Theodore Roosevelt. He undertook the
making Of peace between Japan and
Russia. He sent an American repro
sentative TO the Algeciras Conference,
though this country had nothing 20
do with the disputes which were set
tied there. His action then was like
serving notice upon Europe that he
had to be reckoned with in all her
large international affairs. On every
occasion presented to him, Mr.. Roosc-
welt spoke up for the idea OF Il
Greater America, welding an influence
coextensive with the globe. And there
cannot be any doubt that if fate had
been less unkind to him and hai
placed in his hands the conduct of the
World War and the fixing OF the
terms of peace. he would have glorled
in the new responsibilities which il

summoned his felow-countrymen 10
