Theodore Roosevelt received three of Archie Roosevelt’s letters at once. Roosevelt will write an editorial concerning the Y.M.C.A., since he does not approve of men using the organization to avoid military service. It is good that Generals Wood, Pershing and Duncan are in charge of the war effort. Roosevelt will be returning home the following day.
