COL. THEODORE R00SE-
 vELT DIED MONDAY
The Passing of Roosevelt Removes A Commanding Figure in Ameri- can -BlOOd-ClOt Caus-
 ed Death.

Oyster Bay N Y., Jan. 6.-(Special) Colonel Theodore Roosevelt died in hisA sleep, early today, at his home on Sagamore Hill in this village. Colonel Roosevelt died from a pull monary embolism, which near cost him his life three weeks before he lef: Roosevelt hospital on Christmas Day, t was learned today. Nothing re- garding this approach to death has hitherto become known but 1t was re- vealed today by Dr. Richards in tell ing of the colonels exact condition during his last illness.
 In the same manner as his death was caused today, clot of blood be- came detached from a thrumbosed vein. On the former occasion, howev- CT, the passage of this ciot through the arteries to the lungs or the brain was checked, in time to save the pa tients life.
 Dr. Richards revealed in his state ment that the colonels inflammatory rheumatism, from which he suffered acutely at times, was traceable twenty years back to an infected tooth. This infection spread to nearly all the joints in the colonel's body, as tine years went on.
 Denial WAS made by Dr. Richards of statements which have been published from time to time that Colonel Roose- welt suffered from sciatica as we'll as rheumatism.
 The colonel suffered a severe attack of rheumatism and sciatica on New Years Day, but none believed that his illness would likely prove fatal. The former president sat up most of Sunday and retired at II ocock last night. About four a. m., Mrs. Roose- welt, who was the only member Of the f. mily at Oyster Bay, went to her husband s room and found that he had died during the night.
 Mrs. Roosevelt telephoned to Colonel l fmlem Roosevelt, cousin of the forme., president, and he came to the Roose, Yelt home immediately. Telegrams were dispatched to the colonel's children, who were in other parts or the country Two of the colonel's sons, Captlin Kermit Roosevelt and Major l hnO ROnSnVnlf in ice abroad Captain Archie Roosevelt and his wife left New York last night 1 for Boston, where the captains wife's father is ill. Mrs. Ethel Roosevelt Derby and her two children are in Aiken, s. C.
 Funeral Plans Uncertain.
 Details for the funeral have not been arranged, but an announcement is expected later today. Telegrams of coincidence and sympathy began to pour in from all parts of the country today as soon as the news of Colonel Roosevelt's death became known.
 Recently in Hospital. The former president came to his home on Sagamore Hill from the Roosevelt hospital on Christmas Day but week later was stricken with a severe attack of rheumatism and sciatica, from which he had been suf- fering for long time. The rheuma- tism affected his right hand and it be- c2me much swollen. He remained in his room and efforts were made to check the trouble.

MUTllATE ALLIED
 WOUNDED SOLDIERS
HOIsheyists Brutally Maui With Axes Bodies of Americans.- Great Battle at
 Kadish.

ViIu IAS Aiiiou AIHiy Ol Cuo DVlud, Saturday, Jan. 4.-American troops fighting desperately near Kadish have driven back Bolshevist troops which made an advance there. The Bolshevists also launched attacks on the Omega sector and bombarded the allied front. The Americans came in to battle along the Petrograd road and in the frozen swamps that bor- der it. The battle was fought in snow from two to four feet deep.
 American forces captured Kadish last Monday after 9! display of gallant try that evoked the admiration or the allied commanders. Special care has been taken of the American wounded and 1the bo1y of an Ameri- can officer was taken back 100 miles by sleigh and then shipped to A ch- angel for burial. There were some casualties on Monday, but they were small in comparison to those intlict- ed upon the enemy.
 Heavy Fighting in kadish.
 On Tuesday the Bolshevists opened a terrific fire from three and six-inch guns and launched counter-attack against the buildings held by Ameri- cans in kadish. St not was the sr- tillery fire that the Americans were withdrawn temporarily from the vil- lage. .a The line, however, WIS not taken back very far and the new po- 1 sitioEs were firmly held. The enemy did not occupy KaGish because the barrage fire from the American guns made the place untenable. Shells falling on the frozen ground spread their zones of destruction twice as far as they would under normal con- dltions. Under the protection of ar tillery fire American detachments again swept forward and reoccupiei the town.
 Allied positions on the Omega front near the vill,ge of Pechura were at I@oAC& OJ CAiS CISiliy ycolSlCay. Ilo tack was centered on a Russian na- val brigade which held it's positions, inflicting heavy losses without appa- rently losing mon. On the Volodga railway the Bolshevists nave for the last three days kept up strong artillery fire and have brought up an armored train into action. Little cam, ge ap- parently was done to. the allied posi- tions On the other hand, an allied shell struck an enemy barracks, doing great dam2 ge.
 In this sector allied forces advanced on snow shoes over soft snow a re:- days ego. Beneath the snow was an unfrozen swamp and the men often sank into the mud up to their wsists in spite of their: Arctic tfootgear. The battle with the elements makes the fighting here very difficult.
 BOlsheyists Mntilate Wounded. Further evidence that the Bolshe- 1 vists are mutilating allied wounded and dead came to headqus.rters today in report from Lieutenant Colonel Corberley, who was in command of American forces in the vicinity of Shenkursk on November 29. Amari- cans were the victims, according to the report. A patrol or 60 American soldiers en.l two officers was surpris- ed early September 29 by a force O, about 70 Bolshevists Seven Ameri- cans were killed and seven others were missing after the fight.

A Mere Fifty-Seven Billion.

The sixty fifth congress appropriate
ed fifty-seven billion dollars. The
ffty-irst congress, which was de-
nounced by democratic politicians as
"the billion dollar congress-" appro-
priated 81, O35, 686,921. The war lasted
nineteen months. If it had lasted four
years it is evident that the United
States would have been "busted," for
the money spending was just getting
well underway when the armistice was
signed, and the outlay has been in
creasing though the war is over,
from the mere momentum of the
spending habit.
Congress has power to investigate
the expenditures made under these
vast appropriations, granted without
question by the law-making branch Of
government at the demand Of the ex-
ecutive branch under the spur Of war
emergency. The people have a right
to full accounting. They demand it.
They do not begrudge penny of the
legitimate expenditure; they want the
responsibility for every item which
represents waste or worse.
A great hullabaloo is now being
raised by democratic politicians over
"world problems" They are manifest
ly anxious to change the subject. They
are presenting the thought that in the
midst of such an emergency as we now
face it would be wrong to rake up the
'old issues" of the war period. But
the statute of limitations has not run
out on these expenditures either NOR
! ally or legally. This democratic de-
mand to drop the subject may awaken
some echo in certain alleged republic
can quarters. The interests anxious
to prevent any probing are large and
influential.
"Open tn books and turn the ras-
Gals out" These were the democratic
battle cries of an earlier day. They
have peculiar timeliness now, for the
evidence Of waste and worse are piled
mountain high. The administration
has turned a deaf ear to the voice of
| protest. 1t has refused to divide re-
| sponsibility. It has insisted upon run
ming things on personal and partisan
| basis. It is time to demand an &C
counting of the stewardship. It is
the duty Of republican congress to
make and enforce that demand. The
fear that it will do so is doubtless ac-
countable, in part, for the refusal tc
call congress together despite the de.
clared public necessity. But come ear.
ly or come late, it is the duty of con.
gress to go to the bottom of these mat
tiers, fix the blame and suggest the
punishment National Republican.
