be a patriotic thriller and bring
about the enlistment of many SOL

say that he fears the political
possibilities when "Teddy comes
marching home."
If Roosevelt's offer is accepted
he will have a completely organ
lied division of $4,000 trained men
at the front in four months. This
includes all branches of the
service. He has 100000 reserves

sitions for completely equipping
the division will be presented as
