That President Roosevelt is anxious

the Far East, and that he would regard
the conclusion Of peace. through ef-
forts initiated by himself. as the crown
ing achievement of his career, Is wen
known. After the capture of Port A.
thur by the Japanese. the President at
tempted in the most delicate way to
sound the two belligerents as well as
the neutral powers on this subject. But
Russia then still had confidence in Ku-
deaf ear to all suggestions OF peace.
Then came the battle OF Mukden, with
its bloody record of 100.000 dead. With
such a frightfuI example of the horrors
of war actually at hand TO strengthen
his appeals, President Roosevelt renew

he President said

The President said;
I want to say q word as to govern
mental polIcv in which I feel the whole
country ought to take a great interest,
and which is itself but part OF gen
eraI policy into which I think our Gov
ernment must ge. I have spoken of the
policy of extending the powers of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and
giving them particularly the power to fix
rates and to have the rates that they
fix go into effect practically at once. As
I say, that represents in nay mind, part
of what should be the general policy
of this country.
THE policy of giving not to the State.
but TO the National Government. an in
creased supervisory and regulatory
power over corporations, is the first
step, and, to my mind, the most impor-
tant step. In the days Of the fathers
of the older among you the highways
of commerce for civilized nations We're
what they had always been; that is,
waterways and roads. Therefore. they
were open TO all who chose TO travel
upon them. Within the last two gene
rations, We have seen systems grow
up, and now the typical highway of com
merce Is the railroad. Compared to the
railroad the ordinary road for wheeled

A BIG PUBLIC CELEBRATION
City Council Presents Copy of Authors
Works to Every Pupil in
State Schools.

BERLIN, May 9.-The hundredth an
niYersary of Schiller's death is being
celebrated here today On a big scale
BY special order of the Kaiser a
holiday is being observed IN all Prus-
sian state schools.
AT noon today there was q public
celebration at the foot OF SchiIler's 5
monument, which stands in the center
of the Gerdarmen market in front Of the
Royal Theater. Representatives of the
government, the municipality, as well
as of universities. schools, literary and
scientific associations ana theaters all
over Germany, We're present. Speeches
were delivered ON Schiller's contribu-
tions to literature and general culture of
Germany, and wreaths We're laid at
the foot of the monumenr.
During the celebration typical figures
from Schiller's dramas appeared on the
flight of stairs leading up to the Royal
Theater, so that they were plainly Wis
ible in the background TO all partici-
tionS TO literature and general culture or
coo boys and girls assisted IN the cere-

has bought 5000 seats in the theaters
for presentation to the Work:ngmen.
Similar Schiller celebrations are TAX

Germany. The unusual honors paid TO
one OF the great founders of modern
German culture are largely due 10 the
pronounced military tastes do not pre-
vent him from approaching the impor-
tant part played by Schiller In the his
tory of the German nation.
