WILSON Y[TOES
ARMY MEASURE
Objection Made 10 fxempting Retired
iOffieas from Discipline.
MAY POSTPONE ADJOURNMENT
Bill is Reintroduced With Entire Sec
tion Eliminated Fight is Be-
tween Congress and Hay.

Washington, d. G. - The army ap-
preparation bill was Unexpectedly ve-
toed Friday by President Wilson be-
cause he would not accept certain pro-
visions in the revision of the articles
of war, forced into the bill by the
house conferees and commonly said in
army circles to be in the interest of
certain retired officers "at outs with
the army"
Chairman Hay, of the house military
committee, at once reintroduced the
bill with the entire section revising
the articles of war stricken out, and
the declaration that no revision at all
would go through with the bill in this
congress.
Chairman Chamberlain, of the SEN
ate military committee, announced
that the senate would re-insert the re-
vised draft approved by the President
and the War department, but stricken
out in the house, and that the situation
had resolved itself into contest be-
tween the senate and house on one
hand and Mr.. Hay on the other.
The tangle threatens to delay the
adjournment of congress, and inciden-
tally the completion of the prepared
ness program, as we'll as to hold up ap-
preparations for the army increases
and all the extra expenses involved in
the Mexican service.
The bill as reintroduced now is in
the house military committee and
there is an agreement to take it up
and expedite the continental army and
universal training plans, and the sub
stitution of National Guard reorgan-
ization, which it opposed.
Army officers also say certain fea-
lures of the bill were injected in con-
ference and never were debated on the
floor of either house of congress.
The articles of war have not been
revised in 100 years and are said to be
sadly deficient for dealing with the
conditions which growth of the army
and development of the nation require.
The War department is especially
anxious for changes to enable army
officers to deal adequately with prob
lens arising during the present Mexi-
can service.
Included in the revision worked out
by congress, over the objection of the
President and the War department,
was provision which exempted re-
tired officers from court-martials and
army discipline, if not actually from
army control, and placed them under
the jurisdiction of the civil courts.
1t is common understanding among
army officers that the section covered
the case of certain retired officer,
formerly regarded as power in shap-
ing military legislation, who was pre-
pairing to write book and hesitated
to do it while liable to discipline.

shortage will result in high prices for
sugar again this winter.

mountain berries, are on the local mar
ket. They are in excellent condition

little green. The price is $1.25 box

corn is still scarce. Cantaloupes were
almost cleaned up because of the great
demand. Standards are quoted at ST..
