WORKS IN one of the thousand square,
hlgh celinged rooms in the State, War
and Navy Building, with maps of
Europe and ocean routes around him,
a bronze bust of John Paul Jones on
the inevitable mantelpiece and his COM
mission from President Wilson framed
on the wall. His desk is considerably

Al one corner is a vase with fresh
flowers: His books, in little stand
near his chair, are a Wcbster's Una

bound reports.
War has its way of developing ex-
perts of all kinds. Roosevelt is an
expert; but he started acquiring knowl-
edge long before he went into the navy
1T may have been the wrong kind Of
knowledge; indeed, he has confessed
IN one OF his numerous articles on the
navy that when he came to Washing

over again. But so many Washington

unmportant part in shaping the policy
of the navy. He is generally looked on
as the navy's labor expert. The younger

the sea, confident of American sea-
power, look to him for leadership and
understanding of their cause.
Face Set With Confidcnco
Roosevelt has bearing that even
William Faversham might envy. His
face is long, firmly shaped and set with
marks of Confidence. There are faint
wrinkles on a high, straight forehead.
Intensely blue eyes rest in light
shadow. firm, thin mouth breaks
quickly TO laugh, openly and freely.
His voice is pitched we'll, goes forward
without tripping. He doesn't disdain
shedding his coat on hot afternoon;
shows an active quality in the way he
jumps from his chair to reach the
cigarettes in his coat. He is a young
man. young man with energy and
definite ideas, as we'll as definite OBJ
iectivc, who can be generous and fair.
but firm to his own cause. He recalls
Conrad's description of the young
Malay war comrade' in Lord Jim: I'm

In the mocking humor OF the Capitol,

Mr.. Roosevelt was member Of the
