Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September Limited
States Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew and
Mrs. Depew returned from Europe this
morning aboard the American line steam
ship st. Louis. Senator Depew looked
well. sunburned and said that he had
had fine time abroad. although the
nent had been cold. Altogether the De-
pews were away about two months, spend
ing most of the time in France and Swtzer-
land Senator Depew did not wish to dis
cuss politics. There was no politics, any
way; he thought it was dormant, so to
speak, as vet.
Asked what he thought about the COM
ing battleship cruise around the horn, Mr..
Depew said he thought it would be a good
thing.
What Is the good of having a navy" he
asked If 1t is not ready for all emer-
gencies and for distant voyages? The
surest guarantee of peace, in my mind. is
to be prepared for war"
Peace at The Hague.
The senator said he thought the only
countries that really had worked unauali-
fledly for peace at The Hague were the
South American republics.
They wanted guarantee against the
use of force in the collection of debts re-
marked Mr.. Depew with smile.
In my thirty trips so abroad" said
the senator, II have never seen so many
Americans abroad. They all seemed to be
worried. too more or less because of the
fall in the price of securities at home.
Money Matters Abroad.
This fall in prices has had bad effect
on the confidence of French investors in
American securities and has kept a great
amount Of French cash from coming into
this country. France Is the creditor nation
of the world. Her people are so thrifty and
economical that a great many of them
have money to invest.
"A French banker told me while abroad
this time that the recent fall in prices
had prevented millions OF French money
from being placed in American investments
You see, the French do not understand that
a drop in prices does not affect the values
and they have cut off the cash intended for
Americans.
Dodges the Third Term.
Senator Depew made Yankee answer to
the question as to whether President Roose-
welt should be nominated for a third term
He asked, Would it be a third term?'
When asked whether he favored the big
stick. Mr.. Depew said L am in favor of
Mr. Roosevelt"
Senator Depew will take up his work at
Washington as soon as possible. He eX-
