ROOSEVELT PERSISTS.
Asks to Serve With His Division Under
United States General


New York, April Col. Theodore
Roosevelt issued a statement here last
night IN which he denied that 'fnwise
precedent" would be created, as has
been suggested, in permitting him to
raise a division for active service on
the French front.
The American people" asserted Col
onel Roosevelt, ARE united behind the
president in the determination to wage
effective. aggressive war for our rights
and for the rights Of humanity and CIV
ilization. I believe that our people now
realize that the system Of universal
military service is the only effective
and the only absolutely democratic
system
In addition, believe that the Amer
lean people desire that in the immedl-
ate future we send abroad an expedi-
tionary force. II is an excellent and
indispensable thing TO raise money for
and furnish supplies 10 our allies. This
of course must be done.
The American people wish 10 dc
their own fighting. They do not wish
merely 70 pay others to fight for them
They believe that we owe 1t 70 our
selves and to the national honor &c
send a fighting force of at least an
army corps, under the American flag
TO the front at the earliest moment
This army corps should be commanded
by one of our first class regular major
generals.
II have asked permission to raise a
division which would be in this army
&c ms n
unwise precedent can possibly be Gre
ated by permitting an ex-president OF
the United States Of previous military
experience to raise such a division and
to serve with it at the front under the
command of the general who heads the
army corps"

Cattle.
Supplies Of cattle proved Inadequate
Belief is strengthened now that since
the high spot has shot above even
money there will be no stopping of the
advance in prices for strictly choice
heavy steers. Kosher demand came
back strong in midweek and trade IN
this beef in the east IS bound to be big
for weeks ahead. Consumers are pc
coming accustomed TO the new h1gh
scale of prices, as evidenced by the
more serene situation N New YORK

April run promises to be the ltghtest
FOR this month in years past and like
wise the May and June supplies, ana
the trade will need only continuance OF
the present broad demand for beef 70
assure prices OF current phenomenal
strength and even better.
Tremendous war demands from our
own government and the allies are
bound to be had for months ahead, and
this prospect in view Of cattle shortage
is a distinct bullish argument, but the
matter Of governmental control OF food
nrices now agitated IN the national cap
ital must be given consideration by
,,roducers. Once the state Of war
declaration IS signed by the president
actual operations Of the government
win be out of the hands Of congress

Sheep.
Sheep offerings were not sufficient to
meet demands.
It has been an irregular market for
many sessions and buyers took advan :
taee OF Easter week. to help them out
in their bear.sh campaign in the face

the proposal that the president should
play prominent part in bringing the
warning nations to the council table
There is no intention that he shall act
as medlator--as the United States is
regarded as an enemy by Germany and
as having precisely the same status as
Great Britain, France, Italy, Russia
I'D Japan.
Basis of Peace Not Told.
No offers as a basis of peace are
said to be contained in the proposal.
Germany does not appear as one of
the responsible principals in urging
peace. She is, according to the state
ment of the president, in state of war
with this country, and formal procla-
nation to this effect will be made to-
morrow.
Therefore Germany has used her
ally to sound out the United States.
AS the proposal contains no guar
antees. according to the information in
the possession OF the authorities here.
it is not likely to be accepted by the
president or appeal to the govern
ments at London, Paris, Rome, Petro-
grad and Toxic.
Trick to Divide u. S. Seen.
The object of the proposal is be-
lieved to be that which has been APP
pretended for some time-division in

fact that the United States is at war
with Germany, the Teutonic govern
ments are hopeful of moving in such
