to have its centre in America, and
he gave to his country his unstint-

beginning Of the great world war
seemed to me like the words of a

responsible for the attitude which
America came to take. 1t has been

historian will recognize as one OF

did and streye to do should prove
source Of encouragement and

1 cannot help but recall at this
time the cordial relations l had
with him in 1902, during the an

solution of that strike d knowl-
edge of and intimacy with human
nature and al, ardent desire for
human rights that made it all the
easier for the settlement to be

ALFRED F. MARLLNG:
In the death Of, Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt the country has lost
one of its most noble an useful
citizens. He had served the coun-
try with unusual ability and with
a devotion second TO none. He was
a true American, loving his coun-
try with hole-hearted devotion.
His courage, his ability, his self
sacrifce was always at the service
Of tie country. He will be sadly
missed in the councils of the ma
ton. Our people will never forget
the patriotic services which he so
notably rendered. During the war
Colonel Roosevelt saw clearly the
issues at stake, and expressed his
views with vigor and ability.
