Oyster Bay, Jan. 6.-Col. Theodorel Roosevelt, 26th president of the Uni- t ted States, who died at his home.on h Sagamore Hill early today, will-be d laid to rest without pomp or ceremony a in Young's Memorial. Cemetery.- in-p this village Wednesday afternoon. He s will be buried on a knoll overlooking n Long Island Sound, a plot which he 7 and M j. Roosevelt selected soon af- 2 t?- he left the White House. In the words of the clergyman who will conduct the funeral -services: "America's most typical man, known in every corner of the earth, will go to his grave as a quiet, domestic, country gentleman, beloved by his r neighbors." A t] After prayers at-the Roosevelt home at which only members of the family will be present, the funeral servi*e f will be held at 12:45 o'clock in Christ Episcopal Church, the little old frame structure, where for years the Colonel and his family attended divine wor ship. At the request of Mrs. Roosevelt no flowers will be sent. The altartwill be decorated only with laurel plaed on it the Christmas season. Mso in 1 rmance -with mrs-Roosev t's there will be,-no music, d nm b tbt1 simple -fi ~ ~~K.i condu han400dersdris o t will be card only. These cardf, it was announced, would be issued from theli, colonel's office in New York and will e be given only to relatives and intimate friends. C4 Cable messages and telegrams of o condolence, not only from -fellow coun- -n trymen of high and low degree, but from distinguished citizens of many i nations, were pouring into Oyster Bay tonight by the hundred. All exprass vi heartfelt grief at the passing of a n great man and deepest sympathy for y, Mrs. Roosevelt, always devoted to her is distinguished husband and one of his m most trusted advisers. The widow is y, bearing up bravely under the shock t( of his sdden death coming as. soon a after that of their youngest son, a Lieut. Quentin Roosevelt, who lost his ti life in a battle with a German airman i last July. al The death of Colonel Roosevelt is 7' believed by the physicians who at-s tended him, to have been hastened by f grief over Quentin's death, coupled b with anxiety over the serious wounds ' suffered by Capt. Archie Roosevelt while fignting in France. s He we.s proud of his soldier sons a and their heroism, but he was a de-a voted father and he grieved for the one who gave his life for his coun try as well as for the- other who was. wounded. He hid his suffering from the world, however, in the hope thatt he might set an example for other fathers and mothers who had given their sons to the nation. To the last Colonel Roosevelt had s been preaching "Americanism" and e few realized that his health had been a: shattered. It was believed that the rug-n ged constitution which had stood him in such good stead through so many a years of "strenuous" life would not t fail him and that he would regains his health. His messages of late.how ever, had been delivered through the me'lium of editorials or public state-:t ments instead of as addresses- 't Even to his neighbors in Oyster 'h Bay it seemed impossible that life :p had ended so suddenly for the Rough '0o1 Rider hero of Spanish war days; the -be statesman who, as governor of New sc York and as President. had weilded a] the "big stick" so fearlessly; the ble fe game hunter of tropical countries; the ti citizen who preached preparedness al long before his country entered the h: world conflict. e It was at 4:15 o'clock this morning in that the former president died in his a: sleep. painlessly. His death was due pt directly to a blood clot lodged in one v< lung, the result of inflammatory rheu- I AN GREETING SETS NEW MARK VOODROW WILSON GIVEN] WONDERFUL WELCOME NPULSE OF FRIENDSHIP FOR' A3ERICA SHOWN BY ITALIAN SAYS PRESIDENT. Mflan, Sunday, Jan. 5.-In speaking a large delegation which welcomed I im to. Milan at the royal palace to- t ay, President Wilson said: 'i can not tell you how much con limented I am by your coming in per- ] m to give me this greeting. I have iI aver known such a greeting as the sople of Milan have given me on the 1 weets. It has brought tears to my yes, because I know that it comes -om their hearts. "I can see in their faces the same I iings that I feel towards them and I now that it is an impulse- of their; -iendship towards the nation I rep- i sent as well as a gracious welcome 2 myself. I want to re-echo the hope i iat we may all work together for a I reat peace as distinguished from a!. Lean peace. May I suggest that this 3 great deal in my thoughts. "The world is not going to consist Dw of great empires. It is going to mnsist for the most part of small na-! ons, apparently, and the only thing 1 iat can bind small nations together I the knowledge that each wants to eat the others fairly. That is the I fly thing. The world has already iown that its- progress is industrial. ou can not trade with people whom Da- do not trust and who do not trust dence is -he basis of, every-I a b wond b ple I as u iave in the great city of I [an. h ii with 4 sense of added en wragement and strength that I re- i irn .to Paris to take part in the! mncil that will determine the items 1 the peace. I thank you with all 2 y heart." t President Wilson spoke to the com-. itte on entertainment as follows: I Mr. Chairman: Again you have been< -ry gracious and again you have filled I y heart with gratitude because of i )ur reference to my country which! so dear to me. I have been very 2 uch interested to be told, sir, that t u are the chairman of the commit- z e of entertainment which includes: 1 parties without distinction and I x r glad to interpret that to mean that iere is no division recognized in the i iendship which you have for Americat id I am sure, sir, that I can assuret >u that in America there would be a:] milar union of all parties to express -ienship and sympathy with Italy. icause, after all, parties are found-* I upon differences of program andt >t often upon differences of national rmpathy. t "The thing that makes parties work >le and tolerable is that all parties ye their own country and there re participate in the general senti ents of that country and so it is ith us, sir. We have many parties ' it we have a single sentiment in is war and a single sentiment in the E ~ace, and in that sentiment lies our't eling towards those with whom we ive b>een associated~ in the great E niggle. At first the .struggle seem I to be a natural resistance to an (gressive force, but as the conscious ass of the nation grew it became ore and more apparent that in the egression of the central powers was2 te spirit of force, and against that I >irit there arose, as always in the e ist. the spirit of liberty and justice. "Force can always be conquered, but .e spirit of liberty can never be, and y .e beautiful circumstances about the story of liberty is that its chain ons have always shown the power self-sacrifice. They have always ecn willing to subordinate their per- e nal interests to the common goods* id have not wished to dominate their'.. low man, but have wished to serve r tem. This is what gives imperish- f 1e victory, and with that victory c is come about things that are ex nplified in scenes like this-the corn g together of the hearts of nations id the sympathy of great bodies of s ~ople, who do not speak the same r cabulary, but speak the same ideas. t am heartened by this delightful ex- s AROLNA BOYS PRAISED AGAIN IAIG'S REPORT ON WAR MENTIONS THIRTIETH.

London, Tuesday, Jan. 7.-Field farshal Haig, whose report on opera ions from the end of April until the nd of hostilities was made public to dght, pays a high tribute to Marshal' och and alludes to the "splendid ighting qualities of the American orces."

Few Iliances of the past can boast ef sach record. Few can show a purpnse aore tenaciously and faithfully pur ued or so fully and gloriously ealized. "If the complete unity and harmony f our action it to be ascribed to the ustice of our cause it is due to the bsolute loyalty with which that cause Las been pursued by all those en rusted with 'the eontrol of the differ nt allied armies, which fought side >y side."

On the different battle ronts the British took 187,000 prison ars and 2,850 guns, bringing the total Lumber of prisoners captured during he year to over 201,000. These re ults were achieved by 59 fighting ritish divisions, which in the course f three months battle engaged and efeated 99 separate German. divisions Vhen the armistice was signed by the nemy his defensive powers had al eady been definitely destroyed.

Dear Mr. Editor: I hear lots your subscribers inquir ing as to what has become of Mossy Dale. He was seen some time just before the signing of the armistice going through those tall pines hunt ing for some calves, but later I seen he was just bluffing, for I seen in a large white bag he had a large quan tity of persimmons, and with one trousers leg split about two feet. So - I don't think they should worry about him, for he is very well supplied for the winter with honey, potatoes, nuts, etc. Just as soon as he finds out the war is over you can look forward to him.
