ROOT TRIP NOT APPRECIATED.
Director Barrett Says Papers Did Not
Give II Sufficient Space.

Latin and South America just now are
paying more attention to our moral ana
Intellectual life than to cur commercial
facilities or To our mercantile and fnan-
ciaI excellence. Latin America just now
stands at the threshold OF deciding
whether to follow Europe and adopt its
standard OF moral and intellectual life.
or to decide in favor of this eountry's
standards of morality and intellectual
attainments.7
This sentiment was expressed by the
Hon. John Barrett, director of the Bureau
Of American Republics. in the course Of
an address he delivered at the meeting Of
the Columbia Library Association, held
al the Public Library, last night in the
presence of a large audience.
Mr. Barrett. in speaking Of the mission
of Secretary Root TO South America. de-
clared that the American public has not
yet appreciated the great services Mr..
Root has rendered this country, as well
as Latin America Mr.. Root con-
tinued Mr. Barrett, received "a greater
reception in Latin America than Admiral
Dewey upon his return from the Philip
pines received in New York European
newspapers gave five times as much
space TO his journey and TO the object Of
his mission as our own American papers
did. Even Tokyo papers gave more
space to Mr.. Roots reception in Rio de
Janeiro than the biggest American daily.
Latin Americans are aware of the lack
of appreciation we gave 20 Mr.. Roots
visit 10 their country. and there Is no
wonder that they look to Europe in
preference TO US"

EXPLAINS mrs. SAGR'S GIFT
Counsel De Forest Outlines Steps to
Be Taken.
Donor tO BE Trustee and Participate
Actively in Carrying Out Pro-
posed Work.

New York, March 13.-Henry W. De
Forest. personal counsel 20 Mrs. Russell
Sage. to-day gave an outline Of the-steps
to be taken in putting into operation the
Sage Foundauon-Mrs. Sage-s SI0O0O.O00
gift for the Improvement of social and
living conditions throughout the country.
He estimated that the principal would
yield an income of $4,000 a year. and
only the income is TO he used TO carry for
ward the purpose Of the charity. Mr.. De
Forest said:
Not only has Mrs. Sage decided 10 give
for the betterment of social conditions,
but she viii be a trustee herself, and viii
take an active part in the work. She is in
vigorous health, and is desirous not only
of seeing some active results from her
charities in the years that are left 70 her,
which we hope viii be many, but she
wishes 20 have the satisfaction OF par
ticipating i'm the work Therefore she will
try to be one Of the-most active members
of the trustees. and, of course. her wishes
viii prevail TO a large extent in respect TO
the expenditure of the income
When Mr.. De Forest was asked if the
income would be spent for educational
purposes or for purifying tenement life.
or for purposes of demonstrating the best
way to improve social conditions, he said
that the field was really unlimited. What
Mrs. Sage desired was that as the re-
suit Of her gift the lowiy and unfortu-
nate and any others who do not get the
best results out Of social conditions should
find way to improve them, and should
be helped 20 improve them. if necessary.
In fact. said Mr.. De Forest the trus-
tees Will get in touch with the best au-
thorities in charitable work, and we shall
be guided by their advice"
Mr.. De Forest said that the names an
nounced in Tuesdays newspapers as
trustees Were really the incoTpOratOrs.
The incorp0rators viii meet as soon as
they can legally. and then viii name
the trustees Probably all of the incOr-
porators viii be trustees, and it is possible
that other names viii be added.
a bill TO incorporate the foundation,
which Mr.. De Forest prepared has been
introduced In the legislature by Senator
Agnew and Assemblyman Prenuss.
