Millionth Soldier to Leave
-I suppose you have observed that

of interest for me to say that the
1,000,000th soldier of the A. E. F. will
have ieft France on his way homeward

ranged to send 300,000 men westward
on transport- during the month of

Mr. Baker was informed that General
March had recently said that 450,000
men would be sent home monthly until
til the men scheduled for return had
arrived. He smiled and said: "I am
glad to hear it. That is splendid. Our
chief concern just now is the task of
petting the men home as rapidly as
possible. Fast month we sent home
250.000 men. Our army is in splendid
condition. It is without doubt the
finest army tho world has ever known.

Col. Roosevelt Predicts It!

Idea o? Service Learned
While Fighting Overseas
Selfish Purposes Denied
Organization Is Clean and

Thai Way, He Declares
Special Coi r< -. ona'i ; i ?:
ST Mir IS, May ... To perpetu te
the idea of service to the nation not
military, but civilian service for social
betterment is the fundamental prin?
ciple upon which the proposed Ameri?
can Legion, composed of ex-service '
men in the great war, expects to grow,
according to Lieutenanl Colonel Theo?
dore Roosevelt, one of the temporary
committee of founders, who arrived
here from New York to-night.
? Colonel Roosevelt is here for the
caucus of delegates or the legion, to
? bo held on May S, 9 and 10. He is
wearing a civilian suit with a broad
' black band on one arm, a sign of
! mourning for his father and his broth
? er Quentin.
To newspaper men he outlined the
l purposes of the legion, being careful
| always to make it, plain that he ex
; pected the directing force of the
organization to come from the 85 per
cent of former enlisted men-?the men
| of small means, as he phrased it, who
would bo the bulwark of the organiza
; lion.
"This is not an officers' organization
: and it is not formed for any selfish
? purpose," he said. "That is one of
I the questions I hear most frequently
asked. People from all over the coun
! try are writing to the members of the
| temporary committee, asking about the
legion and its purposes. Until the
; delegates formulate the platform and
the principles upon which the legion
will be formed there is very little we
n . tnbers of the temporary committee
can say.
"From the letters which have been
coming in, however, 1 believe that the
desire to perpetuate that spirit of de?
votion to America and American ?deals
which carried the Americans forward
irresistibly against the greatest ob
: stacles, will continue to guide the
! thoughts and actions of the men who
i belong to the legion.
"The legion to-day is as clean as
! a hound's tooth, and it is our desire
i to keep it that way," he continued.
1 "We will embrace policies- not poli?
tics. The question as to whether we
| will take in any other organizations
: or become a tin i a ted with them is one
j 1 cannot, answer. If the delegates de
- cide to take in one they will prob?
ably decide to take in all, but it seems
? that the men who will make up the
| legion will want to keep away things
i which would narrow the broad con
1 ception of its purposes which was
in the minds of its founders."

Von Jagow Now Blames
War on Subordinates
Says They Reported to Staff
Alleged French Invasion of
German Territory
PARIS, May 5.?The imaginary in?
vasion of German territory by the
French was the. pretext for the declara?
tion of war on France, says Gottleib
von Jagow, former German Foreign
Minister, in a book just published, en?
titled "The. Universal War, Its Causes
and Beginning." The alleged French
incursions were reported to the Ger?
man staff by subordinate officers, von
Jagow says, and the staff communicated
the information to the government
without attempting to ascertain the
farts.
When the Austro-Hungarian Ambas?
sador in Berlin communicated to him
the text of the ultimatum to Serbia,
von Jagow says he thought its terms
were too rigorous.
Theodor Wolff, in the "Tageblatt."
commenting on von Jagow's version of
the interview he had with the Austrian
Ambassador concerning the ultimatum
to Serbia, says that after reading it he
| is more at a loss than ever to under?
stand why the proposal made by Sir
Edward Grey to cal la conference of
Ambassadors to examine the conditions
1 to he enforced on Serbia was rejected
' so categorically by Germany.

Smith Favors Bill
That Will Reduce
Deaths bv Autos
Governor Indicates He Will
Sign Knight-Wheelock
Measure ; Puts Signature
to 1.01 New Laws in Day
ALBANY, May 5.-?Governor Smith
signed 105 bills to-day and indicated;
that he would sign the Knight- !
Wheeloek measure making an examina?
tion as tc fitness a requirement for
every person authorized to drive an
automobile. Magistrate Cobb, of the
Traffic Court in Now Y'ork, urged the
necessity of such a law upon the Gov?
ernor. He was armed with data to
show that automobiles killed 503 per?
sons and injured 13.000 m Now Yurk
City last year, and. declared that the
Knight-Wheelock bill would prove the
strongest possible safeguard for pe?
destrians.
Chief Magistrate Mc.A.doo intended
to appear for the bill, but his absence,
Magistrate Cobb said, constituted a
stronger advocate than would the chief
magistrate himselt', as it was due to
the fact that he had been hit by an
automobile Saturday.
"The best provision the bill con
i tains," said Governor Smith, "is the
i examination requirement. There would
he fewer people killed and hurt if
; every operator had to undergo a road
test such as chauffeurs take."
Governor Smith showed an inclina?
tion to oppose the proposed ?20.000.000
bond issue to build post and connect?
ing roads in cooperation with the Fed
oral government. Among the bills
signed were the following New York
City measures:
Senator Kaplan's, providing that a
woman convicted of a crime growing
out of labor dispute:! shall he sepa?
rated fr<iin other women in the insti?
tution to which she is sent.
Senator Dunnigan's, increasire; the
fees of Hell Gate pilots.
Senator Walker's, authorizing Mayor
i Hylan to appoint a city purchasing
|board.
Senator Boylan's, continuing in office
?matrons in the Department o^' Correc?
tions and grading them according to
I years of service.
