with indications that the number
would be increased before announce

is normally Republican. Mr.. Gardeners
resignation did not create much sur
prise at the State House. as members
of the Legislature and others said they
heard several days ago that he con-
tcmplated such a step.
The candidates are: Winfred w.

ROOSEVELT DECIDES
Will Enter N. Y. Service If He
Cannot Go to France

Albany, ~ Y, May 16.-At the conclu-
sion of two hours conference today
with Governor Whitman, Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt announced that he would
accept the governors offer of a major
if the federal army bill were passed
without the provision to permit him to go
to Europe with an expeditionary force.
After Col. Roosevelt left town, Gov
Whitman explained that the state consti-
tuition gave him authority to appoint,
without confirmation by the Senate, a
major general of the state militia at any
time during the war emergency whea
the legislature was not in session. The
governor was careful to emphasize the
fact that if Mr.. Roosevelt were given a
commission as major general it would not
be in the national guard. but in the state
militia which is authorized by both fed
eral and state constitutions. The state
constitution provides that members of
militia shall consist of able-bodied men
residents of the state.
1t was assumed here that this section
could be construed to permit the enlist
nent of residents of other states who
came to New York for the express pur-
pose of serving under the former Presi-
dent and who for that purpose declared
themselves residents of New York

Lord Robert Explains

The necessity of thus voting down
the resolution was explained by Lord
Robert Cecil as a technicality. mas
much as it presented an amendment to
consolidated fund bill and expressions
of regret that the House should thus
be compelled seemingly to slight Rus
sian aspirations, were voiced by Lord
Robert, Former Premier Asquith and
others. who declared their sympathy
with Russia but deprecated the views
of the small body of pacifists moving
the resolution in such a manner as ne
cessitated its rejection.
Lord Robert Cecil on behalf OF the row
ernment and Mr.. Asquth were emphatic
in their statements that it was impos-
sible at the present stage to enter into
negotiations with Germany, and declar-
ed that the war aims of the Entente Al
lies as previously announced still held
good.
During his speech Lord Robert Cecil
read long account of the shocking treat
ment suffered by the natives in both Ger
man East Africa and German Yves, Ar
rica and said
IF there is any measure OF success In
the war, l should regard with horror the
idea of returning natives who have been
freed from government of that kind"
