III am persuaded that officers upon
the retired list would themselves re-
gard it as an invidious and unpalatable
discrimination, which, in effect, ex-
cludes them from full membership in
the profession to which they have de-
voted their lives and of which by the
laws of their country they are still
members.
Questions Its Constitutionality.
so long as congress sees fit to
make the retired personnel a part of
the army of the United States, the
constitutionality of the proposed ex-
liability under the articles of war is a
matter of serious doubt, leaving the
president as it does, without any
mears sanctioned by statute of exer-
cfsing over the personnel thus ex-
empted, the power of command vested
in him by the constitution.
Bitter Fight Expected.
Convinced as I am of the unwis-
dom of this provision and of its bane-
full effect upon the discipline of the
army; doubling. as 1 do, the power of
congress wholly to exempt retired Of
ficers from the control of the presi-
dent. while declaring them to be part
of the regular army of the United
States, 1 am constrained to return this
bill without my approval"
The veto of the vill-carTying $751;
900, 000-will delay the general mill
tary reorganization as provided for in
separate measure now a law, which
provides for regular army OF IT'S. 1000
regulars and 100000 national guards
men. Chairman Chamberlain of the
senate military committee declared the
upper house would insert the old ar
ticles of war when the rev house
measure reached the senate. A bitter
fight in conference is expected when
the new bill reaches that stage.
How Fight Started.
There have been broad intimations
that the revision which proposed to re-
move retired officers from the juris-
diction of courts martial was in the
interest of a certain retired officer
who was waiting for a time when he
would be immune from discipline to
make a public attack on the army.
The officer, whose name was men,
toned in connection with the report
was, while in service. very active in
legislative affairs was very close to con-
gressmen framing army bills and until
his retirement was reckoned with as
a power in legislation affecting the
army. The presidents veto of the bill
is one of the development of years
of contest between the army and
Chairman Hay
The downfall of the continental
army scheme and substitution of the
national guard reorganization against
the recommendation of the army Of
ficers is attributed to him Only the
force of Presidents Wilson'S interior
ence put the regular army increase in
the new organization bill thru the
house in the face of Hays opposition.
Recently President Wilson appointed
Hay to a judgeship on the court of
claims and he now is serving his last
term in congress. The war depart
ment contends that many features of
the army bill were written into it in
the conference and never were debated
in house or senate.
