COMMISSION FOR
ROOSEVELT TOBE
BROUGHT UP AGAIN

The whole question OF giving Colo
army and sending him to France is
expected to be raised once more.
Announcement that Governor Nc
Call of Massachusetts, and other New
England governors will ask Secretary
Baker to have the aid OF Roosevelt
in recruiting the skeletonized divis-
ion OF the New England guard in
camp at westfield, Is accepted in
military circles here as meaning that
another effort will be made to have
the former President made a general
officer, probably a major general. to
command the New England division
when II is recruited.
On the surface, the governors are
simply going to ask the War Depart
ment to be allowed TO secure the as
sistanee Of Colonel Roosevelt in re-
cruiting.
wIsh for Service.
But back Of that, according to gos-
sip, is the wish of some Of the friends
Of Colonel Roosevelt to see him in
active service in the field and at the
front in France.
1t Is not known here what view
Colonel Roosevelt himself will take
OF the matter. 1t is assumed the New
England governors would not 20 to

been sounded out as to his willing

ticles, which have been widely syn
dicated, Colonel Roosevelt has lam
basted the War Department for de-
lays and has been especially severe
on the Ordnance Bureau, headed by
General Crozier.
Chance to Curb.
This fact has caused speculation
here whether the administration would
not be well satisfied to see Roosevelt
in the army, wearing q uniform,
where he would be practically unable
to indulge in the severe criticisms
which have come from his pen.
1t was charged by Roosevelt's
friends, when he was turned down in
his request to raise volunteers for
France that II was due to politics
1t requires no imagination to perceive
that the new situation, which will
arise II the New England governors
press their proposition, Is likely to
give rise to more such talk should
their request be refused.
In connection with the criticisms
Of the Ordnance Bureau by Roosevelt,
It Is learned that areply to such criti-
cisms Is soon to be made General
Crozier Is preparing one. In form, 1t

that mo peace can rest securely upon

Of any sort or any kind Of revenge or
deliberate injury" The Economist says:
I'm other words the power which must
now be recognized as speaking with
the weightiest voice in the councils Of
the allies has brushed aside all the
utilities of the Paris conference and
shown US the way to a peace which
shall not be inaugurated by the raising
Of trade barriers all over the world, but
by real extension Of free trade and
Of cooperation between nations for the
material welfare Of mankind
in view of the scarcity of food and
raw materials that will face us when
the war is over, any measures that viii
