All Europe, kings and commoners
like, received Theodore as the most
distinguished of living Americans.
He was entertained by royalty and
nobility everywhere he went, and al
ways the people greeted him with
vociferous applause. What possibly
pleased the former president more
than all this was the fact that liter
airy and scientific circles received him
as a man of letters and science and
several learned societies elected him
to membership.
In Paris, Christiania, Berlin and Ok
ford Mr.. Roosevelt delivered scholarly
public addresses and the literary and
scientific circles opened to let him in

Emperor William had made great
plans for the entertainment of the ex.
president in Berlin, but the death Of
King Edward caused the curtailment
OF tia program to a considerable ex.
tent. Instead of being the kaiser's
guest in the palace, Mr.. Roosevelt
stopped at the American embassy,
and though William received him and
dined him and showed him the Ger.
man army in maneuvers, the more
spectacular and public features were
omitted. On May IL Mr.. Roosevelt de.
livered at the University of Berlin an
address on modern civilization which
was highly praised for its scholarly
qualities.
Having been appointed special am
bassador of the United States to at
tend the funeral of King Edward, Col
onel Roosevelt next crossed the chan
mel to England, and when the body of
the dead monarch was carried to the
tomb he was one of the remarkable
crowd of royal ~personages and distin-
guished men that followed the gun
carriage on which Edwards coffin was
borne. After the funeral he was re-
ceived by King George and Queen
Mary and by the widowed queen
mother, and in a quiet way made nee
essary by the mourning of the nation
much attention was shown him. This
eliminated, in London, by a reception
in the Guild Hall, at which the free
dom of the city in a gold casket was
presented to him.
He was the guest, thereafter. of
several prominent Englishmen, and
on June Z he delivered the Romanes
lecture at Oxford, which had been
postponed by the demise of the king.

MAIN QUESTION THAT CON.
FRONTS COUNTRY, DECLARES
FORMER FORESTER,
AT THE ST PAUL MEETING
Speech on Conservation.-Taft's
Name Not Mentioned; Roose-
veIt's Occasions Cheering.

st. Paul. - Before a large gather
ing which yelled enthusiastically at
the mention of the name of Theodore
Roosevelt and at a gathering that had
all the appearance of the Inaugural
ton of a third term movement for
Theodore Roosevelt, Clifford Pinchot,
deposed national forester, delivered
his fighting talk"
The address was delivered at the
banquet given by the st. Paul Roose-
welt club at the Ryan hotel to Mr..
Pinchot and to James r. Garfield, for
mer secretary of the interior.
Mr.. Garfield and Mr.. Pinchot were
the chief speakers in a program which
included a happy address by Gov. A.
O. Eberhart.
1t was an enthusiastic gathering,
and significant as pointing to the pur-
pose of the affair, the name of Presi-
dent William II. Taft was not men,
toned, although some indirect refer
ences made by the speakers might
have been aimed at the nations eX-
ecutive.
Another significant feature of the
affair was that in opening his ad-
dress, Mr.. Pinchot pointedly said:
Il have been asked many ques-
tons since my arrival here. Neces-
sarily | am debarred from saying
anything and to all of them l
have replied, / have nothing to
say But | think | might be per-
mitted to say hat in selecting the
name of your club you have made
no mistake"
This a the nearest approach which
Mr.. Pinchot has made to any reference
to the possible future of the former
president and was received with a
yell of applause.
The banquet followed a busy day in
st. Paul, the two distinguished visitors
having arrived in the morning at st.
Paul, where they were taken at once
to the Minnesota club. Later the par
ty wen to the capitol and made an
automobile trip to Minneapolis.
A l o'clock luncheon at the Mime
sofa club, where Governor Eberhart
and President Louis w. Hill of the
Great Northern railroad were guests,
was another feature of the day.
