Roosevelt disbands volunteer force to aid war effort
Theodore Roosevelt announced that volunteers who sought to fight under the American flag in France are discharged from the movement. All funds promised will be redirected to other uses. The decision follows Wilson’s stance on prohibiting organization of divisions. Roosevelt emphasizes total war service over personal interests and notes a division under General Verring is to be sent abroad. He explains his aim was to raise troops outside the selective draft for immediate service.
