TO REBUILD FRANCE

To reconstruct the destroyed DOT tons of France archtecturally as they were before they were ruined by the Germans is the purpose of the French government as outlined by Bernard J. Shoniger, formerly president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Paris.
 The French government plans to accomplish this by reimbursing in dividuals for their shattered homes, mills and factories according to their value before their destruction, MT. Shoninger recently told the executive committee of the Phila- delphia Chamber of Commerce.
 Ultimately, he said, Germany will pay the bill for restoration.
 Throughout the war, he added, French boards of appraisers have been estimating the values of prop erty destroyed by the Huns and now have accurate data. To those who desire to rebuild, the French gov ernment will issue indemnity bonds up to 80 per cent of the former value of his property. While the external appearance of the build ings rebuilt will be retained, Mir. Shoninger said, the interiors will be in modern, sanitary style.
 Referring to the fact that the French government has made ar engagements to purchase materials for reconstruction by pooling or combining it's orders, he suggested that American manufacturers would be asked to supply some materials and that they promote the forma- ton of selling combinations so that possible huge orders for construc- tiona materials from France could be rapidly assimilated.

CAMP DICK |S GREAT SCHOOL
 FOR AWAI0RS

{ DALLAS, Tex-More than 25,0OO flyers have won their wings" at Camp Dick, the greatest concentra- tion camp in the United States since last January. This was re- vealed for the first time in figures made available by the end of the war
 The Dallas camp. while neither a ground school nor flying school was the neck of the bottle through which practically all aviators who have entered the service since its establishment, Jan. 30, 1918, have passed. It was designed as a place in which the morale of the aviators could be maintained while the men were in transition from one stage of development to another.
 Men came to it from the five chief ground schools, Princeton, Cornell and the Texas, Illinois and California universities. The length of their stay depended upon the room available in the flying fields to which they were sent as soon as possible. Unless they could be sent direct to the advanced flying fields, they were kept at Camp Dick to await assignment. Thus the men were able to keep up their studies in military atmosphere during pe- riods when they could not be cared for at the schools.
 The success of the plan is shown by figures of the men enrolled. Since the camps opening there have been registered 7,9Os flying officers, 321 notifying officers, 49 medical officers, 18,O66 flying cadets, two enlisted squadrons of 300 men, a medical detachment of 90 men and quartermasters detachment of 15 men. The camp, which was con- ceived and established by Colonel E. z. Steever, is now commanded by Captain 'Ormsby McCammon.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT

Colonel Roosevelt's career has left such vivid impression upon the sary to touch but briefly upon some of the more striking phases of his varied, interesting and ''strenuous' life to recall to the public mind full details of his many exploits and experiences.
 Called to the White House in 1901 after President Mckinley had been assassnated, Col. Roosevelt, 42 years of age, became the young est president the United States ever had. Three years later he was elect ed as President by the largest popu- lar vote a president has received.
 Thus Roosevelt, sometimes called man of destiny, served for seven years as the nations chief magis- trate. In a subsequet decade the fortunes of politics did not favor him, for again candidate for president-thst time leading the Pro gressive Party which he himself had organized when he differed radi- cally with some of the policies of the Republican Party in 1912-he went down to defeat, together with the Republican candidate, William Howard Taft. Woodrow Wilson, Democrat, was elected.
 Col Roosevelt's enemies agreed with his friends that his life, his character and his writings repre- sented a high type of Americanism.
 Of Dutch ancestry, born in New York City on October P, 1858, in house in East Twentieth Street, the baby Theodore was weakling. He was one of our children who came to Theodore and Martha Bull loch Roosevelt The mother was of Southern stock and the father of Northern.
 His father, glass importer and man of means, was his constant companion during his youth, and he was tutored privately because of his delicate health. At the age of IT he entered Harvard University. There his puny body underwent a metamorphosis and before gradua- tion he became one of the champion boxers of the college This remark able physical development was em- 'phasized by something which took pl;re shortly after he left Harvard m 1880. He went to Europe, climbed the Matterhorn, and as result was elected a member of the Alpine Club of London-an organization of men who had performed notable feats of endeavor.
 A few months after his gradua- tion, Roosevelt married Miss Alice Lee of Boston. She died in 1884, leaving one child, Alice, now the wife of Representative Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio. In 1886 Roose- welt married Miss Edith Kermit Carow, of New York, and to them five children were borR---Edith, now the wife of Dr. Richard Derby, and four sons, Theodore, Jr., Kermit, Archibald and Quentin.
 The public career of the man who was to beccme President began not long after he left college. His pro- ifession was law but the activities .hat were t. cume left him no time m which to practice it. In 1882, 1883 and ol he was elected to tbe New York State Assembly, -vher, his efforts on behalf of good cove ment and civil service reform .++raceod attention. When the Re nublic :, National Convention of ,a94 was held in Chicago. he was cbairr '. nf the New York State deleGati n.
 After this sperience he dropped out of politics for two years Go

! ing West, he purchased ranches along the Little Missouri river, ir North Dakota, and divided his time between outdoor sports, particularly hunting, and literary work. Here he laid the foundation for his series of books, "The Winning of the Vest which was published in 1889 to 1896, and of other volumes of kindred character.
 1 Returning to New York he be- came the Republican candidate for mayor, in 1886 He was defeated. President Harrison in 1889 ap- pointed him member of the United States Civil Service Commission and President Cleveland continued him in this office, which he resigned in 1 1895 to become New York's police commissioner
 ! Honesty was the watchword of this administration, and the two years of his occupancy became me morable through the reforms he inaugurated, attracting the nations attention while holding a position ! which was obscure in comparison with the events to come. The repu- tation he established as reformer won him the personal solicitation by President Mckinley as assistant secretary of the navy, in 1897. A year later the Spanish-American War broke out, t... | The Roosevelt temperament did not allow the man to retain a dep- uty cabinet position with war offer ing something more exciting; Leon- ard Wood, now a major-general in France, was then President McKin- ley's physician and one of Roose- velt's staunchest friends.
 The famous Rough Riders were organized by Wood and Roosevelt, and Wood became their colonel and Teddy their lieutenant colonel. In company with the regulars of the army, they took transports to Cuba, landed at Santiago and were soon engaged in the thick of battle. Among the promotions which this hardy regiments gallantry brought 1 about were those of Wood to briga- dier-general and Roosevelt to col onel,. Some of the Rough Riders formed the military escort when he was elected President few years later.
 When Cuba had been liberated Roosevelt returned to New York. A gubernatorial campaign was in full swing, with the Republican Party in need of capable candidate Roosevelt was nominated Van Wyck, his Democratic opponent, was defeated. The reforms Roosevelt had favored as assemblyman he now had the opportunity to con- sumate, together with others of more : importance, and it was during this administration that he is said first to have earned the hostility of COT. porations.. When the Republican national convention was held ir Philadelphia in 1900 his party ir New York state demanded and at tained his nomination for vice president on the ticket with William Mckinley. In November of tha' year this ticket was elected.
 The policies of Mckinley, Roose welt endeavored eU carry out aftel he succeeded the former upon tho | Presidents tragic death at the hand of an assassin. Roosevelt retained his predecessors cabinet as his owr and he kept in office the ambassa dors and ministers whom McKinle!
 had appointed. As much as tw'
 years before the Presidential cam
 paign of 1904, Republican organi
 cations in various states began en
