DIG REDUCTION IN WAK .
RISK RATES IS LIKELY
Washington, D. C. Likelihood of the
reduction of rates on war risk insur
ance hold by former soldiers is peon
by ofllcials hero, as a result of tho
good health of tho ox-scrvico men. At
present they arc dying only about ono
third as fast ns the average death
rate, and tho Government is finding
out that tho already low rates aro
more than sufficient to cover tho risk
on tho former soldiers. With mortal
ity rates only about 10 per cent of
normal, it is believed tho insurance,
rates can bo cut nearly ono hnlf. Of
ficials ascribe the good health Yccp.ds
of the men to their youth and the
training and care they received in
service.
