 Berlin, May 1O--Because President Roosevelt's special train arrived pre- cisely on time today there was much confusion in the reception plans at the railway station. The authorities had been informed that the train was 30 minutes late and with the exception of Baron Won Schoen. the minister of foreign affairs. and his brilliant staff, there was no one at the station to meet the Colonel The Kaiser had planned to have his Imperial Guard drawn up at the station to welcome the Colonel and to convey the Roose- velts to the American Embassy Tn the Imperial carriages
 The guard, resplendent in gold and lace, and the Imperial carriages With their trappings all arrived, however, after the Roosevelts had been bundled into taxfcabs and started for the Ern- bassy.
 When the Kaiser heard of the mis- take he was greatly 'fussed'' and upbraided those in charge of the plans for their carelessneSs. The shadow of King Edwards death was clearly ir evidence in the German capital and instead of the ifanfire and wild acclaim which would have greeted the Ex-Pres- ident had the Kaiser adhered to his original purpose of receiving Roosevelt in person and takinc him to the pal ace as his own and the nations guest, the distinguished visitor found the populace keenly interested but sub- dued.
 The virtual retirement of the Kaiser during Roosevelt's stay in Berlin and the cancellation of many of the func- tions planned. in his honor have rob bed the world of a spectacle that 1t was looking forward to with unfeigned interest Roosevelt and the Kaiser have always been considered two of kind'' Roosevelt has been called the the Roosevelt of Europe" What these two would do when they got to- gether has been subject of specula- ton ever, since it was known that Roosevelt would visit Berlin.

The first of these took place at l o'clock this aft ernoon at the Pottsdam Palace where The greeting the Kaiser extended was cordial in the extreme though it was evident that he was much depressed by his royal uncle's death.
 The Roosevelts remained some time at the palace and enjoyed themselves
 
 Prince Wilhelm and his family were also at the palace. Leaving the pal ace the Roosevelts motored back to the Embassy where they will remain as Ambassador Hills guests during their stay here. Tie next meeting between the Colonel and the Kaiser will take place at the University of Berlin, Thursday. when Roosevelt de- livers the third of his European lec- lures. It is probable that third and more extended meeting will be ar- ranged.
 The train bearing the Roosevelts and newspaper correspondents arrived at o'clock The public had not been thrown off it's guard by the announce ment that the train was late. and great crowds were packed about the station. The police had great diff culty in keeping the crowd back from the roped pathway that led from the station to the place reserved for the Imperial carriages.
 Won Schoen explained the absence of the Imperial Guards and Rooseve1t's enjoyment of the joke was as great as even Schoen's embarrassment. The glitter of Von Schoen's staff gave the Roosevelts an inkling of what might have been their welcome had the orig
