ROOSEVELT GIVES
HIS REASONS FOR
VOLUNTEER CORPS
Firmly for Universal Service
His Division Would Only
Supplement II, He Says.

Col. Roosevelt struck back to-day
at those who have been using his
plan for raising division OF troops
as an argument against obligatory
service. He reiterated strongly his
demand for universal obligatory serv-
ice coupled with a plea that while
this compulsory system was being
made operative volunteer force be
sent abroad.
"1 do not want to be put In the
position OF saying TO my fellow coun-
trymon. Go 90 tho war;" he declared.
81 want 10 be in the position OF soy-
ing Come to the war; am going
with you.'
'T wish wo already had universal
military training in this country.
But we are as Great Britain was
when tho war broke out. She had
disregarded Lord Robertss advice 20
was very wrong In doing that
Put it would have been n capital
mistake N when tho war broke out
she had declined TO send a small
military expedition at once 20 BEL
glum, and had refused to accept vol
untccrs from Canada and Australia
on the plea that sho then intended
TO do nothing except In accordance
with tho theory OF obligatory mill
tary service,
with all my heart approve OF the
Presidents plan for universal obliga-
tory servicc-both for tho present war
and as our permanent policy. This
plan will give US the army wo must
have eighteen months hence. But wo
ought TO treat as n necessary supple
ment to this plan the utilizing of vol
untoers who would not he reached
under the obligatory plan-who will
not and ought not TO be asked TO vol
unteer In the regular army or tho Ma
tional Guard; but who have special
fitness for the war arr who will como
forward eagerly 20 serve II they arc
TO be sent abroad at the earliest pos
sible minute.
"The obligatory service idea is cap
ital to make those serve who ought
to do something. and wo ought not to
let II be twisted into preventing those
who Ardently desire 10 serve from
serving--even although they would
be exempt from serving under the
obligatory law"
The Colonel was asked how he felt
toward Germany.
81 am utterly against any Hymn OF
Hate In this country as against any
nationality" no exclaimed. Let us
have our hymn OF hate against that
system of organized tyranny which
| has made Germany menace TO the
world--as n sequence OF Itself becom-
ing the evil genius OF what was best
and noblest IN the German character.
We are fighting In the spirit OF An
dreas Hofer and OF those Germans
who led the fight against the tyranny
OF Napolconic France-when we now
rally the free peoples OF the world
against tyrannous mllltarism. which
would destroy all freedom.
once we have destroyed that
tyranny We shall hail the Germans
as our brothers and we shall eagerly
hope TO admit them to the fellow
