4 LATE KING'S TACT PRAISED BY T. R. Former President Sa& Edward Possessed the Finer Sense of Things COLONEL SHOCKED BY DEATH Declares Sovereign Was Influence Tending Strongly for World Peace ————- ,5 [Associated Press] STOCKHOLM, May 7. — Former President Roosevelt, who arrived here today, was! greatly shocked when he learned of King Edward's death. What effect this will have on his London; plans he c-anot at present say, but it is his intention to go to Berlin and complete his Itinerary as announced. Colonel Roosevelt today lent a mps sngo to Ambassador Hill Inquiring if King Edward's il< ath would necessi tate a change In' the emperor'a plans and asking thai lie be advißed should the emperor gt) to London. In that event the former president nould undoubtedly be either the guest of the American ambassador or pro ceed to a hotel. Ite has a fixed en gagement to lecture at Berlin univer sity on May 12. Koosevelt gave an illustration ol what he termed the finer sense of things the king possessed. "Next to the rine: John Hay cave me." lie said, "I value the miniature Kins Edward sent me after T became president, of John Hampden. That was a present :i sovereign could make with dipnity and one a democratic president could accept. All the historian? royalists agree that Hampden was a good man. The !<iii^ must have known that Hampden was one of my four he roes—Timoleon. Hampden, Washington and Lincoln. Such a. selection as the miniature showed extreme tact. "I liave a personal feeling about the king's death. I know from having been president that he had an i a desire to keep the relations bet Great Britain and the United Slates on the closest and most friendly terms. King Edward's death removes one In fluence that tended strongly for peace and justice in international relations-. His own people and other lands must feel that loss." Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt spent a comparatively quiet day In the com pany of the crown prince and princess, mid in the evening \\<vf tin- guests o;" honor at a dinner given by the citizens. In a laudatory speech at this dinner Premier Undman said: "We are slad to welcome the foremost citizen of the great republic to which Sweden lias .sent so many loyal citi zens." Colonpl Roosevelt in response torched upon the question of the hour in S\v«' den, the propaganda which has been spread by a certain faction of love without children. The former president djd not r.ame the leader in this propaganda, but strongly denouced race suicide as one of the most unworthy things of all time. It happens that the Swedish population, next to France and Spain, lias Increased more slowly than any other, iiiirl this statement was ap iilaudrd enthusiastically, Tie was cow gratulated by the premier and others on his bold nml unequivocal declara tions. CUBE IN SOVEREIGNS MAKES FRENCH ANXIOUS Extraordinary Mission to Attend Funeral—Papers Use Black Borders PARIS, May 7.—Nowhere In Europe lias the passing of King Edward cre ated deeper emotion than In France, •where he was gratefully acknowledged as the principal artisan In the present diplomatic combination for tin/ preser vation of the peace of Europe, Premier Brland and others of the cabinet called on British ambassador Bertie early to express their condo lences, and as soon as Foreign Minis ter Plchon, who Is absent from the city, reaches Paris an extraordinary mission will be appointed to attend the funeral. Most of the French papers appear with black borders today and their editor sound a common note of grief, which may be summed up in the words of the Matin, which pays: "England has lost a great Kins-, the world a great figure and France a great friend." The diplomatic consequences of a change of rulers are not dwelt on prominently, but there Is no doubt that there is a popular feeling of anxiety. While the present basis of peace is regarded as solid, it is realized that Edward's personal Influence, so powerfully exercised in all the recent crises in the cause of peace, will hard ly be transmitted to hi- successor, and the dieappi aran of the monarch is likely, therefore, to singularly modify the position of i (real Britain on the European chess board. BRYAN PAYS TRIBUTE KANSAS CITY, May 7.— "The death of King Edward marks the end of a mighty power and influence for world's peace," said W. J. Bryan here today. "His successor, no doubt, will make a good ruler, and I run Fuire the king's Influence will be continued in the next generation." VETERAN DIPLOMAT, 93.

This concluded, the business of the | i ouncil, and his majesty retire,!. The kin},' left St. James palace on ; his return to Marlborough house at S o'clock, having been absent for the ceremony .iust one hour. The marked lack of display In the conduct of the new monarch was striking. A singlf carriage occupied bj the sovereign and attended by two royal equerries was i driven to and from St. James place. There was no military escort, and the only decrat ion which the monarch wore was the Order of the Garter. In 1 fact, the lord mayor and the city alder men furnished the most spectacular ; element of the ceremony. While his father was signing the proclamation the young prince of Wales stood on a temporary scaffolding behind the wall nt Marlborough house and eagerly i hed sudi of the proceedings as came Into his view. Owing to the late hour at which the formalities were completed by the privy council and the Impossibility of distributing the proclamation to the various centers In time i" permit simul taneous proclaiming , eremonies, the proclamation of Kins George's b sion by heralds and pursuivants was itponed until Monday.
