velt through Rudolph Foster, assist
ant secretary to the President, who
ia the acting private secretary in the
his vacation.
The President characterizes as er-
roneous contrary announcements
made earlier by Secretary Loeb and
Secretary of War Luke e. Wright.
The statement explains that the
President has not yet heard finally
from the Secretary of War as to the
latter's recommendation in the mat
ter and that therefore the national EX.
ecut1ve has reached no final dec on.
BY Secretary Loeb the President ha
been represented as approving the
dismissal of the cadets. Subsequent
", and following a conference with
Mr.. Roosevelt, Secretary Wright tod
the newspaper men that a decision to
reinstate the offending cadets had
been reached.
THE PRESIDENTS STATEMENT.
The statement issued by the Pres.
ident is as follows:
No action whatever has been taken
oy the President in the cases of tho
cadets. the statements that they were
originally ordered dismissed and that
hey had been ordered kept being
equally erroneous.
An appeal was originally made to
he President to interfere. He de-
sfined to take any action or to inter
5ero In any way until the Secretary
IT War had expressed his opinion,
The view of the department then be-
ng. seemingly, that the cadets should
oe turned out, but the Secretary not
having come to any final decision
fhe Secretary then notified the Presi-
tent that instead of making any re-
sort he would like to discuss the mat.
ar with the President in person. He
accordingly came, and this discussion
yas held. but no final decision was
reached, the Secretary stating that he
vas not able to make final and def
aite recommendation as to all the
sases, and preferred to make none as
rsgards any until he could do 1t as
Segards all.
