infinite pains in acquiring knowledge Of
International questions. and his out
standing comprehension of interna-
tional law. marked his service in this
difficult pos: as equal to any and be-
yond most of the distinguished men
who have occupied that Office.
He was for many years president OF
the Carnegie Endowment for Interna-
tional Peace and he has long been one
of the foremost advocates Of intrna-
tional arbitration. He solved every i'm
portant international controversy in
which the United States was then in
volved without compromise Of any
American right. He added greatly to
our reputation throughout Latin Amer
lea. and when he left the State Depart
ment. the United States was not only
at peace with every nation. but uni
versally respected by governments and
people throughout the world.
One OF Mr.. Roots remarkable
triumphs was in connection with the
Alaskan boundary arbitration. There
were three arbitrator, representing
Canada. Great Britain and the United
States. the latter MIR. Root. In view

pened. however. after the arguments
were concluded and the arbitrator met
for discussion, was that Mr.. Root. with
his irresistible logic. was able to win
over the British arbitrator and the con-
tentions of the United States were sus-
tained-probably one of Mr.. Roots
greatest achievements.
Mr. Roots argument before The
Hague Tribunal In the North Atlantic
fisheries case has been said to be "a
rare. II not the only, instance OF a
statesman appearing as chief counsel
in an international arbitration. which.
as Secretary of State, he had prepared
and submitted"
Then came his service for six years

has been often said that no Senator in

he was too old. but others felt differ
emily, and his name was presented to
the Republican national convention.
There was time when 1t seemed prob
able Mr.. Root would be nominated.
Men from every section of the coun-
try we're urging 1t. and the feeling Of
pride In putting forward this outstand-
ing American statesman appealed
strongly to the intelligence and con-
science of the party. But finally, and
before Mr.. Roots real strength was re-
vealed In the balloting, 1t was decided
to nominate another great American
inent. and his speech in Carnegie Hall
during the campaign which followed
was one OF the most forceful and bril-
liant Of hts many political addresses.

He delivered in 1907 the Dodge lee
lures on citizenship" at Yale Here
he disclosed his intimate knowledge of
the workings of our form OF govern
ment and his lofty conception of
American citizenship. its purpose, Its
privileges and its inherent obligations.
He prefaced his lectures with tribute
to William Earl Dodge that is singu-
larly apt in relation TO himself: His
life was better lesson in the respon-
sibility OF Christian citizenship than
any lecturer can put into words; for
he did what we write about and he
proved what we assert" No man can
read those lectures and apply their
teaching and not be a better citizen
and better American.
Just what manner OF man Is this
lawyer and lawmaker this statesman
and diplomat: this great citizen OF a
great country?
First Of all. he possesses one OF the
supreme attributes OF greatneSs-sim
plicity. He never poses; he never seeks
acclaim: he never grants interviews FOL
the press, and he welcomes modest Sc
clusion. Scholarly. cultured. renneo
he Is lover OF art. student OF the
best literature and a master OF pure
English. whether in the spoken or the
written word.

If the tourists who go to Alaska are benefit to the Territory, the personal contact which you have given carries a value which is ines tlmable. Not single instance :n the splendid trips we made to Ai- aska stands out so wildly as your Kindly personal interest. This is more evident as time goes on and the other incidents of the trip are forgotten or become misty in our memory" c. R. Curtis, Denver Colo.

RED CROSS PROVES
 ITS CLAIM, HUMAN
 RELIEF AND SUCCOR

Volunteer service is the life of the
 American Red Cross, which, says it's
 annual report made public by the
 local chapter owing to energy
 and devotion of workers through
 out the country the production of
 large stock of garments, surgical
 dressings and comforts for disabled
 service men and disaster sufferers, i as well as other forms of aid.
 Alaska chapters produced 50 gar
 ments in the last fiscal year, enei-
 ing June 30. Five chapters main-
 tained emergency closets of gar
 nents and surgical dressings, ready
 for release on call.
 Trained volunteers are a neces- sary part of the Red Cross organi- zation. In American territory, the
 women who give freely of their
 time to the Red Cross produced last year a total of 253, ,O4O garments and 2,276,621 surgical dressings. This was in addition to the unlisted thousands of garments made for the Mississippi Valley and Vermont flood sufferers.
 These statistics, the report ex- plains, are not complete, as much IOf the work done by volunteers $ not reported What the volunteers contribute in spirit to keep chap .ters active and flourishing in small communities, where all forms of service must be done by volunteers, is another thing that may not be measured or counted. Yet such figures as arc obtained give an i'm pressiVe picture, according to the report, of the various activities of the volunteers
 Red Cross workers knit scarfs and sweaters and make pajamas for sick veterans, who are not sup piled with these comforts in Gov- ernment hospitals; cut, sew gar ments for the relief of disaster vic tims and make and fill Christmas bags for veterans in hospitals and | for soldiers and sailors on insular and foreign duty. The canteen | corps serves hot food during local | disasters and makes jams and jai- lies for sick veterans. The motor | corps goes into action in disaster, | and gives outings for disabled vet erans. Health aids, trained in home care of the sick, assist trained nurses at children's clinics ard | baby conferences and in time of | apidemics. Women volunteers n veterans hospitals do general ser vice, helping with letter writing and personal errends The han1- copying of Braille writing for the blind is a well established service.
 Last year, incomplete statistics show that 29,358 volunteers cid canteen work throughout the Unit ed States, while 25,375 answered motor corps calls. Volunteers also made 33,097 Christmas bags, and i 029 transcribers copied 150,7o5 pages of Braille, representing over $50 books.
