Rooseueh Is Rebuked By the President

officers of the regular army. He named many of those whom he would desire to have designated for the ser vice, and they were men who cannot possibly be spared from the too small force of officers at our command for the much more pressing and neces- sary duty of training regular troops to be put into the field in France and Belgium as fast as they can be gotten ready.
 The first troops sent to France will be taken from the present forces of the regular amy and will be under the command of trained soldiers only.
 Issues Too Immense
 "The responsibility for the success full conduct of our own part in this great war rests upon me could not escape it if I would. I am too much interested in the cause we are fight ing for to be interested in anything but success. The issues involved are too immense for me to take into con sideration anything whatever except the best, most effective. most imme- diate means of military action. What these means are men have seen war as it is now conducted, who have no Illusions, and to whom the whole. grim matter of business. I shall cen ter my attention upon those means and let everything else wait.
 q should be deeply to blame should I do otherwise, whatever the argu- ment of policy for personal gratifi- cation or advantage"

q understand that the section of this act which authorizes the crea- tion of volunteer divisions in addi- tion to the draft was added with a view of providing an independent command for MT Roosevelt and giv- ing the military authority an oppor- tunity to use his fine vigor and enthu- siasm in recruiting the forces now at western front
 Wilson Speaks Plainly
 "It would be very agreeable to me to pay Mr. Roosevelt this compliment and the allies the compliment of send ing to their aid one of our most dis tinguished public men, an ex-presir dent who has rendered many con- spicuous public services and proved his gallantry in many striking ways. Politically too. it would no doubt have a very fine effect and make a profound impression. But this is not the time or the occasion for compli- ment or for any action not calculated to contribute to the immediate sue cess of the war. The business in hand now is undramatic. practical and of scientific defniteness and preci- sion. shall act with regard to it at every step and in every particular under expert and personal advice from both sides of the water.
 Wanted Too Much
 That advice is that the men most needed are men of the ages contem- plated in the draft provision of the present bill. not men of the age and sort contemplated in the bill which authorizes the formation of volun7 teer units, and that for the prelim- mary training of the men who are to be drafted We shall need all of our experienced officers.
