ACTING ON BEST

Every Officer Available Is

of New Army
(RY Associated Press.l

Washington, May 19.-Col. Roose-
welt will not be permitted to raise his
volunteer expedition to carry the
American flag against the Germans in
France.
On signing the war army bill last
night President Wilson issued a
statement saying that acting under
expert advice from both sides of the
water, he would be unable to avail
himself at the present stage of the
war Of the authorization to organize
volunteer divisions.
There was talk in army circles last
night Of the possibility that a way
presidents services in another way,
but official comment was lacking.
No time For Compliments.
The presidents statement follows:
"It would be very agreeable to me
to paw Mr.. Roosevelt this compliment
and the allies the complainant Of send
ing to their aid one OF our most dis
tinguished public men, an ex-president
who has rendered many conspicuous
public services Gnd proved his gall
lantpy In many Striking ways. Politi-
cally, too, 1t would no doubt have a
very fine effect and make a profound
impression. But this is not the time
or the occasion for compliment or for
any action not calculated to contribute
to the immediate success OF the war.
"The business now in hand is un-
dramatic, practical and of scientific
definiteness and precision. / shall act
with regard to 1t at every step and in
every particular under expert and pro-
fessional advice from both sides Of
the water"
THAT advice is that the men most
needed are men of the ages contem-
plated in the draft provision of the
present bill, not men Of the age and
sort contemplated in the section which
authorizes the formation Of volunteer
units and that for the preliminary
training of the men who are to be
drafted we shall need all Of our ex-
perienced officers.
Wanted Best Officers.
"Mr. Roosevelt told me, when / had
the pleasure of seeing him few weeks
ago that he would wish to have as
ISOLATED with him some Of the most
effective officers of the regular army.
He named many Of those whom he
would desire to have designated Tor
the service, and they were men who
cannot possibly be spared from the
too small force OF officers at our COM
mand for the much more pressing and
necessary duty of training regular
troops to be put into the field in France
and Belgium as fast as they can be
got ready,
"The responsibility for the success

great war rests upon me. could not
escape 1t IL ! would. am too much
interested in the cause we are hghting
for to be interested in anything but
success. The issues involved are too
immense for me to take into consider
alton anything whatever except the

FEWER MEN OF
MILITARY AGE THAN
SEVEN YEARS AGO.

If the select service" bill had
passed congress on April 15, 1910,
there would have been 1912 moro
men between the ages Of 81 and 30
years, inclusive, available for
service, than there are now.
Figures obtained at the federal
building in Fargo this afternoon
show that the number Of men by
actual count in North Dakota be-
tween the ages of II and 80 years
in 1910 was 67,112 compared with
the estimate for July 1, 1917, which
Director Sam L. Rogers of the
bureau OF census places at $4,000.
The reverse conditions would
have been found in such states as
South Dakota, Minnesota and
Montana. The men between these
ages in Minnesota by actual count,
April Is, 1910 numbered 219,6SS
compared with 244,706 for the July
/ estimate; South Dakota had 65,-
563 in 1910 compared with the esti-
mate OF July of $4,000, and

Why France Survives.
"One reason why the government OF

The speaker explained that the
liberty bonds were exempt from all

A MAD ENTERPRISE

, The authorities at Washington re-
fused this week to change the name
of Mt. Rainier to mt. Tacoma and
long campaign involving a great
amount of labor and time thus met
disappointing end. No great good
would have been accomplished by
changing the name, although the
Tacoma boosters thought they saw
tremendous possibilities if they could
bring it about; Tacoma wouldn't
have expanded an inch, nor would the
peak have been more glorious.
