BERLIN, May ia sham fight in
which 10000 German soldiers of all
arms took part occupied the attention
of Col. Roosevelt and Emperor William
this morning. After the battle, which
took place at Doberitz field, the whole
body of troops paraded before the for
mer president and the emperor, who
were standing side by side some twenty
PAGES in front of the gorgeous staff.
They saluted the colors of the various
commands, the emperor touching his
helmet and Col. Roosevelt lifting his
sombrero.
Speaking partly in English and partly
in German, the emperor, turning to COL
Roosevelt, said:
"You are the first civilian who has
ever reviewed our soldiers" and then to
the German officers:
1--WE are honored in having here the
distinguished colonel of the Rough Rid
ers."
The former president was five hours
in the saddle and spent much time
talking with the emperor. They drew
apart from the others and at times
were exceedingly vehement in their
gestures Col. Roosevelt wore a dingy
Khaki uniform, while the emperor and
his generals, in uniforms of blue with
gold helmets, made a striking contrast.
Col. Roosevelt said tonight that he
felt quite able to deliver his lecture to-
morrow before the university.
DR.. Fraenkel, who has been treating
the former presidents throat, said In
all probability he would permit his pa
tient to carry out his plans. 1t was
true, he said, that the coloners voice
was husky and would seem to be un-
equal to the task. but the doctor was
confident that he could clear it up.
A dinner was given at the American
