To-day passed without any disrespect
being shown TO the Prince of Wales
German crowds have a too deeply abld-
ing respect for royal personages and
are too thoroughly policed to ever jeer
them But in a city where the lifting Of
ones hat is as universal as ordinary civil
fty. il was singular to see the passing
crowds with never a hat raised, and to
hear no murmurs of applause.
The last experience abroad of the Prince
or Wales was his departure. amid thun-
derOus cheers. from the shores OF New
fOundIand. while the streets through which
day on his way TO visit the British ambas-
sador were without single British flag.
While receiving the most elaborate at
tentions from the family of Emperor Will
liam and from German officialdom, the
Prince of Wales must feel the chilling at
titude of the German public. Almost all
the newspapers refrain from editorial COM

editorial on the friendship between the
United States and Germany in these words /:
THE only object of the visit of Prince
Henry to the United States is the cultiva-
tiOn OF this sentiment. The German En-
peror could give the United States no bet

in sending his brother there Prince Henry
goes as it were, as the interpreter of Ger
man friendship for the United States. He
IS the first German prince from the old
reigning house 10 tread the soil Of the great
Republic, and undoubtedly his acQuaint-
anceship with the most prominent men of
the Union will exercise a beneficial effect
upon national relations.
The visit OF Prince Henry must dissipate
all the foolish and malicious assertions of
political antagonism between Germany and
the United States, and OF German plans of
conquest in the American sphere Of in
nuence and instead thereof, strengthen
and establish feelings of mutual recogni-
ton and equality OF standing. No treaty
or alliance between Germany and the
United States is needed. Ever since the
existence of the United States peace,
friendship and trade intercourse have pre-
vailed between US. Prince Henrys trip
shows that we wish 10 remain in the same
relations in the future, ana the reception
which the people, the government and pub
lie opinion are preparing Tor MIN on Amerl-
can soil will give splendid proot that the
s1ericans cherish similar sentiments and
