Suggests Roosevelt as Mediator

Should, however, the ideas pro-
pounded in this letter coincide with
yours and you think that 1 could be
of any even smallest use to you for
the preparatory steps to bring about
peace, pray dispose of me at your
leisure. I may perhaps turn your
attention to the fact that no doubt
the Japanese have the highest re-
gard for America before all other
nations. Because this mighty, rls-
ing power with it's tremendous fleet
is next to them. If anybody in the
world is able to influence the Japa-
nese and to induce them to be rea-
sonable, in their proposals, it is
President Roosevelt. Should it meet
with your approval 7 could easily
place myself-privately (underlin-
eden airport Gin communication
with him, as we are very intimate;
also nv ambassador there is a
friend of his. Besides you have Mr..
Meyer whom 7 know since years,
who has my fullest confidence, you
may send for him, talk with him
openly, he is most discreet and trust
worthy, charming causeur with
agreeable manners.
Hero the brides entry took place
in splendid weather and amidst
great enthusiasm. Best love to Alix
from your affectionate friend and
cousin. WILLY"
After Secret Treaty Was Signed
"Pilau, July q, 1905.-Dearest
Nicky: On reaching the shores of
my home I take the earliest oppor-
tunity of sending you a line to once
more thank you for the way in
which you received me and the kind
ness shown to mo by you. The hours
was allowed to spend in your So
ciety will be ever craven in my
memory, you were like dear broth
er to me. I shall always respond
to your feelings with the same
warmth and with the same intensi-
ty as you and you can count on me
as on a firm friend, who is filled
with the sole wish anG hope to sec
you successful in your heavy work,
and your country soon recover from
the severe test 1t has undergone
through the will of Providence. The
alliance for mutual support in case
of need, which we concluded will be
of great use to Russia, as it will re-
store quiet in the minds Of the peo-
pie and confidence in the mainten-
ance of peace in Europe, and encour-
age financial circles in foreign coun-
tries to place funds in enterprises
to open up Russia, and it's vast
stores of wealth yet untouched. In
times to come Gt) may not be i'm
possible that even Japan may feel
inclined to join 1t. This would cool
down English selfassertion and i'm
pertiIence, as she is hers ally, too.
"The 24th of July, 1905, is a cor
nerstone in European politics and
turns over a new leaf in the history
of the world; which will be a chapter
of peace and good will among the
great powers of the European con-
tlnent, respecting each other in
friendship, confidence, and in pursu-
ing the general policy on the lines
of a community OF interests. The
moment the laws of the new 'groupe-
ment' will have become known in
the world, the smaller nations, Hol-
land, Belgium. Denmark, Sweden,
Norwa1 will all be attracted to this
new great center of gravity, by quite
natural laws of the attraction Of
smaller bodies by the larger and COM
pacter ones. They will revolve in
the orbit of the great block of pow
ers PRUSSIA, Germany, France, Aus
tria, Italy and feel confidence in
leaning OH and revolving around this
mass. The dual alliance combining
with the triple alliance gives a quin-
tUple alliance, well, able to hold all
unruly neighbors in order, and to i'm
pose peace even by force, if there
should be power hair-brained
enough with to disturb it.
Don't forget German Shipbuilders'
I'm the conversation with that ex-
cellent man Birilew-capita1 choice
you made-I mentioned that when
once your types of ships are decided
upon, you ought to build them as
many as possible at once, and not
forget the German private firms, be-
sides the French. Because they
would work as for their own coun-
try, whereas other powers Would
make use of the secrets of your
builders and engineers against your
self and country. Between Bjoerkoe
