Meet AffectionateIy.
The two friends, meeting after six
toon months separation with all the
warmth that used to characterize
their association in Washington,
stamped each other again on arms and
shoulders.
And so it went throughout the af-
ternoon. When Col. Roosevelt was
presdent and Mr.. Taft was secre-
tary of war their meetings in the ex-
ecutive offices at Washington were
always characterized by the same cor
diality that was shown today. White
House attaches who witnessed the
greeting this afternoon said it was
just like the old days. There was a
rapid fire of conversation. The meet
ing was everything that the friends of
President Taft have claimed it would
be, and the persistent prophesies OF
those who have insisted all along that
a coolness had developed between the
two men, proved false.
