Washington, Aug. 1S.--President
Wilson today vetoed the army appro-

to June 80. 1917. His action re-
suited In the bill exempting retired
army officers from liability to SER
vice and discipline under the rules,

itself grew out OF objections made
by certain retired officers when ask

OF the Mexican trouble at recruiting
Offices and mastering stations.
The president is understood to OBJ
ject to that provision OF the bill COW
ering the status OF officers Of the
army on the retired list about whom
there has been constant strife in

The action today will mean that at
least this provision Of the bill will

preparation measure that might re-
suit In prolonging congress.

PARALYSIS SPREADS
ALARNINGLY IN CHICAGO

Chicago, Aug. 1S.--Infantile par
alysis is increasing in Chicago to an
alarming extent. Eighty known cases
have been reported this month. it
was admitted today by health de-
partment officials and the spread Of
the disease is continuing. They deny
however. that the malady is epidemic.
At the county hospital it was ad-
mitted today there are 61 cssss
quarantined and emergency prepara-
tions being made to receive much
greater number. An average OF three
patients day is being received and
the procession Is increasing rather
than diminishing. Three of the VIC
Tins at the county hospital are ad-
ults.
That the mysterious plague is
spreading is indicated by the fact
that with few exceptions. none Of
the cases comes from the same To-
cality.
