welt today gave further evidence of
an intention to apply himself to so

home for old people, conducted while
he was in Copenhagen, by visiting the
model poor houses, homes for old peo-
pie, and the insane asylums in the
environs of Berlin. The trip was made
in an autombile under the guidance of
the burgomelster. Roosevelt gather
ed all the available statistics on these
subjects here today and announced
that he would make similar inquiries
when he reached London, with view
to making comparative study of the
question as presented in Europe and
America.
Roosevelt was in the best of spirits
today and his voice showed big I'M

de- restraint from the death of the
king OF England. Formality and ira.
