New York. May 21. (I. N. S.)
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, In a state
" ment Sunday night, called on the men
who had volunteered for hl proposed
division In France to disband Immedi
ately. Ho advised them to get to the
front in the beat way they could. H
they are unable to aecure places m

and various others who were Immedi

mously that, In view of the decision of
the president, the only course open to
us Is forthwith to disband and abandon
all further effort in connection with
the division.
Iffuat loyally Obey Decision.
"As good American citizens, we
lovaJlv obr tha decision of the com-
mander-in-chlef of the American army
and navy. The men who have volun
teered will now consider themselves
absolved from all further connection
with thia movement. The funds that
had been accepted, tha various unit
of tha tirst division would tomorrow
begin to assemble at whatever points
the war department indicated, sod they
would have assembled in full force
and without an hour's delay, and as
rapidly as the war department direct-
ed them to go, and as soon jas it pro
vided them with tents, blankets and
camping places, and we were prepared
by the use of private funds, partly to
make good any Immediate lack of any
such supplies as regards many of the
units.
About Xalf Bed Seem Service.
"Fifteen days afterward the second
division would have mobilized in simi
lar fashion and then at intervals of
30 days the other divisions, in accord
ance with what I had found to be the
wish of our allies, would have been
ready to sail for France for, intensive
training back of the theatre of war, if
the war department were able to fur
nish supplies, and we would have
asked permission to use the rifles and
ammunition now in use in the French
and British armies. All four divisions
would have sailed and two would have
been on the firing line by September
1. the time at which the aecretary of
war has announced the assembling of
the selective draft army is to begin.
"About half of our men, at least of
those in the first division, were men
who already had seen military service.
Denies Desire to Command.
"I wish respectfully to point out
certain errors in which the president
has been led in his announcement. He
states that the purpose was to give
me an 'independent command.' In my
last letter to the secretary of war, I
explicitly stated that if I were given
permission to raise an army corps of
two, divisions to be put under the com
mand of some general like Leonard
Wood, Barry, Pershing or Kuhn, I de
sired for myself only the position of
junior among the eight brigade com
manders. I would not have been 'in
dependent.' I -would have been pre
cisely in the same position as the
other brigade commanders, except in
that I would have ranked after, and
been subordinate to, the rest of them.
"The president alludes to our pro
posed action as one that would have
an effect 'politically.' but as not con
tributing to the 'success of the war.'
and as representing "a policy of per
sonal gratification or advantage.'
Volltlcg Wot Considered.
"I wish respectfully Cut emphatic
ally to deny that any political consid
eration whatever, or any desire for per
sonal gratification or advantage, en
tered into our calculations. Our undi
vided purpose was to contribute effect
ively to the success of the war.
know nothing of the politics of'the im
mense majority of the men who came
forward, and thost whose politics I do
know numbered as many Democrats as
Republicans! My purpose was to en
able the government to use as an in
valuable military asset the men who
would not be reached under the select
ive draft, who were fit for immediate
service and the great majority of whom
would not otherwise have been used
at all.
"The president says In effect that
to comply with our offer would be
mischievous from a military stand
point and he adds that the regular of
ficers whom I asked to have associated
with me are 'some of the moat effect
ive officers of the regular army.' who,
'cannot possibly be spared' from the
duty of training troops.'
Taking of Officers Defended.
"One of the chief qualifications for
military command is to choose for
one's associates and subordinates the
most effective officers and this quail-

Washington. May II. (I. N. 8.)
Henry p. Davidson, chairman ot the
war council of. the American Red
Cross, announced Sunday that Judge
Robert S. Lovett, formerly of Texas
but now of New Tork, and chairman
of the board of the Union Pacific
railroad, has volunteered to give prao
tically the whole of. his time during
the war to any work- to which he may
be assigned by the Red Cross.
"X am too old to go to the front,"
Judge Lovett told Mr. Davison, "but
I am anxious to do my bit in. whatever
way I can be made useful."
lax. Bavlson Makes Statement.
Mr., Davison authorised this state
ment: ;
"Judge Lovett's offer of service Is
the most inspiring event of a very
active week at Red Cross headquarters.
He is the man whom Mr. Harriman
picked out as his successor to run the
Union Paclfio railroad. Now he comes
forward to place 'his broad experience
and sound Judgment at the disposal ot
the Red Cross in this war.
"It is singularly in keeping with
the stupendous things which the Red
Cross is already being called upon
to do and Is planning to do, not only
to relieve suffering but to help to
win this war, that big men of affairs
like Judge Lovett should feel it t
be worth their while to place them
selves thus unreservedly at the na
tion's service.
Comes at Tortunate Moment.
"Judge Lovett's offer comes at a
peculiarly fortunate moment, for it
will make immediately possible the
creation of a new agency, the need ot
which has become very pressing.
"The experience of the countries at
war in Europe has shown the vast im
port anc at the very outset of econ
omising effort ' of every description
and avoiding the mistakes of some of
the countries in Europe of making a
great deal of effort of a kind which
was not needed and of failing to do
other things, the very failure to do
which became the cause of subsequent
misfortune and distress.
Asked te Visit waskiagtom.
"We shall, therefore, make immedi
ate use of Judge Lovett's servlbes and
ask him to accept this week the chair
manship of a national committee on
cooperation to prevent duplication and
waste in all activities of relief and
alleviation growing out of the war.
"That no Ume may be lost in the
organisation and planning of the work
of this committee. I have asked Judge
Lovett to ootne to Washington, Mon
day, for a preliminary conference, and
I have asked the following other gen
tlemen to join us in that conference

Expedition Called Compromise.
"The Broklyn Fagle last evening
stated authoritatively that the sending
fit this expedition was 'a compromise
between the original plans of the gen
eral staff, which favored no early ex
pedition, and the request of Colonel
Roosevelt for authority for an im
mediate expedition. The Roosevelt
agitation, backed by expressed desire
of Such distinguished leaders as Mar
shal Joffre and General Petaln, un
questionably had Its effect In bring
ing about the Pershing; expedition. The
.compromise is that France gets Amer
. lean soldiers in the trenches, but Roose
velt will not lead or accompany them.
It is believed in-Washington that any
criticism for turning down Roosevelt
will be fully answered by the fact that
American soldiers are going over.'
"If this gives the explantlon of the
matter, I gladly say that we are all
unselfishly glad to have served thia
use, though naturally we regret not
! Having been allowed ourselves to ren
der active service.
"It is due to the men who have come
forward in this manner during the
: three and one half months since Feb
ruary i, when I began the work of
raising one or more divisions, that the
following facts should be known:
"If yesterday my offer immediately

end the pending measure has 76. This,
it is stated, "Indicates that both the
necessity and the demand for new im
provements are gradually diminishing;.
Torelgn Improvements Cited.
An interesting part of the report
deals with information as to how some
of the other nations engaged in war
are dealing with waterway improve

began, has taken up the building of a
harbor in the western part or tne city,
at a cost of .over $9,000,000, after
snenJing $8,000,000 for a harbor in
the eastern part of the city. Berlin is

no findings in. connection with the com
mercial lighting rates.
The nurses were sitting in deck chairs,
watching the target, which was a long
distance away. We saw the shell strike
the water at a great distance from he
ship. Immediaely afterward Miss Mat

SEVERAL CHANGES IN
CASH APPORTIONMENT
APPEAR IN NEW BILL
Washington, May 21. Several
changes and modifications in Oregon
end northwest appropriations appear
in the new river and harbor bill, in
addition to the striking out of $976
000 for continuing improvement at the
mouth of the Columbia river, upon
statements by army engineers that this
work can be carried forward on the
balance remaining from former ap
proprlatlons.
Most of the other changes are not
of large moment, so far as expend!
ture is concerned. The new bill is
favorable on the survey side, as it
contains authorization tor all the sur
veys which were reported on both the
house and senate sides at the last
session, when the bill failed to pass.
Among the most Important of the
surveys directed are those for the
lower Columbia and Younga bay. to
afford a depth of 40 feet; for the Co
lumbia between Brookfleld and the
sea, with a view to securing a depth
of 80 feet, and for the Columbia
above the mouth of the Willamette to
Vaucouver, with a view to a project
equaling In depth the channel be
tween Portland and the. Willamette's
mouth.
The other surveys are for Hayden
slough, to consider relocation of dike;
Willamette slough, to secure a report
on removal of obstructions, and Tilla
mook bay and Hoquarten slough, to
secure a report on the beat channel
from the entrance to Tillamook.
me items contained in, the bill of
last session have been switched around
and placed in group formation in the
new bill in such way that exact com
parison is difficult. For example, in
th new bill appears the following
paragrapn:
Appropriations Are Lumped.
"Coqullle, Coos, Sluslaw and Ta
qulna rivers, Coos, Tillamook and Ne
halem bays, Oregon: For maintenance.
$34,000; : continuing improvement of
channel over the bar at Coos bay, $70,
000; in all. $104,000."
In the last bill there was an Itemiza
tion of $80,000 for Coos bay: $5000
for Tillamook bay and bar at Bay City,
which the senate raised to $13,000 to
extend the work to Tillamook; $$000
for Coos river, $3000 for Sluslaw river
and $3000 for Yaquina river. The to
tal of these items is $9S,000, or $104.
