BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
COPENHAGEN, May 2.--In response to
an urgent request from Colonel Roosevelt,

According to The Hague correspondent
Of the Politiken. the government organ,
Roosevelt asked him to impress upon the
Copenhagen reception committee the alb
solute necessity Of making its program OF
entertainment less strenuous.
Similar requests the newspaper says
have been made upon all cities yet to be
visited by Roosevelt.
The coloners revolt against sixteen
hours day OF sightseeing, speech-mak-
ine and handshaking was declared Satur-
day evening at The Hague. At that time,
he told the United Press correspondent
that he would have TO have more time for
rest and that while he was pretty tough
physically, he was finding the European
programs too much for even his powers OF
endurance.
The Politiken's correspondent says
Roosevelt told him that his European
trip was proving far more exhausting
than the hardest political campaign he
had ever gone through.
The President and his party will arrive
here this evening from Amsterdam. hav.
ing left the latter city last night The city
awaits their coming with considerable
excitement.
