Says New Yrok World

NEW YORK, May 16.-Charging
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's volunteer
army is a mere paper force" the New
York World today published the result
of an investigation which it says has
been conducted. in all sections of the
country with a view to finding out
the true strength of a probable volun-
teer force under the former president.
The Worlds investigation. it was
stated, was carried on in districts where
$4,000 troops were TO be raised, and IN
most cases, it found only tenders Of
men and not actual enrollments. 1t
was found that 1,175 men were actually
enrolled for service, with $3.50 on> the
doubtful list, and 25,4O7 yet to be
enrolled.
Captain william f. Dame, recruiting
officer I'm charge of organization for
the Roosevelt division, told the World,
1t is stated, that the impression that
the division already is recruited is a
mistake Only tenders of service have,
for the most part, been received, he

Onions and Potatoes
Only Army Purchases
OF Fresh Farm Produce

The only articles Of fresh farm pro-
duce to be purchased through the AT
lanta quartermaster's depot by the
United States government will be onions
and potatoes, according to a statement
issued by Major r. b. Powers, depot
quartermaster, and these will be pro-
cured through competition by circular
advertisements sent to persons or firms
who would probably bid on them.
This statement is issued by Major
Powers in order TO clear up a misun-
derstanding. II having been reported
that this depot was going TO purchase
large quantities of all kinds of farm
products.
The statement suggests. however
that the farmers by pooling their onions
and potatoes and appointing a repre-
sentative to compete with these firms
will be able I'm that way to dispose OF
them to the government. 1t also states
that il may be possible to sell other
produce direct to company command

U. S. VOLUNTEERS WANTED
AT ONCE BY GEN. PETAIN
Need of Officers in France
Specially Urgent-DeSCribeS
Methods of Training

NEW YORK, May 16-General Pc
tain, new commander of the French ar
my, appeals for American volunteers to
be sent abroad Immediately in an in
terview with Whitney Warren, noted ar
chitect published by the New York
Times today
Asking for volunteers at once Petain
says:
These volunteers would at first be
organized with French units, but stirl
respecting the autonomy of America.
1t is understood that it is a moral ne
cessity that they fight under their own
flag, but there is also necessity for a
period of transition or instruction when
quicker and better results could be OBJ
tanned by the above method"
Petain points out that these volun-
teer units could later be used as skele-
ton organizations for the bigger Amer
lean armies.
The foundation of American volun-
teeer units" he said, will comprise two
periods. First. constitution and equip
ment in America; second, intensive in
struction in France The construction
and formation of officers Is all-im por-
tant. and is especially what was lack
ing in the case of the English. officers
should be very numerous enough for
at least one hundred divisions. They
should be taken from your regular army
or militia from among regular soldiers
and young men who have a certain
amount of education. Send at once as
many colonels majors and captains as
possible to be- stationed with the French
officers at the front"
Petain expressed confidence in Amer
ica's ability for the "herculean effort
of raising and equipping big army by
selective service and said this huge
army must be trained both at home and
behind the lines.

"A Stacker Congress-

Idea of National Body

NEW YORK. May 16.-Under the
heading, "A Stacker Congress" the New
York World today said editorially:
Congress is the one branch of the
government which has broken down m
the war and failed of it's duty.
Although the declaration of a state of
war was adopted April 6, the United
States is still without military estab-
lisment, thanks to the folly of congress.
- 1t is anything but a pleasant spec
tacle, and If there is any leadership left
in congress it cannot assert itself too
soon. Otherwise the American people
will find themselves with a broken down
government in the midst of the most
calamitous war known to history"
