Insurance Section of Meas.
ure Is Undergoing
Revision
Firms Ask Guarantee
Conferees Favor Federal Com
pensation Against
Lapses

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Attacks by
representatives of insurance companies
and Senators on the validity OF the IN
surance provisions of the soldiers ana
sailors civil rights bill resulted late
to-day in an agreement by the Senate
judiciary subcommittee to consider
new insurance section 10 be drafted by
representatives of the War Department
aLd the companies.
These Representatives will confer to-
morrow in an effort TO draw for COM
mttee consideration on Monday re-
vision which will protect against the
forfeiture of policies by men fighting
ut the front without involving the con-
stitutional question of the right OF
Congress TO impair the Obligations OF
insurance contracts.
j. II. Mcintosh, general counsel OF the
New York Life Insurance Company,
contended that the section as drawn
imposed q contract that the mutual in.
surance companies could not enter into,
because il meant that Congress pro-
posed TO take property from one man
without compensation and give 1t to
another. He predicted that its enact
ment would mean the failure Of a num-
Der Of life insurance companies.
Robert /. Cox, of New York, repre-
senting the Association Of Life lnsur-
ance Companies. told the sub-commit-
tee that the only fund available 10 con-
tinue the insurance carried by men
taken into government service IS the
reserve. and that the in
surance payments on policies held by
the fighting men would have to come
from policyholders not in the military
service. This, he contended, would vlo-
late the insurance contracts.
Major Wigmare. of the judge, advo-
cate generals Office, who was largely
in drawing the bill, sug-
Cestcd that Congress guarantee the
companies against losses by reason OF
suspension OF premium payments. TINS
met the approval OF Senators Reed and
who had opposed the pro
vision. and of Chairman Overman. II
was understood that revision along
that line would be considered at to-
morrow's conference.

Women Winning
Lead at Columbia
Take Upper Hand at Uni
versity as Army Call Cuts
Enrolment Of Men

If the war lasts many years Columbia
University will be classed with Rad
ciffe, Bryn Mawr and Vassar. The
first four days Of registration for the
opening of the 165th academic year
indicated last night that women are
going to have the upper hand at Co
lumbia this year.
Because men have answered the call
&c the colors women are getting special
concessions on the campus. Only yes
terday it became known that Furnald
Hall, the newest and largest Of the
mems dormitory buildings, would be
used by girls this year.
Instead of clamoring TO be admitted
into professional courses, it seems the
girls will decide whether it be wise to
let mere men have few of the ad-
vantages of academic training. When
the registration for the fall term closes,
Wednesday, it is believed that the pro-
portion of girl students will be unpre-
cedentedly large.
As result of the war, said Frank A..
Dickey, the registrar, every profess
sional school in the university, except
the College of Physicians and Surgeons,
will show a considerable decrease in
the number Of students. He expects a
20 per cent decrease in the enrolment.
Columbia College, IN which q large
majority of the students are under
twenty-one. probably will suffer less
than any other unit Of the university.
Special courses will be offered at the
yersity to prepare men for naval
and military service. In the depart
ment Of physics, for example, attention
will be paid to the analysis of eXplo-
sives. Engineering students will have
their technical courses include the con-
struction Of trenches, bridges and mill
tary roads. At the College of Physi-
clans and Surgeons intensive training
will be given in the treatment of
wounds.
Besides the Columbia students who
have entered the national service il is
estimated that $50 instructors and pro-
fessors are doing special work for the
government as civilians and as army
officers.
