Hear Cabot:
At Russia's request 1 asked Japan
for an armistice, but I did not expert
that Japan would grant It, although
I of course put the request as strong
*V as possible. Indeed I cannot say
that 1 really blame Ja|>an for not
eiantlng It, for she is naturally nfratd
that magnanimity on her part would
lie misinterpreted and turned to bad
account against her. The Japanese
envoys have sailed and the Russians
1 am informed will be here by August
first. I think then they can get an
armistice.
Taft is a great big fellow. He
urged me to bring Root Into the cabi
net. Of course the papers with their
usual hysteria have for the moment
completely dropped Tuft, whom they
were all booming violently up to three
weeks ago, and are now occupied
with their new toy. Root. They are
sure that he has come into the cabi
net for the purpose of making him
self president, and the more pic
turesque among them take the view
that he stipulated this before he ac
cepted and that I in effect pledged
him the presidency—omitting the
trifling detail that even If 1 had been
Idiot enough to feel that way, he
would not have been Idiot enough to
think that I had any jiower In the
matter. As a matter of fact, I am
inclined to think that Taft's being
from the west, together with his atti
tude on corporations, would for the
moment make him the more available
man. Of course, no one can tell what
will be the outcome three years hence.
Ever yours,

Personal,
i lea r Cabot;
You and I felt exactly the same way
shout Root, and to my delight I found
that Root was glad to come back as
secretary of state. If the opportu
nity arises, I believe he will be the
gieaiest secretary we have ever had,
or at any rate as great a secretary
as we have ever had. Of course, he
has not the peculiar literary distinc
tion which gave to John Hay’s dis
patches their charm; but he Is a very
great man, and what is more Impor
tant I believe lie will get on wp|I with
tlie senate. It is eminently desirable
that the State department shall be
in such close touch with the leader-*
and the senate committee on foreign
- ffa lr« that they shall he able to agree
l*®*1n substance In advance upon What
shall lie done in treaties, and we shall
he spared—and that without regard
to which side is at fault—the irrita
tion and Indeed the humiliation of
starting to negotiate treaties, of com
mitting ourselves to them In the eyes
of foreign people, and then of falling
to put them through; and what Is
even more Important, prevent treat
ies which are Important from the
standpoint of national policy from
getting into such shape that the one
country or the ether refuses to ratify
them. I do not want to start any
thing the senate won't approve.
Ever yours.

Dear Theodore;
Since you wrote, the agreement In
have negotations must have been
concluded. When they do meet I have
grave doubts whether anything will
come of it owing., not to the exce
sivo demands of the Japs, but to the
hopeless, sodden stupidity of the Rus
sians, who either will not or cannot
look facts in the face but think that
'hey can win by lying without limit
lo themselves as well as others, a
scheme which never has and never
w ill succeed either for men or nations.
Russia is held by a set of desperate
adventurers who care nothing for
the country but only for their own
place and power. Therefore you can
hs^^bot reason about them as about most
'"^liiopl* charged with the government
of nations. They are autocrats with

out inteliegence, th* sole thing which,
r*n excuse the exist cnee of autocra-j
C>* for a moment. Hut whether this'
negotiation fail* nr not you have
achieved an Immense success In
bringing It about.
It ia •» great glory to you to have
played such a part and heme to the
country. I am very proud of you.
Vou have managed it all. as it seem*
to me. with great skill.
I am more pleased than I can say i
by all you have done in this compli
cated and most tortuous business and
do not see how you could have im
proved on it. The request of Japan
will remain with me a dead secret
and ought to remain so altogether.
The attitude of the Pacific slope to
ward the Japanese seems Incompre
hensible at this time from every
point of view'. We must treat the
Chinese more civilly, too. I am heart
ily in favor of barring qpolie labor
whether Chinese or Japanese, but it
must he done discreetly and reason
ably—in fact there is no other way
in which it can be done.
My very best love to Edith, Nan
nie's too, to you as well.

Dear Theodore:
I had hardly finished reading your
profoundly interesting letter of June
lb when tlie news came of John
Hay’s sudden death. To us both per
sonally it is a great loss. lie was
ever a devoted and loyal friend and
adviser to you. It will he haiM to
fill his place—in the eyes of the world
Impossible at this moment, for he
held a great position in the opinion
of Europe. My best love to Edith.
Nannie's love to you both.
Ever y rs..
II. C. LODGE.
Paris, July 8th, 1905.
Dear Theodore:
I cannot resist sending you an ar
ticle from Le Matin and calling your
attention to the last paragraph. Vou
will see from that the confidence
they have that when Root runs wild
there is a strong hand to hold him
in check. Over here they know
where the real conservative force of
the administration is! I think this
should he brought to Root's atten
tion. It may help to make him care
ful.
I cannot tell you how T rejoice over
his acceptance (as secretary of state).
It was what. 1 wanted above every
thing ani I hardly dared to hope for
it. He is of course the one man for
the place. } rejoice for you. Per
sonally it is to me one of the great
est of pleasure*. ‘ You know how fond
I am of Root. He is one of the few
men now' extant for whom I care
most—whose affection and friendship
mean much to me and in whom and
whose capacity for great service to
the republic I have tlie deepest con
fidence.
You know how I have always be
1ie\'ed that France was our natural
ally and belonged in our system and
not with England. The kaiser has
done more in a month to drive her to
ward us than 20 years of effort. For
this reason I want to cultivate and
cement the relation and they will
value words of appreciation from you*
enormously from you personally as
well as officially.
Rest love to Edith.
