HOW ROOSEVELT
STOPPED A WAR
JSv," v
Correspondence Reveals How Russia
and Japan Were Brought Together.
^ \T V T- A Oi
K new xorK, Aug. ?uu?. uutv
K lin Bishop, for thirty years a personal
Hp friend of Col. Theodore Roosevelt,
and who, five years before the former
president's death, was commissioned
by him 'to write the history of
m the period which covered his public
career," presents in the September
issue of Scribner's Magazine the first
of a series of papers, which gives for
V the first time many interesting side
t ^ lights on the life of the famous
r American.
The paper, entitled "Roosevelt?
||1Peacemaker," selected and arranged
from the former president's public
|. v and private correspondence, amountI
^ing to more than 150,000 letters,
deals with Mr. Roosevelt's efforts to
end the war between Russia and Ja'V
^ pan, and which resulted in the Ports
mouth peace conference of 1915.
Mavs.
p ' 'For the first time, apparently, is
I revealed the fact that Japan made
[ . the initial overtures for peace. Four
fV days after the great Japanese naval
| ^ victory over Rojestvensky's fleet in
tM^&e sea of Japan, on May 27, 1905,
^Art&e minister of foreign affairs of
the lettera ??*>. Min
Takahira, in wasmngton, xo invoke
Roosevelt's aid as a mediator.
"I was amused," wrote the presiI
dent, "by the way in which they asked
me to invite the two belligerents |
together directly on my own motion i
aad initiative. It reminded me of;
the request for contributions sent by
:ij campaign committees to office-hold- *
j* '' *ern wherein thev were asked to make
j V? 7"? ~?w
y a Voluntary contribution of 10 per.
cent' of their salary. It showed a 1
certain naivete on the part of the'
Japanese."
According to his biographer, every
L 'step in the negotiations, extending
* over a period , of three months, was1
f taken ify Mr. Roosevelt, without the J
aid of any df las most trusted coun-;
selors, John Hay, his Secretary ox j
State, being critically ill; Secretary <
Boot having resigned from the cab- j
met many months earlier and'Secretary
Taft being absent in the Philippines.
Aa^axing Correspondence.
"One reads the thick volumes of
his correspondence with amazement
bordering on incredulity," writes
WJ Mir. Bishop. "It is incredible that
W one man ?0?ld do so much- and so
W- . veil. In no other task of his life was
r the abnormal energy, mental and
physical, of Theodore Roosevelt ever
pot to a severer test and from none
m he emerge more, triumphantly.
His activity was as tireless as his re<?
sourcefulness was inexhaustible." v j
The president's activity was diyected,
he said, to "not only steadily
and irresistibly forcing tjie two war
W ring nations into a conference * * *
H bat bringing other nations like Eng?
land, France and Germany to the
L support of his efforts. If, Russia
K (talked and showed signs of refusal,
f he persuaded the kaiser to bring
r pressure upon the Czar in the interest
of peace. If Japan showed similar
signs, England was appealed to,
to bring pressure upon her. In the ;

te' and Roosevelt gave unstinted praise j
ito the kaiser ever afterward for |
what he did then."
In all of the correspondence the ;
Colonel wrote "without restraint,or <
^reservation." In a confidential let- i

k
[ ter to Secretary Hay he referred to
'he kaiser as a monomaniac and "a
jumpy creature who has had another
fit." In another missive he thus
haracterizes the former Emperor of
Russia: The Czar is a preposterous
little creature as tne aosoiute autocrat
of 150,000,000 people."
?
Not Flattering to Autocrats.
Every day, and often several times
a day, hie urged the Emperors of
Russia and Japan to agree upon
terms of peace. Once he wiote a
friend: "The more I see .of the Czar,
the kaiser and the Mikado, the better
I am content with democracy, even
if we have to include the American
newspapers as one of its assets?
liabilifcv would be a better term."
While 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 will drink or start kicking one
another beside the, trough."
When victory crowned his efforts,
[however, continued Mr. Bishop, he
was not elated by it. King Edward
of England said of him to the American
ambassador in London: "I am
simply lost in admiration for the
president; nobody else could have
done it." Mr. Roosevelt's own verdict
was: "I am overpraised. I am
credited with being extremely long
headed. As a matter of fact I took
the position that I finally did, not of
my own volition, but j>ecause events
so shaped themselves that I would
have felt as if I was flinching from
a plain duty if I had acted otherwise."

SHORTAGE OF FREIGHT
CARS IS PROSPECT
The following statement was authorized
today by the regional director's
office, Southern region, United
States Railway administration:
. "Another shortage of freight cars
is in prospect for the coming fall
and winter. Instead of the surplus
^ * _
of equipment to be touna on neariy
all railroads during the dull days before
the after-the-war business revival
set in, every piece of equipment
now is in. use on many lines
and only the most careful handling
by the railroads with consistent* and
whole-hearted cooperation from the
shipping public can prevent serious
interference wi*h business.
"Federal managers have been called
upon by the railroad administra*
Artiimnn
VIUU IU UbliliiU ^Ui|/AUVAAV vv vuv
est possible extent, and particularly
to see that cars are set in motion
promptly upon being loaded or unloaded.
.
"Shippers are asked to lend a hand
both by reducing detention of cars
to a minimum and by careful and
heavy loading so that the greatest
possible service may be had from
each car. From a" purely selfish
business standpoint, of course, it is
to the interest of the individual shipper
and receiver of freight to do his
part toward minimizing the effects
of a car shortage from which he will
suffer along with the public generally-"
