EULOGY OF MIR. TAFT
ROOSEVELT PUTS OUT ANOTHER
 DOCUMENT.
The Presidents Opinion of the Presi- dent-eIect Will Be Issued to
 vfsit0Rs a An "Inaug- ural Souvenir. .1

Washington, Feb. 24.-The remark able feature of the Inaugural souve- mir" issued by the committee In charge of the inaugural ceremonis.is biographical sketch of President-eiect Taft by Prsident Roosevelt.
 It has peculiar significance in view of rumors published to the effect that friction existed between Roosevelt and Taft. The keynote of the Presidents sketch may be found in these words:
 No man of better training. no man of more dauntless courage. of common sense and higher character. has ever come to the Presidency than William Howard Taft"
 The President, in concise terms, pre- cedes this statement with history or the President-eiect touching simply upon his public achievements. In one place. he says. referring to Taft as Solicitor-General:
 He won an enviable reputation and succeeded to a remarkable degree in combining entire fearlessness in stat ing and uphoiding his own convic- tions with the ability to avoid giving needless offense to those whose con- victions differ from his. It Is one of Mr. Tafts great gifts of usefulness that he possesses exactly the ability unfiinchingly to stand by the right and yield to do 1t with the minimum of offensiveness toward those who do not see matters as clearly as he does"
 The President refers to MT. Tafts judicial record. saying:
 Tt fell to MT. Taft to decide a number of cases in which he blazed in advance the trail that all our judges must, in the end, follow. This was notably the case both as to corpora tions and to the rights of labor"

The alarm Is the reports> are regarded as being much exaggerated. It is admit ted. however, that the situation Is not clear and will remain clouded until those powers which, like France are striving to maintain peace. make their voices heard at St. Petersburg and fn- duce Russia to notify Belgrade that in the event of war; Servia cannot rely upon either direct or indirect Russian support.
 The real key to the situation Is for the moment. Russia. whose decision Is eagerly awaited.
 The Sued Deutsche Reichsk orespon- denz which Is considered Chancellor von Buelow's organ. says:
 '-The Oriental situation is momenta rily controlled by the position which the powers have taken up.
