Wdo AOl oCl dp III XANlNihiSy aNAAAAAA@S tration, but Roosevelt accepted it in the interest of diplomacy and had It erected in front of the Army building.
 Seeing that his gift had had just the opposite effect to that intended. the kaiser reprimanded his ambassador for not having interpreted American sentiment more accurately.
 A few days after the death of King Edward, Roosevelt arrived in Berlin Despite the fact that all Europe was in mourning, the kaiser arranged the most elaborate military dress review ever given in honor of private citizen to celebrate Roosevelt's visit. The re view was held in the large military reservation near Berlin. More than 100000 soldiers passed in review be- fore the kaiser and his staff and their honored guest.
 How far the kaiser would have gone in his attentions to Roosevelt had he not been in mourning it is impossible to say, but I don't believe he would have left anything undone to show his admiration for the American ex-pres- ident and to curry favor with this country.
 But Roosevelt was not the only American to whom the kaiser made overtures. He was constantly inviting American millionaires to pay him yachting visits at Kiel or wherever else he happened to be.
 He sat for portrait by an Ameri- can painter, which was exhibited with a large collection of other American works under the kaiser's auspices.
 There was nothing that the kaiser did not do in his efforts to ingratiate himself with this country in the hope that he would reap his reward when the great war he was anticipating eventually broke out.
 Taken individually, these various in- cidents seem trivial enough, but l have every reason to know that the kaiser attached considerable impor- tance to them. know that there was good deal of chagrin in the tirades he delivered to me against America for her part in supplying munitions to the allies-chagrin at the thought that the seed he had sown in America had failed to bring forth better fruit. When we finally entered the war and he realized that all his~carefully nur- naught, he could not restrain his bit terness nor conceal his disappoint. ment.
 'All my efforts to show my friend ship for America-exchanging profess sors with your colleges, sending my brother in your country, all--all for nothingp he exclaimed, disgustedly, after we had entered the war.
 On another occasion he showed even more clearly how far America had fnl- :9en short of hiseypectakssoT1s v
 "Whas has become of those rich Amercans who used to visit me with thar yachts at Kiel and come to my Entertainments in Berlin?" he asked, sarcastically. Now that we have England involved, why aren't they utilizing the opportunity to serve and to make their own country great? Do lIlCy lliiIih put lily SCll Out tO cuIcI- tain them because l loved them? l am disgusted with the whole Anglo Saxon race !"
 The kaiser couldn't understand why the United States did not seize both Canada and Mexico. Apparently, from the way he talked from time to time, if he had been sitting in the White House he would have grabbed the en- tire Western Hemisphere.
 That the kaiser followed American politics very closely. especially after the war broke out, was very natural The fact that there was a great Ger man-American vote in this country was not overlooked in POtsdam, and haven't the slightest doubt the kaiser imagined that he could exert consider able influence in our elections through his emissaries iu this country.
 I returned to Berlin late in October of that year. Within a day or two after my arrival received a telephone message from the Reichskanzler von Bethmann-Hollweg to the effect that the kaiser had sent him word of my return and that he would like me to call at his palace either that noon or at four D. m.
 was ushered into very large room in the corner of which was q business like looking flat-tonped desk, but which was otherwise deliberately furnished. The reichskanzler, tall, broad-shoul- dered, handsome specimen of man. came over to me and, putting his arm in mine, walked me to seat beside the desk. He asked me what I would smoke and upon my takinp cigar.
