' . Because of his picturesque personality and his enthus- ,. iasnfor western life, with which he was identified when he ranched in the "bad lands" district of Dakota, near Me'dora, Theodore Roosevelt was always interesting to the people of Omaha, and his visits here were always memorable affairs. - His first visit to this city was made in 1900, when he ap peared at the close of a most strenuous campaign, of which Qis tour of Nebraska proved to be the climax.. - It was Bryan's home state and despite this fact Roose- velt then, as always, disregarded certain conventions and his . originality and force in expressing his sentiments he made a powerful Impressiou on the voting population of Omaha and the state, with the result that Nebraska observed the '"second battle" by giving McKinley and Roosevelt a handsome mat jority of the popular vote and the vote of the state in the elec- ' coral college. : . . -- .

He came here in the capacity of a private citizen and durmg his so journ was regularly initiated as a knight of Ak-Sar-Beri. Mr. Roose velt was then on one of his unique junkets, his itinerary covering a distance of 5,492 miles. It began at New York City, extending westward to Pueblo, C,olo.; thence back to Kansas City, to Omaha, thence to Sioux Falls and Fargo, N.

The day was a strenuous one, with breakfast at the )maha club, fol lowed by a ride about the city. At noon there was a lunch at the Field club, with 400 present.. At 4 p. m. the colonel was introduced to an im mense audience that filled the Audi torium, the introductory speech .be ,ing made by Senator Burkett. At 5:30 there was alormal dinner It th Omaha club with 150 guests present and at 9 p. m., Mr. Roose velt was taken in charge by the "board of Ak-Sar-Ben governors and sscorted to the Den. '. The colonel remained in the building for 90 minutes and during 11 that time he was the cynosure of all eyes. , Escorted by Devils. , He was brought into the Den through the initiation entrance and CROSS, FEVERISH CHILD IS BILIOUS OR CONSTIPATED was escorted by seven devils over a carpeted pathway to his private box. A. W. Jefferis was introduced by President Pickens to give the ad dress of. welcome and Mr. Jefferis' speech was a masterpiece. Mr. Roosevelt made a splendid resrmse which endeared him to all of the audience and pledged .himself thence forth to be an Omaha booster and loyal knight of Ak-Sar-Ben. Sejiator D5lliver, -of Iowa, since dead, . was also one of the distin guished guests and speakers of the Ak-Sar-Be l that night. The last visit Colonel Roosevelt made to this city was on Tune 8, 1918. He came here under the auspices of the National Security league to speak on "The Winning of the War." Occupies Royal Suite. On his arrival in Omaha Colonel Roosevelt went to the Fontenelle hotel. He was accompanied by his wife- and they wer assigned the "royal suite." Mr. Roosevelt spent a very quiet time hete and held a short reception in the morning in the lobby of the Fontenelle, where he met many old friends. He complained of not be ing well, and had with him his phy sician, Dr. George H. Coleman, who had been summoned from Chicago. An attack of semi-malaria, which had been intetmittent ever since the colonel had returned from his South American exploring trip, in which he discovered the "River of Doubt," had left the colonel weak, and be cause of his indisposition he had to cancel a proposed review of the Boy Scouts and a trip to Fort Omaha. Despite his ailment the colonel met all of his visitors genially and with his old toothful smile. He said while he was indisposed his "hat was still in the ring." N Mrs. H. A.

Berne, Jan. 6. (By Associated Press.) Baron Haupt, the new Aus trian minister here, told the Asso ciated Press today that sentiment in Austria is about evenly divided be tween the desire to join Germany or to, remain an independent republic. He said there is a possibility that a majority would favor the latter, in which case a Danube federation is possible, with arrangement for eco nomic relations and laws such as are generally enacted in a confederation of states. "Without such intercourse," he said, "German-Austria is condemned to slow death. Reconciled Sacrifices. "Austria is reconciled to the ced ing of Galicia to Poland and many other territorial sacrifices and is moved to consent to the incorpora tion of German Bohemia and Mo ravia into Czecho-Siovakia. The only condition to this consent is that some form of government similar to the Swiss canton system will be arranged so that the German ele- inent in the new state can be guar antee self-determination and po litical protection, "Vienna is going to be the big los er by the war. It is inconceivable that it will ever regain its one time luster as an imperial city." For this reason, Baron Haupt sug gests that as a partial compensation, Vienna should be made the seat of iyhe tribunal whichhe believes will be formed as an adjunct to a league of nations. Germany Recovers Slowly. r Germany will slowly recover from the disasters wrought by the war, but in a democratic, not a monarchi cal spirit, according to Count Max von Montgelas, formerly in charge of American affairs in the foreign office at Berlin and now German minister to Switzerland. "This recovery," he said today, "will be endlessly hard and will re quire every ounce of German disci pline, but it can be accomplished only in case the entente nations give Germany a sporting chance." Count Montgelas is hopeful that recent changes at Berlin indicate a beginning for new Germany, which will definitely exclude threatened bolshevism. He believes the Ger man people too sensible and level headed to be overwhelmed by it unless the food situation grows worse and the public be subjected to the alternative of dying or rioting. Cardinal Gibbons is Hopeful Vorld Has Seen Its Last War Baltimore, Jan. 6. Cardinal Gib bons preached his new year sermon in the cathedral yesterday and Wil liam Jennings Bryan and many sol diers and sailors were attentive lis teners. Following the pontifical mass and sermon the venerable prelate held his customary annual popular reception at his home. Be fore it began he had a little chat with Mr. Bryan, who congratulated the cardinal on his patriotic ser mon and his health and vigor, , The Cardinal inquired solicitously after Mrs. Bryan, who is undergoing treatment at Johns Hopkins hospi tal. Many protestants as well as Catholics and military and naval men were in the long line to greet the cardinal. In his sermon the cardinal said: "Let us cherish the hope that this is the last war you and I will live to witness; that the day is at hand when the reign of the Prince of Peace shall be firmly established on the earth and that' the spirit of fhe gospel will so far sway the minds and hearts of rulers and cab inets that henceforth all interna tional and domestic disputes shall be adjusted, not on the field of bat tle, but in conciliation halls; not by dreadnoughts and standing armies, but by amicable discussions; and that our quarrels shall be set tled, not by the sword but by the pen and the voice of reason, which are mightier than the sword."

All Omaha Mourns Death ' Of Soldier and Statesman Because of his dynamic personal ity and his always interesting utter ances, Omaha's leading citizens have always felt a peculiar personal in terest in Colonel RoosevelC The news of his death caused a profound shock among the people of the city, and the features of his life, his unconventional attitude toward things social and political, besides his aggressiveness, were a theme of discussion all day. "In the death of Roosevelt Amer ica has lost one of the very great men of the last neration," said Mayor Smith. "Hew-as a man who performed a wonderful good for the country and thej'only criticism I could make of him wa.s that he was inclined to be over-ambitious." Senator Millard's Tribute. High tribute to Colonel Roose velt, the man, is paid by Senator Joseph H. Millard, the Omaha man who knew him personally better than perhaps any other Omahan. Senator Millard was entertained in the Roosevelt home in Oyster Bay two or three times while he was representing this state in Washing ton, and also visited in the White House. "Colonel Roosevelt was a man of high courage, character and ideals and of great learning and ability. He studied profoundly and could speak three or four languages, Ger man and French, most fluently. "I hoped he would live to be president again; if not. he would have named the man who is to be elected. "He was an intense person, force ful in decision, never minced words but he came down hard on those whom he disliked. "An instance of this was the re moval of several local federal offi cials who aroused the colonel's dis pleasure in their handling of the Richards and Comstock cattle fenc ing cases. "Colonel Roosevelt made one mistake in his life that was his action in the Chicago convention. If he hadn't adopted that course, he would assureTlly have succeeded Taft as president; we would not have been involved in this war, and indeed I believe not even Ger many would have dared wage war auainst France not with the army and navy for the United States that Roosevelt would have maintained. "His friendliness to those ,who applied for favors and his congenial family life were among the pleas ant things to remember about him." Foresaw the War. Albert W. Jefferis. republican con-cressman-etect. said: "Roosevelt was the first American with a vision to 'see the course that America should have followed in the late war. lonE before other Amer ican statesmen could appreciate the sAme and with a courage only possessed by a Roosevelt, he ad vised the American people of their duty. 'No doubt had our duty been per formed as seen by Roosevelt at, or shortly after the opening of the war, millions of lives would have been saved, to say nothing of untold wealth and effort. The American people have los a great leader, one to whom the nation owes much, and the people will be compelled to wait a long time for one possessing the many and varied qualities of greatness exemplified by Roosevelt in his lifetime. "In politics he was a leader of great personal following and though he had a great influence in the di vision of the political party with which he was associated, he lived long enough to learn and realize that in 1920, should lie have lived, he would have been supported and WAR PUZZLES FRENCH CAPTURED REDOUBT North of Solssons, taklnsr two Hn s at trenches, four years ago today.

Awakens Public Conscience. Judge A. L. Sutton r , "Colonel Roosevelt has done more, in mjl judgment, to awaken the public con'- science than any other living states man. He was a man of deeds rather than words and his death is a dis tinct loss to the patriotic spirit of America. His sudden death will be an especially hard loss to the people of the west. "Colonel Roosevelt has long been one of the corner stones of the na tion. He has always been right in practice as well as theory. He was one of the first among the states men of the nation to see war be tween the United States and Ger many was inevitable and long prior to the time we went to war with Germany advocated through newspapers, magazines and public addresses the necessity ot preparing for war with Germany. He was in favor of going to war with Germany when the Lusitanla was sunk. "In the light of past history, we all acknowledge now that Colonel Roosevelt was right and we should have made a vigorous protest when Germany started its march through Belgium and gone to war when the Lusitania was sunk." Great Loss to Country. James C. Dahlman, former mayor: "It'is a great loss to our country. 1 am exceedingly sorry to learn of the colonel's death." Fred Metz, Ak-Sar-Beit king in 1903,' the year Roosevelt attended the annual fall festival: "The country has lost a great man." City Commissioner Ure: "He was one of the very greatest men of his time a man who has had a won derful influence on the men of America and his influence was for good during peace times. The great-' ness of his personality, I think, was shadowed somewhat during war times because of his impetuosity and the intemperance of some of his utterances." John L. Kennedy: "The death of Colonel Roosevelt removes from public life one of the most forceful and unique figures in American his tory. He was a great president. In Nebraska he had many friends. It would be particularly appropriate for this state to pay public tribute to his memory" Col. F. A. Grant, Omaha quarter master: "Colonel Roosevelt's death is a national calamity." Colonel Grant and Colonel Roosevelt were close friends and probably no one in M umaha more sincerely mourns the sudden death of the great man than does Colonel Grant. Judge Willis G. Sears: "In the death of Colonel Roosevelt one- of the world's most striking personali-i ties has passed away. His mental activity always carried him to the extreme, and at times made him seemingly unfair to his opponents. His courage was greater than that of a lion, and of all the families of the world, his, I think, comes out with the most family redit from fhis war. He saw the trend of war events and of our peremptory call to engage in it, that could not be avoided with honor. ' His was the early clarion voice for preparedness; and when the time came for us to enter not one CThis family sought a place in a safe department. All five sought the firing line. He was a great leader of men, and he led when he thought that fighting was for a purpose." Robert Co well: "To me it comes as a great shock. I haven't always been with Roosevelt. I was not with him in his opposition to Taft, but he has abundantly redeemed him self, and I have lately looked upon him as one of oufvgreatest Ameri cans; one of the most versatile men of the nation, against whom no liv ing man could bring the charge ol lack of patriotism. In his death the nation and the world has suffered a great loss." Russian Re Army is Now Being Forcibly Organized Vladivostok, Jan. 6. All former noncommissioned officers of the RussXm army within reach of the bolshevik authorities in Petrograd are being forcibly mobilized, accord ing to advices received here. They are desired for officers in the red army, for which six classes of troops are reported called to the colors. Influenza is said to be working havoc among the Petrograd population.
