HOW ROOSEVELT AS
 ] PRESIDENT SWhYED ! EVEN THE KAISER
Former President is Shown in the Role of a Letter.
 Writer

New York, April 3.-Colonel Roosevelt is shown in the role of a ldlplomatic letter writer to European royalties, bending even former Elm lperor William of Germany, to his will, in freshly disclosed correspon- dence edited by Joseph Bucklin Bis ! hop, the late presidents biograph- CT, which will appear in the April ] issue of Scribner's magazine.
 The correspondence includes let ters to and replies from King Ed ] ward, Emperor Nicholas of Russia, 1 the Emperor of Japan, Albert, King of the Belgians and Queen Elizabeth of Rumania, in addition to the ! lengthy epistles that passed between 1 between the colonel and the head of l the Hohenzollerns. Writing on Aug ust IA, 1906 to Henrly White, who was then American amba ssador at Rome, Colonel Roosevelt said:
 My course with him Emperor William) during the last five years has been uniform. l admire him, respect him and like him. l think him a big man, and on the whole good man; but I think his inter national and indeed his personal at titude one of intense egoism. l have always been most polite with him, have done my best to avoid our taking any attitude which could possibly give him legitimate offense, and have endeavored to show him that l was sincerely friendly to him and to Germany. Moreover, where have forced him to give way l have been sedulously anxious to build bridge of gold for him, and to give him the satisfaction of feel ing that his dignity and reputation in the face of the world is safe.
 ''1n other words, where l have had to take part of the kernel from him, I have been anxious that he should have all the shell possible, and have that shell painted any way he wish cd. At the same time I have had to speak with express emphasis to on one occasion ((that of Venezue- force and to convince him definitely that I would use the force if neces- sary."
 MT. Bishop declares that in spite of the Venezuela incident of Decem- Der 1902, which must have been "a humiliating check" for the former Emperor cherished no resentment subsequently wrote Roosevelt the most friendly letters. He also sent the Colonel number of photographs showing himself and Roosevelt as tride magnificent horses at man. oeuvre of the Garman army. On the autographed pictures he had writ ten: "The Colonel of the Rough Riders featuring the chief of the Germany army" "Total agreement about the general maxms of life and and policy between America and Germany" "On the Muhlenberg; 2 grave discussion; Carnegie look out!" and "The Chief of the German Army thanking the Colonel of the Rough Riders for the honor in in- specting his troops" Mr. Carnegie by the way, once had credited a ru- nor that Germany was building a strong fleet to attack the United Statec.
 A letter the colonel wrote to Edward VII of England on April 25, 1906, contains a reference to the AL geciras Conference of that year, an international barley which at the time was said to have averted a gen eral European war. The biographer states that "the secret history of this conference, which stands revealed in Roosevelts correspondent and of which is too long for publica- tion in the magazine, shows con clusively that it was arranged by Roosevelt at the insistent request of the Kaiser that Roosevelt drew up the terms of settlement which were adopted, and that he fairly compell- ed the Kaiser to give him unwilling consent to them."
 Rooscvelt's impationce with the ceremonies and etiquette of courts found vigorous expression, MT. Bish- op says, when he exclaimed, after describing his experiences with po- tentates of various kingdoms at the funeral of King Edward, at which he represented the United States: T felt if l met another king l should bite him!" Amused and irritated by the fussy anxiety displayed by the ruler of petty kingdom about his prerogatives and the precedence to which he was entitled, Roosevelt at another time said, drawing upon his bird lore for smile: "He is noth- ing but a twittering wagtail.'
 Writing again about King Edward of England, for whom he profcsscd a high regard, he said in 1908: ''i feel very strongly that the real in tcrcsts of the English speaking pco- pie are one, alike in the Atlantic and the Pacific; and that, while scru- pulously careful neither to insult nor to injure others we should yet make it evident that we are ready and able to hold our own"
