Itions to Be Adjudicated
by Congress.
PRESIDENT BACKS
INSURANCE BILL
Plan Of Congress to Sidetrack Measure
Fixing Insurance on Lives Of Soldiers
Halted by WIson-McAdoo An
nounces Second Liberty Loan Will
Not be Advertised If Newspapers In.
sist Upon Receiving Pay.

Washington, Sept. 14-Preliminary
steps toward final perfection of the
war tax bill were taken today when
senats and house conferees on the
measure met to thresh out differences.
which are chiefly over the postage
and inheritance section. 1t is hoped
to complete the work inside of a week.
after which the bill will go to the pres
ident for approval.
= Senate consideration of the federal
war credit bill began today with pros
pect Of it's passage by tomorrow night.
The measure already has passed the
house.
Wilson Backs Insurance Bill.
Containing a provision for equal
compensation to dependents of enlist
ed men and officers, the administra-
tons soldiers and sailors insurance
bill went to the senate today follow
ing the unanimous vote by the house
last night. The senate consideration
of the bill probably will begin immed-
lately afer the war credis bill is dis
posed Of.
Plans for adjourning congress With
out senate action on the soldiers and
sailors insurance bill were much dis
arranged today by an authoritative
announcement that President WilsoS
would insist that the measure become
a law before congress quits. There is
strong sentiment in the senate for
closing up business and let the bill
wait until the December session.
Not to Advertise New Loan.
Secretary McAdoo's statement to the
senate finance committee on the war
credits bill indicates that the paid
newspaper advertising campaign for
the next issue of liberty bonds, advo-
Gated by publishers associations, will
not be adopted ~ r-
Limited newspaper advertising at the
most is possible, Secretary McAdoo
stated He advised the committee that
only one bond issue between now and
the December session of congress is
planned or possible.
TT may be necessary to use some
advertising" said Secretary McAdoo
do not know whether u will be In
newspapers or some other FORM
He stated that the publishers prog
ram of s26OO,00O for paid periodical
advertising could. not be adopted be-
cause it virtually would take the en-
tire available expense allowance for
floating the bonds. The expense OF
floating the first issue with no paid
newspaper advertising, he said, was
about sz,6U0,00v. Mr. McAdoo also said
that members of congress could great
lv assist in the forthcoming effort by
going home and campaigning for the
bonds -.
