SAYS War Risk Bill
Favors Rich Soldiers

Objections 10 the war risk insurance
bill, now before Congress, on the
grounds that certain clauses discrim-
mate against poor soldiers and that
extensions of policies after the war
would require the opening of Federal
department, are contained in a recent
issue of "The Spectator" the insurance
journal.
The bill would provide q maximum
individual limit of $4,000 at a prem
ium rate Of SO a $1,000. with the result
that wealthy soldiers could secure more
insurance than POOR soldiers. the article
points out. II is recommended that the
government offer a fixed sum of $1,000
life insurance, or death benefit, instead.
If half the soldiers took $4,000 in
insurance. the article estimates, the
cost to the government in the first year
would be 1884, 100000 and In the sec
ond year would be 5000, 100000. Act
uaries say the costs are pronibitive.

ment to continue the insurance after

Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE.

For several months, now, we have
been receiving through the mails yards
of typewriter matter from one Joe
Jacobs, who always signs himself,
yours in sport" and mostly these
communications have had to do with
Willie and Dave Astey, bantam and
featherweight boxers, respectively.
Some Of these stories we have read and
enjoyed and others we have just read.
While giving the latest screed from
Joe the ~ and d" last night, the thought
suddenly struck us that Jacobs had a
motive in sending his endless chain OF
Astey stories this way. We may be
doing Joe an injustice, but We can't
escape the conviction that he wants TO
have these things published, and so we
are going TO please the bashful author
for just this once.
Extracts from Joe Jacobs's Little
Classics: Carrying a heavy coat Of
sunburn and hard as nails, Willie
Astey. the HARD HITTING and AG-
GRESSIVE chats the way Joe wrote
it,, little West Side bantamweight. ar
rived back in New York to-day, anxious
for the cool weather 10 set in and en-
able him to get started on what Willie
hopes is a record-breaking campaign
There is more, lots, but compressed,
il amounts TO this, that Willie is going
TO box Tommy Shea at Bridgeport on
September 10, and Terry Martin at
Providence on the 2lst, both bouts at
twelve rounds.
We have never seen q flea in action
on hot griddlc, but we imagine that
il and James Joy Johnston, the Bad
Boy Bandit, must have something in
common. for James is hopping about
these days just like q flea in trouble.
Tomorrow night. as all the world
knows, the Bandit will put on three
star ten-round bouts at the St Ncho-
las Rink. Ted-Kid Lewis VS.. Albert
Badoud. Joe yelling vs.. Tommy Tuohey
and frankie Burns VS.. frankie Brown,
being the attractions.
Without even waiting to take the
gloves of their hands. Johnston and

Soldiers Insurance
Reduced to $4,000
Administration Measure Is
Reported in Modified
Form to House

WASHINGTON, Aug 29.-The Ad-
ministration soldiers and sailors in
surance bill. designed as substitute
in the future for the present pension
system. was favorably reported to-day
BY House committee.
Representative Parker, Of New Jer-
sew. cast the only vote against report
ing the measure. He was opposed TO
the optional insurance feature, ex-
pressing the view advanced by the
private insurance companies that "
would cost a tremendous sum OF money
and could not be administered fairly,
The principal change made in the
bill by the committee was the reduc-
ton of the maximum amount OF OPP
tional insurance a man may take from
$4,000 TO $4,000. Another amendment
adopted provides that the allowance of
4 widow shall automatically cease upon
remarriage. Originally the allowance
would have continued for two years
after the death OF the husband,
Bill May Pass This Week.
Chairman Adamson said tonight the
bill would be reported tomorrow and
possibly passed by the House this
