That a most critical situation con-

from the committee of the radical
military measure which bears his
name within the next few days is tin-
openly expressed opinion of the line

The entire lighting branch of the
army is aroused In opposition to the
pending legislation, but the adroit
move of Mr. Hay in attaching the
measure as a to the
bill confines the battle
ground to committee room, and
the opponents of the measure, being
soldiers, recognize the strategic
strength of the enemy's position.
It is pointed out by the army of-
that every section of the bill
one is so drawn that it comes
under the Holman rule, which
vents a point of order being raised

effective attack on the of the

The more important sections of the
Hay bill provides for the increasing
of the term of from three
to five years; the cutting off of in-
creased pay for foreign service; the
consolidation of the quartermaster's
