War Bill or $3,281,000,000
May Be Signed Today. -
tVASHINCl-TON, June 12. Today
IVesldent Wilson took a hand In the
Congressional controversy which has
been delaying final passage of the
S3. 281,000,000 war budget bill and the
measure probably will be sent to him
(tomorrow for his signature.
In a letter to Chairman Padgett, of
the House naval committee, the Presi
dent transmitted an unqualifiedly in
dorsed communication from Secretary
Daniels emphasizing the need of a
naval base on Hampton roads. Soon
afterwards the House adopted a con
ference report on the budget measure
with a modification of the section in
dispute providing the acquisition of the
old Jamestown Exposition site for the
naval station." The Senate is expected
. to concur tomorrow.
The exposition site provision has
kept the bill in conference for a week.
The House objected to the price of
91,400,000 fixed for the property as
exorbitant and there was talk on the
floor of graft.
The modification written into the
bill today provides that the President
shall take over the "site at a price
satisfactory to him not to exceed
SI. 200,000.
in his letter today Secretary Daniels
said Hampton Roads, the most Import
ant strategic point on the Atlantic
Coast, was the only place where a
naval base of 1000 acres could be ac
quired Inexpensively. He said the track
was urgently needed -so that a train
ing station might' be set up to take
care of recruits. ' ' .

Last Talk to Soldiers Occurs
Chapel Service Life In . Army
' Recalled From Early Days at
Fort Yuma to Present.
VANCOUVER BARRACKS, . Wash..
June 12. (Special.) Forty-four years
ago a young man from Michigan, Rich
ard H.' Wilson, Just 20 years old, en
tered '. West Point Military Academy.
Today this same man. Colonel Richard
H. Wilson, Just 84 years old, is retiring
from the United States Army, after
having given almost his whole life to
his country and her possessions. Since
he has been in the service he has been
stationed in. practically every post in
the United States, was for several years
In Porto Rico, in Cuba in the Spanish
War. in 1898, the Philippine Islands and
Alaska.. Now that he has reached the
limit in age allowed by law. he Is step
ping out.
When he graduated from west Point
as a Second Lieutenant he was sent to
Fort Yuma. Ariz., then a wild country.
After nearly 44 years of military serv
ice, last month he found himself In
command of the Fourteenth Infantry
and stationed in Tuma, Ariz. It was
the plan then by the oficers of the regi
ment to have their Colonel retire at
the same place he started out on his
long military career, but the regiment
was ordered here before the time came,
so he retired here today.
Fort Yd ma Now Indian School.
Fort Tuma has for many years been
an Indian school, but some of the build
ings of the old post are there, and it
was planned for the regiment to march
from Yuma, the city, to old Fort Yuma,
where appropriate services would have
been held, but the War Department
changed all these plans by ordering the
regiment to the Pacific Coast.
.. Colonel Wilson left today for Fort '
Lawton, Wash., at Seattle, and from
there he will proceed to Chicago to Join
his wife and two daughters. Miss Grace
Wilson and Miss Mary Wilson. He is
not yet decided what he will do during
the remainder of his life, though the
Government may call him out to drill
recruits at some station. This is not
definite, though.
Colonel Wilson was guest of honor
at a dinner given by officers of the
Fourteenth Infantry, with which he has
been for the past seven years. In Bach
elors' building. At this time he was
presented with a history and encyclo
pedia of music He is Is very fond of
music and always paid particular at
tention to the band of his organization.
Final Talk' Is at Chapel. 1
At the UBual chapel services held in
the post gymnasium Sunday morning
at 10 o'clock Colonel Wilson, at the re
quest of Chaplain Groves, who has
known him for the past 20 years, gave
a talk on the "Need of Worship and
the Value to Man's Character." A large
number of the men also attended the
services, showing the esteem in which
they held, their commanding officer.
Colonel Wilson has always been a
regular attendant of the chapel services
in the Army and he heartily urged those
present to do as he had done and attend
some form of religious services regu
larly. He gave a brief sketch of life
with the Army and his keen regret at
leaving." but the great relief In laying
down-, the burden of so many years.
Those .who know him say he has al
ways been unusually thoughtful and
considerate of everyone with whom he
came in contact. The high reputation
for discipline and character of tb
Fourteenth Infantry is credited to Colo
nel Wilson's example. '
Colonel Wilson has been stationed at
Fort Lawton most of the time for the
past seven years and, being Benlor
Colonel in the Seventh Brigade, was In
command of it the greater part of the
time for the past three years, since
the Brigadier-General attached retired.
He has made many trips to this post
from Fort Lawton In connection with
duties of the brigade. ' '
the claimant's compensation in accord
ance with the provisions of the com-i
pensation act as it existed at the time
of the hearing. Miller was injured
while working as a carpenter in Port
land, and the employer and employe
had both accepted the provisions of
the compensation act. The applica
tion for compensation was denied by
the eCommisslon on the grounds that
the injury claimed existed before the
time. of the accident described.
The Supreme eCourt holds faulty the
contention that a court can fix com
pensation other than that provided in
the act, declaring, "its 'effect would be
to repeal -the compensation act by the
simple process of appeal. Under the
provisionus of the statue an appeal from
a decisioij of the Commission does not
give the appellate tribunal any new
cause of action or any different law
upon which to base Its Judgment."
Justice Benson wrote the opinion.
Other cases 'were decided today as
follows:
Wakefield, Fries A Company vs. Alfred T.
Parkhurst, appellant: appealed from Mult-
nomah; proceeding to dtermlne the owner- ,
Mail Censorship and Extension of

Government Can Also Regu
late Food for Foreigners.
WASHINGTON. June 12. The Admin
istration espionage bill was finally ap
proved by the Senate today .without a
rollcall and sent to the White House
for the President's signature. Provi
sions for newspaper censorship have
been struck out and material modifi
cation in other respects had been made.
The most important legislation re
tained gives the President authority to
embargo exports. The law would pun
ish espionage by death or long impris
onment; penalizes interference with for
eign commerce; provides for enforce
ment of neutrality; authorizes seizure
of shipments of arms designed for un
lowful purposes; fixes penalties for in
juring vessels In forelegn commerce or
disturbance of foreign relations, .and
imposes new restrictions upon pass
ports. - . i
Other provisions are for, censorship
of the mails and extension of the use of
searon warrants.
Prganlsatlon to Be Outlined.
The act probably will b adminis
tered by the Department of Commerce,
with an advisory board named from
the State. War, Navy and. Commerce
departments and the food administra
tion. The State- Department will de
cide questions that Involve Interna
tional policy and the food administra
tion will have the final word regard
ing food exports.
Officials say the measure is as es
sential to a proper food administra
tion as are the food control bills. No
matter how heavy are foreign food
purchases, the Government by regulat
ing shipments can accomplish as much
in this direction as if it controlled pur
chases outright.
The Commerce Department's bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce
probably will handle licensing details.
A proclamation to be- issued ' by the
President within a few days will out

you not only lower first cost but also a saving in use. Next time you
make cake, pastry, biscuits or cook fried foods, try VEGETOLE.

are buying. And after you have found out how satisfactory it is, you know how to gat
exactly the same thing again. For the quality never varies.

fitted on is virtually air-tight. The goodness is kept in and foreign odors kept out,
another indication of Armour thoroughness.
