BRITISH PRESS PRAISES ROOSEVELT'S SPEECHES

Says He Hits Mark Though Not Subtle Thinker

LONDON, April 25.—Theodore Roosevelt's Sorbonne address is printed in extenso in the British newspapers and is the subject of editorial comment. All make reference to the triteness of the ex-president's themes, which the Standard considers better suited for a platform audience than for the flower of Parisian intellectuals. At the same time, all concede the sound and healthy gospel is doubly welcome, as the Daily Graphic remarks, "because the world is" waking to the consciousness of intellectual and moral hunger which only these truths can satisfy." In the same strain, the Chronicle discusses the source of Roosevelt's unquestioned power and influence, und says: '. - "He is not a subtle tinker, but knows the majority of mankind like to hear the eternal verities thrust at them i through a megaphone. He knows also his preachings, if universally pracj ticed, would mean a regenerated world, and a large part of the effect they ' produce comes from the knowledge i that Roosevelt does practice what he I preaches and that the qualities he I recommends he has himself displayed before all men's eyes with astounding results."
