WILSON vETOES BILL TO
REPEAL DAYLIGHT SAVING

Washington, August 16.-President
Wilson Friday vetoed the bill repeal
ing the daylight saving law.
The President said he returned the
bill without his approval with "the
utmost reluctance" because he realiz-
ed "the very considerable, and in some
respects the serious inconvenience to
which the daylight saving law subjects
the farmers of the country"
Declaring the pressing need of the
country was for production by indus
try, the President said he had been
obliged to balance one set to disad-
vantages against another, and decide
which was the more serious for the
country"

REPUBLICANS READY TO
RATIFY ON RESERVATIONS
Twenty Republican Senators Ready to
Quickly Ratify Peace Treaty With
Certain Reservations.

Washington, August 16.-Twenty
Republican senators are ready to
stand for quick ratification Of the
peace treaty with reservations, Demo-
cratic leaders in the Senahe were in
formed today by leaders Of the Repub-
lican group of reservation advocates.
Republicans favoring reservations
said poll disclosed that upwards Of
twenty senators of their party would
support reservations along the general
lines laid down by the seven Repub-
licans If the treaty could be brought
promptly out of committee and ratified
on that basis.
Senator Hitchcock had an appoint
ment to see President Wilson at the
White House late today and was ex-
pected to lay before him the whole
Senate situation, especially as regards
prompt committee action. The admin e
istration leader declined to say wheth-
er he would suggest a change in the
announced stand of the administration
against reservations.
Although Senator Hitchcock, Ne
braska, the administration leader, still
disclaimed any part in the negotiations
for a settlement, it was apparent that
the move had reached proportions
which might threaten the plans of the
committee for calling additional wit
nesses and prolonged consideration of
the treaty.

NOT SANITARY

The seventy cadets from Souther
Field, who were scheduled to depart
yesterday afternoon for Kelley Field.
San Antonio, Texas, where they had
been transferred to complete their
training, did not get away, after all,
until today. They were to have de-
parted in two special passenger cars
set out at Aries station for them by
the Central of Georgia, but Captain
Mcknight, post surgeon, and Captain
France, of the medical staff, upon ia
spection of the cars, refused to pass
them because of their unsanitary con-
dition and the mems trip was delayed
at the last minute. Their baggage
had been loaded at Americas and it
went on ahead.

officer at Souther Field, stated this
afternoon that other cars had been
set out at Aries by the Central and
that the men left at 2:17 this after
noon, their departure having been
permitted after the post medical au-
thorities had inspected and passed the

Wife's Life Object
To Give Him Hell

ATLANTA, Jan. 22.-According to
his divorce petition, filed in DeKalb
superior court, R. W. McAdams of the
city of Decatur, near Atlanta, might
be entitled to the, distinction of having
the most temperamental woman in the
world for a wife. The outbursts of
famous opera stars and actresses were
very tame affairs compared with his
experiences.
McAdams asserts that his wife
frankly told him that her only object
IN life was to give him HE'LL and
that she proceeded to do so in the
most efficient manner, making life so
miserable that he now asks the court
to relieve him of the bonds of
matrmony.
On one occasion, he alleges, she ex-
&inguished a candle by jabbing the
wick against his cheek. On another
occasion, he charges, she knocked a
cup of hot coffee out of his hand with
a poker, spilling the coffee all over
him, and then whirled around and
broke every pane of glass in window

UNJUST BE NO SAGGING"
ROOSEVElT'S LAST PLEA
Applies in Most Direct Manner to Pop
ular Support of Nations Finan-
cling Projects.

That Theodore Roosevelt's last plea
to America, There must be no sag
ging back" has the most direct appli-
cation to popular support of govern
ment financing projects, including sale
of War Savings Stamps was the state
ment made today by A. R. Rogers,
chairman of the central committee,
War Loan organization for the Ninth
Federal Reserve District.
Roosevelt with his keen American
ism saw the possibility of sag COM
ing with the actual fighting at an end
and was most earnest worker to
keep the hearts and thoughts of the
people placed right during the period
Of rebuilding the same az in the war
PERIOD" Mr.. Rogers said.
Every argument that applied to the
habit of thrift during the war applies
to it today. The personal benefit Of
saving is as great az ever, the profit
from interest on the investment is still
as good as it was. The security Of
any loan made to the government was
unquestionable and today, with fight

that Germany might triumph gone, It
is perfect.
"When Roosevelt said there must
be no sagging' he meant that the hab-
it's of right action developed by the
war must be continued. If he had
been asked he would have said that
|. for the American earners to keep, for
their future benefit and the bene-
fit Of their families, part Of
their earnings, was just as i'm
portant as any of the big national
policies. He would have said that to
the Garner and saver himself savings
are immensely important.
ITO stop saving and buying War
Savings Stamps today would be az
bad for the man at home as 1t would
be for the soldier holding the Rhine
to go on duty from now on without a
rife. Cashing the stamps now which
person has bought before, is simply
retreat as if the army that fought its
way to victory should run back to the
Marne and beckon to the enemy to
pour into France once more"

London, Jan. 16, 1919. - The New
Year is a time for the digestion Of
statistics; and, though the war has
changed our habits somewhat, the ten
dency remains. Some of the figures
placed before us are of serious ma.
ture. For instance, during 1918, no
less than eighty-seven priests died in
England and Wales, thirty-five of
whom succumbed during the last three
months of the war, and only five of
whom are accounted for by the fight
ing. This heavy death roll, coupled
with the fact that Church students are
few and no young priests are COM
ing on, means spiritual famine in the
days to come for the Catholic Church
In England, unless some remarkable
development takes place. That it may
take place is quite possible, because
the Anglican Church is going the way
to disintegration.
The Bishop of Birmingham has fol-
! loWeu the example OF the Bishop OF
London and forbidden Benediction In
the Protestant churches of his Dio-
cese. The result is the clergy are in
open revolt. One vicar declares he
will continue the service; the Bishop
has replied by withdrawing the Ii
cense from the curate Of this particu-
lar parish and stopping his stipend,
to which the vicar answers by prom
Using the stipend out OF his own pocket.
Then the Bishop of Coventry has
started a dangerous innovation by or
ganizing and creating in his Diocese
a House of Laywomen, to assist in the
Diocesan affairs in addition to the
House Of Laymen. Yet, with all these
prescriptions, the Church Associa-
tion has time to meddle with what
does not concern 1t.

A. R. Rogers. Chairman of the Dis
trtct War Loan Organization, predtcts
that by the closing of Savings Society
Week. February "a, there will have
been organized at least 10000 active
societies for the encouragement of
thrift and the sale of government Sc
ourities.
Asked for statement of the aims
and plans of the 1919 campaign, A. R.
Rogers. Chairman of the War Loan
Organization, dictated the following:
''The fighting is over but our war
Job isn't finished. The world has
progressed thus far toward permanent
peace because America stepped in and
of money made it impossible for Au-
tocracy to win. By our marvellous pro-
duction of war materials and our abil-
ity to use them, we convinced Ger
aany that a continuance of the fight
ing meant national suicide.

Kitchens, airplanes, poisonous gases
and ammunition did not reach Europe?
They we're in readiness and would
have gone into the lines in the spring.
Germany knew this. She was whipped
In spirit by the tremendous show OF
power displayed by America.
"Our production of these things
ended the lighting. They saved
money and hundreds Of thousands Of
precious lives. Now they have to b
paid for and they are cheap ct any
price. Our Government must pay fol
\, them and we must temporarily loau
