A Well Defined Movement to
Nominate Colonel For PreSi-
denCy Said to Have
Been Launched.
SAY TEDDY WILL ACCEPT
Prefers Not to Run and VIII
Make No Fight For Nomin-
atior-Say He Would
Support Wood.

Washington, D. c.. April 4.-No fur
Their mystery exists as to the recent
Roosevelt Root Lodge Bacon Wood
luncheon in New York. 1t was ar
ranged by Robert Bacon to complete
the reconciliation between Roosevelt
and Root, partly in behalf of unifica-
ton of prOgressives and republican
parties: partly in behalf Of RooseVelt's
nomination.
Every man participating knew this.
Preparedness was secondary. Root,
Lodge and Bacon are working for the
Roosevelt nomination; so Is Knox.
Penrose will line up.
Meantime, many regular republicans
opposed to Roosevelt are giving in
creased attention to Cumnlins and
Hughes.
Will Make No Fight.
One of the Roosevelt leaders here,
returning from Oyster Bay today, has
this to say Of the colonel's intentions
as regarding the presidential nomina-
ton campaign:
1.-THE colonel is not a candidate in
the sense that he will sanction the use
OF his name in the republican pri-
maries of any state this spring. Nor
will he make any sort of a campaign
for tho nomination. He expects to
make two or three speeches before
June 7, and he will make a statement
whenever ne thinks there is occasion
for doing so, but they will be for the
purpose Of furthering his propaganda
and not his nomination.
Wants Country Aroused.
"The sole purpose that Colonel
Roosevelt has in mind at present is
to galvanize into new life the tagging
Ideals of Americanism in a citiZenry
which has grown siothful from lack
Of energetic leadership.
while 1t Is not possible to set down
In the form Of an interview the views
Of Colonel Roosevelt with respect to
the presidential nomination, 1t can be
stated that If he felt that he he any
choice in the matter Of what tive re-
publican convention should do, he
would be in favor Of the nomination Of
man younger than himself who has
ndomitable courage.
1T can be stated that the colonel has
IN mind as the type of man to whom he
believes the American citizens could
we'll trust their leadership and the ire
nendous powers which go with the
executive authority vested in the presi-
lent, Gen. Leonard Wood"

NEW EDUCATIONAL
SYSTEM PROPOSED
Rockefeller Board DeviSes Cur
riCuIum Eliminating "Dry
Rot" and Planned For
Modern Needs.

New York, April 4.-The general
education board. founded by John d.
Rockefeller, today invited expressions
of opinion as to the feasibility or es-
tablishing a modern school which, &C
cording to Abraham FleXner, assistant
secretary of the board, who submitted
the plan, would reVolutioniZe the pres
ent educational system.
'"The curriculum" Mr.. FleXner said,
includes nothing for which an affirm
alive case cannot be made out. The
modern school would drop the study
Of formal grammar. For such evidence
as we possess points to the futility OF
formal grammar as an aid TO correct
speaking and writing.
"a modern school would not go
through the form of teaching children
useless historic facts just because
previous generations of children have
learned and forgotten them, and also
would have the courage not to read
obsolete classics simply because tradi-
ton has made this sort of acquaint-
ance a kind of good FORM"
Neither Latin nor Greek, Mr.. FleXner
added. would be contained in the cur
riculun of the modern school, mot be-
cause their literatures are less Won
derful than they are reputed to be but
because their present position In the
Curriculum rests upon tradition and as
sumption. ,
aside from reading, writing, SPELL
ing and figuring the curriculum of the
modern school will be built out Of &C
tual activities in science, industry,
aesthetics and civics. The work of sci
ence would be the central and domi-
mating feature.
A school trying to produce a re-
sourceful modern type of educated
men and women would provide prac-
teal training in one or more modern
languages.
Not only do American children as a
class fail to gain either knowledge or
power through the traditional curricu-
lum-they spend an inOrdinately long
time in failing" declares Mr.. FleXner
1.-The period spent in school and col
lege before students begin professional
studies is longer in the United States
than in any other western country. An
economy of two or three years is ur-
gently necessary"

EXPLORERS GET FIRST
NEWS OF GREAT WAR
Captain of Returned Ship Ex-
plains Disaster Causing Him
to Turn Back.

Dunedin, n. a.. April 4.-On the ar
oval of the Aurora here, ]. r. Stem
house, the first officer, who brought the
Vessel from Ross sea, expressed con-
hdence that Sir Ernest Shackleton had
succeeded in making his trip across
he hole according to schedule. He
added that, although the party en-
trusted with depot laying were to go
as far south as possible, they may
nevertheless have been unable to reach
Cape Beardmore, the point originally
Intended.
Chief officer Stenhouse, explaining
the circumstances in which the Aurora
oroke adrift, said:
1T might look as If we were run
ming away to save our hides, but as a
matter of fact, the ship was so buckled
by her six weeks pressure from the
Ice that the ships party were on the
point Of abandoning her and sending
wireless message to the king request
ng that a relief expedition be sent
when she managed to get clear. 1t was
q sad homecoming, but 1t was utterly
impossible for the ship to be of any
use in her condition. l hope to return
with the same personnel and to pick
up the parties left ashore"
Mr.. Stenhouse said they had taken
enough hausers and anchors to moor
battleship, but they snapped like
threads in the billiards.
"As our ship drifted away" he said.
I'VE could see plainly the lights in the
little nut occupied by the landing
party"
For some time the explorers lived on
what they were able to kill, mainly
seals and penguins, their provi3i0ns
Just holding out.
The wireless operator of the tug
which lowed the Aurora into Port
Chalmers, nine miles from here, gave
the explorers the latest news of the
war the first news from the outside
world they had received in II months.

HOLLAND IS FACING
SHORTAGE OF WHEAT
Netherlands Government Seek
ing to Buy Huge Reserve
Supply In America.

The Hague, (via London). April A.
Hollands reserves of wheat are prac-
tiCally exhausted, and the Associated
Press is informed on the very highest
authority that the government intends
to buy 10000 tons in America, in ad
ditiOn to the normal $4,000 monthly, in
order to form the needed reserve.
Several Dutch ships have been req
uisitioned under the new ship law to
bring these supplies from America The
disappearance Of the reserve Is due to
the failures of the Holland American
line and other steamship companies to
fulfill completely their contracts to
transport $4,000 tons of wheat and
flour and $4,000 tons OF corn from
North and South America, owing to
the delay caused by war. Should the
British government grant the request
that has just been made to it for the
increase of Hollands present insuffi-
Cient import supply of $1,000 tons Of
corn monthly, then the above men,
toned purchase will be corresponding
ly increased. A hundred thousand tons
Of corn are needed every month.
Cotton manufacturers are manifest
ing uneasiness lest the requisitioning
of cargo space by the government may
interfere with the importation of the
needed supplies of raw cotton from
America.

THE USEFUF OMELET.

Copyright, 1916, by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate)
The ordinary way of making this
delicacy is to beat the whites and
yolkes Of the eggs together. The cook
ing pan must be creased with butter
and this must be melted and be at the
smoking point before the eggs are put
in. With excessive heat at the start,
the omelet browns before it rises and
the result is heavy and unpalatable.
When a filling is used, the eggs are
first cooked nearly through on one side,
the filling which has been made hot, or
been cooked separately as is needed,
is then put on one-half Of the eggs;
the other half of the pancake is turned
over it, and then the goOdy is Topped
over once in the pan or else set in the
oven for q moment or two to brown or
cook further. Omelets Of any sort
should be served very hot on hot plates
and eaten the moment they are cooked.
Oyster omelet. Have ready one dozen
oysters drained of their liquid, and
while the beaten eggs are cooking,
heat them in another vessel with a lit
tie butter until edges show signs OF
curling. When the egg is ready for
the filling, that is set, turn in the
oysters, withholding the butter and
juices which have drawn; fold as usual,
pour the liquor on top and set in the
oven three minutes. DdSLo Will
hot butter before serving and add q
light sprinkle Of chopped parsley at the
same time.
The omelet is as substantial as it Is
delicate to the palate, and the fishy
quality of 1t is a pleasing relief after
the rich roasts Of the midday dinner.
Omelet souffle. This is a very or
namental way Of cooking the dainty
and it is also one of the most econOmi-
cal for fewer eggs are needed than with
the ordinary omelet.
Separate the yolks of six eggs from
the whites, and add to yolks five
ounces Of pounded sugar, one dessert
spoonful of rice flour or cornstarch
and little vanilla extract. Next whip
the whites Of the eggs to a light froth,
add them to the yolk batter, and mix
the two together with a few airy
passes Of the spoon. Then put on the
cooking pan and when hot drop in a
nut Of butter and as soon as this melts
and smokes pour in the egg, turning
over edges when cooked at one side
to make an oval shape. Slip the
omelet while underdone on the inside
onto hot plate and brown it a few
minutes in the oven; butter the top
on taking it out and then sprinkle 1t
with powdered sugar. Serve at once,
for the least standing makes the souf-
file fall. Mushrooms, green peas as
paragus tips, minced ham, tomatoes
and brussels sprouts makes delicious
filings for omelets. Indeed If one may
follow the example of the French cook
there is scarcely an edible quantity
that may not Se put in the omelet.

Chicago, April 3-Wheat prices

day and the market showed broad &C
tivity as a result of estimates that the
crop of winter wheat in the United
States this year would be 5000, 900
bushels less than the yield harvested
in 1915. Profit taking was heavy dur

were readily absorbed, with foreigners
taking part in the buying.
