sided. The ambassador cited the Ger
man Historian Neumann's remark:
In what age or century will you find
SO large an array of rulers, every one
OF them man of integrity and every
one of them a man of high capacity. as
in the case of the long series Of presi-
dents of the United States; every one,
even by the avowal of his enemies, a
man of high character and ability"

Roosevelt's originality, surprising that
OF any known president except Lincoln,
and to the variety of his gifts, UNEQUAL
ed by any predecessor except John
Quincy Adams. Like Jefferson. he
added, 'he has decent respect for the
opinion of mankind
After alluding to the influence of
German culture in the development of
the republic and in the enrichment of
American civilization. Mr.. White said:

urally desires the best relations be-
tween the United States and all other
parts of the world, especially between
the United States and Germany He
has more than once uttered this idea
IN public, and those who know him best
know from his expressions in private
that German ideals and German devo-
ton to truth and duty are especially
recognized and honored by him. With
in the past year, he said to an old
friend, who was leaving him in order
to return to Europe:
II have had love and admiration
for Germany from my boyhood, and
when l say this I mean it. You know
me we'll enough to be sure that when
| say thing mean it,
Il may add that as he made the re-
mark quoted, German book by Ger
man professor was lying open on his
table. Those who know him best know
that, with the possible exception of
Garfield, no president ever so fully un-
derstood what Germany has given and
is giving to civilization. But, alas.
Garfield was never granted that which
he had so lOnged for and planned for,
the opportunity to visit Germany and
study that which Germany offers. In
Mr.. Roosevelt's attitude towards for
eign governments we may be sure he
will be firm and strong, but never true.
