 KANSAS CITY, Sept. Colonel Roosevelt today, for the first time since the war began, made cau$tic comment on the fact that he was not allowed to recruit his special di- vision and take it to Europe. The occasion was Roosevelt'S arrival here to take d position on the editorial staff of the Kansas City Star. Roos C. velt and General Leonard Wood were the speakers at big mass meeting here tonight.
 This is a very exclusive war, said the colonel. AS far as am immediately concerned. I was black balled by the committee on admis- sion and was given a golden quill which was to remind me that the pen is mightier than the sword AS for me, would rather have the sword"
 Touching upon the war, General Wood said "It is utterly foolish to say that America can win the war in the air or with chemical devices. The war can be won only with men and by making sacrifices"
 General Wood was the guest of Roosevelt at luncheon here today.

100000 WOMEN TO
AID FOOD SAVING
Hundred Thousand Additional
Added to Rolls of Con-
servation Forces

Reports coming TO the Penn
sylvania Committee of Public Safety
from the food administration show
that more than 100000 Pennsylvania
women have pledged themselves dur
ing the past few weeks to aid in the
conservation of food. This brings the
total past 100000 and it is almost
certain that the million mark will
be exceeded. .-
Those who have the pledge card
campaign in charge say that the
great need of food in France is one
of the dominant reasons given by
the women of PENNSYLVANIA for as
sisting Mr.. Hoover. There is real
desire to make sacrifices, II neces-
sary. in order that France shall not
go hungry.
The demand that war is making
upon the resources of the sister re-
public is pathetically shown in stat
istics Just received by the Commit
tee of Public Safety.
In 1913. the year before the great
conflict opened. France produced
146,000.000 bushels of wheat. In
1914 this had dropped to l2S,0OO,OO0
bushels. In 1915 only 100000
bushels could be raised and in 1916
the output was 100000 bushels.
This year the production OF wheat
was pitifully small, only 66,OOO,OOO
bushels.
France has sent word that if the
United States can spare her an ad-
ditional 66,0OO,OO0 bushels she will
somehow manage to get through the
year.
1t is to this end that the women of
Pennsylvania are cutting down in the
use of wheat flour and are avoiding
all waste.
