ing as he did, The rough riders had
proved their mettle and their leader was
ANXIOUS TO have the men occur. ed.
Roosevelt is man of action. Through
his energy the rough riders were among
the first TO engage IN battle They were
well equipped, unlike the national guard

them at great disadvantage Roose-
welt has done something OF a positive
