'* * * “For the purpose of determining whether yearly renewable term insurance is or was in force, the grace period for the payment of premiums shall be computed so as to include thirty-one days from and after the last day of the calendar month on which, if the insured is in the service or if he had remained in the service, the unpaid premiums would have been payable. During such grace period the insurance shall remain in force but the unpaid premiums shall be deducted from any settlement under the insurance on account of any claims arising during such grace period.””
