BE NAMED U. S.
MAJOR GENERAL
Springfield, Mass., Oct. 11.--The
Republican today
says:
"Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt may be given a
commission as a major general and
authorized to raise a division to be
recruited possibly from New Eng-
land alone. At least it is intended
that it shall be organized and equip-
ped here. It is stated opposition in
Washington which forced defeat of
the original plan of a Roosevelt di-
vision is diminishing.
"The regular army and national
guard have now been well taken care
of and sending a force to France un-
der Roosevelt will not mean a slight-
ing of the established forces and of-
ficers."
