NEW YORK, March %
They're off"
With the odds against his safe
return, Theodore Roosevelt, only
living ex-president of the United
States, today began the first stage
of his journey, which. before it is
ended, will carry him through the
jungles of Africa, in search of the
earth's largest and fiercest game.
With the sailing of the German
steamer Hamburg for Naples to-
day, Roosevelt, for 10 years cen
trail figure in American politics,
started on what he calls his vaca-
ton. The trip wouldn't be called a
vacation by those who know the
country where he Is going. But the
former president is as buoyant and
happy as boy today. Certainly the
experience will offer opportunity
for a free exercise of his strenuous
nature.
The ex-president's hunting trip is
one Of the most spectacular events
in the career of a man whose life
has seen many startling events, a
man who has seeped himself from
boyhood in strong. unusual blood
stirring sensations.
That man who has been sitting
in cushioned chairs directing legis-
lative diplomatic and executive
conduct for nation should throw
off the protection which civiliza-
ton and high station afford and
throw himself into the heart of the
dark continent is as startling as IT
is typical of the man.
He will meet the rhinoceros, the
most fierce and dangerous animal
In existence.
