Savannah News says: 1T il probable that some

discourses In South America are interesting here
at home for the line they afford on his plans for
next year and 1916" That is probably the
truth. but It is not probable that they are very
interesting for that reason Most of us have
reached the conclusion that what the colonel's
plans for 1916 are makes very little difference.
Bust his talks In the South American countries
are interesting more for the reason that they
have a direct bearing on our relations with
those countries, AS a man who has been highly
honored by his people. and who served seven
years as chief executive of the nation, Mr..
Roosevelt is regarded somewhat an emissary

States What he says possesses authority in some
