I'olieies Rablgh, Dre. 8.?Acting upon , advise? from Hie Adjutant Conor-1 al of the Cnlted States Army, who I? the administrator of the Adjust- j od Compensation Act for t ho War Department, Colon?>l James M. j Little. IT. s. a. executive officer of tile 321 ?t Infantry, and Col- j onol 12. K, Johnston. IT. S. A., ex ecutive officer of the Coast Guard Reserve forces of North Carolina, both with headquarters in this I city .have issued statements urg inx the World War veterans of this State to apply at once for the paid-up insurance allowed them bjr the Government. . According to the information received by Colonel Little from the Adjutant General, Major Gen eral Robert C. Davis, the nerd of immediate application Is based jtipon two Important factors. One i 'Is given as the advisability of the Veteran protecting his family Im mediately and thus warding off any danger of IiIm tiding and lea v - Ing them unprotected. In this case, it was explained that the belrs of the veteran would re ceive only the amount of his ad Justed service credit and that amount In ten quarterly pay ments; while If the veteran had made application before his death for the insurance, his heirs would receive the full amount of the in surance In one payment. In this case, it was explained that if the Veteran was entitled to the full credit of $625 and did not have his Government paid policy, his family would receive only ft!2."?, but If he did have his policy his family would receive $15K0 cash. The second reason was stress* d as economy to the Government. The Adjutant General expressed the desire to handle the claims at aH small an expense to the Government as posslblo and hopes to have the claims all recorded lony before the allotted time has expired, which Is January, 1028. He eHtimated that with a slight Increase of the force of workers that he has now under his direc tion that the 4.500.000 polici.? could be handled within a U w montffff arter the B#vryear, if they were all sent in promptly. ThlH. he explains, would save the Gov ernment thousands of dollar." as only a very small force would be necessary to handle the affairs of [the Insuranee department after all applications have been filed. To avoid any errors and to pre-1 vent the application being re-i turned, both Colonel Little and Colonel Johnston have offered! tbuir services to any veteran who desires to make application fori his Insurance at this time. Colonel j Little has been making short vis its from the city In the Interest of tho Reserve Corps and has taken the opportunity on these occanlons to stress the need of the veteran i applying early for his Insurance. One feature that Colonel Little; brought out In the appeal for I early applications wax that the endowment period time started from tho time at which the policy was Issued and not from the time; that the bill was passed. The American Legion. Red Cross, and post offices all have application blanks and the offi cials of the organisations will aid tho veterans In any of the detail**, it was stated. Recruiting stations for the Navy, Army, and Marin" Corps; the Nationnl Guard, V? t t rans of Foreign Wars, Veterans* Hurenu and the Disabled Veter ans of America all have applica tion blanks and are ready to nerv the World War veteran In this matter. Colonel Little called attention to two final reasons for the %???? erans taking advantage of tie paid-up Government Insuranc Immediately. One was that the t Cash payments, provided for by the act became due on March I.' 1925, and that untess the appli cation was received at Washing ton within ample time to be i forded properly that the payment would be delayed. The other was that the premium on the policy Increased as the age of the vet? r *n Increased and It would there fore be to the advantage of the Veteran to apply now and be cred ited with a larger amount of In surance. The Adjutant General has asked that those who do not In tend to take advantage of the Adjusted Compensation Act to so Inform him that he may make plans accordingly on the basi? of the number to be expected a ap plicants.
