1 THE 3IORXIXG OKEGOXIAX, FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1910. - 6: GERMAN ROYALTY HEARS ROOSEVELT Lecture on World Movement Makes Profound Impres sion in Berlin. CHARACTER THING NEEDED l Complexity of Civilization, He Says, Increases Ayitli Its Growth, and Dangers Lurk Assemblage Hearing Him Is Notable. BERLIN', May 12. Before the Em eror of Germany and an assemblage of grave and wise men, ex-President Roosevelt today delivered his lecture oi "The World Movement," -and re ceived the honorary degree of doctor of philosophy. Especially significant was the pres ence of the Kaiser, for it is the first time he has graced a conference with his attendance, and the German court is in mourning for King Edward. The ceremony of conferring the degree was staged and conducted with Impres sive simplicity. There were no flags or emblems of royalty and the government, and the walls of the aula were bare save for the rows of busts of German's fa mous scholars and scientists. The only touch of color was furnished by the Senators of the University with their robes of scarlet and blue and the live heads of the student corps, who wore blue Jackets, white breeches, jack boots and parti-colored sashes. Koyalty Hears Lecture. Four hundred guests who held cards of admission were seated when Em peror William, accompanied .by Mr.. Roosevelt, entered from a side door. As they appeared the University choir chanted "Hell dir im Siegerkranz," (Hail to Thee in the Conqueror's Wreath). The two were followed by Empress Augusta Victoria, Princess Victoria Louise, Prince and Princess Eitel Frederick. Prince and Princess August Wilhelm, Prince Adelbert, Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Roosevelt and Kermit Roosevelt. This party took seats which had been reserved for them on the platform. Surrounding them were seated Am bassador Hill and Mrs. Hill, the other Ambassadors and their wives; Henry White, formerly American Ambassador to France, and Mrs. White, Seth Low and Mrs. Ixw, T. St. John Gafaney, American Consul-General at Dresden; Imperial Chancellor" Von Bethmann-, Hollweg; Foreign. Minister Von Schoen and the members of the Cabinet. On either side of this block of chairs were the seniors of the University. Cuiird of Honor Stands. Mr. Roosevelt occupied the seat at the reading dusk and at his side stood the heads of the student corps with drawn swords. This striking guard of honor remained standing and almost Immovable for the three hours of the lecture and ceremony. The auditorium was filled to its ca pacity of 1200 persons by the faculty of the University, students and guests. Rector Friedrlch Schmidt opened the programme by giving an outline of the life of Mr. Roosevelt from the time when he was a delicate child until the timo ho" became an African nimrod. When he had finished this sketch he introduced the former President, who was received most sympathetically. Mr. Roosevelt appeared rugged and in the pink of physical condition. His voice, husky at first, gained steadily in clearness as he proceeded and he was able to deliver his complete written thesis of 9000 words, to which he added extemporaneously from time to time by way of emphasis and explanation. "Today I am in Berlin University," begnn the speaker. "Yesterday 1 was in the open air university of the Ger man army and sat at the feet of the great master of that University." Mr. Roosevelt said the German Emperor had often been held up before him as a statesman who was doing things which he. the speaker, should do." "1 remember." he added, "that my friend. Dr. Pritchard, then president of tite Massachusetts Institute of Technology at Boston, told me of the Emperor's in terest in and knowledge of technical edu cation. While in Africa I used to think there was something wrong with the mail If it did not bring a letter from Benjamin Ido Wheeler telling me of his admiration for some feature of German life and of he Emperor's extraordinary qualities and kindness." Colonel Roosevelt spoke in part as fol lows: Xew Forces Are at Work. "The play of new forces is as evident in the moral and spiritual world as In the world of the mind and . the body. Forces for good and forces for evil are everywhere evident, each acting with a hundred or a thousand-fold the in tensity with which it acted in former ages. "In this movement there are signs of much that bodes ill. The machinery Is so highly geared, the tension and strain are so great, the effort and-the output have alike so increased, that there is cause to dread the ruin that would come from any great accident, from any breakdown, and also the ruin that may come from the mere wearing out; of the machine Itself. The only previous civilization, with which our modern civilization can be in any way compared, is that period of Graeco Rnman civilization extending. say, ii om me Ainens of Themistocles to the Rome or Marcus Aurelius. Many of the forces and tendencies which were then at work are at work now. Knowledge, luxury and refinement, wide material conquests, territorial administration on a vast scale, an Increase in the mastery of mechanical appliances and In ap plied scionce all these mark our civilization as they marked the won derful civilization that flourished In the Mediterranean lands 20 centuries ago; and they preceded the- downfall of the oldeT civilization. Yet the dif ferences are many, and some of them are quite- as striking as the similari ties. The. single fact that the old civilization was ' based upon slavery shows the chasm that separates the two. "Let me point out one further and very significant difference in the development of the two civilizations, a difference so obvious that it is aston ishing that it has not been dwelt upon by men of letters. Comfort Endangers Civilization. "One of the prime dangers of civiliza tion has always been its tendency to cause the .loss of" the virile fighting virtues of the fighting edge. When men get too comfortable and lead too luxurious lives there is always danger lest the softness eat like an acid Into their manliness of fiber. The bar. harlan, because of the very conditions of his life, is forced to keep and de velop certain hardy qualities which the man -of crviltia-tion tends- to lose, whether hebe "clerk, factory hand. merchant, or even a certain type of farmer. Now, I will not assert that in modern, civilized sAciety these ten dencies have been wholly overcome; but there has been -a much more successful effort to overcome them than was the case in the early civilizations. "What is the lesson to us today? Are we to go the way of the older civiliza tions? The immense increase in the area of civilized activity today, so that it is nearly coterminous with the world's sur face; the immense increase in the mul titudinous variety of its activities; the immense increase in the velocity of the world movement are all these to mean merely that the crash will be all the more complete and terrible when it comes? We cannot be certain that the answer will be in the negative; but of this we can be certain, that we shall not go down In ruin unless we deserve and earn our end. There Is no necessity for us to fall; we cai hew out our destiny for ourselves, if only we have the wit and the courage and the honesty. "Personally, I do not believe that our civilization will fall. I think that on the whole we have"" grown better and not worse. I think that on the whole the future holds more for us than even the great past has held. But, assuredly, the dreams of golden glory in the future will not come true unless, high of heart and strong of hand, by our own mighty deeds we make them come true. We can not afford to develop any one set of quail ties, any one set of activities, at the cost of seeing others, equally necessary, atrophied. Neither the. military efficiency of the Mongol, the extraordinary business ability of the Phoenician, nor the subtle and polished intellect of the Greek availed to avert destruction. . f Homely Virtues Are 'Needed. ture, need many qualities if we are to do our work well. We need, first of all and most important of all. the qualities which stand at the base of Individual, of family life, the fundamental-. and essential qualities the homely, every-day, all-important virtues. Moreover, the things of the spirit are even more important than the things of the body. We. can well do without the hard intol erance and arid intellectual barrenness of what was worst in the theological sys tems of the past, but there has never been greater need of a high and fine religious spirit than at the present time. "So, while we can laugh good-humor-edly at some of the pretensions of modern philosophy in its various branches, it would be worse than folly bn our part to ignore our need of Intellectual leader ship. Your own great Frederick once said that if he wished to punish a province he would leave it to be governed by philosophers; the sneer had in it an ele ment of Justice; and yet no one better than, the great Frederick knew the value of philosophers, the value of men of sci ence, men of letters, men of art. It would be a bad thing indeed to -accept Tolstoi as a guide in social and moral matters; but it would also be a bad thing not to have Tolstoi, not to profit by the lofty side of .his teachings. Never has philanthropy, humanitarianism. seen such development as now: and though we must all beware of the folly, and the vlclous ness no -worse than folly, which marks the believer in the perfectibility of man when his heart runs away wi-th his head, or when vanity usurps the place of con science, yet we. must remember also that It is only by working along the lines laid down by the philanthropists, by the lovers of mankind, that we can be sure of lifting our civilization to a higher and more permanent plane of well-being than was ever attained by any preceding civilization. Unjust war-is to b3 abhorred; but woe to the nation that does not make ready to ..hold. . its own in time of need against all who would harm it; and woe thrice over to the nation in which the average man loses the fighting edge, loses the power to serve as a soldier if the day of need should arise. Character Vital Possession. "It is no impossible dream to build up a civilization in which morality, ethical" development, and a true feel ing of brotherhood shall all alike be divorced from false sentimentality and from the rancorous and evil passions which, curiously enough, so often ac company professions of sentimental attachment to the rights of man; In which a high material development in the things of the body shall be achieved without subordination of the things of the soul; in which there shall be a genuine desire for peace and jus tice without loss of those virile quali ties without which no love of peace or justice shall avail any race; in which the fullest development of scien tific research, the great distin guishing feature of our present civil ization, shall yet not Imply a belief that intellect can ever take the place of character for, from the standpoint of the nation as of the individual, it is character that is the one vital' pos session. "Finally, this world movement of civilization, this movement which is now felt throbbing in every corner of the globe, should bind the nations of the world together while yet leaving unimpaired that love of country in the individual citizen which in the present stage of the world's progress is essential to the world's well-being. You, my hearers, and I -vho speak to you, belong to differe- t nations. Un der modern conditions the books we read, the news sent by telegraph to our newspapers, the strangers we meet, half of the things we hear and do each day, all tend to bring us into touch with other peoples. Each peo ple can do justice to itself only if it does justice to others: but each peo ple can do its part in the world move ment for all only if it first does its duty within Its own household. The good citizen must be a good citizen of his own country first before he can with advantage be a ctiizen of the world at large."

At 11 o'clock yesterday Dre. iegler and Tucker found it necessary to perform an operation, as the patient was suffering from a hemorrhage of the brain. He rallied somewhat from the operation, but in the afternoon grew decidedly worse and every effort to revive him proved futile. H was unable to make any statement rafter being removed to the hospital. Porter Held Without Bonds. Dr. iegler notified the authorities survive, and Porter, who had been re leased on $250 bail, was rearrested on a bench warrant and held without bonds. At the time of his death the left side of Countryman's head was swollen to twice its normal size, his left eye being blackened and completely closed, while his Hps were swollen and bruised. The attending physicians say that the injury could not possibly have been made by blows from the fist, and, from the nature of the Injury, they believe the victim we struck with some heavy, smooth sub stance. Porter on the night of the fight said that he struck Countryman with his fist and admitted kicking at him while he was on he ground, but now denies that he even struck his victim, and says Country man must have been injured by striking his head on the pavement. That Countryman w&s drunk at the time of the affair is absolutely denied by IDr. S. J. Carney, by whom he has been employed the past four years. The dead man, he says, vas sober and industrious and was never known to be quarrelsome. Countryman was 44 years old and a na tive of Michigan. A brother, who resides at Mulino, Or., arrived last night and took charge of the body. The only other known living relative is a sister, who re sides near Salem, Or. The dead man was a member of the Olympic lodge of the Woodmen of the World. Porter has a daughter living at Oak land, Cal.,'who Is the wife of John Smith, a prominent attorney of that place.
