Margin OF Twenty-tour.
Provisions OF Bill.


Washington. The Hay Army reor.
ganization bill. the first of the admins
tration preparedness measures, was
passed by the House by vote OF 402
to 2. The vote placed the House on
record squarely behind the President
in his program for increased national
defense.
The two men who voted against The
Hay bill in its final form were Repre-
sentative Fred Britten. of Illinois, and
Representative Meyer London. the
New York Socialist. Representative
Britten declared that the Hay bill did
not constitute sufficient provision
for land defense, and asserted that he
would not vote for a. ridiculous"
measure The Socialist member said
he was opposed to any increase in the
standing army.
BY a vote of 191 tos213 the admins
tration supporters in the House mar
rowly defeated an effort to increase
the regular army provided in the Hay
bill from 100000 to 200, 900. Repre-
sentative Kahn, of California, ranking
Republican Of the House Military At
fairs Committee, succeeded in calling
up his amendment, which had pre-
viously been defeated on rising vote.
He obtained unanimous consent for a
separate ballot on the amendment and
secured a record vote.

together, and the vote, which split
party lines badly, defeated the amend
ment by only % votes.
Another amendment on which
separate vote had been demanded was
proposed by Representative Anthony,
of Kansas, member of the Hay Mill
tary Committee. It's designs were to
give infantry and cavalry officers the
preference for detached and detail
duty, to create more vacancies in
those arms, to increase the flow of:
promotion and equalize the various
arms and corps in this respect. No
roll-call was taken and the amendment
was rejected on rising vote by 1873
to 1863
AS it was passed by the House the
Hay bill provided:
A regularly army Of 100000 men.
an increase Of 10000 over the present
authorized strength.
"A federalized militia Of 10000
men under the control of the federal
government.

THE GERMAN AND BULGARIAN FORCES ARE DRIVEN FROM
 SERBIAN CITY.
TURNED BIG GUNS ON FOE
With Monastir in Their Possession 1t Is Expected That the Serbs Will Set Up Government On Their
 Own Soil as the Capital.

Paris.-French troops captured from the German and Bulgarian forces the chief southern Serbian town of Monastir, the French War Department reports.
 The campaign for Monastir has ex- tended over a period of several months, with the French and British troops from Saloniki and the reorgan- ized Serbian army participating. For many weeks the battle seemed a draw, but recently the Bulgarian-German line began to yield, and since then the allied forces have been steadily driv- ing back their enemies. The advance was always slowly, but each day the reports told of small gaIns.
 Last week the French and Serbian forces took possession of the crest of the hills to the south of Monastir, and threatened to reduce the city with their heavy artillery. The German position apparently became untena- ble and the Germans and Bulgars withdrew. The Germans are now said to OOCupy HUI LII Ol LIS ClIy.
 Another Franco-Serbian force that has been driving upon Monastir from the southeast is continuing to gain ground, having recently taken several more small towns in that region.
 With Monastir in their possession, it is expected that the Serbs will set up a government on their own soil with the recaptured city as the capi. tai.
 News of the occupation if Monastir was received in Paris as one of the most important of the recent develop ments of the war.
 The Temps says that the success is not only of immense moral value, but is likely to have a great influence or l subsequent developments in the Bal kan campaign, as the place commands all the practical routes between the Aegean sea and the Adriatic sea-
 The fall of Monastir, the newspa per says, involves the early fall o1 i Ochrida, 25 miles northwest of the oc cupied town and the region of the Ma cedonian lakes, and assures an effec tive junction of the army at Salonik and the Italian troops operating ir Albania.

Kidney Disorder
(BY DIR. V. M. PIERCE )

The most simple methods are usu- ally the most effective ones when treating any disorder of the human system. The mere drinking a cup of hot water each morning, plenty of pure water all day, and a little Anuric before every meal has been found the most effective means of overcoming kidney trouble. Death would occur if the kidneys did not work day and night in separating poisons and uric acid from the blood.
 The danger signals are backache, Impressions, pains, heaviness, drowsi- ness, irritability, headaches, chilli ness, rheumatic twinges, swollen joints or gout.
 Since 1t is sucb . simple matter to step into your favOrite drug store and obtain Anuric, anyone who earnestly desires to regain health and new life will waste no time in beginning this treatment.
