President Butler OF Columbia has been
abroad three months. most Of which he
.nent in Germany. He breakfaeted twice
with the Emperor William and had many
conversations with him. all in English.
President Butler was surprised when he
was asked If the Emperor had command
NJ American slang, as had been reported
ina cabled interview. He said that it was
NO, necessary for the Emperor to use slang.
,s he had fine knowledge Of the use Of
classical English. In his conversations
~ith the Kaiser, President Butler said he
had not heard word Of slang.
The Emperor President Butler said,
'has a charming and forceful personality.
II is surprising how closely in touch he is
with the United States, and how much he
knows about us, particularly our industrial
and commercial condition. He has talked
With Prince Henry much on the subject
Of the latter's visit to America and has
held frequent conversations with all persons
Who came over with the Prince.
He also studies with avidity much that
kprinted in the newspapers and magazines
about American affairs He has the inn
nression that we will have to handle soon
come OF the Old World problems, such as
the pensioning Of aged workmen, and he
expressed surprise that tn United States
had not AIKEN some sort OF action on this
subject. His observations about the de-
velopment Of this country were accurate
and profound. He said that no country
was now looked up to 30 much as America,
and the fact that peace had been arranged
here through the agency Of President Roose-
yeat had done much to increase American
pt;s.iSe.
Everywhere in Germany. in little towns
and big cities the people were yearuing
for news Of the proceedings at Ports
mouth The newspapers gave. complete
account Of the progress Of the negotia-
tions day by day, with comment and philo-
sophie reflections. The Emperor and Presi-
dent Roosevelt are alike in many respects.
Each loves his own country with the sort
Of love that begets a strenuous desire for
her advancement both are great readers,
not only Of the modern novels. but OF all
things uplifting in the arts and sciences.
In spite Of his many duties and his devo-
ion to learning the Emperor finds time
| to talk to all kinds Of people.
President Butler said that there was gen.
eral satisfaction in Europe over the con-
clusion OF the war in the East, as it was
thought that its continue ton would ha We
on Europe, particularly France, where 80
large an amount Of the Russian loan had
teen placed. 1t was the impression that
II japan had continued the struggle and
gained victory after victory she would
have to borrow so vast sum that it might
upset the fnanca equilibrium Of the world.
Victories at such price would not he to
her anything like 80 desirable as the peace
she had won by generosity.
President Butler, expressed some do ubt
Assembly granted by the. Gar. He was
Inclined to think that there was little
authority given by it. There was no public
opinion in Russia. Whatever thinking there
was there was done by the higher classes,
the people not having awakened to the
sltration.
The most disturbing factor in European
Politics, President Butler declared, was the
continual ragging Of the German and Eng
lsh newspapers and magazines. The an
tasonsln was chiefly of journalistic kind.
As the people themselves had disposition
to be friendly There seemed to be no
reason, Us James Bryce had said In COM
munication to a German newspaper. why
commercial and industrial rivalry should
break the friendship between the nations.
