The Academy of Moral and Political Sciences at Paris, Decem- 

 ber 1 8, elected Theodore Roosevelt to a foreign associate member- 

 ship. With this honor he will be entitled, when delivering lectures at 

 the Sorbonne, to wear the plumed cap of an academician, a pearl- 

 handled sword and a suit embroidered with green palms. 



Air. Roosevelt received 25 votes out of a possible 28. One 

 blank ballot was cast and two of the electors refrained from voting. 



The " Temps," extolling the election of Theodore Roosevelt, 

 pays high tribute to Mr. Roosevelt's political and moral creed and 

 his insistence that neither individuals nor nations have the right to 

 shirk their duty. 



The "Temps" concludes: "Peace is praiseworthy, but its 

 desirability has been unduly exaggerated, if inspired by fear. Mr. 

 Roosevelt recalls to our age that * war is an evil, but not the greatest 

 of evils.' Especially as the messenger of national idealism he 

 merits the eminent distinction conferred upon him by the institute."
