dore Roosevelt caused great sorrow to
many of the attaches of President Wil-

I years of close association with him.
They heard the news in a little French
town where the train bringing the
Presidential party back from Italy
stopped to change locomotives. They
gathered in groups and recalled, in
stances of their association with the
then President.
Some of the secret service men re
vived recollections of the Colonel's
strenuous walks and rides in all sorts
of weather, and also how members of
his familv at that time feared that his
