Church.— Adv. COLORED SOLDIERS URGED TO INSURE (Continued from First Page.) trouble on his part. It is dangerous to procrastinate, The Government is making a liberal and unprecedented offer to its righting forces, but the offer is open only for a limited time—April 12th, 191b, be ing the last date for those in the serv ice on or before December 11, 1917. Now is the time to act. The United States Government is buck of this contract of insurance. Nothing is saf er than our Country’s guarantee. In case of the soldier's death, each $1,000 of Government insurance will pay to his beneficiary (wife, child, brother, sister, parent, etc.) ihe sum of $5.75 a month for 240 months (20 years), less any payments made to the insured for total and permanent dis ability. Any losses in excess of pre miums received will be borne by the United States Government. Insurance protection is not limited by any pro vision as to line of duty. Thirty-one days’ grace are allowed for payment of overdue premiums. If insurance lapses it can be revived or reinstated within six months. Govemmenl War Disk insurance holds good alter the war and even though the soldier leaves the service, provided it is changed in form within five years after the close of the war. No medical examination will be re quired for this change. This insur ance cannot be attached, assigned or otherwise taken by creditors. Can you think of a better investment? A soldier can take out any amount of insurance he desires from $1,000 to $10,000 (in multiples of $500). A $10,000 policy will yield his family or dependents $57.50 a month for 240 months (20 years), thus absolutely guaranteeing them against want for many years after his death, and avoid ing the temptation to wastefully spend a large amount of money suddenly re ceived. Not only soldiers with families, but even those with no dependents should eagerly grasp this opportunity to take out War Risk (or Government) Insur ance. Why? (1) Because the insur ance is payable to the soldier in monthly Installments of $5.75 for each $1,000 of insurance should he become totally and permanently disabled. (2) Because he may at some later date acquire, by marriage, a depend ent whom he would be glad to make his beneficiary (the name of the bene ficiary can be changed at any time within certain prescribed limits), and (3) when the war is over and he comes out of the army, he may not be able to pass a physical examination for life insurance in a regular com pany. Many Colored Soldiers Already Insured. It is highly encouraging to note that, out of a total strength of 2,212 commissioned and enlisted men, the 372nd Infantry (colored), now sta tioned at Camp Stuart, Newport News, Virginia, has written $17,277,500 of War Kisk Insurance, and that after a canvass of the entire regiment only forty men. with no dependents, de clined to insure. It is likewise grati fying to note that the 350th Field Artillery at Camp Dix, New Jersey, consisting entirely of colored men, is one among a number of regiments where every officer and man in the regiment is protected by Government insurance. Think of what this will mean to the Negro race after the war is over! Think of the economic strength and measure of respect It will bring to this great group of loyal Americans, enabling them to buy homes, go into business, and to become self-support ing citizens. Colored soldiers and sailors, let me urge you to take Immediate advantage of the generous provision that has been made by our Government in the matter of War Risk Insurance. Friends and Relatives of colored soldiers and sailors, let me urge fiiat you write and tell our men in the Army and Navy to Insure at once, before it is too late, Frge them to Insure heavily at cheap Government rates, perhaps cheaper than they can get anywhere in the world, under a contract backed hy the I'nited States Government, thereby obtaining Insur ance and creating an estate that can not be attached, assigned or otherwise taken by creditors, and thus provid ing their families and dependents against want for at least twenty years to come. Tell them to act now, for April 12th, 1918, Is their last chance. Editors, ministers, teachers, phy sicians, business men and all reading classes among the Negro people are urged to spread information writh re spect to this Government War Risk Insurance among the families and, aB far as possible, among the colored soldiers, pointing them to this great opportunity. Application blanks and full infor mation concerning Government insur ance may be procured by any soldier from the Bureau of War Risk Insur ance, Washington, D. C.; from his j commanding officer, or from the in surance officer at the camp or canton ment where he is stationed. All other persons desiring information or help in this connection should address the 589 Waters Barnhart—Mar 14 —4— Director of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, New National Museum. Washington, D.
