that it would have been -"well-nigh
criminal to have done otherwise"
Charges were frequently made. with
some color of truth, that Roosevelt
was aiming at a third term. On De-

of November s, 1904, in which he had
said: ION the 4th of March next i

Sent Fleet Around World.

| A significant part of the Presi-
dents foreign policy was the send
ing, by executive order, of the
greatest American naval fleet ever
a assembled on a cruise around the
world. This was begun on Decem-
Der 16. 1907. when the fleet steamed
out of Hampton Roads, on the first
lap of the trip. around the Horn,
and up the Pacific Coast. The ships
| completed the cruise virtually with
out accident, and did a great deal
to increase our prestige abroad.
Progress of the work on the
Panama Canal was one of the great
events of Roosevelt's second term,
as the beginning of that project had
been of his first term. Congress de-
cided finally upon the lock type of
canal in June. 1906, and work was
pushed from that time. At the
I close of Roosevelt's second admins
tration, nearly half the necessary
excavations had been completed.
In connection with the Panama
Canal and its original acquisition
from the French company, several
newspapers published a story to the
effect that Douglas Robinson, a

Organized Rough Riders.

When he found out that he could not
obtain that he turned his attention to
a proejct which had long been a ia
vorite with him. This project was the
recruiting of a regiment of trained
horsemen. cowboys of the plains ana
polo players and fox hunters of the
East. He threw himself enthusiast
tically into the work, and the regi-
ment was soon full. His influence
secured the appointment of colonel for
Leonard Wood, an army surgeon with
whom he had formed close friend
ship.
The regiment was mustered into the
service as the First United States Vol
unteer Cavalry. but its popular name
the Rough Riders" at once became
accepted as the more fitting title. The
regiment was recruited at San An
tonic, Texas, whence it was trans
ferred to Tampa to await orders.
When Cervera's fleet locked itself in
Santiago harbor. Roosevelt became
convinced that the first land fighting
was to take place at that point. He
secured the attachment OF his rest-
ment to Gen. Skaters command, and
when the latter were transferred to
Cuban soil It was Roosevelt's prompt
action that secured for his men the
most coveted passage on army trans
ports, when other less fortunate regi-
ments were compelled to remain be-
hind until all the fighting was over.

A SHAMPOO W'cPTH Trying

1T is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently II it is en-
tirely and properly cleansed each
time by the use of a really good sham
poo. The easiest to use and quickest
drying shampoo that we can recommend
to our readers is one that brings out all
the natural beauty OF the hair and may
be enjoyed at very little expense, by
dissolving a teaspoonful Of canthrox,
which can be obtained from any
druggists, in a cup OF hot water.
This makes q full cup OF shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply
it to all the hair instead of Just to
tie top OF the head. This, when
rubbed into the scalp and onto every
strand OF hair. chemically dissolves all
impurities. 1t is very soothing and
cooling In Its action. as we'll as bene-
fetal to both scalp and hair. After
rinsing out the lather so created, you
will find the scalp is fresh, clean and
free from dandruff, while the hair dries
quickly and evenly. developing a
bright luster and a soft fluffiness that
makes seem very heavy.-Adp.

two artists served France AZ soldiers In
the war. They were sent to this country
last December for an American tour au-

French High Commission. Under au-
spices OF the French American Associa-
ton for Musical Art they gave q concert
soon after their arrival here at Carnegie

Their recital yesterday was heard to
much better advantage than the one
they gave before. owing to the favorable
acoustics OF the smaller hall for en-
semble music In sonatas by Handel.
Mozart and Beethoven they played with
sympathy and understanding and always
serious effort to make clear the spirit
OF the composers music.
Their ensemble work shows q knowl-

It sometimes lacks finish In moro elab-

his playing much better than before. The
