U.S. MAY INSURE SOLDIERS' LIVES Government Would Carry Free S4,(KM) For Every Officer and Man Washington, June 25. —Plans for insuring the lives of officers and men in the army as part of the work of the Federal War Risk Bureau have been submitted to the Council of National Defense by Edwin P. Sweet, Assistant Secretary of the De partment of Commerce. If the scheme is adopted, every man who enlists or is drafted into the service under the selective draft law will be provided, free of cost, with a $4,000 government life Insur ance policy made payable. In the event of his death, to whomsoever ho may designate as his beneficiary. In addition every officer and soldier would be given the privilege of taking out as much additional insur ance over and above $4,000 as he de sires at a premium cost of about s2l a thousand a year and upward, de pending upon his age. In connection with these recom mendations, Mr. Sweet and those as sociated with hirti In the study of the question are considering the advisa bility of including in each policy a disability clause indemnifying the policyholder for any permanent wounds received in battle. The drawing of the plans resulted fiom the fact that private insurance companies throughout the country aro levying exorbitant premium charges on all officers and men in the military and naval service who are liable for duty abroad. In addi tion to the normal peace premiums, the companies are charging as much as SIOO per SI,OOO of insurance per >vv ■ and are levying the charge not only against men going to Kurope to figlit, but against all officers and men ordered outside the territorial limits of the United States. In most cases the effect of these extraordinary charges has been received at the war and navy departments from men with large families, who have been compelled to forego all insurance protection for them. it is generally believed that the Council of National Defense will not hesitate to indorse the plan and urge its adoption by Congress, especially as many of the leading private com panies, unwilling themselves to ac cept soldiers as risks in view of the heavy casualty in the fighting abroad, have approved the plan. It was un der similar circumstances that the government found it necessary to establish war risk insurance for mer chant vessels and cargoes passing through the war zone. If the pian is approved, the phy sical examination which the recruits undergo will be sufficient for insur ance purposes, and where additional insurance is sought over the amount given free the premium could be automatically deducted from the pay of the insured.

He was anxious enough but wanted to avoid family troubles. He designated the day and the hour they would find him at home.
