PARIS, July 19.-(New York World CT
blegram-Special Telegram. )-The kat :
voiced his impressions of ]. Pierpont
gan with such frankness to M Wa y
Rousseau and the French ex-py RS
guests on the latter's yacht Ariad shen
they dined aboard Hohenzollern dy, as
to startle the French guests. A. ding to
letters received here from members Of the
party, the kaiser considers Mr. Morgan a
man of few ideas, but tremendous audacity
who has been wonderfully served by cir
cumstances which might just as well have
gone against him.
The kaiser is quoted as having said
TRY as 1 could, his conversation failed to
reveal to me that he had any clear compre-
henson of the vast harmonies and conflicts
of the commercial universe. l was amazed
to find him not we'll informed regarding the
historical and philosophical development Of
nations. His political economy leaves him
unconcerned regarding socialism, which un-
doubtedly will soon constitute the most
stupendous question everywhere. Mr.. Nor
gan confessed that he had never been suffl-
ciently interested to study into what So
cialism means exactly"
Mr.. Morgan struck the kaiser as being
a man who is absorbed in immediate prob
lens and incapable OF counting conse-
quences far ahead. The kaiser is repre-
sented as having spoken somewhat sneer-
ingly of the American boyish enthusiasm
which, after his successful combining OF
the interests, magnifed Mr.. Morgan into a
sort of financial God
The kaiser is said to have added: "After
the first surprise, Mr.. Morgan rose to the
part and now his ambition is to remodel
the world. But l can't see how he has a
single great idea. His chief merit lay in
seizing the right time in which to effect
combines on a scale which heretofore no.
body had dared to attempt. But In so doing
| Mr.. Morgan was rather the instrument of
irrepressible economic forces than an in
ventiye genius"
After the dinner the kaiser told Nine.
Waldeck-Roussea that he considered her
husband the greatest statesman alive, add
| ing: ''If he had had the opportunities
afforded by the premiership in monarchical
countries his name would have outshone
that Of Richelieu, Bismarck or Gladstone" /"
The kings of Denmark and Sweden, who
have shown Waldeck- Rousseau every atten-
tion In the course of the Ariadne's cruise,
each paid him somewhat similar compli-
ments in their welcoming speeches.

BERLIN, July 19.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram )-While the
attentions paid by the kaiser to ]. Pier
pont Morgan have caused indignation here,
the German press, as a means Of safely
venting its spleen, has been discussing Mr..
Morgans huge fortune and inquiring
whether a state should allow such colossal
sums to accumulate In the hand Of indl-
viduals.
Mr.. Morgan's methods and aims are
treated on all sides with the utmost severity
and the German government is warned on
the danger Of allowing him any footing in
connection with any German enterprise.
