chilly and foggy as the HohenzoIlern
loomed in sight, escorted by the Ger

court fUnctiOnaries and the members
of the German embassy, boarded the
HOhenZOllern and were received with a
royal salute.

After his majesty had held a brief
court, the empress appeared and partic-

TWO VIEWS OF IT.
London, Nov. 20.-The British news
papers all publish a eulogistic welcome
to the Emperor and Empress of Ger
many and are strenuously endeavorins
to make political capital out of the
visit. This view, however, is opposed
by the comment of tOday'S German pa
pers. which insist that the trip of his
majesty is purely a family affair and
has no political Importance whatever.

Empress of Germany and their party
