There will be another touch of aim
plicity about the funeral Instead OF
national characters, Statesmen and the
like. being pall-bearers, the actual carriers
of the body OF the colonel will be men
from his own estate laborors with whom he
used to chop down trees, his gardeners
and Others of humble rank. At least this
was the plan last evening. II was then
the intention that there should not even
be delegation Of honorary pall-bcarcrs
with high-sounding titles.

Tho services at the home. Mt the church
and Mt the little graveyard will all be
conducted by the Rev. George T.. Tai
mage, pastor Of Christ Church. And
there will be no flowers, If the wishes OF
Col. Roosevelts nearest kinsfolk arc OBJ
served
All these efforts to preserve a family
atmosphere are by direction OF Mrs.
Roosevelt, and arc reflective of her char
actcr, for however fiercely the white light
of publicity beat about her husband (and
however much he might have enjoyed it)
she was always retiring and averse to
notice.
First of the family to know Of her
husbands dc,th-the only one OF the
family in the house, for the FIVE children
were all away-Mrs. Roosevelt received
the shock with splendid fortitude and 80
steeled herself TO courage that she went
through all the day without anything like
breakdown 1t was she who notified
her children OF their fathers passing. she
who calmly arranged for the burial, and
she who received and consoled such of
the grieving offspring who were able to

WHISKY SUPPLY IS LOW.
l13, ,152, ,796 Gallons on Hand, Just Half
Of Normal Stock, When Distillerics
Stopped.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 7.-Just
113, 152, ,796 gallons OF whisky and other
spirits remained in bonded warehouses
in the United States, January /, a little
more than half the quantity ia reserve
when distilation was stopped Is months
ago, ~ cording to reports received today
from revenue collectors. Prospects of
an increased tax rate on liquors in the
pending revenue bill has stimulated deal
ers to withdraw liquor from bond at
double tic usual rate for the last three
months.
With allowances for sbrinkage and
evaporation of liquor stored in barrels,
revenue officials estimate that not more
than IO0,OOO,0OO gallons actually re-
main, although the books show more. On
September o. 1917, when distillation was
stopped by the Food Conservation act,
approximately 2OO,000,0O0 gallons were
held in reserve in bonded warehouses.
On most of the quantity taken out since
then tax of $3.50 a gallon has been
paid, or about s270,0O0 G00-enough to
run the Government four days IN war
times.
Despite the heavy Withdrawals in tho
past three months--about I0,500, 900
gallons in December, 0,500,000 in No
vcrnber and 8,35s000 IN October--reve-
nue. officers now believe that at least

Everyone who has lived in the country
knows how farm families, not so many
wears ago. always had their own burial
grounds. There is family called foungs,
old residents of Oyster Bay, who nearly
a century ago established such little
reservation. In later years the surviving
members Of the line have permitted their
friends to purchase plots. Col. and Mrs.
Roosevelt one day not long after he had
auitted the White House walked through
the Youngs cemetery and selected and
purchased a plot, where, they decided,
both should rest when their time came
and their children, too, should death

probably was his last message to the
public II follows:
IL cannot be with you, and so all
can do is to wish you godspeed. There
must bo no sagging back in the fight
for Americanism merely because the war
is over. There are plenty OF persons
who have already made the assertion
that they believe the American people
have a short memory and that they in
tend to revive all the foreign associa-
tions which most directly interfere with
the complete An ericanisation OF our
people. Our principle in this matter
should bo absolutely simple. In the
first place, we should insist that if the
immigrant who comes here does III good
faith become an American and as
Stimulates himself to us he shall be treated
on an exact equality with every one else,
for il is an outrage to discriminate against
any such man because of creed or birth
place or origin.
"But this is predicated upon the mans
becoming in very fact an American and
nothing but an American. If he tries
10 keep segregated with men of bis own
origin and separated from the rest of
America, then he isn't doing his part
as an American. There can be no divided
allegiance here. Any man who says he
is an American, but something else also,
isn't an American at all We have room
for but one flag, the American flag, and
this excludes the red flag, which symbohzes
all wars against liberty and civilization
Just rs much as il excludes any foreign
flag of a nation TO which we arc hostile
We have room for but ono language here,
and that is the English language, for we
intend TO see that the crucible turns our
people out ms Americans, of American
and not as dwcllers in a
polyglot boarding house; and we have
room for but one soul loyalty. and that
j. loyalty To the American people"
