Objects to Provision Ex empting Retii ed Officers From Discipline, Duty. MEASURE REINTRODUCED Bitter Conference Fight U Expected (hi New llill Drafted by chairman Hay, with Keference to Articles of War Eliminated Veto Holds Up Big Appropriation. WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. Wil9on has sent a message to congress veto ing the army appropriation bill. He objects to the provision exempting retired ofricers from discipline and duty under the articles of war. Wil son declared such exemption was un constitutional. The message said: "With genuine reluctance the president returns the I ill which wisely and generously pro vides for national defense. The exist ing articles of war are undoubtedly archaic. They have not undergone revision for over a hundred years. Therefore the president more keenly : regrets he is unable to give his ap proval to this revision of the articles of war." He declared the retired officers are, not mere pensioners He upholds the president's right to summon them to, duty in emergencies. The veto holds up the two hundred , and seven million dollar appropria tion and delays the general military1 r eorganization. An hour after the veto was receiv- ed Chairman Hay of the house mili tary committee again introduced the bill, eliminating reference to the ar-, tieles of war. A bitter conference iht is expected on the new bill. BIG STORM IS HEADING FOR GULF CITIES DALLAS, Aug. 18. The gulf hurrl cans hit the coast at two o'clock.
