Chicago, Sept. 20.-Col. Roosevelt
has been placed. He was once julius
Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte. Alexan-
der the Great and perhaps even Wash
ington and Lincoln of later times.
Many of the Colonels enmies have
seen rcsemblances to Caesar and Ma
poleon in his acts, but it remained for
the Thosophic society, i'm convention
here to properly classify and label
him.
T. II. Talbot asserted that he had
no doubt but that the spirit of Roose
welt had achieved prominence In world
affairs i'm other generations. He in
sisted his present status is even great

developed his greatness only through
many ages of training.

ferred to a statement that during the
fiscal year of 1910. $4,000 cars out
