GERMAN NEWSPAPERS
ADVERTISE The FAIR,
Many Editors Agitated Over Posi-.
bility That the Kaiser VIII
Visit St Louis.

The 81. Louis Worlds Fair has been for
the last two weeks the subject Of AMI.
mated discussion in tho newspapers of
Germany. This widespread advertising Is
directly due to The announcement that an
invitation may be extended to the Emperor
OF Germany to visit st. Louis In 19oa
A few weeks ago The Republic pub
lshed IN interview with Mr.. John Schro-
ers Of the West1iche Post regarding
the possibility Of inducing Kaiser wilhelm
to attend the Fair. Tho Republic articls
was sent out through the Associated PrssA
to the Berlin papers and stnce its frst pub.
LEGATION on the other side the German prsss
has INDUCED in a lively controversy Is to
whether the Emperor should b allowed to
visit the United States.
Mr.. schroers says that soms Of the in.
fuential German papers think III Of Il for
the reason that the United States have taken
such an aggressive stand on the hriR ques-
ton Of late. On the other. hand there are
many influential German papers heartily
In favor OF IL because. they say, the rela-
tionshfp between thst two countries would bo
greatly enhanced by a visit from the En-
peror. who has repeatedly expressed a de-
sire to cross the ocean and study economic
questions IN which both countries are inter-
ested. While this heated debate is going
on in Germany, Mr.. Schroers says the
Worlds Fair Is always kept In the fore-
ground and consequently the Fair is con-
stantly obtaining valuable advertising.
