GERMANY Is PLEASED.
Believes Henry's Visit will Bring About Good
Feeling Between the Nations.

Feeling Between the Nations.
Berlin, Jan. 1.-THE press here is very
much gratified at the American courte-
sizes which are under way for the visit of
Prince Henry to the United States, and
speak in highest terms OF President
Roosevelt.
The North German Gazette says: "The
visit of his highness to America may
mean a disrupting of old ideas that have
unfortunately been only too prevalent
among certain classes in Germany.
While the American people have never
been regarded in truly unfriendly light,
there have been times when they were
hard to understand. The cordial recep-
tion which they have in preparation for
the prince is proof that beyond CONNER
cial matters they are more than friendly
and ready to extend hand of welcome
to Germany when it is proffered in such
an open manner.
"The princes visit is undoubtedly q
step toward better understanding be-
tween the two nations than has ever ex-
isted heretofore. Germans the world
over will feel a kindlier glow in their
hearts at the mention OF America than
has been customary and better under
standing of each other is insurance
against trouble which might arise in the
future"
Washington, Jan. IL. = The German
ambassador has informed Secretary Hay
that during his stay in Washington
Prince Henry of Prussia will be the guest
of the embassy. 1t had been the inten-
ton of President Roosevelt to make him
his personal guest if the prince so desired.
The embassy will make special efforts,
regardless Of expense, to entertain the
orince in q manner commensurate with
his rank. 1t is possible that elaborate
receptions will be given in return for the
one which will be offered by President

Emperor Orthodoxy Questioned.

Berlin, Jan. 20-The action of Emper-
or William in sitting through long lee
ture by Prof. Delitzsch, the assyriologist,
on the Babylonish origin of Hebrew
ideas, has alarmed the ultra-orthodox
circles of the state church, who begin to
think something is wrong with his ma
jesty's theology. They have noted that
in Gotha, three weeks ago, the emperor
intimated that all churches were equally
dear to him, saying that one of the great
purposes of his life was to bring about
church unity.

Tacoma, Jan. 2O.-Eleven of the most
desperate prisoners in the United States
penitentiary on McNeil's island made
their escape between l and 2 o'clock
Sunday, and up to late hour last night
were still at liberty. 1t was the most
daring and successful Jail break ever at
tempted in this state, and the character
of the men implicated makes it doubtful
whether they will be retaken without
loss of life.

Had But Short Start.

Warden Palmer does not think it pos
sible the prisoners secured more than
fifteen or twenty minutes the start of
them. He at once sent q squad of guards
in pursuit, and made tour of the island,
notifying the farmers of the escape and
instructing them to guard their boats 80
that no opportunity would be allowed
for escape. Marshal Ide and Warden
Palmer are exerting. all their efforts to
establish perfect Gordon around the
boats, believing that if they can prevent
the prisoners leaving the island under
cover of darkness they will be able to
retake them tomorrow,
With two launches, three rowboats
and thirty men guarding the shore line,
it is believed by the officials that if the
men were still on the island at 8 O'Clock
last night, their escape will be blocked.
