IN HIS SLEEP AT HIS HOME ON
SYCAMORE HILL
Ex-Presidents Life Ends Peacefully After Many
Months Suffering With rheumatism. Fun
eral to Be Held Wednesday.

OYSTER BAY, N. u, Jan. g.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt died in his
sleep early today at his home on Sag
amore Hill in this village. Death is
believed to have been due to rheuma-
tism which affected his hearth.
The Colonel suffered severe at
tack of rheumatism and seiatica 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 IL
o'clock last night
The exact time of Colonel Roose-
. Wits death was 4: is a. m. as nearly
as can be determined, for there was
no person at his bedside at the mo-
ment he passed away A minute or
two before his attendant, JAMES
kAnos, the young colored man who
has been in the employ of the Colonel
ever since he left the White House,
noticed that the patient was breath
ing heavily in his sleep and went to
call nurse.
FORMER PRESIDENT DEAD.
When he returned with her the for
ner President was dead. Mrs. Roose-
welt was Immediately summoned.
Mrs. Roosevelt telephoned to Col.
Emlen Roosevelt, cousin of the for
fner President, and he came to the
Roosevelt home Immediately. Tele-
grams were dispatched to the Col
oners children who were in other
parts of the country. Two OF the Col
onel's sons, Major Theodore Roose-
welt, Jr., and Captain Kermit Roose-
welt are in service abroad. Capt.
Archie Roosevelt and his wife left
New York last night for Boston,
where the Captains wife's father is
i'll. Mrs. Ethel Derby and her two
children are in Aiken, S. c.
kilograms of coincidence and sym
pathy began to pour in from all parts
) af the country today as soon as the
news of Colonel Roosevelt's death
became known
The former Presidenr came to his
home on Sycamore Hill from the
Roosevelt Hospital on Christmas day,
but a week later was stricken with a
severe attack of rheumatism and
sciatica, from which he had been suf-
fcring for some time. The rheuma-
tism affected his right hand and it be-
came much swollen. He remained in
his room and efforts were made to
check the trouble. Last Saturday the
Colonies SECRETARY, Miss Josephine
Stricken, called to see him, but the
Colonel was asleep in his room.
Flags were placed at half mast in
Oyster Bay today.

al was officially announced today as

EASY PREY TO DRUGS

The government, as result Of re
cent Investigations concerning tn
use of narcotic drugs reports tha
native born Americans possess les
self-contrcl in the use of these pois
ons than do the foreigners in thi
country, and that except among thos
races with whom the use of opfu'
and hashish is national habit, til
use Of drugs is more widespread her
than anywhere else in the world.
This warning should strike home
American hearts, whose very lightne.
makes them the more easily subjee
to this destroying habit.
In the course of it's report the gov
ernment makes plain the great dan
ger in narcotic medicines for the 81
deviation Of pain, and re-iterates the
oft-repeated warning to physician:
and patients as to their use.
With our national weakness brough
home to US in these uaaatterin
terms, it becomes more than ever ou
duty TO obtain wider understand
inS OF the danger and harm that Ii
III the use Of the drugs. and to exer
our influence sinely and collectivel,
to aid in checking it.

WORLD LABOR PLATFORM.

Mr.. Gompers, as head of the Con-
mittee on International Labor Legis-
lation at Paris, recommends these fiyc
points for inclusion in the peace
treaty:
1. The Ideclara alton, as contained
in the Clayton Act, that the labor OF
a human being should not be consid-
cred as a commodity or an article of
commerce.
2. An international maximum
eight-hour working day.
8. A standard and adequate living
wage for all labor performed.
+. Equal pay for equal work per-
formed by n.2n Or v-eman in equal
quantity and of equal uality
5. Prohibition of child labor
1t is an American program, in in
spiration and substance. Americans
will admit sorrowfully that our own
country is not yet perfect in these
particulars; nevertheless we seem to
be farther along in the establishment
Of fair and humane labor conditions
than any other country in the world.
It will be an honor to America if
the peace treaty does Incorporate
this platform. The essential thing,
then, will be. for the League Of Ma
tons to take up the matter as one Of
its prime interests, and work toward
tablishing such standards through
out the world.

A JOE FOR CONGRESS.

The proof of the pudding is in The
eating. and $4,000 soldiers have Al
ready signified their eagerness to
eat alive the farms provided fSr
them in Secretary Lanes plan.
The bill proposing the appropri;--
ton for these farms, as is we'll re-
mcmbered, was one of those shelved
in the hurried days Of the last con-
gressional session. 1t was felt by
many people at the time that this
was one OF the measures most neces-
sary TO pass; but take it all in all,
it was not a bad thing. Secretary
Lane has had time to re-write his
proposal, celebrating and completing
it. and the new bill will be better
than the old There will be, too, a
better understanding of the plan by
people in general. AID the incontro-
vertiblc testimony Of thousands Of
soldiers in its favor cannot be disrc-
garded.
Should the bill become Il law in
stead of merely {, prospect, the NUM-
bers desiring to avail themselves OF
it would increase greatly.
When the new congress convenes,
here is bit of constructive legisla-
ton all ready to begin on.

Siberian Army
Defeats Bolshevists
Advance on Wide Front Endan-
gers Bolshevik Position

London, April % british Wirelessl
The Siberian army Of Admiral Kol-
chak's government. in making an ad-
vance of 100 miles in five weeks on
the Cral front, has achieved a success
which endangers the entire Bolshevik
position in eastern Russia. According
to advices from Omsk the SiberianS
are now within 100 miles of the Vol
ga, the most important river Of Rus
sia. and the successes on the River
Kama in the center Of the 400 mile
front, make untenable the BolShevlk
positions east of Volga. The Bolshe-
vik troops opposed to the allies in
north Russia and those facing General
Denekine in south Russia are affect
ed seriously By the advance.
The Bolsheviki had clunS obstinate
ly to Sarapul southwest Of Perm, and
its capture together with much war
material a number Of Bolshevik lead
ers is looked upon at Omsk as a sue
cess. Both banks of the Kama river
which joins the Volga near Kazar
have been cleared Of Bolsheviki for a
distance of more than 200 miles.

the United States is published pronli-

fact that the German government has
only just been Informed Of the action.
While the news, according to SEMI
official announcement. now is publish
ed to reassure relatives and friends
Of Germans in America, it undouot-
edly is intended to contribute to the.
very general feeling among the Ger

Count Reventlow is an exponent that

Germans of all classes constantly
comment upon the courteous and
considerate behavior Of officers and
soldiers of the American Army Of Oc-

and communications from the Amer

fail to emphasize this. Though dis

hatred and abuse which was veated

on American officers and soldiers to
obviate the possibility of annoyance
to women and to the civil population
and upon absence Of chauvinism, the
atrical displays Of triumph or un-
necessary interference with the Ger

The correspondents chief criticism
Of the Americans is based upon the
strictness with which orders are en-
forced against. the exchange Of gifts,
food or cigarettes between Ameri-
cans and Germans He says that %

CONSTRUCTIVE STATE FORESTRY

* good deal has been said and writ
ten lately about the need for re-
pewing our public and private for
est lands. There is little chance OF
urging. this matter too much. A Few
years back the nation was much STIR
red np over the rapid depletion ot lis
fc-esss. but that extreme interest has
lopsed recently It is time now for a
serious. steady campaign Of educa-
t;cn followed by constructive action.
In recent address before the, New
England Forestry Conference It was
stated that the original supplies Of
pine in the South will be exhausted
!. In 10 years, and that in six years 81
900 mills will go out of existence. The
states along the Great Lakes used to
be large timber producers. Now they
are payang sS.ooe,ooe year in freight
charges to haul lumber and other
needed wood products. in from other
sections Prices have risen so high
that iaanber is. hauled from the West
coast TO New England at a profit TO
the Pacific dealers. Every year New
England cuts twice its annual
Z growth, and even at that destructive
rate it is compelled to import from
other regions more than 80 per cent of
: the lumber it uses, as we'll as consid-
cradle amounts of wood pulp.
Since less than two per cent OF the
mills of the country are working on
public forests, it is evident that the
problem is one of constructive po.-
icy in regard to privately controlled
forest lands. Every State ought to
be looking after the timber land with
in its own borders. It is not a small
matter OF planting a few new trees
here and there 1t calls for q serious
readjustment of such questions rs tax
atien. fire protection, technical meth
eds, labor. etc. 1t is sometime; IN
which every citizen ought to feel him
self deeply interested whether l.t
owns tree-bearing land or not.

take of assuming that she is the
Judge of the application of those basic
principles Of settlement. IT she
were, she would so pervert thelr
meaning and application that she
might find in peace the victory she
lost in war. There is going to be no
such Juggling as that. The Allies are
not only the proponents Of the prin-
ciples, but the interpreters and en-
forcers of them.
When the Germans come to Yer
sailles, then, there will be no argu-
ment about the matter. The terms
of the treaty will not be debated.
They will simply be explained. Then
Germany, after great show Of right
eous indignation and a great outburst
of futile threats. will accept them.
She will 40 more dare to reject
them, with the consequences that re-
lection would bring than she dared
to fight out the war to the bitter end

destined to final defeat The Germans
are great buffers, but they are

bluff is called, as it will be in this
case. There will be a diplomatic col
lapse like last November's military
