ERIIN. March 3O.-EmperOF VIII
liam has invited former President
IL ROOSEVELT 10 be his personal guest
nj the palace for three of the five days
Col0neI Roosevelt will spend la Ber-

The former President will arrive here
on the evening of May and Will be
entertained by David Jayne HILL the

when the emperor viii return 10 the
capital from the provinces.
Then Col. Roosevelt VIII go Ia the
palace.
The emperor viii throw court preee-
dence to the winds during Colonel
Roosevelt's stay. The masters of cere-
monies and the court chamberlains are
dismayed by the emperor's determine
ton to give a private and non-ottlclal
person precedence at the dinners and
elsewhere over everybody, even the
royal princes. The expectation is that

pairing surprises for the three days in

president the most of his time.
William Wants Information.

other things to meet representa- i've
German men" Professor Wheeler
also thought Mr.. Roosevelt might like
to hear some good music, 10 see one
or two galleries, and TO VISIT ffeaer-
lex the Greats country mousse sans
Souci, at Potsdam-
While the emperor did not say d.
rect1v he would follow the suggested
outline. il is likely he Will nave a us
tingufshed company TO dine Win MI
PooseveIt and will arrange for an OPP
ara in his honor. The University of
Rerlin will bestow the degree or doc
for of laws upon Colonel Roosevelt.
While the senate of the university mas
NOT vet acted upon the suggestion, II
will he brought before that BODY py
the rector and no doubt will be unanl-
mously adopted.
TIE American Association of Com
merce and Trade has invited him 10 be
present at a reception. he deciiheu
public dinner some months ago as ne
said his stay in Berlin would be snort,
and he did not think that he ought to
accent an invitation so long in ad-
vance. It is regarded as extremely IKE
Iv he will now agree to a reception, ana
American residents in Berlin viii have
an opportunity Of meeting him in TINS
way. -
Berlin Will Greet Him.
The newspapers have published eY-
erything available about the former
presidents utterances in Khartum and
subsequently, so that the general pub
lie is well informed as to his move
ments, and If any public opportunity
is afforded of greeting him the people
of Berlin are ready to avail themselves
of It, Already there is a great pres
sure to hear his lecture before the uni
versity and for invitations to the re-
ceptiOn of the American Association of
Commerce and Trade.
Colonel Roosevelt, some months ago,
in answer to the remark that he could
have a great reception in Berlin, said /:
81 shall be there simply as private
person. I am not one of those who
cling to the fringes of departed great
ness"
