A special dispatch. dated April to

l.. J.. says Col. Theodore Roosevelt is
again out in the open as candidate
for the Republican nomination for
President of the United States
He made known his attitude to a VS.
itor from a nearby state who expects
to go to the Republican national con-
vention as a delegate. There were five
men present in the big trophy room at
Sycamore Hill who heard the CONVEX
sation.
The colonel with his characteristic
vehemence had been talking of Mexico
and other international problems when
the visitor broke in.
you know, colonel" he said. Il may
make up my mind that we will have
to nominate you"
Not a Time for Doubts.
Like a flash the colonel turned to his
visitor.
well, now. let me give you piece
of advice" he said, pounding the chair
arm. "If you have any doubt on the
subject do not nominate me. Get it
perfectly clear in your head that if you
nominate me it mustn't be because you
think it is in my interest, but because
you think it is in your interest and the
interest of the Republican party and
because you think it to the interest OF
the United States to do So
The colonel hesitated a moment to
collect his thoughts. and then burst out
again. He put into his utterances all OF
the vehemence he would have used to
a campaign speech. apparently obliv-
ious of the fact that he was talking to
little group of men in his home and
not to a great throng in some huge
audit Orium.

Must Be Prepared, He Says.

"Uncle Sam must never wrong the
weak; he must never insult any one or
wantonly give cause Of offense to either
the weak or the strong, and the squarest
possible way to enable him to keep the
peace and keep it on terms that will
enable Americans to hold their heads
high and not hang them in shame is
TOR him to be SO prepared in advance
and / mean prepared in his own soul as
well as with his army and naVy-that
when ne says anything the rest of the
world will know that he means it, and
that he can make it good.
Don't you try to nominate me unless
you think that is the policy that ought
to be followed out, and followed out Tor
your sake as much as for mine. and for
the sake of the rest Of US here in the
United States, and don't forget that isn't
a course that provokes war; it is the only
course that in the long run, prevents
war. and secures national self-respect and
guarantees the honor of this country. and

are exchanged between United States

service between u. S. and Holland for
many articles. The ruling will be felt
keenly by these people.
The post offices at Washington D.

structed to accept parcels for insur-
ance, without attaching the insurance
tags. This order has been issued as
an experiment along the lines of eX-
