SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.--In
the quiet confines Of the Pacific
Union Club, elderly members of San
Francisco's first families today will
give grave consideration to the
question of a funeral cortege for
an added old man, who died fifty
two years ago.
Nortin I he was, emperor of the
United States and protector Of
Mexico, by right of his own procla-
nation
And the swashduckling early sons
Of San Francisco, who hanged their
evildoers in the public plaza without
formality of trial and settled their
personal quarrels by shooting on
sight, accepted his currency, and
obeyed his dictates for more than
a decade.
1t was their whim to acquiesce
gravely to the wishes that arose in
his disordered mind.
In any other city or generation,
Norton would have been confined to
an asylum.
This old man, short of stature,
full bearded, pompous in a latter
demalion long coat with brass but

hat with an enormous cockade,

in France and his coming will be
the starting point for business re-

mainly in the field of diplomacy.
The new year will see the re-

Germany, and France will be
menaced, though an invasion will
not actually occur. There will be
much trouble in the Orient.
The early months of 1888 will

stables, John especially, for he's
the fondest of horses of any one
ever saw.
Every one comes in for lunch,
and afterward they do anything
they like. The boys are allowed
to use the cars on the place, and
they often go up to Barrytown to
visit Lyman Delano's children,
Warren, Fred and Bobby.
"Then they burst in al teatime
at 5, and eat so many sandwiches
and pieces of cake we're always
afraid they'll spoil thier dinners.
Dinner is at 7:3O. No, I guess

forego them in the evening.

DIRECTLY after dinner is the
II favorite home hour for the
Roosevelts. When the children
were younger, their mother read
aloud to them regularly; first fairy
stories, then Kipling, Hawthorne,
Walter Scott.
Mrs. Roosevelt has low and
resonant voice, with an arresting
dramatic quality. The children
were very fond Of poetry, but
much better than reading it was
to hear it from her lips.
Often they talked-in thought
full, spirited conversation adroitly
directed by the parents. Their
daughter and sons seldom guessed
that they were being schooled in
intelligent social discourse.

DARTIES, as such, rarely have
Il been given at the Hyde Park
house. For one reason, the
Roosevelts dislike the deliberate
type of party" formality; and for
another, the routine there is
rather like a continuous house
party anyway.
Most of the guests stay for
week-ends, and the children's
friends are treated exactly like
members of the family. IF any
one ever charged us with aloof-
ness" Anna said, "the impression
would be due to the fact that we
actually had more fun together
than with outside groups"
Their religious education has
not been stressed past the point of
voluntary interest. The family
are Episcopalians, and Franklin
Roosevelt, incidentally, will be the
ninth Episcopalian President.

used to. Why, I remember when

continued, II think they're very
fine. Not extraordinary, you I'M
derstand, but very fine, indeed.
And intelligent, like their parents.
Il always said that the reason
the Governor was especially well
educated was because he was
brought up at home, with good
tutors, and Travelled a great deal.

Roosevelt was educated in Europe,

I do"
1T was morning, and Mrs. James
4 Roosevelt had been looking at
some old photograph albums in
her little sitting room off the main
hall of the big house.
Graciously and without apology
she had received the reporter
while she was wearing little
lace cap and negligee. After a
while she would dress for the
afternoon, when Lady Astor and
some friends were driving up from
New York. Just now, however,
she wanted to talk about the

But they were. Mrs. Roosevelt
believed families all too often
confine their Small-talk and con-
ferences to wholly material things.
None of the youngsters played
any musical instruments, though
their grandmother recalls that

deal of talent before he success

lessons.

the ancient pastime of peeping at
hole-cardS and filling inside
straights.
But the family plays hearts or

ton, since six or seven persons are
usually to be included in an eve

solitaire or crossword puzzle.

U.S.. Pays Billion for Its
Philippine Experiments
Freedom to Islands viii Be
Costly Present for
Uncle Sam.

BIZ Scripps-Hotcdr Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-If con-
gress makes the Filipinos Christ
mas present of their independence,
it will be the most expensive Christ
mas present in all history.
The Philippines have cost the
United States approximately one
billion dollars, plus the lives OF
nearly 5000 officers and men.
This does not include the expense
of sending Admiral Dewey's fleet
to the far east nor the cost of the
battle of Manila bay. That was
part of the Spanish American war
and would have happened no matter
what followed.
Fearing Japan or some European
power would seize the island if left
to themselves after SPANS defeat,
the United States took them over,
paying $20,000,000 therefor.
Insurrection Was Costly
That was in 1898. Shortly there
after General Aguinaldo, who had set
up a Philippine republic, began an
instruction. 1t took two years to
put this down and 100 900 American
troops.
The cost of the insurrection to
the United States amounted to
SITS. 900 900. A total of 4.165 Amer
lean officers and enlisted men either
were killed in battle or died of
wounds or disease.
Since that time our defense of the
islands has cost American taxpayers
either $800000,000 or $550.000 1000,
depending upon the way you look
at it.
The United States maintains a
garrison of about $4,000 in the
Philippines. OF these, some 5000
are United States regulars and 1000
are Philippine scouts. But all ex-
penses are paid out of the United
States treasury. The naval eStab-
lishment costs about 100000 a
year.
Near 500 Millions
Now, If you calculate that if it
we're not for the Philippines, the
army would be just that much
smaller, then the cost to the United
States, in the third Of a century Of
occupation, would amount to some
thing like $800,000,00
If, on the other hand, you figure
that the army would have been
maintained at its present size re-
CARELESS. the cost would be around
$3.50, 100000.
The Philippines maintain the
resident commissioners at Washing
ton. They receive the same salary as
congressman and are paid by the
United States.

FRANCE CUTS
OWN THROAT
BY DEFAULT
Colossal BIunder on War
Debt Opens Way for
More CaIamitieS.
CHANCE FOR GERMANY
Berlin Now Can Toss Pact
of Versailles Away,
Deny ReparationS.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Com-
ing as it does while the whole
world is tottering, politically and
/ economically, the French default is
seen here as the most sinister de-
velopment since the World war
France. by her action, has cut
her own throat. Unless she can find
a way hastily to repair her colossal
blunder, she will have shown Ger
many the way out frfom under not
only reparations, but the whole
treaty of Versailles.
If France can take the law into
her own hands, and by unilateral
action brush aside international
agreements. Germany may decide
to do so as well.
Opens Way for Germany
Acting in accordance with French
precedent, Germany may announce
that she has decided to take
equality" in ornaments without
waiting for France, the League of
Nations or anybody else to grant
it.
Frances action likewise strength
ems the position of Japan in Man
churia. Japan now is defending
, herself at Geneva before the League
of Nations-of which France is one
of the two major apprehension
having violated international agree
ments.
Because of the international ten
sion Frances insane behavior has
brought upon an already jumpy and
shellshocked world efforts at arms
reduction, it also is feared, will be-
come more difficult than ever.
The united 'front.' between Great
British and France, on war debts,
it is. believed. almost will certainly
be ruptured by the French default.
Sentiment Swings to Britain
Sentiment here is increasingly
favorable to Britain because of her
very real sacrifice in meeting to-
days $95,O00,0OO payment. This is
now made all the more so because
of Frances petty behavior with re-
gard to her mere $19,000,000 pay
ment. For Britain, therefore, to
persist in her war debt partnership
with France seems unlikely.
The writer never has seen Wash
ington in such a serious mood as it
is today. Officials regard the mat
ter as far too dangerous to tamper
with by offhand comment. Respon-
sible circles, therefore, maintain the
silence of the tomb.
There have been other defaults, it
is admitted, but never before has
there been a deliberate default of
a firsc-class power as in the case of
/ France.
Passions on RiSe
French politicians have created a
sort of anti-war- debt-payment pub
lie opinion Frankenstein Sc terrible
that it is devouring them. Herriot
may be only the first victim. Any
thing can happen now. Passions
are on the rise.
Just 102 years ago France and
the United States were on the point
of war over a situation almost
identical with this. France owed,
and promised to pay, this country
less than $5,00O,0O0 for damages to
American shipping.
Then, as now, the French cham
Der of deputies refused to pay it
and when asked to do so by Presi-
dent jackson, France considered
herself insulted. War was averted
only by the narrowest of squeakS.
