Leaves Many Memorials
 to Interest in Service in
 Navy Department Records
fContinued from Page One)

He recalled many letters written on this subject by the American naval attache at Paris, then lieutenant, now Vice Ad- miral Sims, and declared that this young officer alone seemed to realize fully the deplorable state of the navy in this re- gard on the eve of war.
 Subsequently,, as President, Mir. Roose- welt signalled out Sims and placed him at the head of naval gunnery, which re- suited in development of the present high standards of craftsmanship in the Amer ican navy.
 The keen study given to naval mat ters by the former President while as- sistant secretary was shown in his first message to Congress which included more than 100 specific recommendations as to the navy Finally he sent the Atlantic fleet under Rear Admiral (Fighting Bob Evans on it's meroS rable cruise around the world, the first and last voyage of it. kind ever undertaken by any battle fleet

APPOINTED GENERAL WOOD

But Colonel Roosevelt's interest was
 not confined to the naval service alone.
 During his first administration he suc-
 ceeded in having Congress enact the first
 general staff act and he promptly ap-
 pointed as organizer and first chief of
 staff Major General Leonard Wood, now
 the ranking line officer of the army. MT. Roosevelt had laid the founda tion for the staff by taking General Wood, tten a surgeon, from the medical service. and appointing him commander of the famous regiment of Rough Riders which the former President organized at the outbreak of the war with Spain and
 with which he served throughout the war, first as lieutenant colonel and later as
 colonel, having been promoted for gal lantry.
 Some army officers said today that the importance of this first, though ncom- plete, victory over the bureaucratic sys- ten that had always ruled the war de- partment was shown by the fact that it was not until now, with all the ex- perience of the great war as a founda- ton, that the department was prepar- ins with hopes of success to submit to Congress a bill providing for full gen. eral staff control and responsibility for all army matters.

INUTRED WHILE BOXING

The strenuous physical activities in which Roosevelt engaged at the White House included boxing. It was not until about eight years after he left the White House that it was disclosed that during one of these bouts, which he welcomed as a means of keeping him in fighting trim, a blow was landed by a sparrinS opponent which injured one of the colo nePs eyes. Later blindness of this eye developed.
 In the later years of his life two court suits, in which he figured in one as plain- tiff and in the other as defendant, wln- ming them both, kept Roosevelt before the public eye. During the presidential cam paign of 1912 a Michigan editor charged him with intoxicaton. Roosevelt instl- tuted a suit for libel and marshalled a notable host of witnesses to testify re- gardng his private life and habits. Their testimony was so overwhelming that the charge was withdrawn in open court ana the jury brought in nominal verdict of six cents in favor of the eX-Prestdent. William Barnes, Jr., of Albany N. 1., accused Roosevelt in 1914 of uttering a libel in a statement asserting that the "rottenness' of the New York state gov ernment was due directly to the domi- nance of Tammany Hall in politics, aided by MT Barnes and his followers At Syracuse, N Y, in 1915 the jury's ver- dict acquitted Roosevelt.
 When the European war began. Roose- welt vigorously advocated a policy or national preparedness, urging universal military training for the nations youth In speeches. throughout the country and in his magazine and newspaper writings he criticized, in this respect. the poli- cies of Woodrow Wilson during MT. Will sons first term as President.
 MT. Roosevelt. it has been said, was keenly disappointed when he did not receive the republican nomination for President in 1916 At the same time, however he refused to follow the advice of some of his stanchest followers that he again head the progressive party tick et Instead he prevailed upon the pro- gressive party to make Charles Evans Hughes the republican candidate it's own choice

OUT FOR TWO YEARS

After this experience he dropped out of politics for two years. Going west, he purchased ranches along the Little Mis- souri river, in North Dakota and divided his time between outdoors sports, parti- cu1arly hunting, and literary work. Here he laid the foundation for his series of books, 'The Winning of the West" which was published from 1889 to 1896, and of other volumes of kindred char acter.
 Returning to New York he became the republican candidate for mayor, in 1SS6 He was defeated President Harrison in 1889 appointed him a member of the United States civil service commission and President Cleveland continued him in this office, which he resigned in 1895 to become New York city's police com missioner.
 "A thing that attracted me to this of- flee" Roosevelt said at the time he ac- cepted this appointment, twas that it was to be done in the hurly- burly, for don't like cloister life" Honesty was the watchword of this administration and the two years of his occupancy be- came memorable through the reforms he inaugurated, attracting the nations at tention while holding a position which was obscure in comparison to the events vice in general-of these evils he purged the city in the face of corrupt political opposition, and the reputation he estap- lished as a reformer won him the per- sonal selection by President Mckinley

 Roosevelt after leaving the White House devoted his life largely to liter ary work, hunting and exploration. He became contributing editor of The Out look in 1909, continuing this for five years, and later held editorial positions with the Metropolitan and the Kansas City Star From 1882 to 1917 he published about 50 volumes of works covering the wide range of naval history, hunting. biography, the Rough Riders, American ism, nationalism, conservation of wom- anhood and childhood, animals, explora- tion, the world war and Americas par ticipation in it, and his autobiography. His hunts for big game and his zest for exploration took him into the Amer ican west, the heart of Africa and the wilderness of Brazil.

This was in 1910 At the head of an exploring party in South America in 1914 he discovered and fol- lowed for 600 miles a Madeira river trib- utary which the Brazilian government subsequently named, in his honor, Rec Theodore. This was the famous River of Doubt called because in many quarters considered authoritative it was questioned whether Roosevelt was the this journey the President contracted 8 jungle fever which was held indirectly responsible for the abscesses which devel- oped indignantly and required several operations at the Roosevelt hospital in New York city in 1918.
 Theodore Roosevelt, besides being 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. The facility with which he made politi- cal enemies and followers made him a marked man for both the bitter and friendly attention of cartoonists and par agraphers. Quaint and picturesque phrases were coined literally by him and by others concerning him. Speak soft ly and use the big stick" weasel words "pussyfoot," ''mollycoddle, and my hat is in the ring" were some of the Roose- veltian expressions which attained wide DuhlicitV

shortly after he left Harvard in 1880. He went to Europe, climbed the Natter horn, and as result was elected a mem- Der of the Alpine club of London-an organization of men who had performed notable feats of adventure.
 A few months after his graduation, Roosevelt married Miss Alice Lee of Bos- ton. She died in 1884, leaving one child Alice, now the wife of Representative Nicholas Longworth of Ohio. In 1886 Roosevelt married Miss Edith Kermit Carow of New York, and to them five children were born-Edith, now the wife of pr. Richard Derby, and four sons Theodore, Jr., Kermit, Archibald and Quentin.
 The public career of the mal4 who was to become President began not long after he left college. His profession was law, but the activities which were to come left him no time in which to practice it.. In 1882, 1883 and 1884 he was elected to the New York state assembly, where his efforts on behalf of good government and civil service reform attracted attention. When the republican national conven- tion of 1884 was held, in Chicago, he was chairman of the New York state del- egation.
