KELLOGG TO MEET ROOSEVELT
Minnesotan Going to Europe at Ex-

1t is said at Washington that Frank
B. Kellogg of Minnesota, who is now
on the water on his way to Europe,
is making the trip at the special re-
quest of Theodore Roosevelt and will
join the former president soon after
his arrival there, possibly in London
Mr.. Kellogg, it is said, received a
letter from Colonel Roosevelt written
from Egypt, just after he emerged
from the jungle, asking him to meet
him. Colonel Roosevelt relies very
strongly on the Minnesota mans iudg-
ment and knows of his close relation
to the Taft regime, through which re-
lation he desires to get an accurate
knowledge of conditions at Washing
ton.
Mr.. Kellogg informed friends at
Washington before leaving that he ex-
pected to remain with Colonel Roose-
welt while and return to America
with him on the same ship.
