Members of 810th Pioneer lnfantry-l M'-" HO I IMI LJ f WHIlt IHhtt IHIUIirn i OOLliRS INSURANCE Oil? l| Only Thirty Recruits Out of 15, ? Hp 000 in Camp Greene Failed J to Take Policies, j Three million dollar* Insurance h writte/i each/ day for the boys at ^ I;.", damp Greene. That is a record that any Insurance company would envy in |. . V a year, but Uncle Sam has such a system so that nearly every boy who ? enters the American army is well J protected and it gives him much re- {* lief to know that his dependents will p be* cared for and that worries of that nature are eliminated. Recently in F I .V this camp out of 16,000 men recruited all but 30 took out insurance with air . average policy of $9,000 and a minijg mum of $1,000, the average amount written each day being over $3,000,- ? 1too. ? As soon as the recruit reaches camp q Hp. he goes through the regular routine of being assigned and Just as soon as b that is finished the insurance depart- a mcnt calls upon mm ana ue is iuujt ^ examined, classed and every detail rjf-V that is necessary taken about his family and past histoiy and his policy ? p is written. The recruit has a privipV: lege of 120 days in which to decide whether or not he wants the insurK?r-;i ance and after that time it is too late for him to take advantage of the iWfc-, government's protection and most of fifflL,', the boys take It right away as it is "Just the same as depositing money in b:; the bank. If a soldier is wounded, he is taken Bgr;: care of until he is well and if he Is j||j? fully disabled he gets the full, value LgpT of the policy. It is interesting to SV visit the insurance office at headquarters under the ^ble direction of Lieu64. tenant S. R. Holcomb where all the Ja&V data is made up and kept. Suppose a soldier is killed or dies while in the Br service and has a $10,000 policy. His Wis?' beneficiaries will receive monthly Inj.: stallments of $67.50 a month for 20 Nj* years which at the end of that time ? will, amount to $13,000, and on $1,000 they will receive at the rate of $5.75 a month. The premium by the month is ' very light and on a < ? . $1,000 policy amounts to only 69 cents Egj at the age o? 30 years. Also along with | r this it might be noted that every sol-I B dier Is under duty to allot $15 each H&'; month to his wire ana cnnaren. The government Also relieves the soldier the trouble of making the KjSs ; premium .payments every month, deHpp'" ducting the same from his pay and Jg&vhe is then relieved of that worry and trouble of allowing the policy to lapse and the relatives at home can: rest assured that Just us soon as t!^ enKfcj-V.. listed man Is In the activo military ' service and signs up for a policy, and 8?y.V pays one premium, his people are tp'-y * protected, although through the great list of applications in every . "camp it may take months to coras^lete the policy and records. It is a g?eat system and tho soldier goes into Bfc^the service with a lighter heart and &? less worry that in any other army on ?s earth. These policies aio written among the colored as well as white troops & and some of the former don't even know their own names, not roentionting their ages. V'j ?? KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS figgr* ? A big time is coming for the boys the form of a iijinistre! which is k>-inir i**h? :!rsed at K- of C building ? * "No. 2. The minstrel will be run unBjfiCy der the direction of the K. of C.f Y. M. C.

It is the wish of the commitfil'' tee that the boys themselves have full charge of the affair and Pvt. H. ; A. Barrett, of headquarters, is taking rcv charge of the show for the boys. PriBarrett is to arrange a commitKR tee from the boys taking part and things are beginning to, hum. Private John H.
