On Saturday ho dictated tfie mes sage which was read at a meeting of the American Defence Society at tho Hippodrome on Sunday night. In this message ' he phrased afresh the thoughts that had been burning; In his mind of late. \There can be no divided allegiance, here. Any man who says ho Is an American, but komethlug elso also. Isn't an American at all. Wo havo room but for one flag, tho American flag, and this oxcludeH tho red flag, which symbolizes nil wars against lib- erty and civilization. Just as much as it excludes nny foreign ling of iv nation to which we arc hostile. \Wc have room for but one lan- guage here, and that Is tho, American language, for-w- Intend to see that tho crucible turns our people out as Amer- icans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers In a polyglot boarding house, nnd we have room but for ono soul loyalty, and that Is loyalty to tho American peopIS.\ Capt.

It was found that to thoTirlglnal trou- ble hod been added a well developed abi sceu of the left .ear and some affection of the rlRht ear as well. The doctors made their patient go to RoosovoU Hoe Pltal. Declining to ga tn an ambulance. he went In his own automobile. He though! hU svsttm had boon poisoned by the Jungle fever and asked thn physicians to \clean everything up and make a good Job of U\ while they were about It. Col. Roosevelt spent nearly a month Itn Ihn hnntt:il nurl thA unF trntlliltt wa corrected after reaching a dangerous stage. When he left he was deaf In the right ear and had trouble, he said, \with tiU equilibrium,\ meaning that he had dlftlculty In walking. However, after a few days' rest, he went to Maine, nnd before the titate. Republican convention In lortland-niad- e n sooch. .that was accepted as the \keynote\ of the Re- publican Congressional campaign. Later he made a speaking tilp through the middle West for tho National league, an Incident of which was hla reunion with 'Ulhm II. Taft in the dining room of the ninckstone Hotel In Chicago. In June tills Irrepressible man went West a?a!n. Una Attack In Chicago. in Chicago he suffered an attack of erysipelas, but instead of going te a hos- pital, tn the doctors ursd, he kept on. Accompanied by a physician, he went to Omaha. St. Louis, Indianapolis (where the physician, tired out, dropped by the wayside), made a lit mile motor trip to Mlpomlngtou, Ind., and returning to Oyster Hay went out and Indulged him- self In his old Gladstonlan form of chopping down a tree. In July came tho news of Quentln's death. The Colonel took It llko tho man he was. His one thought was to keep the tidings from Mis. Roosevelt until the thin r was absolutely certain. He had promised to speak at thr un.pf!cll Re- publican State convention In Saratogu and explaining that It was hU duty as a citlxen to Saratoga he went. Then he and Mrs. Roosevelt had two or three vVeks reet In Milne, On Labor Day he celebrated a ship launching at Newhurgh, keeping a long standing promier, nnd had to shake so many persons' hands that he got no luncheon. I.ate In October, Jurt beforn election, he spoke at the Carnegie Hall m\\. called In the Interest of the Whitman ticket, but on account of Pres- - tdent Wilson's appeal to the people to elect a purely Democratic Congress it was converted into ap answer to the President and a challenge.

Archie Roosevelt rep resented him at tile school's Christmas party, and handed tho gifts around. On New Year's Day, as the doctors revoaleq yesterday, there was nn acute attack of the Inflammatory rheumatism, which was alarming, but did not last long. Dr. Faller of Oyster Bay visited tho patient twice a day and Dr. Richards and Dr. Hattwell also went to Saga- more 1111! at regular Intervals. In High Spirits .Sunday. On Sunday morning Dr, Faller found the Colonel in high Hplrlts, and again at oVlocU III the evening, In fact, flic qoctor had considerable troublo in get- ting tho Colonel in talk about lilmiitlf and haw he felt- Ip his rjiaranteristic, manner the former President was bub-blln- g with talk about everything else under the sun. )t always acted as If he took hla ail- ments lightly, although well aware that they might prove sertoua.

How far the Colonel was from feeling any foreshadowing of the end was sliown by a letter received yesterday by a inceting of the Independent Cltirens Commltteo on Welcoming Returning s, of which ho recently was elected honorary chairman.

The Colortel was always anxious to be treated \Just as any private eJtlron\ in tho ehurch and elsewhere In Oyster Ray. Put jears ago the congregation got Into the hblt of waiting for their mot dis- tinguished parishioner and his family to leavehe church first after the oervlco and this custom peraUte? after Presi- dent Roosevelt becama Private Citizen Roosevelt. On the of the church opposite the Itoosevelt pew Is a bronze tablet com- memorating the history of tho church. It has the names of the vestrymen and others who had to do with a great an- niversary, and also a single line across the tablet reading: \Theodora Rooac-ve- t, Prenldunt of tho United Stutcs.\ Honor Hull af Church.

The Itoosevelt Plot. Thli burial ground was, originally a part of the old Youngs farm. n recent years several other families, most of whom live In tho neighborhood of the Oyttor Hay cove, have obtained lots there. The Roosevelt plot Is on the top of a hill.

The cemetery lies about half way be- tween Oyster Hay and Sagamore Hill and Is between the Junction of the road that runs beside tho bay and the high- way to Cold Spring Harbor. Oyster Hay was naturally dazed hy the suddenness of Col. Roosevelt's death. Tho flag above the bandstand and the flag outside the Rank of Oyntcr Buy woro pjaced at half staff early In the morning, but despite this evidence of what had happened and the passage through the sheets of Col. Roosevelt's relatives on their way to the hill, the. townspeople could hardly realize that ther neighbor had gone. They knew that Col. Roosevelt was far from well when he returned from the hospital on Chrletmas day. but they thottuht lkc ever) body else that ho was Improving, A Faithful arnspn. Tho Town Hoard of Supervisors had v, peola meeting yesterday to draft icsolnlkJiiH and u delegation from fhe Mattlnecock Ixxlgo of Masons went up to the Itoosevelt' homo to offer their ser-v.c- In cam a funeral with Mahotic lilfw yeas draireri.

On bin travels lie took delight lu vleiting lodges that he found .In such queer plarcs ai Nairobi In Hist Africa and at Die head of the Asuncion River in South America. Then when lie got back to Ovuter Ray he used to IkjIi up at a lodge meeting and tell the brethren all about his adventures. There Is in Oyster Hay a barber named John Gerardl, who has a shop next to the post oltlce. He has visited Sagamoro Hill off and on for eighteen yirs. He said yesterday that he made one of these vWts Sunday morning. The Colone) was sitting in a big arm- chair,\ Oeraidl continued \Dr. Faller was feeling hN pulse. The Colonel Is as llr.o a man as you ever saw Ha half got up when I came in and he said In thai friendly nny of his. 'Iieiiu, John, glad to Htc you. How are 1'ou?' Then he said to me: 'John, you,don't have to eend mo a letter or a circular when jou want a contribution to celebrate the feast of St. Rocco. Just come up your- self, John.' j \That's right, you never had to go to the Colonel twice when we needed money fur anything or when anbody was sick Well, 1 asked the Colonel how he was feeling and he nald: 'Fine, John, but I don't feci like shaving myself I think I'll havo you shave me, John.' \So he lay back in his easy chair and I shaved hint. The Colonel, jou know, was quite particular al.out how lie was shaved. When I finished he smoothed his hand up his cheek against the grain and said: 'Now, John. I think you have left a couple of hairs there. You better try again, John.' \So I went over his face again and tho Colonel was greatly pleased. Then he said that he guessed he wasn't feel- ing any too well after all and would take a little sleep. Dr. Faller told him he hail better take a llttlo milk and toast first, so the Colonel, who always did what the doctors told him. hud his milk nnd toast, and I went awav. He railed after me: 'Ooodby, John, come again, John.' Usually the Colonel shaved ljim-sei- f, but he was the finest man you would ever want to meet.\ Effect of (tnrnfln'e Ilrutb. There Is no question that the loss of his son Quentln weighed on the Colonel tremendously and that tne mental strain affected his physical condition. When the first news eano It was somewhat cryptic, HUggestlng only that something serious had happened to one of tho Roosevelt boys, lie got It from Philip Thompson, a newspaper correspondent at oyster Hay, to whom Tub Sun had telegraphed. Co) Roosevelt one by ono eliminated lo 8 the war.
