GERMANS DISPLAY PLEASURE
People and Press in Berlin Appreciate
COrdia Reception of
Prince.

BERLIN, Feb. 25.-All day long crowds
stared at the portraits of President Roose-
welt and Prince Henry, which hung side by
side In a newspaper office in 'Unter den
Linden" Part of the time this crowd was
so dense that the police had to clear the
way for traflc.
Emperor William, who, with the empress,
drove by the newspaper Offices this after
noon, noticed the portraits and saluted a
small American Gag above them. Upon
perceiving this the crowd applsuded.
The are slowly working up to
animation over the reception In the United
States to Prince Henry and are glowing
with good feeling toward America. News
papers that never before received special
cablegrams from the United States are now
publishing such messages.
One editor remarked that the entire Ger
man press would be without dividends this
year and expressed the hope that nothing
else of equal interest would happen on the
other side for i've years to come.
All correspondents in the United States
for German newspapers agree on the
warmth of the reception to Prince Henry
by President Roosevelt, by the American
o~ficials, by the crowds and by the news
papers. As an instance Of this, Die Port

ington:
"All preparations for the reception of the
prince were under the supervision of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. President Roosevelt wanted
to give Prince Henry a cordial welcome,
but nothing pompous, and has thoroughly
succeeded in doing so. Prince Henry
showed how much he rejoiced at the really
cordial attitude of the president and those
about him. Prince Henry has won the
hearts Of all at the White House."
Regarding the rooms at the White House,
the correspondent of Die Post declares
them to have been wonderfully md ar
tistically decorated and without pomp.
THE attitude of all newspapers" con-
tinues the correspondent, "is extraordi-
narlly cordial without exception and shows
Prince Henry in his best light. They gave
the most detailed descriptions Of the
princes doings and his amiable behaviour
and refer especially to his simplicity, his
humor and his unassuming talk with every
body. The papers were particularly pleased
continues the correspondent, with Prince
Henry's expression OF his wish to learn to
know men and things with the least cere-
mony.'"
Emperor William has invited the baritone

The North German Gazette announces
that instead Of the usual instalment Of it,
serial novel 1t will print selected chapters

Views of English Papers.
LONDON, Feb. 25.-A tinge OF Jealousy
is observable In the comments OF the morn.
ing papers on the success Of Prince Henry's
visit.
The Daily Chronicle suggests that tn,
remembrance OF the attitude Of Admira.
Won Dledrichs in Manila bay may account
for the languid curiosity of the genera
public In the United States.
The Standard fnds nothing remarkable II
the proceedings but thinks 1t will be found
that Germany and the United States ar,
really better friends for the visit of Prince
Henry.
The Morning Post is almost alone in dis
playing genuine enthusiasm over his mat
ter. This paper says:
at is not given to every one to win popu
larity In America, but Prince Henry con
quered at once. The yachtsmen OF ever,
country will be grateful to Emperor VIII
liam and President Roosevelt for this pic
turesque Incident in the annals OF thei
