FALLING SHORT

NEW YORK, March 4-Despfte
warnings from his physicians that he
would be subject to dizziness for some
months and that he should moderate
his activities, Colonel Roosevelt, now
practically recovered from his recent
illness, plans to speak in Maine on
March IS.
In addition to one blind eye, which
was revealed some time ago, the
Colonel now has one deaf ear. This
is his left one. whose hearing was
lost as a result OF the operation he
has undergone, and il is feared il
will be permanently deaf His fac
ulty OF equilibrium is also temporar-
lily affected.
The former President will leave
Roosevelt Hospital today and take up
residence in a hotel. where he will
stay under the observation of physi-
clans for several days, following
which he will go to his home at
Oyster Bay.
what Doctors Say.
The physicians bulletin issued to-
day says:
For the last four years Colonel
Roosevelt has intermittently suffered
from the after effects OF his Brazilian
eNpLOTdllOu Inns dCulc dl-
tack has given us the opportunity to
remove the cause. probably complete
ly. and we believe from the rapidity
with which the incision has healed
that he is in an unusually vigorous
condition, and that he will speedily
be in even better shape than before.
''While he was being treated. but
not in connection with this condition.
he developed an acute infection of
both middle ears. which nAcessitated
an incision of both drum membranes.
The right ear recovereu. and in few
weeks the hearing in this ear viii be
as good as ever.
subsequently,. Infection spread to-
the internal ear on the le. side, tenn
porarily and probably permanently de-
strcying all hearing functions.
VIII Become Dizzy.
"It has also destroyed the static
functions in thIs ear, and some months
will pass before the compensation for
the loss Of this function completely
takes place.
"In other words. il will be some
months befor" he viii recover com
plete control OF equilibrium or before
he will cease to find himself dizzy at
any quick or unexpected motion. In
during these months, he
must be cautious about his activi-
ties"

BRITISH DIVIDED
IN REGARD FOR
WINSTON NCHURCHILL

LONDON. March 4.-Since I've been
in London I've earned lit about
Winston Churchill. I've learned:
That his sun has set never to rise
again:
That he's bound to be the next
prime ministers
That he has the most precocious
mind ever bestowcU on 4 youth +
forty-three years;
That he never has learned how TO
think;
That submarines would be thing
OF the past if he had been retained -
first lord Of the admiralty:
That the British navy would have
been thing of the past il h hadn't
been fred.
,England's opinions are not exactly
unanimous on the subject of the 1St.
Hon. Winston, but they are certainly
positive. Everybody agrees that
whatever he is he is superlatively
that. Wherefore the Introductory re
mark of Ambassador Page-introduc-
ing him as principal speaker at the
weekly session OF the American
Luncheon Club todsy-opeued up
staggering possibilities for the imagi-
nation.
IL Very Stoop-SkouIdered.
when we consider" said the am
bassador. that he is only half Amer
ican, we can't help wondering what
he would have accomplished had he
been wholly American!"
A sandy-haired. eye-bTowed, and
complexioned man rose when the
cheers and laughter had subsided.
His round face looked youthful, but
his hair was worn thin as IL by hard
thinking and his shoulders stopped
as though they carried thu weight of
century. This stoop Is the muni-
tion minister's most striking physical
characteristic. A yardstick touching
both the back of his head and his
shoulders would register an angle of
45 degrees. And yet he looks vigor-
Gus and strong.
The speech he delivered, as read IN
the evening papers, is a profoundly
eloquent oration. As heard across the
smoke-flled banquet room OF the Sa-
voy IL was something less. Carefully
written orations sometimes are like
little folks; they should be seen. not
heard. Perhaps this thought occurred
to Lord Northcliffe sitting next to
the speaker. for he left before
Churchill ended, possibly preferring TO
read the finished article in the proof.
May Yet Become Orator.
II TO others this sounds unkind, IT
won't to Churchill, for it has not been
long since he was a journalist and
every journalist who has become a
statesman will tell you he can't help
writing his speeches with a view 10
how they will look in print rather
than how they will sound when de-
livered.
At that. being still young. Churchill
may yet become a great orator. He
has one thing in common with Demos
thenes-a lisp. II leads him 10 say
English langwish' and ''little shat
tered shtates," but in his case, as N
it can't keep him
down.
He will yet be prime minister-ifl
his sun hasn't set.
