Anticipating the story, reporters filled every bit of room in his ex- ecutive office. The chief execu- tive waited until the newsmen had wedged themselves in. Tense silence, Roosevelt sol- emnly picked up a paper before him, cleared his throat and began to read. It was an anti-climax. The letter had to do with the Iron and Steel Institute. Someone laughed. Others joined in. The president, chuckled. The tension was broken. Roosevelt laid the letter aside and announced that the United States had recognized Russia. He smiled as he watched the attempt of the news gatherers to preserve @ measure of decorum and yet get to waiting wires as quickly as possible, forever remain normal and friendly.” Those were the words with which President Roosevelt and Maxim Lit- vinoff closed the 16-vear-old gap in official kinship.

With a smile Roosevelt told the people celebrating the bicentennial of the founding of the colony of Georgia: “The saving grace of America lies in the fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans are possessed of two great qualities—a sense of hu- mor and a sense of ion. “With the one they smile at those who would divide up all the money in the nation on a per capita basis every Saturday night and at those who lament that they would rather possess pounds and francs than dollars. “With our sense of proportion we understand and accept the fact that in the short space of one year we can- not cure the chronic illness that beset us for a dozen years, nor restore the social and economic order with equal and simultaneous success in every part of the nation and in every walk ot life.” CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ASKS RETURN TO GOLD Washington, Nov. 18.—(?}—Term- ing the administration monetary pol- icy a breeder of “widespread confusion and disquiet,” the board of the Cham- ber of Commerce of the United States Saturday urged an immediate an- nouncement of intention to return to the gold standard soon.

The next exchange of kicks, shortly before the period ended, led to a break for the home side. Lund coming up the field in full cry after catching a lofty punt, fumbled as he was tackled at midfield and Herman ees recovered for the Wolver- es.
