A MAD EMPEROR
The English Think the Kaiser Has
Gone Clean Daft

London. Dec. 2O.-Poor Prince Henry
of Prussia should not be ridicuIed too
severely. They were not his speeches
that he delivered at kiel. but were the
product of Emperor Williams erratic
brain.
As Prince Henry had hitherto been
regarded as a young man of average
sanity his outrageous speeches on the
occasion of his departure for China ex-
cited the utmost astOnishment 1t was
assumed that he was beginning to man
ifest. only in a more aggravated form,
his brothers mania, but the mystery is
now explained by Berlin correspond
ents
The Kaiser. fearing that Prince Henry
would not do justice to the situation in
requisite strain of hyperbole wrote the
speeches beforehand and compelled his
brother to commit them to memory.
Comments of the German press on
these wild utterances show keenly re-
sentiment at the ridicule cast on the
Fatherland by such extravagant per
fermances of the Kaiser. who is decIar-
ed to be in a state of excitement cauS-
ing intense apprehension to the en-
press and suite lest his reason may
give way altogether
The general opinion of KieI is voiced
by diplomats remark:
Tt is a great pity that Germany. hav-
ing an easy. safe and simple though
slightly piratical piece of work on
hand, should not be able to perform it
without setting the world laughing
The papers are full of comments on
the subject. The Times says:
The august utterances are worthy
of heroes of melOdrama and would
seem highdown to modern ideas if ut
tered by Philip II as he dispatched the
Armada; OF Columbus as he started to
carry the dominion of Spain over the
ocean"
