Who Served With Roosevelt in War

New York, June 29.-On the first
call for volunteers for service in Mex.

der to the war department the serv.
ices of full army division, with the
request that he be allowed to lead it
as a major-general of volunteers.
In the recruiting of this force Col.
onel Roosevelt has been busy for the
last 10 days, through agents in this
city and in various parts of the coun
try, and it is declared on high author
itS that the plans are so completed
that mobilization of the division at a
given point can begin at two hours
notice, the plans for it's formation, its
officers and equipment having been
completed to the minutest detail some
weeks ago.
Division of Four Brigades.
AS outlined, the Roosevelt plan calls
for a division of four brigades, one
each of infantry and field artillery
and two of cavalry, to be differed by
men of the regular army or men who
have been actually in service. In ad
dition, it will have an aero squadron
a fully equipped hospital section, the
usual gun division and an engineer.
ing corps.
The decision of Colonel Roosevelt
to take this step was reached, 1t is
understood, ten days ago when the
President decided to call out the ma
tional guard for service on the Dor
der or in Mexico. Previous to that
time his mail had for weeks been
filled with offers of service from mer
who served with him in the war with
Spain, from former regulars and 9th
ers anxious to enlist under his com
mand
Spanish War Veterans Ready.
The bulk of these offers came from
individuals, but in many cases whole
camps of Spanish War veterans asked
to be enrolled as possible recruits anC
in other cases groups of former regu
lar army men, some of them men who
had held commissions, asked the same
privilege.

of the plans for mobilization for Z

to the deserter, were behind Villa dur

Support Of Republican Nominee

Chicago, June 27.-By vote of 80
to 6, with nine members declining to
vote, the national committee of the
Progressive party, at the end of a
stormy session, Endorsed Charles E.
Hughes for president, and the Bull
Moose party practically went out of
existence as a national political or
ganization.
In his letter, lengthy denunciation
of the democratic administration read
by Oscar King Davis, secretary of the
committee, Colonel Roosevelt declared
he would actively support Hughes and
gave detailed reasons, based largely
on the necessity for patriotic Ameri-
caniSm.
Committee Divided.
The progressive committee was
sharply divided when it met. One fac
ton, led by Captain John M Parker of
Louisiana, the progressive vice presi-
Dental nominee, advocated continu-
ance of the party organization regard
less of the colonel's stand. Another,
led by George w. Perkins, sought to
win the committee to Roosevelt
views.
Colonel Roosevelt's letter in part
follows:
MIR. Hughes has shown in his career
the instinct of efficiency which will
guarantee that, under him, the govern
ment will once more work with vigor
and force. He possesses that habit of
straightforward thinking which means
that his words will be correlated with
his needs and translated into facts.
His past career is the warrant for our
belief that he will be the unfaltering
opponent of that system of invisible
government which finds expression in
the domination of the party boss and
the party machine. His past career is
guarantee that whatever he says be,
fore election will be made good by his
acts after election. Morally, his pub
lie record shows him to be man of
unbending integrity; intellectually, it
shows him to be man of original and
trained ability We have the alterna,
tive of continuing in Office an admins,
tration which has proved lamentable
failure, or of putting into office an ad.
ministration which we have every rea-
son to believe will function with eff
cheney for the interest and honor of all
our people. l earnestly bespeak from
my fellow progressives their ungrudg-
ing support of Mr.. Hughes.

Avowal Of Hostile Act.
The government of the United
States can put no other construction
upon the communication handed to

under instruction of your government,
than that it is intended as a formal

sition in pursuance OF the objects for
which they were sent there, notwith,
standing the fact that those objects

ton towards the government and PEG.

government to demand the immediate
release Of the prisoners taken in the
