EMPEROR is PLEASED
GRATIFIED AT THE RECEPTION
GIVEN HIS BROTHER IN AMERICA,
Also Delighted with the Charming
Telegram of CongratuIstion from
Miss Alice Roosevelt.

BERLIN, March 4.-Emperor William. in
stead of being displeased with the telegram
of Miss Alice Roosevelt concerning the
launching of the Meteor, as some of the
English newspapers aver, because OF Its
familiar tone, was, on the contrary, very
much pleased with it. A member of the
Cabinet relates that after an audience with
Emperor William, Feb. 26. official business
having been finished, he was about TO leave
when the Kaiser remarked: II must show
you the charming telegram l have just re-
ceived from Miss Alice Roosevelt" To
other members of his encourage the En-
peror has also expressed his pleasure over
this telegram, and has praised its natural
and unconstrained form.
The correspondent here of the Associated
Press has been officially informed of EN-
peror Williams satisfaction at the recep-
ton accorded to Prince Henry. The In
formant Of the correspondent had seen all
of Emperor Williams marginal notes on
the reports of Prince Henrys trip. He
said: His Majesty is in the highest degree
pleased with Prince Henrys reception from
his arrival in America, and especially with
that accorded by President Roosevelt and
his family. The Emperor has also ex-
pressed himself as delighted with the en-
thusiasm of the welcome to his brother
During an audience with Prof Kuno
Francke, of Harvard, Emperor William ex-
pressed himself as highly satisfied with
Prince Henry's reception, and said he
looked forward with particular interest 10
the princes visit to Cambridge Emperor
William sent for Professor Francke as a
compliment TO Harvard University.
The German newspaper men are i'm
mensely impressed with Prince Henry
bearing toward the newspaper men Of the
United States, and believe that Emperor
Williams perception of the influence of
the press on national opinion in the United
States will affect favorably the relations
of the crown to the home press.
Herr Bachem, the editor of the Cologne
Volks Zeitung, in an article in which he in
Inmates the previous conclusions, contrasts
the social and political positions of editors
here and in the United States. where news
paper men are selected to serve as Cabinet
ministers and ambassadors. not because
they are better educated or more able, but,
Herr Bachem says, because they receive
high salaries. Herr Bachem is of opinion
that the journey Of Prince Henry will not
modify the aspirations of the United States
which are conceived to be, first, to break
into European markets while excluding Eu-
rope from its own markets, and, second, TO
divide the mastery OF the seas with Great
Britain. Germany's political relations he
says. Will certainly be improved as a result
of the visit of the prince and mutual good
feeling will be increased. But Germany
must expect the United States 10 pursue it's
own economic ways and Germany must do
likewise.
Herr Liebermann Won Sonnenberg (Radi-
cal anti-Semite). who made a violent out
burst against Mr.. Chamberlain. the British
colonial secretary, last January, said i'm the
Reichstag to-day that the visit OF Prince
Henry would lead TO a friendly rapproche-
ment between the United States and Ger
many.
The Kreuz Zeitung. one of whose favorite
topics is American hatred for Germany,
says to-day il believes the visit of the
prince has already initiated a transforma-
ton for the better. The paper says: 1.-THE
visit is calculated permanently TO enlighten
American public opinion TO the fact that
neither hostile nor even unfriendly senti-
ments are manifested or cherished by the
German empire against the American Re
public"
The Kreuz Zeitung devotes two columns
10 advocating the esta blishment of direct
news service between Germany and the
United States, avoiding English channels,
where, the paper assumes, intelligence is
given a political bias.
