Fight For Confirmation

Washington, July 16.-There was no
let-up to-day In President Wilson s
fight for the confirmation of Thomas
D. Jones, of Chicago, for the Federal
Reserve Board. Intimations that the
nomination might be withdrawn from
the Senate were vigorously denied by
White House officials. Opponents of
the confirmation were confident they
could beat it; the administration still
was hopeful of victory though by
slender majority.
A letter endorsing Mr.. Jones. signed
by twenty-five large business concerns
in Chicago was made public to-day
at the White House.

Colonel Roosevelt in London.

London, Eng, June 90. - Colonel
Roosevelt's visit in England proved a
rather quiet affair. If he had ever
made any plans to give public ad
dresses these were abandoned The
activity of the militant suffragets made
it seem inadvisable.
The colonel. however, has met all
sorts of notables, and has had 4 bully
time. Within the past few days he
has been entertained by such men as
Sir Edward Grey, the British secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs, and
by Colonel Lee, an old friend. Some
of the prominent men he has met at
these affairs are Prime Minister
Asquith. David Lloyd-George, chan
cellor of the exchequer; Lewis Har-
court. secretary of state for the col
onies; Viscount Bryce. recently Brit
ish ambassador at Washington; Sir
Cecil Spring-Rice. the present Brit
ish ambassador to the United States;
Lord and Lady Northcliffe. Austen
Chamberlain, Sir Leander Starr
Jameson and Earl Curzon of Kedles-
ton.
At the home of Colonel Lee Colonel
Roosevelt again received the news
paper men, devoting his remarks al
most exclusively to the Scott expedi-
ton. He said:
II want to repeat remark made
to me last year in Brazil. 1 had with
me a man named Fiala, who had
been four years in the Arctic regions.
We were speaking of some of the
wrangles in connection with explora-
ton and he said:
"'Scott's life, death and the man.
ner in which he died added dignity
and self-respect not only to every
explorer but also to every man who
can appreciate manliness.'
81 agree with him. Four years
ago, at Colonel Lees house, Scott
was at dinner just two days before
he sailed l was immensely struck
and taken with his efficiency, his
modesty, his transparent courage.
Calamity and sincerity you could see
in him. l do not know a book of
history, biography or romance. of
fact or fiction, in which there is set
forth a more gallant example of
quiet, simple, utterly disinterested
heroism than is contained in the final
chapter of Scotrs book. which gives
his diary and his letters written as
he was dying there from cold and
starvation. I cannot imagine any
man writing a diary and letters with
out being inspired to try to lead his
life on a plane of courage and lofty
which would entitle him
to claim some kind of kingship."
