Presidents Statement.

The president issued the following
statement at the White House:
81 shall not avail myself, at any
rate, ut the present stage of the war,
of the authorization conferred by the
act to organize volunteer divisions.
''To do so would seriously interfere
with the carrying out of the chief and
most Immediately important purpose
contemplated by this legislation:
THE prompt creation and early use
of an effective army would contribute
practically nothing to the effective
strength of the armies now engaged
against Germany.

this net which authorizes the creation
of volunteer divisions in addition to
the draft was added with II view to
providing IN Independent command for
Mr.. Roosevelt and giving the military
authorities an opportunity to use his
fine vigor and enthusiasm recruiting
the forces now at the western front.
