EMPEROR WILLIAMS MESSAGE
10 KIPLING

Berlin. March 7.-Emperor William s
message of sympathy to Mrs. Rudyard
Kipling, occasioned by her husbands
serious Illness, is commen ted upon by the
press here today.
The Nossische Zeitung says: This ne W
manifestation of the Emperor and the re-
cent one by German ministers form a
pleasant contrast to the erroneous state
ments that Germany is about to declare
war on the United States. The German
nation on the contrary is strongly desir-
ious of living in peace with America,
but hopes for full reciprocity and that the
legitimate interests of Germany will be
consid cred. y
The semi official Post says; 1.-The great
cordiaIity with which our monarch hon
ors Mr. Kipling ought to be calculated i
to remind Americans after period of
artificial enlargement, which we trust
is past. that they win nowhere find a
reader and more joyful recognition of the
brilliant features of their character than
from their cousins here and, firstly from
our imperial leader. ="
