man sprinting to keep n few laps

That, if you please. Is one way in
which the poor man Is pushing the
rich man along.
Some day they may both attain

Everyone is Hwaie of the inspiring
companionship ihnl existed between
tlte elder Roosevelt and his children,
and it becomes increasingly apparent
in talking with the new T. R. He
speaks constantly of hi* late father.
Scarcely an Incident occurs that doe*

"That remind* me of something

pite the countless volumes of Roose-

his sharp, staccato tone, and It

one T. R from the other

mean that his greeting po»*e**es
much of the warmth and enthusiasm
and much of the ecreiltrlcity of the
elder T. R. They mean that he slaps
yott on the back in the old beloved
way and tells you that he Is "very

WAll DEPARTMENT l RISKS
RETURN OP DRAFT I.WTH
In spite of the effort* ot the War
Department to expedite the publica-
tion ot the lists of alleged draft de-
serters. this work is being seriously
retarded by the failure of aonte of
those checking the Hats to return
them promptly to the War Depart
ment. Hundreds of list* have been
sent to former member* of local
draft boards and State Adjutants
General, as well as to American Le-
gion Posts and other organizations,
in order that they may be checked
with a view to removing name* of
the men who rendered honorable ser-
vice during the war In either tbe
army, navy or marine corpa or who
died subsequent to registration
Ample time for checking has been
allowed, and it is believed that all
the lists should have been returned
to the department by this time In
muiiyn instances the attention of
those working on the 1st* have been
invited to the urgency of returning
tbe llats promptly Nevertheless
many of the list* are still in the
hands of local board members and
State Adjutants General and In view
of the fact (hat sufficient time has
been allowed for checking the lists.
It will be necessary, unless they are
returned iu a short time, for the War
Department to set a date at which
they wilt be published, regardless of
whether or not the list* nave been
relumed. It la essential, therefore
that local board members and Slate
Adjutants General expedite the work
ol cheeking the lists of alleged draft
deserters In order that the publica-
tion of the list* may not he further
retarded.
The detailed statement tanned by
the War Department show* that
there are Rome local boards in every
state which are still retaining list*
