PERISHING TO COMMAND
U. S. ARMY IN FRANCE

Washington, May 19.-United Sta
tes regular troops, led by Major Gen
eral Pershing will carry the Stars
and Stripes to the European battle
front.
Under orders from President Will
son, division of approximately 25,
900 troops will go to France as soon
as possible to cooperate with Bri-
fish and French forces.
President Wilson will not use the
authorization given him in the war
army bill signed by him last night to
permit Colonel Roosevelt to raise a
volunteer expedition for service in
France. In an announcement to this
effect, the president said that his &C
ton was based upon military advice
from both sides of the water.
Machinery for enrolling and sift
ing 100000 men and paving the
way for the selection of the first $780,,
900 men under the new army law,
based on the presidents proclama-
ton was set in motion by the war de-
partment today.
The proclamation calls on all men
between the ages of q and 80, inolu-
sive to register for military service
or June 5.
The drafted army will not be called
to the colors until about September
!, but by that time regular troops are
expected to be in action against the
Germans.
General Pershing and his staff will
go to Europe ahead of his troops at
as early a date as practicable.
General Pershing today automati-
cally was relieved of his command of
the southern department by the presi-
dent orders designating him to COM
mand the troops to be sent to Eu
rope. He is veteran of the Spanish
American war and led the American
expedition into Mexico last fall in
pursuit of Villa and his band of out
laws.
President Wilson expressed regret
that he could not employ volunteers
nor avail himself of the Sine vigor
and enthusiasm of Colonel Roosevelt
for the expedition" ITO do so,'' he
explained, would seriously interfere
with the carrying out of the chief and
most imediately important purpose
contemplated by the legislation, the
prompt creation and early use of an
effective army, and would contribute
practically nothing to the effective
strength of the armies now engaged
against Germany"
Officials declined today to comment
on the possibility that way would
be found for using Colonel Roosevelt's
service in another way. There was
talk to this effect in the army circles,
however.
