Government Life Ininrnnre The an-, nouncement that all of the American' soldiers aboard the Tuscania were auto matically Insured for $10-, 000 apiece has brought the advantages of the govern ment's plan vividly before those who have not already applied for the In demnity to which they are entitled and a rapid Increase In the number of appli cations filed has resulted.

C. had applied for a total of $108. 000,000 of war risk Insurance and at the other camps throughout the country tha Insurance enrollment Is rapidly Increas ing. If all those who are enlisted tn tha army and navy should apply for & maximum to which they aro nUU4 tha total would be something over $7,000. 000.000. No estimate of tha aggregate insurance granted has thus far been pub lished but those who are In touch with the movement believe that It Is not Im probable that policies amounting alto gether to not less than one half this sum will ultimately be Issued.
