ROOSEVELT TO HUNT
SOUTH SEA ISLANDS
ON EXTENDED TRIP
International Newt Sarvioe.
NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—Theodore
Uoo3evelt is soon to leave on another
trip of exploration. This time he will
go to the South Sea Islands of the
Pacific ocean where he will hunt, col
lect specimens of the fauna, and ob
serve the ways of the people.
He announces that he has worked
hard during the campaign and is tired.
Ho says that ho has had his eye on
the South Pacific for 3omo time and
dusired to explore the Islands and
siudy the animal life.
On being asked whether he would
have gone exploring if Mr. Hughes
had been elected he said smilingly
that It is useless to speculate on wnat
might have been. His eva3ive reply
Is taken to mean that he would have
remained at home if Hughes had hen
elected. He is greatly disappointed by
the re -election of Wilson.
Col. Roosevelt will be accompanied
by a few naturalists and scientists as
in previous ycar3.
Political leaders declare that this
is Just like the colonel. He has done
all he can for Hughes and the party
and now he Is going to efface himself
for a time so that on his return his
writings and speeches will have a
freshness and Interest for the peoDlc
would not be the case should he re
main at home and continue to critic
ise the president’s policy.
Prophets of evil to the nation from
foreign sources find consolation in the
news of the colonel’s trip because they
are certain he would not go away if
trouble were brewing.
