SOLDIERS SOON
To BECOME LAW
Dependents to Be Cared for
During Service of Enlisted
Man Death and Injury Pay
ments Provided,

Washington, Aug. 29.--The admin
istration soldiers and sailors insur-
ance bill, designed as substitute in
the fdture for the present pension
system, was favorably reported today
by'a house committee.
The principal change made in the
bill by the committee was the reduc-
ton of the maximum amount of op-
tional insurance a man may take
from $4,000 to $4,000. Another
amendment adopted provides that the
allowance of widow shall automatic
ally cease upon remarriage. Origin
ally the allowance would have con.
tinued for two years after the death
Of the husband. ...
Chairman Adamson said the bill
would be reported tomorrow and pos
slbly he passed by the house this week
, Other Provisions.
The bill would provide allowances
for dependents of men in the service,
compensation for death and disa bility,
optional insurance for officers and
elisted men and educational and vo-
N"'io'di tiaihiit6 LOT HOIlUTdDly ulS-
charged men. Administration costs
for the first and second years of the
war are estimated at SIG, ,000, 900 and
$Ss0,00O,0OO respectively.
The optional insurance section of
the bill round which the bitterest fight
will wage contemplates the issuance
to officers and men without distinc-
tion of policies ranging from $1,000
to $1,000 for the duration of the war
only at an estimated cost of IS for
$1,000 to the policy-holders. Insur-
ance companies recently are said to
have declined to assume such war
risks for less than s5S for 81, 900.
Payment to Dependents.
Proposed allotments for depend
ents of men in the service would range |
from SIS month upward to $50, ao-
cordng to the number of dependents
and their relationship to the man in
the service. A dependent wife with |
no children would receive SIS al
with one child, $25; two chill
dren, $3.50, and for each additional 7
child, IS.
Upon death resulting from injuries

Springfield Woman Killed Self,
Defendant Says,

SPRINGFIELD, Mo, July 2S-Roy
Todd, rs years old, was placed on trial
in the criminal court here today on a
charge of first degree murder for the
killing OF Mrs. Elizabeth iludnall. The
tragedy occurred the same night that
Baby Lloyd Keet was kidnapped,
Todd denies he killed Mrs. lIudnall,
declaring TAT she suggested a suicide
pact and that before he could prevent
it, she carried out her par, of the agree
ment by cutting her throat He claims
he then took the razor from her and
slashcd his own throat He was near
death for several days from his wounds
The state will attempt to show that
Todd killed Mrs. Iludnall in a fl, OF
Jealousy and then attempted to end his
own life.
A request for a change Of venue was
denied. The defense asserted that ex-
citemcnt resulting from the kcct case
had caused prejudice agains, Todd be

U-B0AT SIGHTED
Instant Swinging Of Ship
Makes Torpedo Miss,
By the Associated Press.

A BRITISH PORT ON THE
SOUTHEAST COAST, July 2s.-Just
how a British destroyer acts when at
tackled by a submarine wa unexpectedly
demonstrated to an Associated Press
correspondent today while travelling on
one OF the modern oil burner torpedo
boat d~estroyers from England to France.
Conveying British Troops.
The destroyer was one OF a certain
number which were conveying in the
usual manner some large torpedo boats
carrying British troops to France. The
group Of ships was on the way across
the channel when suddenly one OF the
lookouts saw a pair OF twin pcriScopeS
rise for a moment a few inches out OF
the water a half mile away. They were
gone the next instant but almost before
they had gone came the shout "subma-
rine port bow" accompanied by a shrill
warning from the destroyer's whistle
and the fluttering out OF the flag which
notified every other ship IN the convoy
OF the enemy's presence.
On every ship things began to happen,
more quickly than the telling. Guns
were swung in the direction from which
the periscope had been seen, ready to
speak If the perlscope appeared again
Torpedo tubes likewise were swung into
line and the numerous nti-submarine
devices along decks were in the hands Of
their skilled, expert crews.
Torpedo Clearly Visible.
But even while this was being done
came the torpedo clearly visible from
the deck, its cleaning brass body glis.
