Press banquet as Most Important

BERLIN. March THE first, quick i'm
preston Of wonder over the reception OF
Primo Henry of Prussia In the United,
States has passed. but fresh Incidents OF
the princes experiences continue to en-
terrain the public. The newspapers here
handle the dispatches from the United
States as though they were installments Of
q serial romance and curiosity as to what
will happen next Is not nearly as keen as
when Prince Henry debarked.
The politicians and writer's. however, are
beginning to examine his visit from the
standpoint Of class and party News. What
at first were either expansive expressions
Of pleasure or silence are replaced now by
the reflections of analytical minds, who
explain why the visit is a good thing, or
use 1t as political material.
The socialists revile everything about
the trip from their double hatred Of roy
atty and wealth. They sneer at the
democracy for export" as they call
Prince Henry's unaffected bearing. afirm-

The Voerwaerts sees profigacy in every
banquet, scandalous waste in the flower
displays and use as a text the fact that
seats at the gala performance at the Met
ropolitan opera house were selling at 200
marks. Referring to the banquet given by
the New York staats-Zeitung to the press
Of the United States in honor Of Prince
Henry, the paper says:
with us the press Is Just tolerated.
The monarch has never appeared at q
press f~estivity or q meeting OF bourgeolse.
Our newspapers feel themselves extraor-

Notwithstanding the unbridled and brutal

of its liberty. the emperor's delegate at

Such extreme opinions do not find a re-
Spouse In any other political section and
are only mentioned here because they are
the views Of the aggressive minority.
Agrarians Cold but Courteous.
The agrarians treat the princes visit
somewhat coldly, perhaps. but they keep
to the studied language OF courtesy in ex-
pressing satisfaction with the warmth Of
his reception.
The Kladderadatsch Zeitung this week
prints Prince Henry shaking hands with
Uncle Sam at the capitol. Uncle Sam has
an immense peddler's pack, and Imperial
Chancellor Count Won Buelow dressed as a
policeman is pushing back a group of the
agrarian leaders who are holding brickbats
behind their backs. waiting for a chance to
throw them, and exclaiming:
I'VE have an old score to settle with
Uncle Sam"
The tariff bill, pictured as the setting
sun In the background, is the agrarians'
grievance.
Germany has nothing but kind words for
the United States. The conservative Post
says:
Reception Sincerely Cordial.
1.-THE reception goes far beyond the
bounds of conventional polfteness and inter-
national courtesy. 1t is sincerely cordial
and even enthusiastic. The German people
will never forget the chiyalrous. sympa-
