur-
ance provided by the government.
If such insurance is now in force,
the insured must convert 1t into
one of the forms mentioned above
on or before the above date
The potential protective value OF
the insurance thus provided is ap-
parent, as affecting the future
economic and domestic welfare OF
veterans and : their dependents.
Provision is made for extended
insurance, paid up values, and divi-
dend participations. No premium
is charged during total permanent
