Back From the Jungle.

On March Ia Mr. Roosevelt emerged
from the jungle. arriving at Khar-
toum. where he met Mrs. Roosevelt
and his daughter Ethel. The expedi-
ton had been disbanded late In the
preceding month.
Throughout his African journey Mr..
Roosevelt was accompanied by Ker-
nit who went along as the official
photographer, but turned out TO be a
splendid shot
Following the hunt, Mr.. Roosevelt
was occupied with series of speeches
that have excited lively interest
throughout the world.
At this time also was begun a pro-
gram of entertainments in his honor,
such as has perhaps never before been
arranged for a private citizen. At Cairo
he approved of the British rule end
talked plainly to the Nationalist
The Vatican Incident.
Then followed the exchanges with
the Vatican which resulted In his
abandonment of the requested audi
ence with the pope.
At Paris he delivered an address at
the Sorbonne At Christiahia he adj
dressed the Nobel prize committee on
international peace. He spoke before
royalty at Berlin and was guest OF
Emperor William.
Mr. Roosevelt's visit TO Great Bril-
tain was marred by the death Of King
Edward. Unusual honors had been
planned for him. AS II was. he went
to London as the special American am
bassador at the royal funeral.
In spite of the curtailmcnt OF his
program at the British capital, 1t was
at Guildhall. in the city of London
proper. that he made the speech that
attracted more attention, or at least
more discussion, than any other OF his
addresses abroad.
Here again he touched upon British
rule In Egypt and mildly criticised
what he conceived to be tendency to
leniency not justified by political con-
ditions OF the African dependency.
