TEDDY TO HUNT IN
SAMOAN ISLANDS

New York. Nov. i7.---Although the
Fills and the Polynesians OF Samoa
don't know II yet, their respective
islands are due for n TIT. and the
south Pacific for somewhat OF n
splash. so to speak. next February.
because T. r, is going to visit 'em.
II Is understood this trip Ia to con-
siisste Colonel Roose~sit's vacstioa
after the campaign labors he under
took In the Interests OF Charles T..
Hughes, Mira, Roosevelt will accom-
pany tho colonel. Roosevelt chose
Samoa and the FIJI islands because
they are both highly spoken Of by
physicians as above the average In
climate and. too. because Roosevelt
believes they will AFFORD him a good
playground for the rather strenuous
vacations he generally takes.
Although the Wesleyan mission
aries have driven sin and cannibalistic
traits from the erstwhile savage Fills
and the energy they once spent In
thinking up unique tortures for un-
fortunate Victims have been turned
to more civilized channels. there re-
main many distractions on these Is
land, Mr.. Llppincott's Gazetteer men
tions lnnumerable worn-out vol
canoes to crawl about In and many
health springs with such modern con-
veniences as hot and cold water de-
vices
There are several Ave thousand
foot hills In Samoa and y lot OF Wild
territory In which animals. hereto
fore undiscovered, are said to have
an abode. rs
The colonel has not decided yet
whether to 10 across the Panama
canal or journey overland to San
Francisco. II In unlikely that Roose-
welt will make any political announce
ments or speeches until after his re-
turn.

on America to ''contribute out Of our

The tug Castles men helped In the

Since the Deutschland came back
here under her own steam. 1t In not
believed she sustained any serious
damage. Hurried examination led
Eastern Forwarding company oiiicials
to believe she would be ready for sea
again In q few days at most.
As the big boat put out today
rumors were revived again concern
Ing a possible armed submarine es-
cort. The fact that the Deutschland's
departure seemed to have been sud
denly decided on led some to believe
that the mooted submarine cruiser
had appeared on the coast and was
waiting the merchantman.
Several thousand gallons OF oil
were put aboard early last night. It
had been brought In hurry from
Palmer. Mass. BY special train.
Eastern Forwarding company ON
ciais refused to treat seriously appfe.
hensIon OF q man. dressed as labor
er. VINO attempted to board the
Deutschland yesterday. The man
carried small package Of black
powder in bulk. Captain Koenig In
sisted the man be released. saying
he was probably only a crank.
Later this morning report was
circulated that mysterious motor
boat tried to ram the Deutschland.
and that In attempting to protect the
submarine the tug swung directly In
the path Of the undersea freighter.
Inquiry at the pier Of the Eastern
Forwarding company. where the
Deutschland again rests. brought no
confirmation OF this rumor. The
Deutschland was running on the sur
face at the time, Of the accident.
While there was no heavy sea, the
current. according to Castles crew,
was unusually strong. Because OF
this and the inky darkness. the
Deutschland's lookout did not see the

alarm. All lights that had not been
