PRESIDENT VETOES THE IL r.
GREAT ARMY MEASURE
He Would Not Accept Provisions II
Revision Of the Articles Of
War .-.'

Washington, Aug. 18.-The army ap-
preparation bill was unexpectedly We
toed today 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 cat outs - with
the army. 4
Chairman Hay, of the house mill
tary committee, at once re-introduced
the measure with the entire section re-
vising the articles Of war stricken out
and the declaration that no revision at
all would 90 through with the bill In
this Congress.
Chairman Chamberlain, Of the SEN
ate military affairs committee, an
nounced that the senate would rein
, sert the revision approved by the Pres
. ident and the war department, but
: stricken out in the house and that the
! situation had resolved itself into con
test between the senate and house OF
! one hand and Mr.. Hay on the other.
The tangle threatens to delay the ad
~ iournment of Congress and, inclden
a. tally, completion of the preparedness
- program, as well as to hold up appro
:, priations for the army increases an
all the extra expenses involved In Tn
.. Mexican service.

there is an agreement to take 1T u
n and expedite passage Tuesday If

o the senate puts in revision OF tt
- articles of war and sends it back
t;e the house.
The President 8 veto, one OF Il
,s few he has exercised, marks anoth
stage in the long fight between t
49, army and Chairman Hay. The arr
all charges Hay with defeat of the &C
q tinental army and universal tram
plans, and the substitution OF natloi
,oa guard reorganization which 1t
nd posed.
H.. Congressman Hay recently was
and pointed judge of the court OF ela'
hv. President Wilson and now is Sc
-aa4 ine his last term in Congress.
The articles of war have not b
of revised in hundred years and
,on+ said to be sadly deficient for deal

Raleigh, August 21.-Before the AS

low who is hot and heats the fellow
who is cool; produces sleep for the

It is rumored that this attack OF
