+. r. Gets Into Action;
Waves Hat and Laughs

As the marchers passed by there was
a sputtering Of applause. Handclaps,
now and then a cheer, an occasional
shout. Then T. r. got into action.
First of came his hat ut the first sign
Of applause for marchers in his group.
Seizing 1t firmly in his hand, he waved
It or simply started 1t in the general
direction Of the upper spaces, holding
1t aloft at an aGle of from sixty to
ninety degrees. He would weave little
circles and patterns in the air with It.
And doing 20, the Roosevelt jaws
spread open, a laugh wreathed his face,
barred to the vision Of onlookers
It's different laugh from the first

title in Cuba, laughed with his teeth
closed, or nearly 50. as bulldog
honors in France laughs like a boy

square and wide, his back fiat. 1t Is the
back Of a soldier. But the walk is not
that Of a soldier. Far from it. Instead
of long, swinging, easy stride, the
steps are quick and short. Emphatic,
clicking along, perhaps a nervous walk
Add to these qualities Of character,
personality and appearance the quality
Of "mixing." and you have a mental
picture Of II. r. I'd.

latch string Is ever out. You see him

Newspapermen who "covsr'' the
Navy Department find they can walk
in on him almost any time. He con.
suits regularly with two or three
whose judgment and experience he finds
valuable. Sometimes they stay for an
hour. In this characteristic young T.

Never Runs From Fight:
Likes the Smoke Of Battle

There are two kinds Of honesty the
honesty Of the man who won't steal for
fear Of getting caught at It: and the
larger honesty that is above trickery,
above deceit, above insincerity and
guile and knavery. Young T. R., say
those who know him from close con-
tact, is fundamentally honest In the
larger sense.
"Of course" they say, 'hs plays
politics. But there's nothing petty
about It. He won't play cheap tricks
for political advantage. He will make
friends. and perform favors, and plan
campaigns. and make speeches. He's
a politician IN that sense. But he's

Josephus Daniels. when he becam,

cere and unconcealed dislike for n par.
tlcu!ar type Of naval officer who re.
garded himself as superior to common
clay. better than his fellows, above the
civilian. Daniels did not hesitate tc
indicate his dislike for such assump
tions. He had no use for men who
were "upstage." whether in uniform o,
out. He developed an open hostility
toward the snobs and martinets in the
navy and did much to humanize and
democratize it during his service in the
Cabinet.
But he never made up with the
type OF officer described. The two never
got along.
With r. r. 1t is different. He sees
their point of view. Whether he sympa
thizes with it or not. he mingles with
them as official duty requires, gets along
with them, makes friends Of them and
wins their respect and loyalty. On the
other hand he gets along with all others
