10 T.R. STILL HOPES ! TO LEAD DIVISION) His Appointment Would Not Upset Precedent of Coun try, He Says New York, April 6.—Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt issued a statement here last night in which he declared that no "unwise precedent" would be created, as has been suggested, in per mitting him to raise a division for active service on the French front. "The American people," asserted Colonel Roosevelt, "are united behind the President in the determination to wage effective, aggressive war for our rights and for the rights of humanity and civilization. I believe that our people now realize that the system of universal military service is the only effective and the only absolutely demo cratic system. I, of course, most earnestly hope for the passage of legis lation establishing the principle of universal, obligatory military service aud training. "In addition, I believe that the American people desire that in the immediate future we send abroad an expeditionary force. It is an excel lent and indispcnsible thing to raise money for and furnish supplies to our allies. This, of course, must be done. "The American people wish to do their own fighting. They do not wish merely to pay others to fight for them. They believe that we owe it to our selves and to the national honor to send a fighting force of at least an army corps, under the American (lag, to the front at the earliest moment. This army corps should be com manded by one of our first class regu lar major generals. It might consist of three, or perhaps only two, divi sions. "I have asked permission to raise a division which would be In this army corps and under its commander. No unwise precedent can i possibly be created by permitting an ex-President of the United States of previous mili tary experience to raise such a di vision and to serve with it at the front under the command of the general who heads the army corps."
