White. former United States minister
at St. Petersburg, and more recently
United States ambassador at Berlin,

and President Roosevelt have many
points of resemblance. He says:
The kaiser is as much like Presl-
dent Roosevelt as a German could be.
and the president is as much like En-
perOr William as an American could
be. The differences between them
are national rather than tempera-
mental.
"They are alike in many things,
he continued. "There's a certain ply
sicaI resemblance to begin with. Both
are vigorous. strong men. Both are
fond OF hunting. Both are honest and
aggressive. Each is patriotic accord
ing to his lights. Each has tre-
menGCus faith in his own country and
both are what is called strenuOus.'
During his residence in Germany
Mr.. White had many opportunities to
study the emperor at close range. AS
United States ambassador Mr.. White
had every opportunity to meet the
