Bill EJACKE ETS GUESTS OF
LONDON AFTER ARMISTICE

London, Dec. 5.-(Correspondence
OF The Associated Press).-Seven
| hundred American bluejackets were
nightly the guests of the people of
London, after the armistice was sign
ed and they could be spared from the
duty Of chasing submarines for a
| look ut the city.
TIE hotels were so crowded that
the only bedroom the city could offer
tie sailor boys was some Vaulted hall
in pablic building. The favorite
sleeping place was the handsome
building known as the Law Courts
where the Strand joins Fleet street,
a central location. Here, as the
Chronicle described it, "Uncle Sam
tucked himself to sleep in the Great
Hail."
It was strange picture these sailor
lads made, lying comfortably in the
room where British justice had so
long been administered. But they
were not impressed with the dignity
Of their surroundings. One corner
they dubbed the divorce court" One
of their more dignified members they
dubbed the divorce court One of
their more dignifed members they
dubbed the Lord Chief Justice"
laughing ard joking they made the
great building ring with their fun.
It's not as good as a hammock,
but darn sight more stable than a
destroyer" remarked one to his
mates as they ate their breakfast
A ID the rest agreed
The arrangement was made by or
der of the Lord Chancellor, who,
leaning that the Young Mems Christ
ian Association and the American Red
Cross had been hard put to find quar-
ters for the boys, rendered the use
OF the Law Courts. Cards were has
tily printed, and dispatched to the
stations where the sailors were ex-
pected to leave their trains. Each
card clearly explained how the Law
Courts could be reached, and in addi-
tion told the story of the building
from the time the cornerstone was
laid. AS the sailors entered, each
man was told to sign the register,
with his home address, and it is the
purpose Of the officers to have these
registers bound and placed among the
archives of the Law Courts.
The movement for the entertain
ment of the Americans also included
the use Of Westminster Hall in the
Parliament building if it became nee
essary.

FEW ESCAPE

There are few indeed who escape
having at least one cold during the
winter months, and they are fortu-
nate who have but one and get
through with it quickly and without
any serious consequences. Take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and OBJ
serve the directions with each bottle,
and you are likely to be one of the
fortunate ones. The worth and mort
of this remedy has been fully proven.
There are many families who have al
ways used it for years when troubled
with cough or cold, and with the
very best results.

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE
AS RESULT OF EARTHQUAKE

San Juan, Porto Rico, Dec. 3d.
Correspondence of The Associated
Press).-Loss of 200 lives and $5,-
100000 damage to property as the
result of the earthquake shocks here
in October and November, was due
chiefly to the poor construction of
buildings along the west coast of the
island, in the opinion of Henry Field
ing Reid and Stephen Taber, mem
bers of the Seismological Commission
sent by the Federal Government at
the request of Governor Yager to in
vestigate and report on the disasters.
Shocks of similar nature have
occurred in the past in Porto Rico
and may occur again, in the opinion
of these experts, but the possible loss
that may be caused can be greatly re-
GYccd by the erection of shock-resist-
ing structures, their report states.
The members Of the commission are
noted geologists. DR.. Reid is from
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore,
while Dr. Taber is from the Univer-
sity of South Carolina, at Columbia,
s. G..
The shocks which occurred here,
in intensity than that which occurred
in California in 1908 or the Charles
ton earthquake in 1886. In their re-
port to Governor Wager the gealogists
say in part:
I've believe the earthquakes were
due to fractures of the rock in the
northern part Of Mano Passage not
far from the northwestern part of
the Island of Porto Rico, and that the
fracture which caused the shock the
shock of October II (the first of the
series) was accompanied by small
vertical displacement of a very linn
tied area of the sea bottom causing
the sea wave which rose along the
shores soon after the shock. Dis
placements of this kind are not un-
common, and portend no great dis
aster to Porto Rico
"The damage done by the shocks
was greatest in the western part of
the Island and diminished progress
sively, though not uniformly, toward
the east. On soft alluval soils it was
greater than on more solid founda-
tions in the same neighborhood.
"The character Of the construction
of the buildings was responsible for
the great destruction wrought. Well
made reinforced concrete buildings
suffered ITO serious injury even in the
regions where the shock was strong
est Wooden buildings and the small
native huts, by yielding to the shock,
were not damaged
Suggesting types of buildings cap
able of resisting the shocks, the geol-
ogists say: "Steel frame structures
and reinforced concrete buildings are
are strongest; the best cement should
always be used. Brick houses, where
the best cement is used, are fairly
strong. Wooden houses are entirely
safe.
"All strong earthquakes are fol-
lowed by after shocks, which gradu-
ally die ont in strength and in num-
ber. The after shocks here have
grown infrequent and very light.
There is certainly no special reason
for expecting another strong shook
in the near future"

EX-PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
DIES THIS MORNING
Continued from page one)

Theodore Roosevelt, besides being
a prolific writer, lectured and made
public speeches extensively, not only
in his own country but in England,
Spain, South America and other parts
of the world.
When the European war began,
Roosevelt vigorously advocated a pol
icy Of national preparedness, urging
universal military training for the ma
tion's youth. In speeches throughout
the country and in his magazine and
newspaper writings he criticized, in
this respect, the policies Of Woodrow
Wilson during Mr.. Wilson's first term
as President.
With the United States belliger-
ent, Roosevelt endeavored to obtain
the consent of the War Department
to establish an Army division which
he was anxious to take to France.
This division was to have included
many of the Rough Riders who were
his associates in the campaign in
Cuba, and younger men of the same
strenuous habits. The necessary per-
mission for the formation Of suoh a
force was not forth coming even
though Roosevelt expressed willing
ness to accompany it as subordinate
officer.
One of Roosevelt's participations in
public affairs took him to Washing
ton in January, 1918, when he con-
ferred with United States Senator
George E. Chamberlain Of Oregon and
other members of congress who were
critical of the administrations meth
ods of prosecuting the war. Roose-
Welt on this occasion announced his
support of the proposal that war
cabinet be organized to take over the
conduct of the war.
Denied the privilege of fighting for
his flag, Theodore Roosevelt's interest
was centered on his family's partici-
patton in the war. His four sons and
his son-in-law, DR.. Derby, carried cat
a prediction made by the former pres
ident before the United States took up
arms-that if war came they would
enter service. Theodore, Jr., became
Major and Archibald a captain, both
in France; Quentin entered a French
aviation squadron and DR.. Derby the
medical service, also both in France.
Kermit, failing to pass a physical ex
animation which would admit him to
the United States Army, received
commission in the British Army and
was soon in Mesopotamia.
Roosevelt took keen pride in the
service button he wore with it's five
stars. Talking with newspaper men
some months after his boys had gone
abroad, he told them privately that
Theodore Roosevelt had written him
that he had been in action and that
bullet had struck his trench helmet
and glanced eff; Theodore wrote
home, his father said, that he regret
ted he had not been wounded just for
the experience. At the time of this
conversation, public announcement
had just been made that "Archie" had
been jumped in rank from second
lieutenant to captain. Roosevelt con-
fded with glee to his listeners that
"Archie" had led raiding party out
into No Mans Land at night, and that
the promotion had been won by gal
lantry under fire during this raid.
The Colonel disclosed further that
Kermit, fighting with the Anglo In
dian forces, also had been under fire,
as the leader of "a troop of Whirling
Dervishes," Indian cavalry.
