ROOSEVELT MAKES STATEMENT
Says His Reason for Many Political
Interviews is to Acqualnt Him
self With Situation.

Oyster Bay, New York.-Theodore
Roosevelt in his first authorized dec
laration, defining his attitude with re-
spect to the national and state politi-
cal situation conveyed the idea that
above all else he is working for COM
plete solidification Of the divided Re-
publican party factions.
Col Roosevelt authorized the state
ment that ne is sounding OUT the
sentiment of party leaders throughout
the country and that whatever he has
done must not be construed as an eX-
preston of his feeling toward the ad-
minis tration.
AS to a break between himself and
President Taft, the eX-president, in
sisted that no word he has uttered
could be interpreted in that sense.
He Is comforting with insurgents, reg
ulars and Democrats said Col. Roose-
welt at their own suggestion and he is
anxious to hear what the independents
have to say. In word, the ex-presi'
dent is feeling his way through the
tangled political chaos, with the idea
of trying to clear the clouds.

PLAN A PEACE CENTENNIAL
WHEN WE ROUND OUT 100 YEARS
WITHOUT WAR.
Commissioners From United States,
Great Britain and Canada to Con-
slider its Celebration.

Beverly, Massachusetts, COM
memorate in some fitting way the
rounding out of one hundred years Of
peace among English speaking people
pie it is proposed to hold confer
ence at an early date between COM
missioners representing the United
States, Great Britain and Canada,
whose duty it shall be to devise a plan
for this suspicious centenary.
President Taft was waited on by a
delegation appointed by the recent
Lake Hohonk conference and invited
to become honorary president of the
commission that shall represent the
United States in the proposed con-
ference. The centennial falls on
December "a, 1914 which was the date
100 years ago on which the treaty of
Client was signed bringing to an end
the war of 1912.
One of the tentative plans is to
erect in commemoration of the long
peace an international bridge across
Niagara Falls. 1t has also been sug-
gested that an exposition be held at
the time in which the nations of the
world shall be invited to participate.
John A. Stewart, chairman of the
executive committee from which the
delegation was chosen presented the
matter to the president who after
cordially indorsing all peace plans,
asked the committee to put its propo-
sition in the form of letter which he
would consider and make reply to.
1t is believed that the president will
accept the post of honorary head of
the United States commission.

AvIATORS DASHED TO DEATH
GERMAN DlRIGlBLE BALLOON DE-
STROYED IN MlDAlR.
The Aircraft was Being Fitted Out for
Passenger Service-Five Men
Met Instant Death.

Lechlingen, Rheinish Prussia
The dirigible balloon Erbsloeh, re-
Gently refitted for passenger service,
was destroyed in midair through the
explosion of a benzine tank. Its In
ventor, Oscar Erbsloeh, and his crew
of four men dropped to their death.
The bodies of the aviators were
frightfully mangled. The gondola was
torn to bits. The motor buried itself
in the ground.
The victims were men widely known
to all Germans interested in aerial
feats and Erbsloeh gained an interna-
tional reputation at st. Louis In l9Oi
when he won the international cup IN
the distance race for balloons.
There were few witnesses Of the &C.
cident. According to these the start
was we'll made. The Erbsloeh rose
gradually, pushing its way through the
fog to a height estimated at several
hundred yards. At this altitude
series of evolutions was begun.
To the onlookers the airship APP
peared to obey its helm perfectly.
Then there was loud report. The
forepart of the vessel crumbled, and
the gondola was twisted about until 1t
appeared to be standing on one end.
AS the gas escaped from the forward
compartment the PROV swayed down
ward. For moment the airship fiut-
