hangs by narrow ribbons from ring.
Bow. loops and rings decorate the
cush on at the bottom, making place
for several sizes of safety pins. A
bow and long end conceal Il common

Might Be At a Disadvantage.

There is yet another reason that is
having some influence on the senate,
and it is the knowledge that Great
Britain, France and Italy have ratified
the treaty and can put ii into effect
as to themselves any day by filing
their notices of ratification in Paris.
1t is asserted that the United States,
since it intends to accept the treaty,
would be plhced at some disadvantage
if the treaty should go into effect as
to those three major nations In Europe
before 1t became effective as TO this
country.
Congress as a whole is more de-
termined than ever to retain n cOnsid
erable authority in connection with the
administration of the peace treaty and
the work of the League of Nations. 1t
will take this authority through legis-
latiOn which is now befng prepared.
1t has been finally decided that leg
islation shall provide that no appoint
ments under the treaty are to be made
without the approval of the senate.
This rule will even be made tn apply

League of Nations.

ty of the public to the open-window
treatment. Apparently it is necessary
to compromise with the patients rela-
Dives on this score. There is, of course,
no objection to airing the room while
it is empty. The windows should be
closed when the patient returns, to al
low him to undress. and the bed should
be- as far as possible from the open
window, with its foot turned toward
the latter. The window should be wide
open after the patient is abed. How
ever, it is advisable to establish toler-
ance by raising the window but short
distance the first night and increasing
it gradually, There are various de-

CYCLIsT UNITS WON PRAISE
HAw the "Petro Cavalry" Did Its
Part in the Crushing of the
Detested Hun.

During the recent actions in France
the military cyclist units have won
well-earned praise. London Tit-Bits
says.
When it is remembered that we'll
trained military cyclists can cover go
miles day on average roads and
come into action fit at the end Of the
ride something of their advantage over
cavalry can be realized. Cycles. un-
like horses, do not tire rapidly, and.
furthermore. require neither food nor
drink.
In a rearguard action. when whole
armies are falling back into new posi-
lions, it is difficult to send up supplies
to horses. and even the transport Of
infantry in omnibuses causes conges-
ton of the traffic. Cyclists. on the
other hand. can literally "get through
anywhere"
The men are all skilled riders. and
practiced shots, and, above all. well
trained in map reading and finding
their own way. Carrying the normal
equipment of cartridges on their per-
son and further supply 90 each ma
chine. they come into action quickly
and bring their full fire power to bear.
1t is now 80 years since military
cyclists were officially recognized
among the official forces of the crown,
but it was never thought that they
would play such q valuable part as
the Petrol Cavalry" has done in this
great struggle.

The Roosevelt "Life' by William Roscoe Thayer

veals that he was with Roosevelt at the
home of Judge Robert Grant in Boston
on the evening of February 25, 1912.
Judge Grant asked, "Will any of the
party leaders support your and Roose-
welt replied, mo, none of them; not even
Lodge, l think. don't see how he can"
The next day Roosevelt publicly an
nOuneed his candidacy for the Republican
nomination. Thayer says that he, leav-
ing Judge Grants house on that memoir
able evening, did not realize then the
moral depth from which Roosevelt's re-
solve came, or that he would rather die
for that cause than be victorious In any
other.n
vi.
Thayer believes it to be indispatable
that if the Roosevelt delegates at the Re-
publican convention had not been ham,
pered in voting they would have nomi-
mated him. His feeling about the bolt is
the same that Roosevelt entertained. The
figures of the election of 1912, says
Thayer, proved that Roosevelt, not Taft,
really represented a large majority Of
what had been the Republican party.
Therefore it was the Taft faction
which, in spite of the plain evidence given
at the choice of delegates and at the
convention itself-evidenee which the
machine tried to ignore and supress-it
was the Taft faction and not Roosevelt
which split the Republican party in 1912"
As Thayer sees the thing, the Republican
machine was the betrayer.
His Judgment that Roosevelt's finest
qualities were displayed during the world
war has already been indicated. Many
will give heed to the sober opinion of
this historian that if diplomatic relations
with Germany had been broken when the
Lusitania was sunk, as Roosevelt urged,
Germany would have hastened to make
peace and the war would have been over
by the summer Of 1916. The final chapter
is decidedly critical of President Wilson.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT: AN INTI-
NATE BIOGRAPHY. By WILLIAM
Roscoe THAYER. Boston: Hougbton Milf
fin Company.
The sun., 1919-10-12

Y
w dore Roosevelt into single
printed vOlume-or into many volumes for
that matter-attempts the impossible. A
djinn was imprisoned in bottle on oeca-
sion, but Roosevelt is beyond confine-
ment; there is too much of him. The task
of his biographer is therefore more than
ordinarily an adventure in slection and a
test of ability to appraise.
This of course makes him all the
more fascinating a subject for the ambi-
tiOus historian. The flow of books about
Roosevelt since his death amounts to a
rushing stream. Most of the writers have
wisely restricted themselves to special
phases or points of view. The results in
each ease have been interesting; the dull
est mind could not, touching such life,
make them less than that. But now
comes man competent to view the career
of the great awakener as whole and to
tell us what he sees.
The only fault likely to be found with
William Roscoe Thayer's Theodore
Rooserelt: an Intimate Biography is that
it is not sufficiently critical. Perhaps in
anticipation of this he tells us in his
preface that in correcting the last proofs
he perceived "that some of those who read
it may suppose that / planned to write
deliberate eulogy of Theodore Roosevelt.
This is not true. I knew him for forty
years, but I never followed his political
leadership"
II.
1t further develops that although their
friendship, which began at Harvard,
where Roosevelt was a year ahead of
Thayer, was close and continuous. Thayer
began to question Roosevelt's public ac-
ton as long ago as the National Repuhli-
can Convention of 1884 and did not cease
to do so until the beginning of the world
war. In common with great many others
who are glad that they had a chance to
confess their mistake while the Colonel
was yet alive, the Cambridge historian and
observer seems TO have halted in his adj
miration for his friend at the threshold
OF. politics. This being true, it is doubly
significant that Thayer's final estimate is
so high he fears the reader may suspect
him guilty of deliberate eulogy."
Studying the Roosevelt of the years of
war he was compelled to revise, to east
away indeed, his previous Judgment.
"After the outbreak of the world war
in 1914" Thayer says, che and thought
alike and, if l mistake not, this closing
phase of his life will come more and more
to be revered by his countrymen as an
