L
■ BATOUM, Caucasia. — Six rob
bers, traveling as passengers, com
mandeered the Russian steamer Con
stantine on her latest trip between
this port and Constantinople, and
robbed a selected list of wealthy
passengers of 30,000,000 rubles.
The robberv was conducted with the
i,daring and finish of an American
train holdup.
The Constantine carried merchants
from Tiflis, Baku, Bagdad, and Eri
van, proceeding to Constantinople
to purchase goods, with cash in gold
and Romanoff rubles for the pur
pose. There was nothing to indi
cate the character of the robbers
until the ship was within 12 hours

LITERARY GEMS FOUND
IN ROOSEVELT’S LETTERS
NEW YORK.—Delving- into the
mine of 150,000 letters which Theo
dore Roosevelt wrote during his
public career, Joseph Bucklin Bish
op, the colonel’s biographer, in the
October issue of Scribner's Maga
zine, brings to light a number of
"gems” in the intimate correspond
ence between the former President
of the United States and Sir George
Otto Trevelyan, Bart., O. M., Eng
lish statesman and author, with
whom the great American enjoyed
a rare friendship covering 20 years.
Mr. Bishop's paper, the second of
the series, entitled “Roosevelt ar.d
Trevelyan,” reveals the many-sided
Roosevelt as “an insatiable reader
of books.” his warm sympathy for
authors and his broad and pro
found knowledge of ancient and
modern literature. Even amid the
cares of the presidency, Mr. Roose
velt, it is shown, maintained a regu
lar correspondence with leaders of
literary and intellectual life both
in this country and Europe. In Sir
George Trevelyan, a nephew of the
historian Macaulay, he found a man
singularly responsive to his own in
tellectual tastes and knowledge. Tne
correspondence began when he was
governor of New York, and con-:
tinued until a few months befoie
Mr. Roosevelt’s death.
“I certainly would not be willing
to hold the presidency at the cost
of failing to do the things which
make the real reason why’ I care
to hold it all,” he wrote to Sir
George on May 28, 1904. “J had
much rather be a real President for
three years and a half than a fig
urehead for seven years and a half.
I think I can truthfully say that
I now have to my credit a sun. of
substantial achievement — and the
rest must take care of itself.”
Previously, in 1899, Trevelyan
had sent Governor Roosevelt a copy
of the first part of his history, “Ihe
American Revolution.” which made
a deep impression on its recipient
and which he praised for “its in
terest, delightful humor, lbsolute
fair-mindedness and exactness of
narrative," an opinion which was
shared by Senator Lodge ar.d Klihu
Root, both of whom later joined
with Roosevelt in buying a silver
‘ loving-cun and sending it to S.r
George as a token of their appreci
ation. Roosevelt, his biographer
says, was always on the alert ftr
writers of “even moderate fame”
and encouraged them with friendly
letters and invitations to visit him
at the White House or Oyster Bay.
The books that made the Presi
dent happy covered a remarkable
range — history, fiction, philosophy.

travel, zoology, ornithology, an
thropology, religion, and art—and
he said they gave him ease and
relaxation he could get in no other
way, “not even on horseback!”
Statements and apothegms char
acteristically Rooseveltian abound in
this collection of letters. Some of
them are here reproduced:
“A great free people owes it to
itself and to mankind not to sink
into helplessness before the powers
of evil.”
“Unfortunately for us, small men
do most of the historic teaching in
the colleges. The great historian
must have the scientific spirit, able
to marshal and weigh the facts.”
“The presidential office tends to
nut a premium upon a man’s keep
ing out of trouble rather than upon
his accomplishing results. The elec
torate is very apt to vote with its
back to the future.”
“I do not think the average Am
erican multi-millionaire a very high
type and I do not much admire him.
On the whole our people are, spir
itually as well as materially, on the
average better and not worse off
than they were 100 years ago."
“Each man knows where his own
shoe pinches. 1 have had a most
vivid realization of what it must
have meant to Abraham Lincoln, in
the midst of the heartbreaking anxi
eties of the Civil war, to have to
take up his time trying to satisfy
candidates for postmaster."
"There are numerous and grave
evils incident to free government,
but after all is said and done I can
not imagine any real man being
willing to live under any other svs- ■
tern.”
“Benedict Arnold! What a base
web was shot through the woof of
his wild daring! He was at heart
a Lucifer, that child of thunder >n 1
lover of the battle’s hottest heat.”
“The more I read Carlyle the
more hearty grows my contempt for
his profound untruthfulness and for
his shrieking deification of shams!”
“I have never understood public
men who get nervous about assas
sination. (Written shortly after the
attack upon his life in Milwaukee
in 1912.) For the last 11 years
I have, of course, understood that
I might at any time be shot, and
probably would be shot sometime.
I think I have come off uncommonly
well. I cannot, understand any seri
ous-minded public man not be in r so
absorbed in the great and vital
questions with which he has to deal
as to exclude thoughts of assassina
tion. It is not a question of cour
age.”
Colonel Roosevelt, in what was
piooabl..- one of his last Itd'cr; to
Sir Ceorge. in 191S, referred i1 the
fact that his four sons and a son
in-law were fighting for the Allies.
After referring to them in term
of affection and that he would not
for anything “have them anywhere
else,” he concluded: “I fear we
would welcome their return home,
each with an arm or a leg off, so
that they could feel that they had
played their parts manfully.—and
yet we could have them back!”
