NAY POSTPONE ADJOURNMENT
Bill Is Relntoduced With Entire Sec
ton Eliminated Fight Is Be-
tween Congress and Hay.

Washington. ID. c. = The army ap'
preparation bill was Unexpectedly We
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 Eat outs with
the army"
Chairman Hay. Of the house military
committee, at once reintrodueed the
bill with, the entire section revising
the articles Of war stricken out, and
the declaration that no revision at all
would 60 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 well as TO hold up ap-
propriations for the army increases
and all the extra expenses involved in
the Mexican service
The bill as reintrodueed 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-
ixation, 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
It 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 il while liable to discipline.

WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
TO Lydia E. PinIxharn Medi.
cine Co.

Women who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
qenuine7" Are they truthful ="
"Why do women write such lettersf !"
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent Of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands OF women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
It has relieved women from some Of
the worst forms Of female ills, from dis
placements, Inflammation, liberation,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
It is impossible for any woman who
