BERLIN. May 11.--Disregarding
the advice of Prof. Fraenkei. noted
throat specialist. Cot. Roosevelt left
Berlin early to-day TO attend the
military msnoeuvrcs at Doeberitz,
where he was the guest OF the Kaiser
Herr Fraenkel advised the colonel
70 remain indoors all day and give
his threat n complete rest AZ the
only means OF insuring his being able
20 deliver his lecture at the Cniver-
Stty of Berlin tomorrow. Col. Roose-
veit's aiiment was diagnosed az laryn-
gifts in q mild form, Prof. Fraenkei
now doubts whether Roosevelt will
be able TO speak above a whisper to-
morrow, but hts fears are secuted by
the redoubtable ex-F-esident. who
ayn-Ae-wAif fnnhe-h himself heard
-oomehow or other"
The manoeuvres at Doeberitz were
strictly private. not even the news
paper men being permitted to attend.
~ Z special mark of respect Mrs.
Roosevelt. Kermit and Misc Ether
were invited and attended.
The colonel wore his military coat
and SLOUGH hat and the Kaiser was
In the uniform OF field marshal,
u
arm Of his overcoat. The two men
were scarcely ten feet apart at any
time during the rnanoeuvres and they
chAtted as excitedly as boys.
The Kaiser seemed proud to chew
the efficiency of the various branches
0f hts army. his only disappointment
bodng ths failure OF the balloon corps
aboard the military dirigible Gross
III. TO appear. The balloon assembled
from Its headquarters at Tegel, but
Nerce gale forced the crew to absn-
don the flight to Deeheritz.
Colonel Enthusiastic.
Two regiments Of artillery, a troop
OF cavalry. q brigade of infantry. a
corps OF sappers and an automo bile
corps participated In the manoeuvres.
They represented the best in the Ger
man army, and Roosevelt was loud
ia his praise OF the manoeuvres, both
10 the Kaiser and to the newspaper
men who awaited him outside the
seld.
Ihe manoeuvres wound up with a
sham battle. during which Mr.. Roose-
welt grew SO excited that his voice
failed him completely, -.
Other features of the manoeuvres
that greatly Interested Col, Roosevelt
and which the Kaiser explained to
him In detail! were the work OF the
telegraph, telephone and other tech
nicaI branches The Katser's int
mate. knowlsdEe of every phase of
army work was surprising to the
colonel. despite the kaiser's reputa-
ton for being a close student of mill
fAry conditions.
Col Roosevelt refused any COM
parison between the manoeuvres ne
witnessed to-day and the French army
~ ttncenness. The correspondents.
however, got the impression that he
was far more deeply interested in
tO-dAy's manoeuvres. After the ma
nOeuvres the Rooseveits returned 10
the American embassy. This after
noon they motored about the city,
although the colonel returned to the
embassy early to undergo another
treatment for hts throat.
Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg
will give dinner tonight In Roose-
veit's honor. which Is intended to
take the place OF the state dinner
that the Kaiser would have given
had not the death of King Edward
changed the whole plan for the colo
isis entertainment
Notwithstanding the fact that the
British embassy seconded the kaiser's
participation In the manoeuvres as In
n0wise rejecting on the genuineness
Of the kaisers grief for his uncle,
the wisdom of the entertainment In
R00Axyelt's honor is generally doubt
I'd. The chancellor strongly advised
against the manoeuvres. but as 1t was
the one thing OH which the Kaiser
had set his heart. the former was
Overruled.
