 NOW in Senate
(By Review Leased Wire.l )

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The ad- ministration soldiers and sailors in- surance bill. designed as a substitute in the future for the present pension system. was favoElbly reported today by house committee.
 Reduce Maximum.
 The principal change made in the bill by the committee was the reduc- tion of the maximum amount of op- tional insurance a man may take from S10.000 to S5000. Another amendment adopted provides that the allowance of a widow shall automatically cease upon remarriage. Originally the al lowance would have continued for two years after the death of the husband. Chairman AdamsOn said the bill would be reported tomorrow and pos sibly passed by the house this week.
 Allows for Dependents.
 The bill would provide allowances for dependents of men in the service. compensation for death and disability, optional insurance for officers and en. listed men and educational and voca tional training for honorably discharg- ed men. Administration costs for the first and second years of the war are estimated at S176,OOO, 900 and $3SO, ,OOO.- 900 respectively.
 Bitter Fight Expected.
 The optional insurance section of the bill, around which the bitterest fight will wage, Contemplates the issu- lnce to officers and men without dis tinction of policies ranging from ST. 900 to S5O0O for the duration of the war only, at an estimated cost of $S a 5000 to the policy-holder. Insurance companies recently are said to have declined to assume such war risks for less than S5S 5000.
 Proposed AIIotments-
 Proposed allotments for dependents of men in the service would range from s5 month, according to depend ents and their relationship to the man in the service. A dependent wife with no support would receive $20 month with one child, S25, with two children s325O.
