Rather Than Against

oAster Bay, N. Y, August 11.-"At

Roosevelt laughingly. when told today
that the plan for having William j.
Bryan follow his trail about the coun-
try and reply to his speeches had been
abandoned, as announced yesterday.

decision of his democratic opponents
that the progressive ticket was not a

isn't that perfectly loverly," he ex-
claimed.
1t Is Colonel Roosevelt's purpose to
make a positive fight for the progress
sive platform and ticket rather than
against the republican and democratic
candidates. In the opening speeches of
his campaign he plans to lay chief en-
phasis upon what the progressive party
proposes to do, rather than to assal
his opponents. BY making positive rath-
er than negative arguments. Colonel
Roosevelt hopes to place the other
candidates on the defensive. He ex-
pressed all confidence in the progress
sive platform, drawn largely from his
speech in Chicago, which he regards as
the greatest effort of his life.

Italian chauffeur. Vincenzo. When
they entered Italy in their motnr.
Vincenzo stopped at the boundary,
bought large bunch of flowers from
a boy by the roadside and handed
them to his employer, saying, with a
bow: Permit me, signora, to offer
you the first homage from Italy"
Royal Family Prodigal.
The Italian royal family has been
prodigal of its own services for the
people of italy So when the cholera
felled hundreds of citizens the king
and queen We're first at the bedside of
the suffering and afflicted. When Mes
sina was destroyed the king and queen
rushed to Naples and embarked on a
man-of-war which was hurried to the
scene of the catastrophe. There they
personally succored the victims of the
earthquake.
Now another one of Italy's royal
women has taken up the burden of her
country's sufferings. This is the
Duchess of Aosta, who not only en-
rolled herself as one of the devoted
band of Red Cross nurses that has
gone to Tripoli to care for the wound
ed of the Italian army, but she re-
fuses to accept any special attentions
due her royal rank
In the camp she is known simply
as Nurse No. 3, but the soldiers, who
worships this tender-hearted woman,
know well who Nurse No is, and as
she passes through the wards of the
hospitals they kiss the hem Of her
veil and bless the dynasty Of Savoy
that gave Italy its fine rulers and
splendid gentlewomen
The Duchess of Aosta, whose hus-
band is in direct succession for the
throne of Italy, is not distinguished in
any particular from the other nurses.
shares their humble cots, eats the
same food, does her full share of the
nursing, stands watch with the other
nurses and does not shrink from at
tending the soldiers of Italy at the
operating table.
1t is said that the king had de.
clared he would not permit any of
the royal women to face the dangers
of nursing in Tripoli, danger due to
the INSCRIPTIONS nature of the Arabs
and Tripolitans, who have proved
themselves treacherous and murder
Gus. The Duchess Of Aosta did not an.
nounce her intention of going, but en-
barked secretly, and it was not until
she was recognized after the transport
steamer had left Naples that she ad.
mitted her identity
