Delegations Are Rushing to the Nile and Khartor 70
Greet Colonel Roosevelt When He Emerges From
Wilderness With Smiles an Specimens

The exodus to Africa to see Roosevelt
when he energies from the wilderness
seems TO have begun in earnest.
1t was recently announced that 4
newspaper man OF prominence, who is
supposed TO he affiliated with the much
talked-of 'Back-from- EIba'' movement
had embarked on the high seas and was
bound for the Nile and Khartoum. This
announcement caused a great commo-
ton. me politicians tiuttered their
wings like agitated birds and there was
a great Eossiping over the matter. This
newspaper man is ellison Gardner, well
known in Washington and elsewhere.
Now comes the announcement that
Walter Wellman, of the Chicago Record
Herald, has set out i'm the direction OF
Khartoum. Mr. Wellman is not long
back from the frozen North, where he
had designs on the North Pole, which
were frustrated by the failings of his
airship and the activity of Commando
Peary. He has now turned his atten-
ton toward a more southern cline and
is travelling minus his balloon. Just

reference 10 the So-called ''Back-fronl-
Elba' movement is a matter of diSpUte
but it is understood he is opposed to
that movement and is a supporter OF
the Administration.
RumOrs have been floating about for
days that John Callan O'Laughlin. of
the Chicago Tribune. former First As
siStant Secretary Of State. had departed
for Africa, bent on meeting Roosevelt
and being the first TO CHeet him when
he reached the rim OF civilization. This
is denied. Mr.. OLaughllu is not in
Washington and his absence IS sur
rounded with mystery. But it is Of
hclally stated that he is not in good
health and has gone on a brief ocean
