 q cannot tell you how much compli- mented I am by your coming in person to give me this greeting. I have never known such a greeting as the people of Milan have given me on the streets. It has brought tears to my eyes, because I know that it comes from their hearts.
 ''T can see in their faces the same things that I feel toward them, and 1 know that it is an impulse of their friend ship toward the nation I represent as well as a gracious welcome to myself. I want to re-echo the hope that we may all work together for great peace as distinguished from mean peace. May I suggest that this is a great deal in my thughts?

It is going to consist for entv and the only thing that can bind small nations together is the knowledge that each wants to treat the others fairly. That is the only thing. The world has already shown that it's prog ress is industrial. You cannot trade with people whom you do not trust and who do not trust you
 Confidence is the basis of everything that we must do, and it is a delightful feeling that these ideals are. sustained by the people of Italy and by wonder ful body of people such as you have in the great city of Milan. It is with a sense of added ragement and strength that I return to Paris to take part in the council that will determine the items of the peace. I thank you with all my heart

the leading figures in American public life. Inasmuch as Colonel Roosevelt had been mentioned prominently as possible presidential nominee in 1920, it was in evitable that his passing should cause speculation as to other candidates.
 Since the republican schism of l9l2 and the return of the democrats to power, Colonel Roosevelt admittedly had befn out of harmony with some elements of his party. Republican leaders asserted the death of the founder of the progress sive party would mean the complete re- union of the republicans. Discussion as to possible standard bearers in 1920 which began with the spread of rumors sev- eral days ago that Colonel Roosevelt was about to announce formally he would not be a candidate, started anew and several prominent senators, influential governors and others were mentioned.
 Democratic leaders paid nigh tribute to Colonel Roosevelt's qualities as leader. and asserted that the opposition had lost the one man capable of carrying the party to victory at the next election.
