ROOSEvELTS TRIP
 ID SOUTH AFRICA
lcontinued from Page 7.l


 tions have been received by Mir. Roose- welt by people who wished to accom- pany him on the expedition. They of fored their services gratis. These of fers came from all kinds of people, from cooks to naturalists. None of them was granted by Mir. Roosevelt. Num- erous announcements have appeared in the newspapers from time to ,ime stat ing that some person or other was to go with the president and not few gainel considerable newspaper adver- tising in this manner. The latest was young prize-fghter who was travellng with theatrical company.
 One of the objects of Mr. Roosevelt in taking this trip is for the purpose of collecting material for writing sew eral books regarding his experiences. During last summer he contracted with Charles Scribners' Sons of New York, giving that firm all the rights for the serial and book.form publication cf whatever he might write on his visit to Africa. It is said that the contract price agreed upon is $l.00 per word, but this never has been verified. The pres ident s stories will be read with deep interest by the many people of this and other countries who admire his brilliant style. His contract with the Scribner firm will in no way interfere with a contract he signed last October to be- come an associate editor of "The Out look" magazine. For that publication he will write on other matters which he may become interested in while abroad. From time to time that magazine will print articles under his name.
 Regarding the second year of MT. Roosevelt E tour abroad little of his plans is known, in fact he has not def initely decided upon them. Friends of the president, however, expect to see him return to the United States at the end of two years with added laurels and popularity. It is not alone for the shooting of a collection of mammals that Mir. Roosevelt goes across the water, but he will also have an oppor- tunity to do and say something that will bring him into prominence before the entire world. After he has finished his hunting tour he will be joined by Mrs. Roosevelt at Khartoum and pro- ceed down the Nile to Cairo, making visits to places of interest while on the way, and then proceeding to Europe. At Berlin he will deliver an address upon the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the University of Der lin. It is reported that he will go to Berlin upon the special invitation of tho German emperor and while there will be n guest at different times of the kaiser. From Germany he will go to France and deliver an address at the Sorbornne, probably taking as his sub ieet the .like-work of the Marquise de Lafayette. It has not been learned how long MT. Roosevelt intends to stay in Berlin and Paris. After his visit in France, MT. Roosevelt will go to Eng land, where reception of great warmth undoubtedly will be accorded to him. He has accepted an invitation to de- liver the Romanes lecture at Oxford University and in all probability the honorary degree of D. c. L.. which OK ford has bestowed upon Emperor Will liam, will be conferred upon Mir. Roose. welt.
 The versatility of Mr. Roosevelt will be shown by the fact that he will speak German in his address before the stu. dents of the University of Berlin, French in his lecture at ths Sorbonne, and English in delivering the Romanes lecture at Oxford. It is expected that this feature of his visit to the capitals of the three leading nations of Europe will attract great deal of attention. Holland, being the home of his ances, tors in Europe, it is considered not i'm probable that he will go there for short visit, when he undoubtedly would speak in the tongue of his forefathers MT. Roosevelt's versatility in language is quite well known in this country, but it will receive still higher commenda tion when he makes his addresses abroad in the languages of the country he visits.
 One point of particular interest in London which, no doubt, Mir. and Mrs. Roosevelt will visit, is St. Georges church where they were married in 1886. It is likely that they will be in London on the twenty-fourth anniversary of the wedding.
