ROOSEVELT'S
NOBEL PRIZE
is RETURNED
Congress Acts on His Re-
quest That Idle Fund
May Be Used. -

The $4,000 Nobel Peace Prize
awarded in 1906 to Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt and by him turned over to
the Industrial Peace Committee IA 70
be returned to him and distributed
among relief organizations employed
in aiding soldiers and sailors and
their families. This disposition Of the
fund was authorized by Congress-
yesterday at Colonel Roosevelt's re-
quest.
In a letter sent to Representative
Gallivan of Massachusetts, asking
for the return of the money, Col.
Roosevelt says he believes better
use could be made of the fund than
by having 1t remain as a talent
wrapped in q napkin and buried in
the ground" He suggests that it be
distributed to the Y. NJ. c. A., the
Knights of Columbus, the Jewish
Fund and other organizations. He
expresses a desire to render an ac-
counting to Congress for the man
ner in which the fund is disbursed
and suggests that vouchers be sent
to q committee composed of Speaker
Clark. Senator Williams of Missis-
sippi and Mr.. Gallivan-
Passed Unanimously.
A resolution authorizing the re-
turn Of the prize money was intro
duced and passed unanimously.
I'VE are now in a great crisis, and
the utmost demand is being made
upon the charity of every man and
woman, rich or poor. Under these
circumstances I do not think 1t right
that the fund should lie idle and I
do think 1t most appropriate that the
Nobel peace prize fund should be used
through appropriate organizations to
care for soldiers, and for the widows
and children and mothers Of our sol
diers in this great war waged to Sc
cure the only kind Of peace worth
having-the peace which is founded
on right and justice and mercy.
