Only Itequired to be In Good Health. Washintgtoij, July C.5.-iDischgarged service imen who let their government insurance lapse were given the privi leg of reinstating their policies with in eighteen months without ipayment of back premimis, under an order signed today by Secretary Glass. The new reinstatement regulation, on1e of a niumiber under coni Iderat ion designed to make it possible for ev ery discharged soldier, sailor and marine to continac government. insur ance after return to civil life, is re garded as the most liberal ever of fred by any insurance organizationl. h'lie only requirement is that the man requestinjg reinsta temelit must be in as good health as at the t inic of dis charge and must pay the premium for the one mliolith of grace inl which his isuraince was contined after he stopped aiymelnt an1id the oremium fr tie monlitt il w ich lhe l eiu ci ests reinl staitllent. i'reiumii t for te inter venling ml1on1ths will not. he required. "Many Service men have been de Iterred front reinstating policies ie Causte they did not wish to pay, or could not pay, the accumulated pre miims," Director ('hol meley-.lones of the war risk bureau said. "The new decision permits a man to rehabili tate himself financially after returning to civil life and then take tuip his in surance as an investment. The reason payment for the month of grace is required Is that the insured was pro tected by having his policy continued 'a. force that month, and if lie had died his dependelits iwould have re ceived the face of the policy. "F'hould a lapse again occur, after the eighteen months from date of dis charge, reinstatement may be made provided such insurance shall not have lapsd more titan one ye ar. "I want to make it clear that the new ruling does not automatically re instate anybody's policy. Every man who allows his policy to lapse is with out protection until lie voluntarily a.; iles for reinstatement, which I strongly Irge all men to do at. once, while their physical condition is such that. reinstatement may be made. * OltA NEWS. * Ora, July 28-M.Olini H-agan, of Greenville, spent a night last week with Mr. W.

Washington, July 2'.-1laving found that the price per acre now demand ed from the governleiint for land re Oiuisitioned in biikidinig IIei embarka tion trieminal at Charleston, S. C.. would rePreseit about 10,000 'per cent increase over the purchase price of six years ago, the war department. board of appraisers has subintted a report. recommending a flat refusal. In stea(d of the $798,500 asked foi' the principal claimant, the report recom mends payment of $12,360 as a fair and Just compensation for the pro sper'ty and all (anmages (resulting from Ie govern ilent's re(iu isition. Lieutenant Colonel Ralph WV. Don ges, chairman of the appraisal board, fixed a maximum valuo of $100 per acre as compared with $1,887 demand ed by one claimant. "It is needless to say," the board's report said, "that every compelling reason should be shown to warrant such a remarkable Increase in valucs as are hero claimed. It is reported that there was paid about $2,000 per acre -for Hog Island, within a mile or two of the third greatest city of the United States, and on the Delaware river on which is a very great volume of shipping. And yet that transaction was made the subject of investigation and much adverse criticism. Certain ly a demand for the same price for marsh lands six and one-half miles from Charleston is cause for careful, painstaking investigation to detmerine the cause of j;uich pronounced jn. creases from $8 an acre ia 1908 and $35 in 1912 to over $1,800 in 1918."
