A group of Oyster Bay Progressives Were visitors at the Roosevelt homo and witnessed the notification. Reply to Delegation. Colonel Roosevelt's reply to the delegation follows: "I am naturally very deeply touched and pleased by your action. I accept It absolutely In the spirit which you have taken It. You are for me be cause you regard m as representing and embodying the aggressive move ment for thoroughgoing Americanism and thoroughgoing preparedness. Your devotion is to the cause and to the man only In so far as he for the time being embodies the cause. That is precisely the attitude I took in my Trinidad statement. I now hold, and shall continue to hold, this a great time of crisis in our country's history, because it Is a great crisis In the history of the world. If we are unprepared; if we are split and sundered by rivalries of creed, of section and national origin; if our country's action is to be condi tioned by helplessness without and of the hyphenate within, the career of the United States as a great factor in the world's civilization Is at an end.

A jury was selected In less than three hours and the district attorney consumed only half an hour In his formal presentation of the state's case.

Aside from the address of the district attorney, in which he recited Waite's life history and gave a complete resume of the circumstances lead ing up to the crime to which Waite already has confessed, the outstanding feature of the trial today was the testimony of Dr. Albertus Adair Moore.

Francis Dyke LONDON, May financial secretary of the treasury, speaking in the house of commons on the agricultural situation today, made, a somewhat disturbing statement. It was imperative, Mr. Acland said, thaf farmers should drop their prejudice against the employment of female labor. A breakdown in home supplies was only avoidable if the labor situation did not grow worse. The danger point of greatly decreased production already has been readied and even as were going, it was now fearedthings that Kngland could not hope to maintain her production on last year's level. If more men were swept into the army from the farms, she could only escape famine by diverting to importation of foodstuffs ships which are so urgently needed for the transport of munitions. "AHd," 'Mr. Acland concluded, "we are unable to nay whether there will be ships to divert that way." Two candidates seek the honor of succeeding Mrs. Percy V.

The flying columns of the Eighth and Fourteenth cavalry, detailed by Maj. Gen. Frederick Funston to give cuase io me Danaic raiaers or uienn Springs and Boquillas, have returned to American soil near Boquillas. Col. Frederick W. Sibley, commander of the expendition, forded the Rio Grande with the two troops of the Fourteenth detailed, to from Fort Clark late yesterday afternoon. ( Maj. George T. Langhorne, at the head of troops A and B of the Eighth, headquarters Fort Bliss, followed shortly after. the-pursuit The expedition was in Mexico just ten days. It failed to capture or wipe out the main body of the Big Bend marauders, but it made prisoners of four of the bandits and left behind two others desperately wounded. In addition it rescued Jesse Deemer, Boquillas storekeeper, and Monroe Payne, a negro kidnaped by the Mexicans as they took their last desperate fling before, fleeing south beyond the international boundary. Return Imperative. The return of the expedition was imperative for etrategical reasons. It had penetrated so far Into the interior, without the semblance of a line of communication, that it was not prepared for possible eventualities. With no hope of reinforcements, which had been declared unavailable, it was impossible for it to continue Its foray. Then, too, the main object of its campaign had been accomplished in the release of Deemer and Payne. News of the return of Colonel Sibley ana Major Langhorne, reached Mara thon almost a day after it had been safely accomplished. Two moving pic ture photographers, who accompanied the invaders, brought the first story. It was verified later in the day in dispatches to Captain Chambers, base quartermaster. According to the information reaching here Major Langhorne, with his advanced detachment, penetrated between 150 and 175 miles into Mexico before he turned northward again.
