Washington. Jan. president
Roosevelt's attitude on the question or
the command of hospital ships in the
navy which resulted in the resigna-

made known today when Secretary
Metcalf gave to the press two letters
from the president addressed TO him
on the subject
In the first, President Roosevelt
condemns in unmeasured terms the
act of Admiral Brownson. declaring
il To be unseemly and improper. The
question upon which BrownsOn took
issue with the navy department. the
president declares is one on which
there can be no legitimate difference
of opinion: but. he adds. There is no
room for difference of opinion as TO
the gross improperly of thesadmiraIs :

GOOD RIDERS
AND HORSES
Two Needs of the United
States Army
The President FavOrs Con-
gress With Pictures of
European HOrsemanship.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Tnrteen pho
tographs from life. illustrative of rae
ing and exploits in horsemanship form
the unique exhibit sent to congress by
the direction, of the president TO ac-
company recommendations from him
self and the chief of staff for the bet
terment of army riding. The pictures
are, intended to show how far ahead
of American military men are Euro
peans in the art of equitation. One of
the most thrilling represents an Ital-
ian cavalryman riding over a twenty
foot perpendicular cliff. the photo
graph being taken in series to illus
trate the sagacity of the horse and
the skill Of the rider in maintaining
his poise.
There are pictures OF German stud
ent officers apparently leapine from
hill to hill of fat majors and lieuten-
ant colonels going through bogs and
swamps and over hedges. riding the
famous drag hunt of the German
arQy. The official correspondence
with the pictures consists of letter
from the president TO the secretary Of
war requesting him to secure Iegisla-
tion to secure a higher degree of skill
in horsemanship. The report says:
These measures are essential to the
improvement of horsemanship in the
arm"
Another letter from the president
to the chairman of the house COM
mittee on military affairs transmits a
report from Major General Bell. chief
of staff. the president saying: "The
field officers Of our army cannot be
held exclusively responsible for the
poor riding which has been frequently
observed. The quality of our horses
does not equal that of the mounts used
by foreign armies. Furthermore,
though all infantry captains in Euro
pean armies are mounted an infantry
officer of our service has little oppor-
tunity to practice riding until he be-
comes a field officer
General Bell prefaces the report by
quoting a note from the president re-
ferring to number of press COM
ments. apparently inspired by the i'm
preston that such test. (riding abil-
ity) was something extraordinary and
unheard or and requesting him to
state the requirements i'm foreign arm
les in this respect
Speaking generally. the report
shows. that in Europe all mounted Of
ficers Of every grade shall keep them
selves and their mounts in a fit con-
dition for instant war service Most OF
them maintain schools where student
officers are constantly under instruc-
tion in horsemanship.

country as a whole
Regarding the controversy in the

Il well, he says that these defects b.

OF exploiting such defects I'm grossly

est Of individuals or cliques OF indi-

dent has also asked Secretary Metcalr
for a statement Of the exact facts con-
cerning which there has been misrep-
reSentatiOn.
He also desires particularly the
opinion of Admiral Converse. formerly
chief Of the navigation bureau, who

tainments and standard conduct of

larly fitted To give judgment.

Taft will gain nothing by remaining

depend upon the influence of the ad-

But Secretary Taft was never an
aggressive factor in politics. He has
never held other thaH an appointive

he has sought office through the
votes Of the people. Even now he

disposition Of Secretary Taft to lean

ROOSEVELT MAY
ENTER CAMPAIGN
President Frets at Enforced In
activity in Nations Battle
for Presidency.


Robt. Simpson, the Staff Correspon-
dent of Pittsburg Gazette-Times, wires
his paper an interesting letter from
Cincinnati, dated Sept. goth, from
which we make few extracts:
Theodore Roosevelt has been chatting
under the restraint placed upon him
by his presidential office, and that his
fighting spirit has been aroused by re-
cent events is information that must
come from him, if from any source.
He has been reluctant for obvious rea-
sons to appear prominently in the cam
paign. But it is difficult for the Presi-
dent to restrain the man and at any
moment the man may assert himself
1t will be we'll to keep one ear toward
the east.
Because Cincinnati is the home of
both Taft and Foraker, the incident of
the Archbold letters continues the one
large topic of conversation. 1t had
more than anything else to do with
keeping Senators Crane and Dick here
to day. Senator Crane had been billed
for an appearance for nearly a week
before he arrived enroute to Chicago.
He could have completed his business
yesterday and departed last night.
DON'T KICK A MAN WHEN DOWN.
To-day with Senator Dick, he visited
Senator Foraker. 1t was described as
only social call. Late in the after
noon he visited Judge Taft and also
met Charles p. Taft, who had just re-
turned from a long vacation on Long
Island. This was termed social in
cident only.
With their departure the Foraker
discussion is likely to lag, for Judge
Taft's OPPOSITION is that it would be
unmanly to kick a man when he is
down.
His friends who could not induce him
to speak on Friday, and cannot per-
suade him to make an expression now,
point out that the allegations made
against Senator Foraker and the sena-
tors replies to them are justification of
the whole attitude of Taft and Theo-
dore Roosevelt, who have been endeav-
oring "to put a stop to the corrupt al
lance between business and politics."
FORAKER CASE JUsTIFIES ROOSEVELT
Foraker's opposition, they say, was
originally to Roosevelt because of his
policies and was transferred to Taft be.
cause Taft stood for the things that
Roosevelt stood for, and his nomina
ton was"the most emphatic rebuke pos
sible to such practice as have been eX-
posed" This, they say, should rivet
the attention of the country to the fact
that Taft stands as the extreme antis
type and opposite of these practices
and that Foraker's bitter opposition to
TafG's nomination is really warranty
of Taft's sincerity"

To the mind of Mrs. Abigail Jen-

Mrs. Jennings would never have ad-

anything that you'd call crazy?"
