Received Cablegram From C. D. Stimson
of Seattle The following cablegram was re-
ceived yesterday by Ralph E. Rob-: ertson, from C. I). Stimson, Seattle manager of the American Red Cross, “Chaiman American Red Cross:
"Juneau. “Only one-fifth all enlisted men
have insured under the Federal Insurance Act. All others must in- sure before February 12th or lose
i option. Every effort your home
j service workers and chapter offi- cers should be devoted to inducing 'all families enlisted men within I your chapter’s jurisdiction to write
j their men, urging that full ten thousand dollars' insurance be ta- ken out.
"C. D. STIMSON, "Seattle Manager." j
This indicates that only one- i
fifth of those who were in the armed forces of the nation at the time of the passage of the insur- i ance act have availed themselves, of the privilege. It is urged that j every enlisted man take out the in-1 surance to the maximum allowed by law and that the families of
i those who have not done so take
] up the matter at once.
The cost of the insurance is very : small, a $10,000 premium costing ! but $6.60 per month. On this
[amount the return to the family of an enlisted man killed during the war would be practically $55 per
* month for a period of twenty years. All enlisted men in the service
at the time of the passage of the act have only until the 12th day I of February to avail themselves of the privilege, or 120 days from the time of passage. Those enlist- ing at later dates have 120 days from the date of their enlistment to take out the insurance. R. E.
j Robertson is prepared to give out I information on the subject to those desiring.
