ing critically III. Secretary Root hay-
ing resigned from the Cabinet many
months earlier and Secretary Taft be-
ing absent in the Philippines.
"one reads the thick volumes of his
dering on incredulity," writes Mr..
Bishop. 'Tt is incredible that one man
could do, SO much and SO well. In no
other task Of life was the abnormal
energy, mental and physical, OF Theo-
dore Roosevelt put to q severer test
and from none did he emerge more
triumphantly. His activity was as
tireless as his resou-cefulness was in
exhaustible."
The Presidents activity was direct
ed. he said, to mot only steadily and
irresistibly forcing the two warning
nations into a conference but
bringing other nations like England,
France and Germany to the support
of his efforts. II Russia baked and
showed signs of refusal, he persuaded
the Kaiser to bring pressure upon the
Car in the interest of peace. II Japan
showed similar signs, England was
appealed to, to bring pressure upon
her. In the end Germany alone real
ly helped. and Roosevelt gave unstint-
ed praise to the Kaiser ever after
ward for what he did then"
In all OF this correspondence the
Colonel wrote, without restraint or
reservation In confidential letter
to Secretary Hay he referred to the
Kaiser as monomaniac and "a jumpy
creature who has had another fit" In
another missive he thus characterizes
the former Emperor of Russia: 1.-THE
Car is preposterous little creature
as the absolute autocrat OF 100000
900 people,"
Every day, ana, often several, times
a day, he urged the Emperors of Rus
STA and Japan to agree upon terms of
peace. Once he wrote friend: 1.-The
more l see of the Gear, the Kaiser and
the Mikado, the better l am content
with democracy, even If we have to
include the American newspapers as
one of its assets-liability would be a
better term"
While the Conference was in ses-
sion, the President had occasional
doubts of ultimate success. 81 have
led the horses to water" he wrote
but heaven only knows whether they
will drink or start kicking one another
beside the trough"
When victory crowned his efforts,
however, continued Mr.. Bishop, he was
not elated by 1t. King Edward of Eng
land, said of him to the American Am
bassador in London: ~ am simply lost
in admiration for the President; no
body else could have done it." Mr.
Roosevelt's own verdict was: II am
oyerpraised. am credited with being
extremely long-headed. AS a matter
of fact took the position finally did
not of my own volition but because
events SO shaped themselves that l
would have felt as If l was flinching
from plain duty If had acted other
wise"

Mr.. Roosevelt's efforts to end the war

HEALTH OFFICERS REPORT ON CITY'S GARBAGE COLLECTION MADE PUBLIC

What pr. Walter H. Brown, health officer of Bridgeport thought of the ash and garbage collection service given to the city by John T. King Is clearly shown in the report which Dr. Brown has made on conditions here.
 After a survey of the situation some time ago, Dr. Brown began to urge q municipal ash and garbage collec tion service, but authorities at city hall told him that there existed a contract with 6 certain individual to do this work, and 1t evidently didn't make bit of difference to the men at city hall how the work was done Recently the health officer pointed out to the mayor and others just how bad the conditions in Bridgeport were, and Mayor Wilson evidently l changed his views for at recent meeting of the Board of Health, the matter was brought up and the mayor 1 advocated a move to see if King | would cancel his contract
 The report on the subject made l public by Dr. Brown. follows:
 | '"The rapid growth of our city has made the proper disposal of wastes a pressing problem. Consequently, the Health Officer has just completed a careful survey of our own conditions l and the methods employed in other cities. As a result of this study he l is convinced that the time has ar rived for a complete reorganization of our system of waste disposal. You will find below, for your consideration 8 summary of the study together with | recommendations:
 Tt has become one of the prime duties of every city to provide for the proper collection and disposal of ashes, rubbish and garbage. The in-
 creasing compiexity and congestion of our cities demand that this work be based upon scientific principles
 and conducted on modern business lines. In order to accomplish this il
