In order to relieve the strain, some

that though he has been in the house

PARIS, October 20.-Many factor
les in occupied Germany are closing
at least four days week. Are we
going to see forced unemployment
succeed the voluntary unemployment
OF the last ten months? If famine
sets in there will be street riots.
Such conditions do not lend them
selves to resumption of operation of
delicate, complex machinery such as
Ruhr industry.
Even supposing riots are averted
by organization of food rations, re-
sumption of work still will be diff
cult. Nothing seems simpler at first
sight than to extract coal If the
miners descend into the mines. But
inactivity seriously diminishes a
workers. productivity. In the few
mines that still are operating only
400 Kilograms per man per day are
extracted, compared with 500 kiio-
grams last January. Besides. what
is the good of extracting if it is
impossible to sell?
Transport Dimcult.
The export situation has already

ROOSEVELT'S DUEL
ACCEPTANCE FOUND
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 2O.-Though
the biographies Of Theodore Roose-
welt mention the fact that as a young
man in the west he had trouble with
a French nobleman, it has just been
revealed that the issue with this 9TH
erwise unce1ebrated gentleman act
ually developed formal challenge to
duel Characterfstically, Roosevelt
accepted the challenge, but 1t devel-
oped the Frenchman's threat was
merely a bluff
Proof of the romantic episode has
been brought to light through the
discovery of a letter. hitherto unpub-
lished, which Roosevelt wrote say
ing he was always on hand" If the
Frenchman desired satisfaction. The
letter was found by Mrs. Roosevelt
IN her husbands papers at Sycamore
Hill and was loaned by her to the
Roosevelt Memorial Association
On Dakota Ranch.
It all happened in 1885. Roosevelt.
then twenty-six years old, was be-
ginning his career as a cow punch
er" on his ranch In Dakota, then
known as "the bad lands" The
Marquis de Mores had established an
abattoir at Bismarck The marquis
was about Roosevelts own age. His
full name was Antoine de Vallem-
brosa. He was a member of an Or
leans family, the son of a duke. had
been an army officer. and was lately
married to the daughter of Medora
Won Hoffman, wealthy New York
banker of German descent.
1t seems that an enmity sprang up
between the marquis and Roosevelt.
1t was intensified when Roosevelt de-
livered some cattle to the MARQUIS
abattoir and was offered price
lower than the marquis previously
lad agreed to pay. When the
y. marquis, a short time later, was in
dicted on a charge of numbering Ril-
aey Luffsey. he accused Roosevelt of
urging the prosecution. Joseph A
Ferris, a close cowboy friend of
Roosevelt, was held by the marquis
as being the instigator of popular
hatred against the Frenchman. He
then directed g. letter to Roosevelt
proposing a duel. Roosevelt replied
and, as was his custom, wrote in his
own hand a copy of 1t on the back
Of the marquis letter. 1t was this
letter, together with Roosevelt's re-
ply on the back Of ii, that was found
at Sycamore Hill. -
The letter by Roosevelt, now pub
lished for the first time. follows:
Most emphatically am not your
enemy. II I were you would know

it. for I would be an open one, ana
would not have asked you TO my
house nor gone to yours. AS your
final words, however, seem to imply
threat, 1t is due to myself to say
that the statement is not made
through any fear of possible con-
sequence to me. /. too, you know,
am always on hand, and ever ready
to hold myself accountable in any
way for anything 1 haye said or done.
Yours very truly,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
The MARQUIS letter was dated Sep
tember 8. 1885, at Bismarck. from
the office of the Northern ac:fic Re-
frigerator Car Company. 1t said:
My Dear Roosevelt:
MY principle is to take the buli
active against me and has been in
strumental in getting me indicted by
furnishing money to witnesses ana
hunting them up. The papers also
publish very stupid accounts of our
New York. Is this done by your or
ders? l thought you my friend. III
you are my enemy / want to know
il. l am always on hand, as you
know, and. between gentlemen. 1t Is
easy to settle matters of that sort
directly.
Yours very truly,
'I hear the people want to organ
ize the country. 1 am opposed to it
for one year more at least.
News travelled fast through the
west in those days. Typical OF the
newspapers is an extract from the
Bismarck Tribune, in August, 1883.
The paper said: Theodore Roose-
Welt, the young reformer or New
York, passed through the city yes
Bad Lands. He was as bright and
talkative as ever and spoke of the
great opportunities of the Imperial
northwest with more enthusiasm
most sanguine old-tmer. Mr.. Roose-
welt recently had a slight tilt with
the Marquis de Mores on a cattle
deal, and the story has been exag-
gerated until readers of eastern
papers are led to believe that these
two cattle kings never speak as they
pass by and are looking for each
other with clubs. This is not true"
Nevertheless, stories that a duel
was imminent between the marquis
and Roosevelt were rampant. When
Roosevelt reached his ranch at Elk
horn he showed the marquis letter
to William Sewall, friend. That's
a threat" exclaimed Roosevelt. ac-
cording to a record left by Sewall.
He is trying to bully me. | am go
ing to write him letter. / don't like
to disgrace my family by fighting a
duel. l don't believe in fighting duels.
My friends don't believe in it. But 1
won't be bullied by a Frenchman.
Now, as 1 am the challenged party, 1
have the privilege of naming the
weapons. l am no swordsman, and
pistols are too uncertain and Frenchy
for me, so what do you say if / make
in rifies?"
Roosevelt then, according to Sewall,
said if a duel was fought it would
be with rifles at twelve PAGES, the
adversaries to shoot and advance until
one or the other dropped
Now" said Roosevelt, according to
Sewall, AZ expect he will challenge me.
If he does want you for my second"
Sewall declares he predicted that the
Frenchman would not force the issue.
1t appears that Roosevelts letter was
