HOW ROOSEVELT BROOGHT PEACE IN 1905, TOLD Magazine Articles Describe Dead American as Peacemaker, Dealer With Kings. (By Associated Press) -. N y YORK Aue- 25. Joseph Buckiin Bishop, for 30 years a personal friend of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. ...u why, live years before the former President's death, was commissioned by him "to write the history of the reriod which covered his public career," presents In the September Issue of Scribner's Magazine, the first of a series of papers which gives tor the first time many Interesting sidelights on the life of the famous American, f The paper, entitled "RooseveltPeacemaker," selected and arranged from the former President's public and private correspondence, amounting to more than 160,000 letters, deals with Mr. Roosevelt's efforts to end the war between Russia and Japan and which lesulted In the Portsmouth Peace Conference of 1905. For the first time, apparently, is revealed the fact that Japan made the initial overtures for peace. Four days aJter the great Japanese naval victory over RojeBtvensky's fleet in the sea of Japan on May 27, 1905, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Japan, the lettei 3 show, cabled Minister Takahlra, in Washington, to Invoke Roosevelt's aid as a mediator. "Naivete," by Japanese. "I was amused," wrote the President, "by the way in which they asked me to invite the two belligerents together directly on my own motion and initiative. It reminded me of the request for contributions sent by campaign committees to office holderj wherein they were asked to make a voluntary contribution of ten per cent of their salary. It showed a certaiu naivete on the part of the Japanese." According to his biographer, every step in the negotiations extending over a period of three months, was taken ly Mr. Roosevelt without the aid of any of his most trusted counsellors, Jonn Hay. his Secretary of State, being critically ill. Secretary Root having resigned from the cabinet many months i;trl?er and Secretary Taft being absent in the Philippines. "One reads the thick volumes of his correspondence with amazement bordering on incredulity," writes Mr. Bisnop. "It is incredible that one man could do fo much and so well. In no other task of his life was the abnormal energy, mental and physical, of Theodore Roosevelt put to a severer test and from none did he emerge more triumphantly. His activity was .is tireless as his resourcefulness was inexhaustible." Brought Influence to Bear. The President's activity was directed he sold, to "not only steadily and irresistibly forcing the two warring" nations into a conference, but bringing olher nations like England, France and Germany to the support of his efforts. If Russia balked and showed Blgns of refusal, he persuaded the Kaiser to bring pressure upon the Czar, in the inierst of peace. If Japan showed fcimilar signs, England was appealed

to, bring pressure upon her. In the end Germany alone really helped, and Roosevelt gave unstinted praise to the Kaiser ever afterward for what he did then." -In all of this correspondence the Coh.nel vrote 'without ref train t or reservation." In a confidential letter to Secretary Hay he referred to the K.urer. as a monomaniac and "a jumpy creature v ho has had another fit." In another missive he thus characterizes the former Emperor of Russia: "The Czar is a preposterous little creature as he absolute autocrat of 150,000,000 ironle.' Every cay, and, often several times h dy, he urged the Emperors of Russia and Japan to agree upon terms of oeace. Once he wrote a friend: 'The more I see of the Czar, the Kaiser and the Mikado, the better I am c.'i.tmi with democracy, even if we have to Include the American newspapers as one of its assets liability would be a better term." Refused All Credit. V.'Ii'le the conference was in session, the President had occasional doubts of ultimate success. "I have led the horses to water," he wrote, "but heaven only knows whether they v.ill drink oi tlart kicking one another b tidu 'he trough." When victory crowned his efforts, however, continued Mr. Bishop, he was not elated by it. King Edward of England aid of him to the American Ambti'EEdor in London: "I am simply lost !a admiration for the President; nobody eltse could have done it," Mr. Roosevelt's own verdict was: "I am overpraised. I am credited with be'ng extremely long-headed. As n ro-ttcr of fact I took the position I finally did not of my own volition but neca-ite events so shaped themselves that I would have felt as if I wa? flinching from a plain duty If I had acted otherwise."

Americans are Courteous, Charming, Says Englishman (By Associated Press) LONDON, July 25 (By mall), "The typical American is no more boisterous multi-millionaire with coarse manners and only money ideals than the typical Englishman is the glacial, monacled, Mgh Bociety specimen who calls everything "rippln' and ultimately marries a chorus girl." This was the comment of H. T. Braddon, recently Trade Commissioner for Australia at Washington, at a luncheon given him in London by Australian and other officials. "Their home life in the States is charming," said Mr. Braddon, "and their conversation is directed to subjects of interest to the stranger in the most courteously considerate way. They have no special admiration for wealth as such, but only for wealth as wisely and generously used."

TGa 1? ftflne

A MAN who owns a motor car be it a big, luxurious limousine or only a little flivver, has at command the means of satisfying one of his most primitive instincts, a desire to fare forth like a true adventurer and enjoy the freedom of the open country. Accompanied by his family or his friends, he, like the Argonauts, , can start a little journey into

untamihar places. -

He need have no fear- of consequences, for the modern automobile is a sturdy, dependable friend All it asks is gasoline, a little lubricating oil, and water. With this it goes up hill and down, without fret or worry, The wayside brook, or the well on a friendly farm supplies the water, while gasoline and oil may be had anywhere from the Service Stations of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). TJie splendid system of distribution organized and maintained by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) covers every city, town, and hamlet, and in many cases there is a tank and pump beside the little store at the fork of the roads. This complete distribution of its products is one of the chief services rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to the motorists of America, yet it represents but one of the many benefits derived by the public at large from the operation of the StandardOil Company(Indiana) as a public servant.
