(By Cable to The Times)
Spesia, Italy, April 7 A new
, Theodore Roosevelt arrived here to
day, fit was not the leader of men
and the international personage' that
stepped from the Rome Express this
morning with his wife it was the
bridegroom. . Casting aside grave
problems, Mr. Roosevelt gave himself
up to the sentimental journey along
the Riviera,' following the course he
and his bride took 23 years ago.
No bride' and bridegroom could
have been more blithe, than the for
mer president and his wife when they
took their first view of the gay Gulf
Of "Genoa. 1 Theyiiriahaged, with a
bit-of maneuvering to evade expect
ant crowds and began their period of
enjoyment In isolation. ....
The Roosevelta went to a hotel
for . breakfast and then gave them
selves up for awhile to sight-seeing.
In spite of the great curiosity among
the (ourlsts and health-seekers here,
their known desire to be left alone
gave them much- more privacy than
they had . enjoyed since meeting in
Africa. - - '
Mr. Roosevelt desires opportunity
to rest and apparently he is in need
of a period of recuperation. His
hunting trip put him in fine fettle
and his physical condition when he
reached Khartoum was better than it
had been in years.
The whirl of entertainment and
speech-making In Egypt, however,
followed so closely by his strenuous
stay In Rome, In . which he had
scarcely, an hour to himself, told on
him. Fear of being misunderstood in
the position he took in the dlsphte
with the Vatican added gretly to his
cares. It is known that the incident
caused him considerable worry,
though he has not admitted it In any
way. . .;,
Today, however, he dropped all
thought of anything but gaiety. Not
until he reaches Porto Maurlzio will
he again take up public matters
there he' may meet Gilford Pinchot,
ex-chief forester. -" '
Meanwhile the Roosevelts h6pe to
be as much alone as Is possible for
persons of prominence, with Kermlt
and Miss Ethel left In. Rome and the
correspondent asked to keep them
