A VOICE IN PEACE
■
Milan. Jan. t).—President Wil- i
son voiced again to-day his view
that the working people of the '
world demanded from the com
ing peace conference not merely
treaties of peace hut guarantees
of the justice and the future of
the peace to be made.
11 declared his belief that the
social structure of the world rest
ed upon the great working classes
and reiterated his conviction that
the peace must be made with the
sentiment of those 'classes con
stantly kept in view.
The President made these dec
larations in his speech at the re
ception given him by the munici
pality. his principal speech of the
day. The reception accorded the
American executive was a most
enthusiastic one. both here and at
Genoa, where he made u brief
stop on his way from Home to
this city.
Hy Associated Press
Milan, Jan C.—President Wilson
journeyed from Rome to Milan yes
terday. stopping at Genoa en route.
There he was greeted by hundreds
of thousands of the common people,
who acclaimed him in the most ex
travagant terms, sought to be near
enough to touch him and even at
tempted to kiss his hand or clothing
as he passed through the dense
crow ds.
Mr. "Wilson's visit of three hours
in Genoa was marred by a tropical
downpour of rain which drenched;
the President and all his party. The ]
sticels ran uvcrs and a gule snapped 1
the Ingslaffs. Nevertheless, the Ptes->
ident carried out his full program, |
including \irils to tho monuments!
of Columbuhs and Mazzini and to the!
city hall, wlit re lie was given a re
ception.
Whatever arrangements might
have been made to receive the Pres
ident were dissolved on his arrival,
with tlie e.'ty being lushed by- the
blinding rain sqquulls. All tlie mem
bers of the c '.ficial party exc-ept Mr.
Wilson a I'd his wife were compelled
to scramble for themselves through
the troop-.ined streets and make the
host way possible back to the offi
cial tram.
The hcciei service men, seeking to
protect the President, rejected motor
cars and cuimages which were pro
vided by the local committee, hut
somehow managed to gei through
I lie program and back to the train
without mishap.
Before leuving Genoa, President
Wilson laid a wreath at the base of
the statue of Columbus and, stand
ing bareheaded in the driving rain,
made a short address.
Columbus, ho said, did a service
for the world in discovering America
and now it was America's pleasure
and pride to show it was in lie serv
ice of mankind.
'Being free," said the President,
"America desires to show others
how they may also share in the free
dom of trie womu."
The demonstration in Milan was
of the same character as that in
Geona but proportionately greater
in view of Mi an's greater size. It
seemed as if all the inhabitants and
the people of the surrounding coun
tryside had jammed themselves into
the squares and streets along the line
of march. The thoroughfares were
so choked with humanity that the
President's motor car crawled
through with the greatest difficulty!
Hoofs Mold Crouds
The balconies, the voofs and every
vantage point were black with peo
ple. and the route had been plaster
ed with posters and pictures of
President Wilson together with quo
tations from his speeches which
could be particularly applied to
Italy's position.
The President called at the City
Hull, where the freedom of tho city
was bestowed upon him. He then
proceeded to the royal pulaco where
he received delegations going thence
to ha Bcala, where he dined and
where it was hoped he would at
tend the opera. While he was at the
palace the great square before the
cathedral was so Jammed that the
cathedral had to be closed. The
American secret service men de
clared they hud never taken any
President through such demonstra
tive scenes or such great crowds.
While the throngs were orderly, they
seemed simply wild with enthuslusm
and determined to crowd near to the
President. The tour of the city by the
presidential party was to the accom-

Suffered For Long
\ Time With Attack
of Rheumatism
By Associated Press
j New York, Jan. 0. —Colo-
nel Theodore Roosevelt.
| former president, American
! statesman and soldier, died
! early to-day at his home at
; Oyster Bay. Colonel Roosevelt
; had been conlincd to his room
• since New Year's Day with an
'attack of inflammatory rheuma-!
! tism. The attack settled main
|ly in Colonel Roosevelt's right
hand, and Mrs. Roosevelt sent,
lat once for a nurse in the vil- •
1 lagc of Oyster Bay. I lis condi-]
j tion did not at first seem alarm- j
i ing. anil the turn for the worse is]
I believed not to have come until last :
j night.
Hies at I A. M.
| A telephone message received later!
j this morning l'rom Oyster Bay said!
:that Colonel Roosevelt had died at 1
j -t o'c'oek this tnornin.
The immediate cause of Colonel
[Roosevelt's death was pulmonary]
| embolism, or lodgement in the lung
j of a blood e'ot from a broken vein, •
[one of his physicians stated.
Sudden Attack
News of the death of the former
| president was received here by Miss]
[Josephine Strieker, the colonel's'
j secretary, in a telephone message
• from Mrs. Roosevelt. Miss Strieker
■ said the colonel had suffered an at
j tack of inwlammatory rheumatism
]on New Year's Day and had since!
'been more or less confined to his
t room.
[ In announcing Colonel Roosevelt's!
death. Miss Strieker said:
"Mrs. Roosevet called me on the 1
] telephone shortly before 7 o'clock,
sa+ing that the colonel had died
I early to-day. She did not give me
I any patticuhirs and 1 am leaving at
once for Oyster Bay.
Xot Worried Before
j "The attack must have been very
: sudden. On New Year's Duy inflani
j mator.v rheumatism developed in
j Colonel's Roosevelt's right hand,
which became very much swollen.
[ Mrs. Roosevelt sent for a nurse in]
j the village and the colonel was made
las comfortable as possible. It did
j not occur to me at that time he was
'seriously ill."
Only Wife at Home
: ] Miss Strieker went to Oyster Bay
last Saturday to pay the colonel a
I visit. She said: >
j "At that time the colonel was
i i sleeping in hts room and 1 did not
j see him, and there nothing in
I the circumstances of his illness at
| that time to indicate to me that
i death was near. When Mrs. Roose
j velt called me this morning and told
me of the colonel's death, 1 could
! hardly believe it.
i "Mrs. Roosevelt gave me no par
-1 ticulais of his death."
j It is understood that only Mrs.
i Roosevelt and the nurse were with
j him at the time of his death. The
] other members of the family are in
i other parts of the country or abroad.
; Undergoes Operation In Hospltui
] Colonel Roosevelt's last illness
[may be said to date from last Feb
! ruary. On February 5 it was an
j nounced he had been removed from
| his home in Oyster Bay to the
i Roosevelt Hospital in this city, fol
! lowing an operation on one of his
| ears. Soon after his arrival at the
; hospital he underwent two more
] operations for the removal of dlseas
; ed tissue tn his infected ear and it
] was admitted at the time that he
} was seriously ill. He remained at
■ tho hospital until March 3.
l'Vels "Bully"' Christmas Iny
During Muy and June the colonel
, made a number of addresses, speak.
] ing at Springfield, Mass., and in New
' York. In June he made a tour of the
' We'st during which he suffered a
: slight attack of erysipelas in one of
his legs, but refusedy to give up his
| engagements. Early in November
! tho colonel was taken to Roosevelt
] Hospital in this city for treatment
| of rheumatism and sciatica. While
Ihe was in the hospital reports be
came current tallt the colonel was
more seriously ill than his physi
cians would admit. Colonel Roose
velt returned to his home In Oyster
Bay on Christmas Day, remarking as
he stepped to the porch that he was
"feeling bully."
Roosevelt's Death Painless
Death came to Colonel Roosevelt
painle.ts as he slept. Three physlctuns
had been In attendance upon the Col
onel since he was taken to Roosevelt
Hospital seven weeks ago to bo treat
ed for what was bclievd to be sci
atica. The patient's trouble was later
diagnosed as inflammatory rheuma
-1 tism which, according to one of the
doctors, had affected virtually every
joint in his body. The Colonel s phy
sicians were Dr. J. A. Fuller, of Oys
tcT Bay, and Dr. J. 11. Richards arid

DRAMATIC LIFE OF

Colonel Roosevelt's career lias left
such a vivid imprpssion upon the ■
people of liis time it is necessary to!
touch but briefly upon some of the
more striking phrases of his varied,
interesting and "strenuous" life to
recall to the public mind full details i
of his maity. exploits and expert-f
enoes.
