URGENT APPEAL TO COLORED SOLDIERS AND SAILORS TO KEEP UP THEIK INSURANCE (By Lieut. J. Williams Clifford, Spe cial Representative Colored Sol diers and Sailors, War Risk Bureau, 1 Washington, D. C. Yesterday when the destructive forces of civilization were more in tensely active than the constructive, we logically thought in terms of war. But, today, as the smoke of battle fades and the constructive forces again come into their own. we find the nation giving birth to institutions ; and ideas in keeping with the con structive tendencies of the hour. The fact that our old ship of state 1 is drifting back to the shores of nor mality so well and so rapidly, indi cates that we are pursuing a better course than nations usually follow, after they have been tossed about by the angry waves of war. Uncle Sam realized the need of some permanent j institution to protect the interests of i the men who protected him, and to i day, the Bureau of War Risk Insur ance stands out conspicuously as that institution. It is safe to say the bureau has not only justified its establishment, but that it is justifying its continued j existence. During the time when the flower of our nation was called to the i colors. It wa„ government insurance that gave to every commissioned offi i cer and enlisted man greater protec tion for themselves and their depend ents, and strengthened their courage as they went forth to battle. Thus, it is seen that war put the government into the life insuronce business. It rightly assumed the war | risk to which its soldiers exposed themselves in defense of the country. In proper discharge of that obliga tion it decided not to cancel the spe cial relationship that the war set up. j The machinery of government insur ance now is running smoothly, and. as a means of rewarding valiant serv ice rendered. Uncle Sam is allowing I his war veterans to continue their government insurance. This insur : ance is offered at less than it costs : the government to run the business. All deficiencies are met out of the funds in the treasury of the United States. Nearly $40,000,000,000 worth of War Risk Isnurance wras carried by the i 4,539,048 service men during the war. 1 This is a greater amount than the ! combined insurance written by all in surance companies in this country. Approximately $2,500,000,000 worth of this insurance was carried by the 402,387 colored service men who an j swered the nation’s call to arms. Thousands of colored soldiers who little dreamed of being protected by insurance before the war, proudly made application for $10,000 of War i Risk Insurance That same protec ! tion is as necessary in time of peace. ; as It was in time of war. Life is al | ways uncertain, and wre should al ways be prepared to protect our de pendents as best as we can. Regrettable as it may seem, a large per cent of our colored soldiers and | sailors who again are in civilian life j are allowing their War Risk Insur j ance policies to lapse. Since prac | tically all of their beneficiaries are within the colored race, think what it will mean to our economic develop ment. if a considerable amount of this insurance is saved. Government in surance should be especially attrac tive to colored soldiers and sailors. It is a known fact, that ordinarily life insurance companies contend that the mortality rate among Negroes is higher than among white people; and for this reason, many refuse to in sure colored persons, and those who do insure us charge higher rates than they do for whites. This fact should encourage former service men to hold on to their government insurance. When we speak of the advantages of government insurance we are not criticising the private companies, espe cially those of the race. They are of fering the best policies they can. under the law, at as reasonable rates as possible. Here are some facts concerning government insurance which every former service man should know and consider: By virtue of a recent ruling made by Secretary Glass of the United States treasury, lapsed policies may be reinstated without paying back premiums covering the period of lapsation. It is only necessary to pay the premiums for the first month in which the policy lapsed and for the month in which application is made for reinstatement. If the policy holder is unable to keep the full amount of the War Risk Insurance he carried while in the service, he may reinstate any part of it from $1,000 up to $10,000 in multiples or $500. Re ductions may be made in multiples of $500 to any amount, but not less than $1,000. The ordinary "term" insurance, that was carried by our service men dur ing the war, may be carried at the same rate five vears after the signing of peace. At any time before the ex piration of five years, this war term Insurance may be converted into one of the following: 1. Ordinary Life. 2. Twenty-payment Life. 3. Thirty-payment Life. 4. Twenty-year Endowment. 5. Thirty-year Endownment.. 6. Endowment maturing at age 62. The converted policies are from $10 to $12 cheaper a year on each $1,000 worth of insurance than policies of fered by private companies, and no physical or medical examination Is necessary for the conversion of poli cies. This is an important thing, be cause many of the ex-service men could not pass a rigid physical exam ination today. Government Insurance policies con tain a liberal disability clause. When the Insured becomes totally and per manently disabled, either by accident or by natural illness, he does not have to pay any more premiums, and the government pays him the full month ly sum called for by his policy every month, no matter how long he may live. Furthermore, one Insured by the government may engage in any occupation, no matter how hazardous, or may travel anywhere without af fecting his insurance, providing he continues tie payment of his pre miums. Government insurance Is non-tax- | able and non-assignable.

Moreover, neither the insured nor the beneficiary can ever pawn a govern ment insurance policy and thereby lose the fruits of honest and noble sacrifice. The government has Incor porated into every insurance policy issued, guaranteed values which are the full reserves without any deduc tions, the same to take effect after the policy has been in force one year. Cash surrender values and cash loan values, which have been pro vided, together with other usual feat ures contained in the policies issued by life insurance companies, help to make these government policies of the highest value to the insured. Another feature of government life insurance is the provision for month ly installments to the beneficiaries, instead of the payment in a lump sum. This has been criticised by those who have not given it the proper consid eration, but it is really one of the most important advantages of government insurance. Statistics showf that of all insurance policies, more than 65 per cent is lost within six years after payment. Income insurance undoubt edly is the best kind for the bene ficiaries of our colored service men, wbo, for the most part, are unaccus tomed to handling large sums of money. Many would lose the money altogether by spending it foolishly, by unwise investments, or in other ways. However, this feature will in all prob ability, be changed very soon, in order to give the insured a chance to choose between the lump sum and the in stallment plan of payment. The opportunity which is now of fered service men to continue their government insurance, is one that no soldier can afford to overlook. It is a rare opportunity and any good in surance man will admit it. Should you meet an insurance agent who speaks dlscouraglnglv concerning government insurance, you may be sure that he is either uninformed, or has a personal or selfish lntefest which he is hoping to serve. There are more than 50,000 insurance agents enrolled as boosters of Uncle Sam’s insurance. It is indeed interesting to note the number of inquiries that are pour ing into this office from women and children of the race who have been reached by our campaign of contact and who have some relative or loved one whose government insurance pol icy they are anxious to save. In the far southland, whence a very considerable number of our colored troops came, we know of a family that gave their bread-earners to Uncle Sam, all of whom went out upon the Journey from which no mortal returns and are now closed in behind those gates from which no mortal ever escapes. Two of those three sons died in battle; they each carried $10,000 of government insurance whieh now pays their beneficiaries $115.00 every month. The third son returned from war unscarred and healthy. He re turned to civil life and allowed his government insurance to lapse and. in all probability, would have lost his claim to this valuable protection ha/1 It not been for the women folk of the family who learned, by reading the papers that Uncle Sam was allowing his service men to reclaim their gov ernment insurance policies. Immedi- ] ately, the mother and sisters began to urge the returned Boldier of the fam ily to have his war policy reinstated. The young man had only been rein stated two months when he was thrown from a horse and killed. Sad as it may be that all three erstwhile bread winners of this family are gone, under present conditions their depend ants are receiving $172.50 each month by virtue of the government insur ance that they prudently carried. This is a concrete illustration of the material advantage that government insurance offers. I yet this become a lesson to all wives, sweethearts and other loved ones of our ex-service men. Get busy at once and urge him to save his government insurance. Finally, it is hoped that in years to come, the war risk policy will be a safeguard of every colored war vet eran in America, Just as it was a means of sustaining the civic fabric and morale of our colored citizens while their representatives helped safeguard the honor and integrity of the nation, and Just as it Is a safe guard to the home of the family spoken of above, which would other wise be in destitute circumstances. The Bureau of War Risk Insurance is offering this valuable protection to the American Jew; it is offering this valuable protection to the American Indian; it is offering it to the Amer ican Negro; it is offering this valuable protection to any and all other Amer ican soldiers and sailors who have served Old Glory in the recent war, regardless of whether they may have become battered and scarred in the most violent conflict that history re cords. God forbid that the American Negro refuse to take advantage of this generous offer. Discharged colored soldiers and sailors, their beneficiaries and friends are requested to write Lieut. J. Wil liams Clifford, Bureau of W'ar Risk Insurance, Washington, D. C. Such communications will receive prompt attention. A chance for the kiddies to earn a prize.
