regrettable incident occurred on the ar
rival of the Roosevelt party at Berlin from
| Stockholm this morning, when the royai
| carriages intended for their use 1aiied 10
| reach the station In time, and Ambassador
| Hill was missing from among the of1clais
who had gathered to greet the ex-Presioent.
| This was due to g MISUNDERSTANDING re-
garaing the arrival OF the special tram
The Roosevelts drove to the American En-
bassy, and shortly afterward Mr.. Roose-
welt kept an appointment with Professor
Fraenkel, a throat specialist, who made a
careful examination.
At Potsdarn the Emperor and Empress
treated their American guests with great
cordiality, enga ging them in conversation
in the small drawing room, with other
members OF the royal family, before
f4z xt,Ar
guests had gone, conducted Mr.. Roosevelt
and his family through the Sans Souci
Palace.
Plans for a Sham Battle.
The Emperor has arranged for a sham
battle for Tomorrow, in which twelve thou
sand men of all arms Will take part 1t is
doubtful, however, whether Mr.. Roosevelt
can attend, as he is taking great care OF
his throat, SO that he may be able to de-
liver his lecture before the university on
Thursday Professor Fraenl1el will make
another examination tomorrow morning,
and will then decide whether it viii be ad
visaple for the ex-President to visit the
battlefield.
Without making any definite statement
regarding the condition in which he found
Mr.. Roosevelts throat, the physician eX-
planned that laryngitis often follows long
residence In the tropics, and that in his
opinion the hoarseness in this case IS not
due to the strain OF speaking. Mr.. Roosevelt
thinks he will be well within week.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not attend the dinner
given by Ambassador and Mrs Hin at the
American Embassy this evening, but re
manned in his rooms, in order to rest and
spare exertion to his throat. He retired
early, and expects to attend the maneuvres
tomorrow morning.
No word has yet reached Mr.. Roosevelt
regarding the possibility of his being named
as special envoy to the funeral OF the late
King Edward.
Mr.. Roosevelt vas escorted to Potsdam
