Ottawa, May Is. - Compulsory
military service on q selectlve oasis
TO raise Immediately at least $4,000
and probably 100000 men, TO make
good the wastage in the Canadian
army corps in France, was proposed
TO Parliament to-day by Sir Robert
Borden. the Canadian Premier, who re-
turned from England on Tuesday.
The announcement was received with
applause from both sides Of the Cham
Der.
Great Struggle Lies Ahead
"A great struggle lies before us in
his war; that is the message ] bring
vou from Great Britain and the front" "
said Sir Robert. IA great struggle
still lies before US, and cannot put IT
before YOU more forcibly than by stat
ing that at the commencement OF TINS
springs campaign Germany put INTO
the field 100000 more men than she
put into the field last spring.
"The organization Of the man power
Of that nation has been wonderful
That million was provided by Germany
alone and not by the whole OF the Cen
tral powers. II We arc going to win
this war-and il is absolutely incon-
ceivable 10 me that we should not win
the war-great effort must be made by
the Allied nations.
"Unsettled political conditions in
Russia undoubtedly have handicapped
the effort on the Eastern front and
enabled Germany TO make a great ef-
fort on the Western front
against these considerations is the
fact that a great kindred and neighbor-
ing nation, the United States, has en-
tered the war on the Allied side. Inc
event must exercise very important
influence indeed, not only upon the is
sues of this war, but upon the future
Of the world. The fact that citizens OF

side with the soldiers of our empire
cannot but have a splendid influence on
.hc future Of the two nations.

From TIE Tribune Bureau)

Washington, May Is.-Roosevelt Is
not going to France-at least, not Az
tho head of a Roosevelt DIVISION.
President Wilson. in signing the army
adjective draft bill tonight, announced
that he would not avail himself OF the
authority granted in the bill for the
raising of four divisions Of volunteers
In taking this action, the President,
while entirely within his rights not
only as commander in chief OF the
army but according to the wording OF
the bill. sets at nought the wish OF the
two houses Of Congress, both o. which
voted. by huge majorities, to which
large percentage of Democrats con-
tributed, that Roosevelt should be per
mitted to raise his division.
To grant the desire Of Congress and
T. r. himself that Roosevelt should go,
the President declared, "would serious
Iy interfere with the carrying out OF
the chief and most important purpose
of the army bill.
The President paid high compli-
ment TO Mr.. Roosevelt. both as to his
Conspicuous public services" and his
"gallantry." He added that politically
the sending of Roosevelt abroad would
create a very profound impression. 1t
would not, however, in his opinion, add
ANYTHING to the serious business OF
making war on Germany.
President Wilson's Statement
The Presidents statement follows:
T shall not avail myself, at any rate
at the present stage OF the war, OF the
authorization conferred by the act to
organize volunteer divisions. To do
50 would seriously interfere with the
carving out Of the chief and most i'm
mediately important purpose contem-
plated by this legislation, the prompt
creation and carly use Of an effective
army. and would contribute practically
nothing 70 the effective strength OF tn~
,,m;cs now engaged against Germany
81 understand that the section OF TINS
a., which authorizes the creation Of
volun,eer divisions in addition 10 tne
dr,ft WAS added with view to provid-
ing an independent command for Mr'
Rooseyelt. and giving the military au-
,bority an opportunity to use his hne
vipor and enthusiasm in recruiting the
forces now at the Western front.
~. would be very agreeable to me TO
NJ Roosevelt this compliment and
IN. Allies the compliment Of sending
90 ,hcir aid one OF our most distin-
,;.hed public men, an ex-President,
Who ba. rendered many conspicuous
,h,;. services and proved his gal
,.rtrv in many striking ways. Politi-
e.llv. too. i. would, no doubt, have
y.,v fine effect and make q profound
impression.
Not the Time for Compliment
;But this /. not the time or the oe-
casion for compliment or for any ae-
,ior not calculated TO contribute 70 the
immediate success Of the war inc

Roosevelt's Plan WouldDefeat
Army Bills Aim, Says Wilson
President Announces That to Grant Desire OF
Colonel and Congress Would Interfere with Crca-
tion and Use of an Effective Force-"Responsi'
b;Iitv for Conduct of War Is on Me-" He States

ticular under expert and professional
advice from both sides Of the water.
"That advice is that the men most
needed are men of the ages contem-
plated in the draft provision of the
present bill, not men of the age and
sort contemplated in the section which
authorizes the formation Of volunteer
units, ard that for the preliminary
training of the men who are to be
drafted we shall need all Of our ex-
perienced officers.
"Mr. Roosevelt told me, when ] had
tho pleasure of seeing him few weeks
ago, that he would wish to have asso-
ciated with him some of the most
effective officers of the regular army.
He named many of those whom he
would desire to have designated for
the service, and they we're men who
carnot possibly be spared from the too
small force Of officers at our command
for the much mere pressing and neces-
ssry duty Of training regular troops
to be put into the field in France and
Belgium as fast as they can be got
ready.
Regular Army to Go First
"The first troops sent to France will
be taken from the present forces OF the
regular army and will be under the
command Of trained soldiers only.
"The responsibility for the success
full conduct Of our own part in this
great war rests upon me. I could not
escape il IL / would. am too much
interested in the cause we are fighting
for to be interested in anything but
success. The issues involved arc too
immense for me to take into consider
alton anything whatever except the
best. most effective. most immediate
means Of military action. What these
means are I know from the mouths OF
men who have seen war as IL is now
conducted, who have no illusions. and
to whom grim war is matter OF busi-
ness. I shall centre my attention upon
those means and let everything else
wait.
"I should be deeply 20 blame should
I do otherwise, whatever the argument
cf policy. for personal qualification
or advantage"

Canned Tomato
 Sauce or Pree

Washington, D. C., July 20.-Since
 tomatoes contain a very high percen-
 tage of water, It is often desirable to
 can only concentrated tomato prod
 ucts This is true especially when cans or jars are difficult to obtain. A delicious concentrated tomato sauce may be made and canned as follows, says the United States De- partment of Agriculture. Small or broken tomatoes and large tomatoes
 unsuitable for canning whole, may be
 used in thia recipe.
 Cut the tomatoes into fairly small pieces and add one large-sized onion chopped and one cun~ chopped sweet red pepper to one gallon romatoes. Cook until tender. Put through a sieve and add ixture of Ia salt and Pa sugar in a proportion of one |teaspoonful to each quart of the mix ture. Cook until the consistency of
 ketchup. stirring constantly. Pack hot in sterilized jars or bottles. Ad- just rubber and cap-place the con-
 tainers on 8. false bottom in vessel of water sufficiently deep to reach almost to their tops and allow to re-
 main at boiling temperature for 25 minutes. Remove jars from the
 water bath and tighten the lids inn
 mediately.

nediately, and by utilizing box cars that formerly were sent to the coast empty.
 They have given preferences to coal shipments, particularly for the govern ment and its allies.
 Twenty-nine per cent more bitnminous coal was handled in April this year than in the same month of 1916.
 Second preference has been given to ore shipments, which also have increased enormously.
 The grain situation also has been greatly improved. There! is no grain being held at any point because of a car shortage.
 Arrangements are being perfected SO that the entire deciduous fruit crop also will be handled satisfactorily. To fur ther this efforts are being made to sup ply cars where needed by transferring empty cars from one section to another regardless of ownership.
 All passenger trains not absolutely necessary are being removed from the service.
 In short, the railroads are meeting all needs of the government, at least as promptly and effectuafiy as if they were under direct government authority.

Nicotine Spray
 Kills The Aphis

The aphis or plant louse whish is threatening to destroy the potato crop in some sections of the state can be best controlled by nicotine spray, according to the Connecticut Expert ment Station at New Haven It is necessary to spray carefully, how ever, II the louse is to be destroyed. Not only the upper surface of the leaf must be covered but the under side as weHs as must also. the stems Of the plants. In many cases this de- mands changes in the nozzle arrange ment of the sprayer.
 The spray. to use is a preparation made up by mixing one-haif pint of Black Leaf 40'' or any other tobacco preparation of equal strength with two pounds of whale oil soap. or any common bar soap, dissolved in a bar rel of water For small gardens one to one and one-half teaspoonful of Black Leaf 4U' mixed with a cube of soap one inch each way, dissolved in a gallon of water, will do the work The nicotine spray cannot be ap- piled with Bordeaux mixture as Ae done with Paris Green or arsenate of lead. It should follow of precede in Ia few days.

The railroads Of the United Estates have met every emergency since the declaration of war, according to Dariel Willard, chairman of the Committee on Transportation of the Council of Ma tional Defence. The railroads have to their credit, through co-operation with the War Board, the following achieve ments:- sN
 The 08S companies operating in forty eight States and controlling 263, 900 miles of read have been practically na- tionalised and are working as one sys- tenn.
 They have made aR transfer of troops on schedule, without interfering with civil traffic, to the entire satisfaction of the War Department. r. They are handling at the same time, without congestion, more than 3,oOO,- GOO, 900 more ton miles month than a year ags, or an increase of sixteen per cent.
 They have successfully handled the added traffic thrown on them by the withdrawal on account of the war of many lake and seacsast vessels.

 Our strongest offensive force. the U-boats ,injures England immeasur- ably. Nevertheless no end is be foreseen at this moment. Hope had arisen that the end of the war might be brought about by midsummer through the U-boats. Expectations were aroused which were not realized.
