profuse greetings from his Imperia
Master.
The American people," said the EN-

interest taken in their President by tn,

had learned Of your President and the
manner of man he is, came to me and
asked me, knowing that had the honor
of knowing him personally, to tell them
something more about him. Through
President of the United States, through
Ills disinterested Intervention which re-
suited in peace between Japan and
Russia, saved the industries of Europe
from depression and possibly averted
spread of the war to other nations.
Had this untoward result happened

following the announcement Of peace
our industries began to boom again, and

many there was felt the impetus that
came with the removal of the fear OF

Is it any wonder that there should be a
grateful feeling toward the President

the sympathetic approval not only of
this country. but of every people on the
earth DESTROYS of seeing the cause of
peace and humanity advanced?

| 1T is we'll known, of course, that
your President had the cordial support
OF the Kaiser in all that he did look
ing to the ending of the war in the
East. The President of the United
states representing people not inter-
ested in any way in the European al
liances, could do things that probably
could not have been done by any Of
the sovereigns of Europe. He could

suspicion that his official acts were ami
mated by a desire to serve his own
country's ends. In Europe / have wit

OF and went to Oyster Bay to vote.
Really 1t does seem as though thare
should be no necessity for such vigil
lance in this country, and yet it is a
fact that the statue Of Frederick the
Great, presented to the War College
by the German Emperor, is guarded
night and day by soldiers. armed with
krag-Jorgensen rifles, with fixed bayo-
nets This has been going on ever since
the attempt Of a crank to destroy the
statue with bomb. The handsome
bronze figure is further protected by a
strong picket fence. which incioses it
on all sides.
The work of roofing the new War
College will be started at once, the
| walls Of the building being practically
completed save for the mounting of
the enormous stone eagle over the main
entrance. The stone steps, balustrades,
pedestais, arcades. ETC., forming the ap-
proaches are completed, and the inn
provement of the grounds will be start
ed in few weeks.

send them South and colOnize them.
He says that most Of the Italians COM

pursuits, and that they must have some
special training before they can be put
