pean Monarchs a Chance to Treat
Him as Private Citizen After Be-
ing Their Equal for Seven Years
Diplomats Disagree.

Washington, April 25.-As an
nounced exclusively by the United
Press recently, President Roosevelt
will probably go to Soth Africa next
year to hunt big game, but beyond a
brief visit in England during the
transfer of vessels he will not touch
any other European country nor will
he make a trip around the world.
He announced to personal friends
yesterday that he had given up the
plan to follow the precedent estab
lished by Grant in making a tour. He
declared that he felt he could not
meet and be entertained by the rul-
ers of Europe as IL private citizen
after having been their equal for
seven years.
He declared that he believed the
dignity of the office he now held
would be compromised if he did so.
Diplomats disagree with the presi-
dent in this and say that if he visited
in Europe he would be received with
all the honors due an actual presi-
dent "He is considered the greatest
American. since Lincoln" said one
prominent ambassador from a Euro
pean power today.

225 dead. countless destroyed villages
in l3 states from the Dakotas to the

The latest reports come from
Purvis, Miss, that 80 whites and so
negroes were killed late last night by
the "twister."
The fury OF the storm is spent in
Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi
where all that remains of certain
sections of eight large towns are heaps
OF ruins under which are thought to
be the bodies of many killed and in
jured
In Louisiana alone II is thought
that 80 villages were leveled. Re-
ports are coming In slowly, but they
