Wnshlngton. — rresident Wilson's flrst h frLs'iillve recoimnendatlon based on llis study of conditions In Kurope lp,,ks to Ihe relief of distress of pop- ulail"iiR "outside of Gcrmiiny" which are threeatened with starvation.
riie text of the I'resldent's message | foll""'s:
Kxtciided   Invcsl ijrallon   nnd   consld- erntion of the food sittiiitlon In certain ; parts  of  Kurope   disclose   thnt   essen- tinlly the urban populations In certiiin | aroiis lire not only faced with absolute BtarvHllon   during  the  coming  winter, \ but iluit many of the populations are uniililc   to   flnd   Immediate   resources wltli   wlilcb   to   purchiise   their   food, i These  regions have been  so subjected to destruction by war, not only of Uielr foodstuffs,   but   of   their   financial   re- »oiirr(>s, and  their iiroduction and ex¬ ports, that they are utterly  Incapable of flniilng  any  resources  that can   be converted  Into  Inlernatlonal exchange for food purcliases.
Willie tbe secretary of tbe treasury can accept obligations of certain gov¬ ernments and through these measures their situations can be cared for tem- | poriirlly, there are still others through easietii and southern Kurope where lucli arrangements catinot be mnde. : This applies more particularly to the liberated peoples of Austria, Turkey, riilii".d and western Husshi. In these coiuitries freedom nnd governments will slowly emerge from chaos and re¬ quire our every assistance.
Tlie total sbipmeiits of foodstuffs from the United Stales lo all ptirts of Europe during tbe next seven months will he likely to-^xeeed .$1,500,000,000, and frnm our nlnnidiince we can sure¬ ly nff'ird to offer succor lo these coun¬ tries destitute of resources and crediLs. The tninlmum sinns upon which this wurli cun he carried nn for the next I'x monihs In Ihe coiiiitrles iiieiilHUied win nmount to at least .$100,00O.0<»O for such services and sap|)lies ns we can render, and even Ihis sum contem¬ plates Ihe finding of resources by so muili of the po[nilation ns can do so and as much assistance ns can be giv¬ en by the allied governments. The high mission of the .\merli-iin people tn flnd a remedy for starvation and ab- suUite anarchy renders It necessary thnt we should-undertake tbe most lib¬ eral assistance to these destitute re¬ gions.
The situation Is one of extreme nrj,'! ncy, for foo<lslufr8 must I e placed In certain localities within the next 1.5 to :•.!') dnya If human life and order are 10 lic preserved. I therefore retftiest that ynu shouhl ask Congress to nnike avalliililo to me nn Itnmedlate appro- prluilon of .$100,(XK),(XX3 for the broad purpose of providing foodslulTs nnfl ur^'ii.t 8|*pplles and for the Iriinsporta- tlnn and adndnlstratlon thereof to such populntlona In Kurope, outside of Oer- mniiv, as may be determined upon hy mt' from time to time as necessary.
I wish to appeal to tbe great sense of charity and good will of tbe .Amer¬ lcnn people toward the sulTerlnK and to iJHcp this act u[)on a primarily hu- maiiliarlan basis of the flrst magni¬ tude While the sum of nioiiey Is In Itself large, It Is so small compared to the expenditures we have undertaken In the hope of l)etlerlng the world tbnt It becomes a mere pittance compared to the results that will be obtained from It and tbe lasting effect that will reinnin In the United States through an net of sucli broad humiiiilty and itntesnuinllke Influi'iice.

Col. Uoosevelt sulTered a pulmon¬ ary embol.Bm which nearly (ost hlra bis life three weeks before he left Uoosevelt hospital on Christmas day, it was learned .Vlouiiay. .Nothing re¬ garding this apiiroacli lo death has hitherto become known, bul it wus revealed by Ur. Richards in telling of the Colonel's exact condition during his last illness.
In  the same manner as   his death wa.s  caused,  a clot  of  blood   became dotached     from a thrombosed     vein. f)n Ihe former occasion, however, the , passage of  this clot  through  the ar-i | lories to the lungs or the br^iin   was! •becked- in time to save the patient's life.     Dr.    Richards   revealed   in   his j statement  that  the Colonel's  inflam- nitory rheumatism,     from     which he} suffdred acutely at times,  was  trace-j able twenty years back, to an  infec¬ tion   spread   to  nearly  all   the  joints, in  the Colonel's body    as the    years went on.
Dr. Richards denied statements which have been publishe.d from time to time that Colonel Roosevelt suffer¬ ed from sciatica as well as rheuma¬ tism. The physician assented also that the colonel had never suffered , with mastoditis, as was reported when ho went und("'r an operation about a year ago for an abscess of the  inner ear,  and  that  neither  this

•'Colonel Roosevelt has been sick in Roosevelt Hospital for the past seven weeks suffering from a severe attack of inflammatory rlieumatism. He re.sponded readily to the ordinary treatment for such cases and is now able to go home."

Heniie't's   (lomestic   troubb*   have resulted     in    him     being   haled    into court several times.     On one of these occasion.^.   Judge   McKeen   sentenced him to pay $G a week toward the suji port  of his family.     He was allowed to go  on   his  own  recognizance after, he had  promisp<l  to comply  with the order      Hut   his  word   was  worthless and he    skipped    out    of    lown.     A bench   warrant   was  subsequently   is-j sued  iriT his arrest. j
Saturday  night.  Bennett <"alled  his | wife who lives on Spruce street, near | F:ifventh   stie«t.  Easton.  to  the  tele-: jihone .

Mrs. Bennett had followed .Sim¬ mers' advice and armed herself Vhen Bennett attarked her she place 1 the weap<in against h's hreast, shut her eyes and pulled the tricker. The weapon failed to explode Btif for th" fact that the cartridge was defective. the bullet would have gone through the man's heart.
