Show ENEMIES MAY GET U. I S. WAR insurance! V j Beneficiaries, However, Will Not Be i Paid Until After the Con- j elusion of the War. ' CAMP LEWIS. Taeoma, Wash., Feb.! 23. Austria ns or other members of the national army may niako residents j of countries at war with the United 1 States beneficiaries of their war risk : insurance, according to an opinion ron- ; dered in the office of the judge advo- j cate today. Whether the insurance ! would be paid to the beneficiaries dur- inc the period of the war is another j question, however, the opinion states. Private insurance companies would . not pay insurance to persons in a coun- try at war with tho I'uited States, it is pointed out, and there is no reason why the United States government ' should do so during the war. The: insurance will be, therefore, for pay- : merit after the war. j There are said to be several instances in which men of the army at Camp Lewis have named residents iu enemy countries as their beneficiaries. |
