NEED NOT BOTHER THE PAST

Relating to the question as TO whcth-
er or not the public service commission
is required to make an investigation
of violations of law in the past when
such violations are no longer contin-
ued, the attorney general, in an opinion
handed down yesterday, says that the
commission is not required to investi-
gate. In this regard the attorney gen
eral says;
'The commission may, if it so de-
sires, grant to any one who files a
complaint alleging that the rates col
leeted in the past are unlawful, but
which are no longer collected, formal
hearing. This, however, is a matter
resting solely with the commission.

ROOSEVELT OUTLINES
HIS POSITION ON WAR
lndOrses COnscripiOn But
Wants Force Sent Soon
As Possible

New York, April 27.-Dcelaring that
he wanted to see an American division
ON the firing line in France within a
few weeks, Colonel Roosevelt today re-
piled to Joseph Letter, president Of
the Army League, who telegraphed him
asking that he withdraw his proposal
for a Roosevelt division. The colonel
arrived from Oyster Bay en- route to
Chicago where he speaks tomorrow
night He declared opposition to the
administration 5 conseription bill and
opposition to the Harding amendment
to send a division to the front immedi-
ately, unpatriotic.
No man can misunderstood my po-
sition unless he deliberately chooses TO
do So, declared the colonel. 81 most
Earnestly and heartily favor the prin-
eiple of universal obligatory military
service. / wish to see it introduced for
this war and | also wish TO see il made
the permanent policy of this nation. |
earnestly and heartily support the ad-
ministration s proposal in this direction
because it is a step in the right direc-
tion and am only sorry it is not very
much stronger step.
Takes Only the Trained
my proposal is to supplement this
step by providing for the immediate
use of some of the men who would be
exempt under the administration Is bill.
1t is simply silly not to encourage in
stead of forbidding the use of efficient
men who otherwise would not be used
at all.
"All opposition to the Harding a.
lmendment is opposition to the princi-
Iple of universal military service and
however well intentioned it is, in its
actual effect, it is profoundly unpa.
triotic. Moreover, it is all wrong not
to send an expeditionary force abroad
within the next few weeks. 1t is all
wrong to propose not to send any one
abroad until we have a whole army
trained. AS matter of fact half of the
training should be given on the other
side of the water We should put one
division at the front at the earliest mo-
ment, keep its numbers full and put
other divisions with it just as rapidly
as it is possible to send them over in
stead of keeping the whole army back
to send over en- masse.
''The only wise and patriotic course
to follow is to vote for the immediate
application Of the administration s bill
and also to vote for Senator Harding s
proposition or some similar one as an
addition, not substitute
