ROOSEVELT CALLS
AT WHITE HOUSE
TO SEE PRESIDENT
Wants to Raise Army Divis-
ion for Immediate Service
at Front-Praises Viii
sons Address.

Washington, April 8. - Pro-
nouncing President Wilson's war
message ono Of tho greatest docu-
nents in American history and Of
ferins TO lead a fighting army d.
vision to Europe, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt called at the White
House this afternoon but missed
the president.
The visit was made between
trains with typical Rooseveltian
spontaneity and without the pre-
vious knowledge Of the president
who had just gone to tho executive
offices to attend a cabinet meet
ing.
The colonel swung up the barred
gates Of the White House grounds
in a big automobile accompanied
by his daughter, Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth.
ORDERS DISREGARDED.
In spite Of orders to the guards
at tho gates that no one should be
permitted to enter, the former
presidents teethy smile and famiI
lar oountenance caused the sur
prised guard to open the gates at
once and the coroneI's machine shot
up to the big White House portioo
with flourish.
The negro doorkeeper, startled
at seeing, Roosevelt appear so
suddenly, stepped briskly out to
the automobile, just too late to
assist the colonel and Mrs. Long
worth from busting out of the car.
The two walked to the double
glass front door, where they were
met by !. N. Hoover, head usher,
who hold the same position when
Roosevelt was in the executive
mansion. There were greetings
and then the colonel asked IL the
president was in.
CONVEYS CONGRATULATIONS.
Upon being told the president
had just left, the colonel expressed
his regrets and said he wished the
president should learn of his visit
and know that he called to convey
his congratulations for "that re-
markable state paper" The colonel
then left his card, as did Mrs.
Longworth.
Roosevelt was asked IL he could
not return later, but as he turned
and briskIy walked back to his ma
chino, no said he was en- route to
New York and had just stopped
off between trains.
Rooseveit's entire conversation
was carried on Immediately in
front of the door on the veranda.
He did not cross the threshold.
Russell J. Coles of DanviIIe, Va,
with whom Roosevelt has been
devil fish hunting, accompanied the
colonel and Mrs. Lonsworth TO
the White House.
The colonel later called at the
office of his close friend, Senator
Lodge, Of Massachusetts, Presunn-
ably to congratulate Lodge on the
outcome Of his battle yesterday
with paeifist.
From Lodges office Roosevelt
returned to the station and boarded
his train for New York.

-NlllOICI udhi, IA IL c' LllC
central powers are planning
4 new peace offer, the Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger stated this
afternoon.
There have been frequent and per-
sistent rumors lately that the Teutonic
powers were preparing to make anoth-
sr bid for peace. The nearest official
confirmation of these reports came
from Count Czernin. foreign minister
of Austria Hungary, who recently de-
clared the central powers desire for
peace was still open to acceptance.
Continental newspapers have continued
10 lay stress on the minister's state
IIents as indi eating likelihood of the
central powers making further conces-
sions in their peace talk. Vienna news
papers regarded Czernin's speech as a
plain proffer of peace"
IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.
The Lokal Anzeiger story today
comes at the same time that an impor-
tant conference is being held at the
German headquarters. Ostensibly the
meeting is to make the German EN-
press acquainted with the new empress
of Austria Hungary, but an unusual
noteworthy assembly of German and
Austrian officials are to be present
including the German and Austrian
emperors, Chancellor Bethmann- Holl-
veg, Foreign Minister Czernin and
others.
Conditions in Austria are known to
be grave and a. peace movement of
great strength has been gaining ground
there. The Austrian emperor has for
some time been reported personally to
favor peace. One story early in the
year declared he had sent a peace mes
sage to the vatican. Another separate
peace move was reported to .emanate
from Vienna after the success of the
Russian revolution.
EFFECT OF REVOLUTION.
Austria was probably more affected
than any other nation by the success
IF the democratic movement in Russia.
A revival of the peace talk occurred
Sunday, when announcement was made
in Vienna that American Ambassador
Penield was departing for three
months leave.

'T advise that the congress declare
the recent course o, the imperial Ger

less than war against the government
