Boston, Jan 6.-The death of Col onel Roosevelt caused a shock in New England, though this intimates had known something of his physical con- dition and those who observed him closely at his last public appearance in Boston on May realized that he was broken man, physically.

 By Department Head.

 In his report the patrolman stated that he tried the door, found it lock ed and that a dog in the store parked at him. Other investigators of the Police department have since discoy- cred that the door was unlocked al that time with the catch on the spring lock tied back, and that dog, would not bark at any one.
 No one has ever been arrested in connection with the robbery of the store, although automobile tires and tubes to the value of over s2,660 was taken. Thirty-five large automobile shoes were taken, and also 55 inner tubes.
 No charges have been preferred against Patrolman Luciano in connec- ton with this affair, and he is doing duty.

New York, Jan. 6.---The immediate cause of Colonel Roeseyeit's death was pulmonary embolism, OF lodge ment in the lung of a blod clot from a. broken vein, one of his physicians stated.
 Death, it was said, came to him painlessly as he slept.
 Three physicians had been in at tendance upon the Colonel since he was taken to Roosevelt hospital seven weeks ago to be treated for what was believed to be sciatica. The patients trouble was later diagnosed as in- flammatory rheumatism which, ac- cording to one of the doctors, had af- fected virtually every joint in his body.
 The Co1onei's physicians were Dr. J. A. Taller of Oyster Bay and Dr. J. H: Richards and pr. John H. Hart well of New York City.
 Colonel Reesevelt's last illness may be said to date from last February. On Feb. it was announced that he had been removed from his home in Oyster Bay to the Roosevelt hospital in this city, following an operation on one of his ears. Soon after his arrival at the hospital he underwent tive mere operations for the removal of diseased tissues in his infected ear, and it was admitted at the time that he was seriously i'll. He re- mained at the hospital until March g.
 During May and June the Colonel made a number of addresses, speak ing at Springfield, Mass, and in New York. In June he made a tour of the West during which he suffered a slight attack of erysipelas in one ot his legs, but refused to give up his engagements. Early in November the Colonel was taken to Roosevelt hos pital in this city for treatment of rheumatism and sciatica. While he was in the hospitai reports became current that the Colonel was more seriously i'll than his physicians would admit. Colonel Roosevelt re- turned to his home in Oyster Bay or Christmas Day, remarking as he stepped to the porch that he was feeling bully"

his heroic sons achievement, Coi- onei Roosevelt bore up under the sorrow of his death with a forti- tude that was in keeping with his Il spirit in public life. Friends said, [ however, that while the father "did { not carry his heart on his sleeve,h he suffered most poignant grief in silence and tried to forget it by plunging harder than ever into his work,
 Quentin was killed in combat on July IT, 1918. at Chamery. France. For some weeks previous to eonfir- ] nation of his death, there were re- ! ports that he had possibly been ta- ken prisoner by the Germans and might turn up alive. This suspense added to the distress of the Roosevelt household: When the news of his death finally was officially confirmed General Pershing cabled Colonel Roosevelt that, if desired, the body of Quentin would be removed to America. France, meanwhile, had paid the fullest honors to the dead aviator and the Roosevelt family; declined to accept the war depart ment's offer.
 We greatly prefer that Quentin shall continue to lie on the spot l where he fell in battle and where the foeman buried him." Colonel Roose- welt wrote to General Peyton o. 1 March: After the war is over Mrs Roosevelt and I intend te visit tlla grave and then to haves a small stone put up by us, but not disturb ing what has already been erecTsa 1 to his memory by his friends and American comrades in arms" Colonel Roosevelt had been known ] to be looking forward to his jour ney over seas with mingled feelings of sadness and pride. No plans had been made for his departure. 1t was said, but it was thought that if his 1 condition improved he and Mrs Roosevelt might start some time in May or June.
 Colonel Roosevelt was also con cerned over the wound received in action by his son. Captain Archibald | Roosevelt, which caused paralysis in his arm for which he is now being l treated.

 ARMY IN BAKER ! ORDER |S SEEN
Temporary Officers Seeking Commissions Must Be Let
 Go Owing to Lack of Funds;
 Order Reduction to 233, ,000

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The ques- tion of a permanent military policy probably will be forced before the present session of congress by Secre- tary Bakers order reducing the army to 233,O00 officers and men by Sep tember 30 Military experts here be- lieve only speedy passage of the army reorganization bill will prevent de. moralization of the military establish ment. The recent army bill makes mandatory the continuance of the four new staff corps, chemical warfare, mo- tor transport, tank and air services none of which was provided for in the national defense act. Officers and men must be drawn from the lipz and from the regular staff personnel to provide the necessary overhead for these branches.
 "A return to the status of 1908" was the prediction of one officer concern ing the effects. In that year con- panies could muster only 35 men and regiments frequently were. under one maiCr and one captain
 The general staff already is at work on some program which will come within authorized expenditures and yet permit the retention of a expand establishment which may be expand ed for war
 Primary troop requirements which must be met include:
 Garrisons for the Philippines, Ha- waii and the Panama canal, con- lservatively figured at 50,000 men; a guard for the southern. border, now maintained at 3O,0O0; a force of 5000 on the Rhine, and for the time being at least 5000 men for Siberia
 These total 96,000 officers and men and do not take into consideration the ! hundreds of small garrisons needed at home army posts, which is estimated at 10000 with a further addition for theS coast defenses. War department plans approved as late as March pro- vide 58,000 officers and men for the coast defenses.
 The 23,000 temporary officers who have applied for permanent commits. sions in the regular army must be dis. charged forthwith because of the lack of money.
