Warmly Praised by All '* His Countrymen #ub!lc Men and Private CltftVftt Uirfti In Paying Tribute to the Colonel's fS^#trlotlwn and Tremendous Influence for Good. *- '^ll -L -• ^ * : Tffaedeath of Col. Theodore ftw«r called forth a flood of eologies i ftom his countrymen who recognized his greatness of soul, his unadulterated Americanism and the powerful influ­ ence for good of his deeds and words. Some of these tributes follow: SECRETARY OF STATE L.ANSIN©-* Wte death of Col. Roonevelt remove® (Tom our national life a great Ameri­ can. His vigor o' mind and ceaseless energy made him a conspicuous figure In public affairs. Friends and enemies, alike recognised the force of his per­ sonality and the great influence he had la moldin^tpublio thought and purpose. His patriotism and devotion to his country will long be remembered by all his fellow citibens, while his sturdy Americanism will be an inspira­ tion to future generations. * ACTING SECRETARY OF STATK FRANK L. POLK--He was one of the most striking figures in the history of this country, and. in fact of his time. It is impossible to measure today what 1M did to arouse the political con- •cience of the American people. NEWTON D. BAKER, Secretary Of War--His relations to the navy and to tfae army are, of course, a part of the history of those two services, and dur- tng his terms as president he brought his powerful personality and energy to bear upon economic problems of the greatest moment. I do not know of any career which combines so many diversified and intensively pursued ac­ tivities--frontiersman, explorer, natu­ ralist, seaman, soldier, executives and publicist. In each of these relations he was conspicuous and left his mark. JOSEPHUS DANIELS, Secretary of the Navy--He has biased new paths aad refused to be fettered by conven­ tions that other distinguished men rec­ ognised. Original, forceful, courageous, he was the monitor of millions of his fellow countrymen, who will miss his Inspiring leadership. Believing in hlm- •elf and the cause he espoused, he threw himself into every conflict with eviery power of ihind and body. FRANKLIN K. LANE, Secretary of Interior--Colonel Roosevelt was a great man, a very great man--great In his soul, great in his personality, great in his conception of America's place in the world. He will sit at one of the Ugh tables. CARTER GLASS. Secretary of the Treasury--Colonel Roosevelt was an - extraordinary figure and leaves a leg­ acy of patriotic endeavor and useful edtievement of which those who most respected &pd honored him .will always fe* proud. DIRECTOR GENERAL 1TADOO-- Colonel Roosevelt's prodigious activi­ ties made him one of the most conspic- «ous figures in publii life. We are too sear the event to place a just estimate On his life and career, but he will al­ ways be distinguished for one great achievement--the construction of the Panama canal. FORMER PRESIDENT T AFT--The oountry can tH afford in this critical period of history to lose one who has lone and could in the next decade have done so much for it and human­ ity. We have lost a great patriotic American, a great world figure, the aaost commanding personality in our public life since Lincoln. I mourn his going; as a personal loss. SENATOR LENROOT of Wisconsin-- ' I regard Colonel Roosevelt's death as a vary great calamity for the nation. His usefulness is familiar to all, hut I believe that hla greatest usefulness might have been in the future. SENATOR LEWIS of Illinois--The death of Colonel" Roosevelt is the loss of a great man, of a great force, and the loss of a great benefit to America. Whatever differences men may have with Colonel Roosevelt on party lines or political principles, all roust certify that his fight for cleanliness and Integ­ rity in public life did much to rid the nation of corruption in public affairs. AH must admit that hir labors to force (corporate monopoly to yield to private welfare and personal rights started this country upaji the course of Justice. > SENATOR HARDING of Ohio --He Was one of the foremost citizens of the V*|rl4, in a most extraordinary era, and he was the most vigorous and courageous American of his time. There is no direct legatee to his vast political estate. SENATOR KENTON of Iowa --His Virile American utterances were help­ ing to bring order out of diplomatic Chaos. In my judgment he was the greatest American since Abraham Lin­ coln. SENATOR NEW of Indiana--Intel­ lectually he was in the first rank among those who have figured in our pubfic life, and for versatility and ap­ plication he was without an equal. He was a true patriot, a thorough Ameri­ can at all times and in all respects. SENATOR MARTIN of Virginia-He mat all the respoapibllities «f citizenship In the inaBtefcfjqntfjteous manner, A char­ acteristic <* ow lne *as his unqualified OSUrage. He never had a conviction in Ida life that he did not have the courage to follow it. He was a man of unlimited courage, of limitless resources, and of un­ bounded patriotism. SENATOR LODGE Of Massachusetts-- He was a great patriot, a great Ameri­ can, a great man. He was devoted throughout his life to his country. He tried always to be a servant of human- tty- . * SENATOR KELLOGG of Minnesota-- )le was a great commoner, who in his tie&rt cherished (be causes of the masses ..--a man of the moat intense patriotism •GATHERED FACTS ; §•. the first American Express com- Miy was opened between Boston and York, in 1821, by W.

He had a trier vision, a higher courage, a Wiser statesmanship than any man of our time. I cannot speak of him in ordinary terms. To m« he had no parallel--none approached him la virility or force or profound knowledge of varied subjects. SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN of Oregon --A truer, more loyal American never lived. SENATOR KNOX of Pennsylvania--Hla life was so abundant, so Open, and so fa­ miliar that observations at this time upon his career as a statesman would be super­ fluous if not misplaced. He was America's greatest living human asset, REPRESENTATIVE ^tBDILL M'COR- MICK vHe was tb# greatest American of our time. We arc his debtera for his tre­ mendous labors in the regeneration Of our public life, for the quickening of our na­ tional spirit, for the reanimatlon of our patriotism. REPRESENTATIVE JAMES R. MANN --I think Roosevelt was the most wonder­ ful Individual character in the world. He student of mankind AND BO pro# giously active that his Influence was tre­ mendous and his loss will be deeply felt here and in other countries. REPRESENTATIVE FXRS, chairman of the Republican congressional commit tee--His death at this moment Is a na tlonal calamity. Never were his talents so much needad as now. * FORMER SPEAKER CANNON--Col­ onel Roosevelt's place in history will be as ene of the great presidents of the re­ public. He kept in closer touch With the legislative department •• iliu any other president I have known, REPRESENTATIVE GILLETT of Mas­ sachusetts--Colonel Roosevelt was the most remarkable man America has pro­ duced since the Civil war. His general knowledge was unbounded, his personal magnetism extraordinary. REPRESENTATIVE SHALLENBER- GER of Nebraska--It is Inexpressibly sos- rowful that he should be taken away at this crisis in tha affairs of government and mankind. REPRESENTATIVE 6HERLET, chair­ man of the house appropriations commit­ tee--Mr. Roosevelt was one of the really great men of his age and above all else was wholly an American. CHARLES EVANS HUGHES -- The death of Colonel Roosevelt is an irrepar­ able loss to the nation. His virility and courage were a constant Inspiration. He personified the Americanism of which he was the most doughty champion. He de­ manded the recognition and performance of our national obligation in the war. Back of all that was done In the war was the pressure of his relentless insis* tence. In response to his patriotic call lay the safety of civilisation and in this hour of complete victory the whole world Is his debtor. SAMUEL GOMPERS, president of the American Federation of Labor--I regard the death of Colonel Roosevelt a very great loss. He rendered service of Incal­ culable benefit to the world. I knew hint for thirty-flve y«ars in all his public ac­ tivities. I worked with him and every one, even those who differed with him, conceded his sincerity of purpose, his high motives and bis anxiety to serve the peo­ ple. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN--The rare qualities which won for Colonel Roosevelt a multitude of devoted follow­ ers naturally arrayed against him a host of oponents, but his death puts an end to controversy and he will be mourned by foe as weir as by friend. He was a great American and made a profound impres­ sion in the thought of his generation. His picturesque career will form a fascinating chapter in our nation's history. CHIEF JUSTICE WHITE--Mr. Roose- dss.th brings to ms si swse of deep sorrow, of personal loss. While he was president his kindly consideration never failed and many opportunities were af­ forded me for observing the highness of his innate ideals and his courage, all Of which combined to make him the distin­ guished,. not to say phenomenal, man he ASSOCIATB JUSTICE WILLIAM R. DAT--Every one appreciates that we have lost one of the greatest Americans, one of the first citizens of the world, at a time when we can ill afford to lose him. MAJ. GEN. LEONARD WOOD--The death of my frierd, Theodore Roosevelt, brings to me great personal loss and sor­ row, but keen and deep as these are, they are but the sorrow and loss of an indi­ vidual. The national loss Is irreparable, for his death comes at a time when his services to this nation can ill be spared. Never was America more In need of his frankness and courage, his honest criti­ cism, and farse*lng wisdom than at pres­ ent. Unselfish loyalty, honest and fear­ less criticism always characterised the life and work of Theodore Roosevelt and he lived and worked always for his coun­ try's best Interest. While we shall not have the living voice and presence, we shall always have the example of hla life. PRESIDENT POI1ICARB of France- Friend of liberty, friend of France, Roose­ velt has given. Without counting sons and daughters, his energy that liberty may live. We are grateful to him. We wish to express to Mrs. Roosevelt our most sincere condolence. J. j. JUSSERAND, French ambassador to the United States--The unexpected death of one who has upheld all his life the principles of virile manhood, straight­ forward honesty and fearlessness will be mourned all over the world, nowhere more sincerely than In France, whose cause he upheld in her worst crisis in a way that shall never be forgotten. HENRT WHITE, one of the American peace commissioners--I have heard of Mr. Roosevelt's death with deep sorrow be­ cause of the loss to the nation of a great public servant and to myself of a lifelong friend. HERBERT C. HOOVER -- America Is poorer for the loss of a great citizen, the world for the loss of a great man. His virility and Americanism baa been one of our national treasures. « COL. E. M. HOUSE--The entire world will share the grief which will be felt In the United States over the death of Theodore Roosevelt. He was the one virile and courageous leader of his gen­ eration and will live, in history as one of our rreatest presidents. GOVERNOR LOWDlfiN of Illinois-- The natlori has suffered a loss it can­ not well afford at this time. Theodore Roosevelt has been a dominant force in American life for thirty years. Dur­ ing all his life he has sought and striven for. a better. Juster society. His robust and fearless Americanism was like a bugie call to his countrymen, whenever danger threatened from within or without.

Copenhagen, Jan. 11.--In the fight­ ing In Berlin the Spartacans were de­ feated .in an attack on the foreign of­ fice. The government troops aided by aviators, attacked the Spartacans at the Silesian railway station with bombs. Sixty-five persons were killed. Berlin, Jan. 11.--The government forces are in complete control of that section of the innerv city between the Brandenburg gate and FrledHch- strasse, They have Issued an order prohibiting all processions. The government has scored a decid­ ed victory in the capture of p^tfjpe headquarters, which has been ontr of the Spartacan strongholds. The build­ ing was taken by the Fusilier guards after a short fight. ; The government forces took the building with few Casualties. Eich- horn, the Spartacan police chief, es­ caped, but many of his supporters were made prisoners, ^ichhorn Is reported to have fled from the city. In issuing its order against proces­ sions the government gave warning that its troops have orders to fire without waiting, for the Spartacans to begin, and shoot to kill. The Spartacans, apparently, are los­ ing hope. They failed to summon a mass meeting of their supporters and the streets are almost deserted. Paris, Jan. 11.--The latest news re­ ceived %here fron? Germany, although fragmentary and sometimes contra­ dictory, indicates that the Ebert gov­ ernment has won a victory over the Spartacans owing to the sudden im­ petus given "the government's cause by the support of loyal elements, whose numbers increased with the prospects of the government's success. In the sanguinary fighting of the last five days the Spartacans are reported to have suffered very heavy losses. It Is estimated that more than WO persons have been killed in the fight­ ing in Berlin since 'Monday. The Charlte and other outlying hospitals cared for 300 wounded.

"There is no Russia," he declared. "What was Russia is a vast disorgan­ ized aggregation of local govern­ ments. "Lenine and Trdtzky have the great cities of Petrograd, Moscow and some others and thus have the center of the wrecked nation, but it Is the most un­ happy, most- lawless, brutal and most bloody. Other parts of Russia are comparatively cplm and orderly." Senator Hitchcock prepared his ad­ dress after consulting with Acting Seo retary Polk at the state department. After pointing out that seizure of the ports of Vladivostok, Murmansk and Archangel was proposed by the su­ preme war council to prevent Germany from obtaining valuable stores, he said: "In each case It was done as %. meas­ ure of war against Germany and not against Russia. In each case the atti­ tude of the Russian people at the ports named and in the neighborhood was friendly and remains so today. In each case the local Russian govern­ ment exists and functions in co-opera­ tion with the American and allied sol­ diers. "We sent about 10,000 men to Vladi­ vostok, the Pacific port,,and about 5,- 00ft to Archangel, "the arctic port In European Russia, and Murmansk, the port which leads to the Murmart coast. "Those landing at Vladivostok are for the most part still there or In that neighborhood. Those landing at Arch­ angel and across the White sea at Murmansk, while still holding those ports in connection with the British and French troops, have penetrated a short distance inland, in each case probably about 100 miles, as a meas­ ure of protection for their bases."
