the rescue of humanity from the iron
grip of oppression.
Think what an inspiration it would
be to everyone in the Allied armies,
from field marshal to private, to know
that an ex-President of the United
States was fighting, shoulder to
shoulder with them, sharing their
perils and enduring their privations.
What other citizen of this or any
other country has offered so much?
Since the offer has been declined,
we must, OF course, submit to the in.
eyitable. not hamperiiYg the efforts OF
our commanderin-chief by any un-

"But although declined. the fact
remains that the offer was made in
good faith in patriotism and sincerity.
and if as now seems probable, this war
is long, continued, many general, re-
luctantly retiring before superior
numbers of the enemy, will sigh i'll
vain for the support that might have
been afforded by Rooseyelts gallant

declined let each American citizen

without thrill of honest pride at the
thought that we have in our midst
such leader as this, and 100000
patriots exempt from conscription,
who had such faith in that leader and
such devotion to the great cause that
they were willing to seal their pledge
of sincerity with the red blood of the

Personally, lift my hat in silent

1.-THE LEGION THAT NEVER WAS
LISTED"

Loren r. Pierce of South London
derry pays a deserved tribute to Theo-
dore Roosevelt in the Boston Journal.
it Is q national shame that Col. Roose-
welt was prevented by a jealous crowd
of southern Democratic politicians
from carrying the American flag to
the firing line in France. There was
an opportunity to make Americas
entrance into the war effective Nby
taking advantage of Col. Rooseyelt's
patriotic offer.
The war will be heightened and
thousands OF American lives sacrificed
because selfish politicians cared more
for their own party interests than for
q great psychological opportunity to
arouse the spirit and enthusiasm OF
the allies to a degree that would have
carried them far on the road to vic
tory. 1t was not the first serious
blunder of the war, but is the one
with the least excuse. Mr.. Pierce's
tribute to Roosevelt is as follows
War invariably develops heroes
and brings to the attention OF the
public greatness sometimes unspspect-
ed in times of peace.
in the tremendous emergency now
confronting the American people, all
who knew Col Roosevelt expected
great things OF him, but his recent
offer to raise four divisions for i'm.
mediate service on the battleficlds OF
Europe surpassed our most sanguine
expectations. Never before in the
history OF this country, probably
never before in the history Of the
world, has so magnificent an offer
been made to any country by any
citizen as Theodore Roosevelt has
made to our government. He has Of
fered to raise and equip without ex-
pense to the government an army
many times as large as the one win
which we conquered Mexico and
raised the American flag in triumph
over the halls of the Montezumas; an
army larger than any ever assembled
| in America since the Grand Review at
| the close of the Civil War an army
outnumbering by thousands the entire
hosts of the Blue and Grey that strug-
gled for supremacy at Gettysburg; an
army larger than all the legions,
French, English and Prussian, which
made history at Waterloo and changed
the map of Europe, an army which II
thrown into any of the Fifteen De
cisive Battles OF the World would
have decided the issue of the conflict
| with an unselfish devotion to the
| welfare of his country, and an eye
single to her interests, this man who
/ for seven years was recognized
| throughout the world as an able and
efficient commanderin-chief OF our
army and navy, was perfectly willing
| to serve in a subordinate capacity to
men who have been lifelong Students
of vars vast art, and was anxious to
cement for all time the friendship OF
our Allies by offering his life, If need
| be, on the altar of our common cause,
