armistice Speeds Insurance Plans For War Veterans ? Men With Policies to Get Chance to Change to Peace System Women Eligible, Too Members of Nurse Corps to Have Same Rights as Sol? diers and Sailors WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.?Prepara ?ions by the government for reinsur ?n.'the lives of soldiers and sailor? on their return have been hastened by ?he signing ?f ,ho armistice. It is certain each of the 4,250,000 ..,en in the military or naval service now holding voluntary government in? surance will be permitted within five vears aft<*r peace to convert it with ?ur. further medical examination into ordinary Hie, twenty-payment life en? dowment maturing at the age of sixty two, or other prescribed forms. filia insurance will be arranged by the government, not by private com? panies. The cost is expected to be at [??st one-fourth less than similar forms offered by private agencies, be? cause the government will pay all over? head expenses, which for private com? panies is 17 per cent of premium re? ceipts; will save solicitation fees and bear the ri.^k resulting from wounding or weakening of men while in service. The government will arrange to col? lect premiums monthly or for longer periods in advance. This may be done through postoffices. The minimum in ?orance to be issued probably will be ?l.OOO and the maximum S10.000, with anounts between those sums in multi pi.- of $.00. There will be provision ?or payments in case of disability as ?ell as death, according to the tenta? nte plan. The insurance may be purchased by any soldier, sailor or marine and by ?omen members of the army or navy ?arse corps if they already hold gov? ernment- voluntary life insurance. About 95 per cent, of the 4,500.000 men in the service are covered by this insurance, which expires after they go back to civilian life and cease paying premiums. ? This is the system devised to replace the old pension plan. Thus will be created ont the govern? ment's emergency war insurance bu? reau the greatest life insurance insti? tution in the world for peace times. Out of the experience gained may ?ventualy develop expansion of gov? ernment insurance to old age, to in dustrial and other forms of insurance, officials say. Regulations for reinsuring returning oldiers and sailors are being framed by an advisory board, consisting of Arthur Hunter, actuary of the New York Life Insurance Company; W. A. Fraser, of Omaha, of the Woodmen of the World, and F. Robertson Jones, of the workmen's compensation publicity bureau, o? New York. Plans also are under consideration for allowing beneficiaries of men who have died or have been killed in the service to choose between taking monthly payments over a period of ?wenty years or to commute these pay ?ent.i in a lump sum. ?
