the emperor set foot on the deck of a
French vessel, which is equivalent to
French soil, by the express invitation

upon instructions from his government.
1t is therefore believed here that the
many graceful and courteous attentions
which during the past seven or eight
years the emperor has been paying to
Ithe French government have borne
fruit. The enperor'S act has been
sympathetically received in France
Though some see in it only a desire to
visit the Paris exposition in 1900. Most
of the papers print the Iphigenie tele-
grams without comment. The Tage-
blatt says:
1T was the first official act of France
for generation expressing a desire for
more friendly relations. The courtesy
of the kaiser is gradually telling upon
France"
The Vossische Zeitung SAYS:
The incident must fill with satisfac-
ton the friends of the republic, not
only on both sides of the Vosges but
everywhere in the world. It proves the
present rulers of France are not hypno-
tized with the idea of revenge, and they
have the moral courage to show it,"

The incident is proof of good rela-
tons"
