Roosevelt and the Czar

William Roscoe Thayer. in The North American Review"
 On November q. 19o0... John Hay wrote to Henry Adams: At least we are spared the infamy of an alliance with Germany. I would rather. I think be the dupe of China than the chum of the Kaiser Have you noticed how the world will take anything nowa- days from a German? Bulow said yes terday in substance:
 "we have demanded of China ev- erything we can think of If we thini. of anything else we will demand that. and be d-d to you--and not man in the world kicks"
 By an adriot move similar to that by which Hay had secured the unwill- ing adherence of the powers to his original proposal of t6e open door, he, with Roosevelts sanction, preyHnted out a plan to cut up China. and divide the slices among the Europeans.
 Equally adroit was Roosevelt's meth cd of dealing with the Czar in 1903. Russian mobs ran amuck, and massa- cred many Jews in the city of Kishi- neff The news of this atrocity reached the outside world slowly; when 1t came the Jews of western Europe and especially those of the United States. cried out Tn horror, neld meetlngS, ureW up protests, and framed petitions. ask ing the Czar to punish the criminals.
 Leading American Jews besought Roosevelt to plead their cause before the Czar. As 1t was well known that the Czar would refuse to receive such petitions. and would regard himself as insulted by whatever nation should lay them before him by official diplo- matic means. the world wondered what Roosevelt would do. He took one ot his short cuts, and chose a way which everybody saw was most obvious and most simple as soon as he had chosen it. He sent the petitions to, our ann bassador at Petrograd. accompanying them with a letter which recited the atrocities and grievances In this let ter which was handed to ,tfH Russian secretary of state. our government asked whether his majesty. the, Czar. would condescend to receive the peti- tions. Of course the reply was no. but the letter was published in all countries, so that the Czar also knew of the petitions. and of the horrors which called them out. In this fashion the former ranchnnan and rough rider outwitted. by what I may call his straightforward guile, the crafty dip- lomats of the Romanoffs-

With not little feeling-and I can remember now how long saber gash on his cheek went red as hetspoke-he turned on me and said:

Cerman Workmen Favored War

"One thing that defeat has failed to do in Germany is to impair or alter the German creed that provoked the conflict" says Cameron Mackenzie in Everybody's. In supsort> of his con tention he reports the views of several classes of citizens. The following is particularly significant because 1t Is representative of the seemingly demo- cratic governmental class that suc- ceeded the junkers immediately after the armistice.
