BERLIN. April 18.-Many Berliners
seem to regard Col. Roosevelt's forth
coming visit as a freak and are endeav-
oring to transform 1t into a money max
ing event
The manager of one of the big hotels
called upon a prominent American Of
hcial and gravely proposed that the hotel
man should arrange concert at the
hotel in honor of Col Roosevelt The
hotel man said seriously:
I'VE can get from S15 to $50 seat from
people who are eager to see the colonel"
Similar suggestions. received from some
thirty other Berliners, were rejected by
the American official.
One of the difficulties connected with
Mr.. Roosevelt's visit is in regard to his
lecture at the university. The largest
hall in the university has q seating ca
pacity of only about 300, while thousands
of applications have been received from
persons who are anxious to sit in the
same hall with the distinguished visitor.
The kaiser. as well as Col. Roosevelt, has
animated that he desired that as many
of the students as pOssibles should at
tend the lecture. The university authori-
ties. are in despair. They have con-
sfderee ff auessfon OF entindinE ladies.
but they cannot very we'll do that be-
cause they have already invited all the
women connected with the American en-
bassy.
