Roosevelt is the only man in

The Roosevelt headquarters here
will remain open just as long as the
European war lasts, Capt. William e.

said. According to Capt. Dame, 5.110

TON TO CONTROL THE

BALKAN STATES NOT FITTED
Confidence in Stricken People Re-
sponsibIe for Great Trust to Be
lmposed-Also as Reccmpense
for Ravished Land.

Paris, France.-Belgium's flag to
fly over Constantinople and Belgians
to control the Dardanelles, is the al
lies revised war aim respecting Tur-
key.
On high authority 1t can be stated
this change in program has been
thoroughly discussed in high official
circles of the allied governments.
Since new Russia renounced old
Russia's dream of dominating the
tsraits, change In the Turkish prob
lem has been forced on the allies.
None of the entente powers will think
of leaving the Turk still in Europe.
To grant arbitrary control of the most
important waterway in Europe to any
of the worlds great nations might
engender jealousy and endanger the
world peace for which the allies are
fighting.
To hand Constantinople and the
Bosphorus over to any one of the
Balkan nations would keep the fu-
ture worlds police force busy restor-
ing order. Diplomatists here have
long believed that the attitude Of
Bulgaria and Greece may be traced
to Russia's desire to dominate the
Black Sea entry and the Balkans.
When the new Russia therefore
announced It's disapproval Of such a
plan. the chancellories of Europe all
asked themselves the same question
who will hold the key to the Bos-
phorus?
That key, it was learned. is most
LikEly destined to the keeping of King
Albert's little nation-a reward. for
the terrible sacrifice of the kingdom
and an acknowledgment by the allies
that Belgium can be trusted to keep
the faith.

according to the results Of expert
ments now being carried on by the

In seeking cereals to relieve the

that the food and commercial value
of barley made It advisable to begin
research along lines that would con-
serve the barley industry OF Wiscon-

about economical results for the

Truck Drivers Volunteer by
Thousands for Service.

New York.-Col. Theodore Roosevelt
VIII have at least half a million men
from which to choose a division, or
four divisions. of volunteers to go with
him to France, according to the belief
of those who have watched the appIi-
cations. which have been pouring in
at the Roosevelt division headquarters
and to Col. Roosevelt personally. A
week ago there were only about 200,-
900, but the mail for the last four days
of last week brought 1900 new appIi-
cations and they were made in the
face OF reported opposition from Wash
ington
Now that congress has set it's seal
of approval on the project, it is sup
posed that applications to Join the
volunteer army will go with rush.
1t is fully expected that tens of thou
sands will be heard from within the
next few days.
Among the many applications which
came In last week was one from Col.
Thomas L. Lanard. colonel OF the State
Fencibles of Philadelphia. Col. Lam
ard stated that after a meeting Of the
regiment he was authorized to offer IT.
complete. fully equipped. to Col. RooseA
Welt. to go with him to France. Col.
I.anard said that there were LOO
men in the regiment, that 1t was ord
ganized in 1913 and was not subject
to call for federal service. IT 10
strictly a city regiment and subject
only to the call of the mayor of Phila-
delphia.
Col. Lanard at the same time offered
the regiments armory In Philadelphia
for any use Col. Roosevelt might wish
to make of it. The Fencibles have
won many trophies at competitive
drills throughout the country.
A telegram came from man in Ore
gon Offering full regiment and giving
a long list of banks and prominent
individuals as reference as to his
trustworthiness and ability to make
his offer good. G aptain Lane replied
that Col. Roosevelt could not accept
any regiment as such from any single
state. but would be glad to have the
framework Of q regiment to be filled
out with men from other localities.
From Detroit letter came Offering
the services Of at least 1000 automo-
bile truck drivers, who have seen serv-
ice on the Mexican border and in
many instances have seen service in
