i the following.
| London, July s.-When Theodore
Roosevelt was here he had two inter
views with King George. Remarkable
rumors about the second interview are
circulating in important political and
court circles.
| The first conversation was formal
and ceremonial. The second. II Is said
now, was arranged especially so that
the former President could have q
heart-to-heart talk with the King. II
took place at a luncheon to which King
George had invited Colonel Roosevelt.
Except Queen Mary. nobody of conse-
quence was at the luncheon, as the
King and Mr.. Roosevelt could and did
talk with perfect freedom and frank
ness. Mrs. Roosevelt Joined the little
party some time after luncheon.
Inc world correspondent learns on
authority which cannot be gainsaid
lightly that at this second meeting Mr.,
roosevelt expressed to King George
his views In extenso on world politics,
especially with reference to Anglo
German relations and Anglo American
relations. and in direct connection with
the latter subject on Anglo Irish rela-
lions.
The King had had several confer
ences recently with Emperor William
so Mr.. Roosevelt could scarcely tell
HIS Majesty anything new about the
Emperors attitude toward England
an attitude influenced by the bad feel
Ing excited by the German navy scares
and reckless lingo .utterances by the
newspapers of both countries.
What He Told the Kaiser.
But the King did learn that Mr..
Roosevelt had told Emperor William in
Berlin how dangerous 1t would be to
German-Amertcan relations IL the lingo
agitation concerning Britain should
lead to the consequences which ex-
citaole publicists and politicians on
both sides seemed to regard as In
eritable,
Then the question of an Anglo-Amer-
lean arbitration treaty was discussed
Mr. Roosevelt frankly told the King
that as long as Americans OF Irish
oirth or parentage remain uncon-
ciliated by England there will be no
chance that the United States Senate
VIII ratify such treaty Furthermore
Mr.. Roosevelt insisted that the danger
TO Anglo American relations from the
same cause would be very grave should
crisis arise under circumstances in
which ordinary American sentiment
would favor England
King George regretfully admitted the
truth of Mr.. Roosevelt's representa-
tons the World correspondents infor-
nlants say. AT this point the CONVEX
sation between King George and the
former President naturally turned to
home rule for Island
Mr. Roosevelt advocated granting
home rule a. essential TO cementing
not only the British empire, but Anglo
American sentiment
1t is certain that before this inter
view with the King Mr.. Roosevelt had
obtained the opinions. not only of the
Irish leaders. with whom he has been
long familiar. but OF Irishmen who
are not connected with the home rule
movement, like Sir Horace Plunkett.
who expressed perfect willingness that
home rule should be tried under Ger.

| Pinchot Picked Up Information.
Besides. Clifford Pinchot, formerly
United States forester, and Mr. Roose.
| velt's intimate friend, made it his bust
ness, during his two protracted visits
to Ireland this year. to gather infor-
nation for Mr. Roosevelt from the
Irish Unionists whom he met at Sir
Horace Plunketts house in Dublin,
where he was guest. and from other
sources
| The net effect of this information
was that Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Pin
| chot realized that home rule Is inevi-
| table. and that there is no serious op.
position to it except by a coterie of the
Ulster Orangemen. They learned. too.
that the Tory feeling against home
rule. except among Irish Unionists and
their family connections in England.
has died out practically. and that at
| the last two general elections the old
anti-Irish cry was found wholly IN
effective for electioneering purposes.
King George sympathized with Mr..
Roosevelts arguments, the World
correspondent Is informed.
Subsequently His Majesty called to
him not only Premier Asquith, but
Lloyd George, Chancellor of ,the EX-
cheauer, and Arthur Balfour. formerly
Premier and now leader of the opposl-
ton in the House Of Commons, with a y
of whom he discussed. the views MT.
Roosevelt had laid before him.
