ROOSEVELT
ON TO BERLIN
Says That He Has Been Going
at Too Fast a Pace

CBy a staff Correspondent of the
United Press.)
STOCKHOLM, May 9-Colonel Roose-
velt's throat was still in bad shape
when he left hero at II O'Clock this
morning for Berlin, but he is confident
that the three days rest that 1t will
have before the delivery of his Uni-
versity of Berlin address win restore
its strength
DR.. Hagener, the Swedish specialist,
who gave Roosevelt's throat several
treatments. says there is no cause for
apprehension.
HE has a slight cold and it has been
aggravated by too much talking" DR..
Hagener said. "This is characterized
as incipient bronchitis, but the
bronchitis has not really developed and
] don't look for it to, if the Colonel
will give himself a few days rest"
Roosevelt himself laughs at the in
quiries made concerning his health. He
confesses that he has been going at too
fast pace for a few weeks. but counts
on the home vayage giving him a
chance to recuperate and expects to
land in New York in fighting trim"
Arriving in Berlin, Roosevelt will at
once become the guest of United States
Ambassador Hill. as the death of King
Edward changed the plans for the
Kaisers entertainment of him.
The trip from Stockholm to Berlin is
being made in a special train furnished
by the Swedish and German govern
ments. It will reach Berlin at 9 o'clock
Tuesday morning.

c.. l. Hudson and Co. stated this morn

cellent government crop report al o'clock
to-day. probably there would be more or

pie OF 70 per cent. for winter wheat will
be realized. The remarkably good show

not offer ground for the optimism thar

"MAN AND WIFE SHOULD
BE SPORTS" SAYS PARSON.

PROVIDENCE. May 9-The Rev.
Robert Parker. the wealthy rector Of
the fashionable ST. James Episcopal
Church on Broadway. this city, has
created much discussion by his frank
statement at recent meeting of the
Young Mems Church League relative TO
the proper attitude of man and wife
toward each other. Incidentally he has
named a new cause for divorce: Lack
of a sopring spirit" on the part Of
either husband or wife.
Or. Parker. himself a member OF the
Wanamoisett and the Metacomet Golf
clubs and an ardent golfer. said:
For a man to have a wife without
true sporting blood in her veins or for
a woman TO have a husband without
the true sporting nature, ought to be
grounds for divorce
This is construed to mean that the
petty squabbies Of married couple
should be met with forbearance, that
little petty faults should he overlooked
and that tho life together should be
taken'in a more philosophical manner.
