TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH ls
AS SEEN By ROOSEVELT.

When Theodore Roosevelt made
His famous hunting trip to Africa
And on his return visited the princl-
bal capitals and courts of Europe,
the world was ignorant that a great
MAR was brewing. Probably many
Of those who played conspicuous
pnarts in that war were ignorant OF
the possibility, and certainly none OF
them realized the manner in which
it would involve practically the en-
tire world. .RooseveN's description
of his tour across Europe. as given
in a letter to a friend. is now being
published, ana the observations of
the great American. made under the
circumstances which surrounded him,
have peculiar interest at this time.
In the installment recently pub
lished are given R~oosevelt's impress
siohs of the development Of Social
Ism in Sweden and Denmark. OF the
former he says:
Il was saddened to see how Social
ism ,had grown among the people,
and in a very ugly form: for one of
the Socialis: tract vas an elaborate
appeal to stop having children; the
Socialists being-so bitter in their
hatred as to welcome ace suicide as
q means of Stacking it. Personally
as Sweden has not only free but al
most democratic institutions, L could
not understand the extreme bitter
hess of the Socialist attitude, and in
viaw of what at that very moment
the Russians were doing in Finland,
I felt that any weakening of Sweden
in Russia's face came pretty near be-
ing a crime against all real progress
and civilization"
OF the situation in Denmark he
writes:
II was rather puzzled TO find that
the very great growth of what I
should call the wise and democratic
use of the powers of the state to-
ward helping raise the individual
standard of social and economic
well-being had not made the people
more contented. It seems TO me that

problem of agricultural whll-being,
