ROOSEVELTS TO
BEGIN BIG HUNT
Depart on Leviathan; to
Be Joined by Wives in
Himalayas Later
(By The Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, n. Y, April 11.-De-
parture of the Leviathan for Southamp-
ton at noon today marks the beginning
of journey which is to carry Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt and his brother,
Kermit, into the widest jungles of Cen
trail Asia on hunting expedition for
the James Simpson Field museum.
From England the oRosevelts and
others joining the expedition will go to
France and thence to india. In India
they VIII strike out for the North, where
lies the game country they seek. A
strong bodyguard of natives will ac-
company the party.
According to plans, the Roosevelts'
wives will meet them upon their return
through pass in the Himalayas in
Northern India. 1t had been a part of
the plan that they should accompany
their husbands and spend the summer in
Northern India but the idea was aban-
doned because Mrs. Kermit Roosevelt's
baby was considered too young to be left
behind for that length of time.
Because of the immense amount of
work involved in their hunt for rare
animals for the Field museum in Chi
cago, 1T is not certain that the party
VIII be able to return this year.
