BURIAL
T0N0RR0WA At
BIRTHPLACE

NEW YORK, Feb. 8 1NSN.
Arrangements were made today
for the funeral at Clinton, N. Y,
tomorrow of Elihu Root, distin-
gllished lawyer and statesman,
who died at his home here on
Sunday morning Of pneumonia.
Funeral services will be held in
the chapel of Hamilton College,
Roots alma mater and burial will
be in the family plot at Clinton.
No honorary pallbearerS have been
named, and only close friends of
the family will attend the services.
Root had been i'll for only a
short time, but his great age-he
would have been 90 years old on
February 15-made it impossible
for him to rally against bronchial
complications which followed
cold. With him when he died
we're his two sons and daughter,
Elihu Root. jr.: Edward wales
Root, and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant,
I'd. of Washington.
Lehman in Tribute
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman was
among many who paid tribute to
Roots services to the nation.
Mr.. Root left reputation as one
Of the greatest thinkers of his
time. He served as Secretary Of
War in President McKinley's Cab
met and Secretary of State in Pres
ident Theodore Roosevelt's Cab
met. He won the Nobel Peace
Prize in 1912 and was a leader in
the peace movement during his
last few years.
BY his friends Root was conSid-
cred brilliant intellectual; by his
enemies conservative and reac
tionary. But little was known Of
his sardonic wit and the story of
his Cabinet days with President
Roosevelt and Secretary of War
Taft.
They called themselves the
"Three Musketeers" and signed
themselves AthoS for Root. Por.
tr1os for Taft and Aramis for Roose
velt.
Born in Clinton
Roosevelt once asked Root how
Serbian prince could be distin.
guiShed from an imposter. Root
replied:
1.-THE best method to tell
whether a Serbian prince is
genuine is to place a piece Of
litmuS paper in his mouth. If
the reaction is acid, he's genu-
Inc Serb.-ATHOS."
Root was born on February IS
1S45, at Clinton, the third son OF
Prof. Oren Root, of Hamilton Col,
lege.
Graduated from Hamilton Col
lege at 20, he studied law at New
York University and received his
degree in 1867.
AS Secretary Of State under
President Theodore Roosevelt, he
obtained the "Gentlemans agree
n1ent" from Japan by which ia
pan promised to limit immigra-
ion into the United States.
U. S. Senator in 1909
Root became U. S. Senator In
1909 by vote Of the legislature.

He served six years. In that pc
riod he broke with Roosevelt and
sided with Taft in the famous

In 1920 Root drew up the for
mula which led to the World
Court. For years he fought un-
successfully for United States
participation.

BRITAIN
STUDIES ARMS
EXPANSION
BY KINGsBURY SMITH

LONDON, Feb. 8 GN.SD.-1n a
desperate effort to restore the
might of Britain's fighting forces,
before Europe is plunged into an
other general conflict, Great Brit
ain may increase its armament
expenditures during the coming
fiscal year by $3O0,O00,000.
Reports we're current in parlla-
mentary quarters today that the
government would seek approval
for such an increase in the near
future. The British nation Is
already spending approximately
$1,000,0O0,000 a year on rearma-
ment and national defense.
The question of floating a ma
tional defense loan, to finance
speeding up of the rearmament
program, also was being considered.
Such a loan would be accom-
panied by a vast publicity cam
paign, by which the British people
would be told that the peace Of
Europe and the whole world de-
pend upon the rapidity with which
Britain rearmS.
AS long as Britain's army and
navy, especially the latter, remain
below par, the British foreign Of
flee heSitates to take a strong
stand or call European dictators'
bluffs in the international crisis,
which are forever arising.
This cautious attitude is due
largely to pressure from the lords
of the admiralty, who insist that
the British navy must not be in
VolVed in any grave risks Of con
flict with a powerful adversary
until its full strength has been
restored.

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 13.-Football
players from 10 Florida high
schools, the cream of the crop, ac-
cording to the opinions of news
papermen throughout the penin-
sula, were named Saturday to po-
sitions on the All-State team of
1897.
The team, selected by members
of the Florida State Sports Writ
ers Association, an organization
which includes scribes on 43 Flor
ida newspapers, lists not IL, but
II players. The 12-member team
was necessary because of a tie be-
tween Hubie Houston, st. Peters
burg and Bill Cowan, Daytona
Beach, for the fourth backfield
position.
In the backf;eld with Houston
and Cowan are Milton Lefty
ScheTner, Miami Highs brilliant
captain, who polled the largest
number of votes of any back, and
two Jacksonville standouts, Virgil
Dinginan, Robert E. Lees Bound
ing Gnome," and Andrew jack
sons Julius Sloat.
Si4gularly honored by polling
the aFeatest. number of votes of
any bayer in the state is Bill Rob
insor Orfand6's great center.

Er4s on the first team are Cecil
Reed, foot / inch, 172-pounder,
who was a standout throughout
the season at Clearwater, and Guy
Hompkins, star for Hillsborough's
Terriers.
Franz Warner, Tallahassee's
great star, and Herbert Robson,
another of Hillsborough's stub
born forwards. are the tackles.
Warren tied with Schemer for the
second highest number of votes
with927.
The guards are two Miami lads,
but from different schools. Mi
ami Edison, Big Ten champion for
the second straight year, contri-
buted c. w. Tirsley, 185-pounder,
who was a main factor in the titu-
lar drive of the Cardinals. The
other guard spot goes to Joe San
some, 178 pound stalwart, from
Miami High. The guards, strange
ly enough, are the only non-grad-
uatirIg members of their teams, all
other players being seniors. Fins
ley and Sansone are both Juniors.
Seventy six players from
schools of every size are named on
