 Colonel Roosevelfs remarks were contained in a statement It read as follows:
 Nearly three weeks ago it was an- nounesd in the public press. the state ment being carried prominently in ev- cry big newspaper. that in addition. to President Wilson and Secretary Garrison some scores of private cit tzens had been asked to 20 to the Plattsburg camp where if was expect Among the names mentioned in addi- ton to my own were those Of former President Taft Samuel Compers and John Mitchell It is of course fmpos-' sible that Secretary Garrison can have been ignorant that we were asked notify us in advance what we were expected to say or leave unsaid 1t was clearly his duty to direct the gem era1 accordingly.
 When the war department after three weeks public notice. made no objection to my coming. they stopped themselves from any right to cT4d- cize General Wood because was com ing or because I did not submit my speech in advance to the administra- ton for approval I am, of course, solely responsible for that speech and
 
 more idea than Secretary Garrison what I was going to say. In the speech not only did I never mention the pres ident, but never mentioned the ad- minfstration spoke purely Of the nation: of the people of the United States.
 T spoke on the assumption that the men who paid their expenses in order to go to this camp were citizens deep ly interested in the welfare Of their country: men who know that the greatest value of this camp Hes not in the months training to each Of the two or three thousand college students and business men, but in the object lesson afforded in teaching our people what this nation should do for her sons by teaching them in time Of peace how to do their duty by the nation in time of wal.
 If the administration had displayed one-tenth the spirit and energy in holding Germany and Mexico to &C., count for the murder of American men, women and children. that 1t is now displaying In the endeavor to the need of preparations to prevent the repetition of such murders in the future, 1t would be rendering a ser- vice to the people Of this country.
 General Wood issued orders that attendance at my speech was not re- al to come or not; orderB which at once established the fact that he had no responsibility for the speech It was delivered outside the fine of tents. and one-haR the audience was made up of men and women from the sur rounding country.
