statement at thc White House:
Il shall not avail myself, at any
rate, az tie present stage Of the war,
Of the authorization conferred by the
net TO organize volunteer divisions.
"1'o do so would seriously interfere

Of an effective army would contribute
practically nothing to the effective

this act Which authorizes the creation
of volunteer divisions in addition to
the draft was added with view to
providing an independent command for
Mr. Roosevelt and giving the military
authorities IN opportunity to use his
fine vigor and enthusiasm recruiting
the forces now at the western front.
1T would he very agreeable TO me TO

public services and proved his gallan-

Seeks Advice From Both Sides.
"The business now in hand is I'M

command of trained soldiers only.
'The ISSUES involved are too inn
mense for me to take into consdera-
ton anything whatever except the
best. most effective, most immediate
means of military action. What these
means are know from the mouths OF
men who have seen war as it is con-

RUSSIA CLOSE TO ENGLAND
Foundation for Intimate Relationship
Laid by Royal Marriage In the
Eleventh Century.

Does Elihu Root know Russian? BY
no means. But the knowledge of Eng
lish is so widespread among the edu-
Gated classes of Russia that we begin to
understand the reports about the en-
thusiastic reception Of our ambassa-
doris eloquent address by his audiences
in Petrograd and Moscow, says an ex-
change.
There is not a notable play or novel
produced in London which Is not acted
or read in Russia.> The Russian in
tellegenzia~knowsn not only French and
German, but also English history and
literature thoroughly.
Glytha, the daughter Of King Har-
old who was slain at Hastings (1066)
through her marriage with the Rus
sian Prince of Tchernigoff laid the
first foundation to the close relation
ship between Great Britain and the en-
pire of the czars. The real English
"discoverer" of Russia is, Of course,
Richard Chancellor, who, through his
voyage to Moscow in 1853, established
solid commercial connections between
the two countries.
And why should we not be remind
ed, on this occasion, Of the interesting
fact that Peter the Greats mother was
brought up in Scottish household?
