Comment In Washington.
Washington, Jan. 13.-There is much
eomment in diplomatic and political
,ricles upon the contrast shown just
at this time between the strained re-
lations of Germany with Great Britain
and the excellent understanding pre-
railing between Germany and the
nt+ 4, -.
Germans are scolding one another. the
kaiser invites the daughter of Presi-
! dent Roosevelt to christen his new
yacht, building in an American ship
| yard, and Miss Roosevelt consents.
! The president and the kaiser exchange
| friendly salutations by cable. 1t is
also announced that Prince Henry is
coming to the United States presuma-
! bly, to witness the launching of the
kaiser's yacht. All these courtesies, in
the estimation of Washington observ-
srs, tend TO increase and strengthen
the bonds of friendship existing be-
tween the two countries, which have so
| much in common.
To Greet the Prince.
! Washington, Jan. 13.-Prince Henry
of Prussia is to be given a reception
BETTING the high station he occu.
pies and the representative of such
great nation as Germany. The pro-
| gramme for his welcome, which will
be Immediately prepared, is almost
as interesting a subject of specula-
tion in diplomatic circles as are the
reasons which induced Emperor Will
liam to send him here.
Prince Henry will be treated with
the most distinguished courtesy. Up
on his arrival at New York he will be
received by representatives of the
president and of the army and navy
and by military escort. Before he
lands a salute of 81 s-lns, the num-
ber given to the president, will be
fired. At the launching of the impe-
rial yacht, which will be christened
by Miss Roosevelt, his address will
be answered by the president in terms
as cordial as he himself will employ.
When he reaches Washington he will
be received by the president and will
be invited to be the guest of the ma
tion. He may prefer to stop at the
CilDasss' IOlAONllS MS
upon the president Mr.. Roosevelt will
return the courtesy and will subquent-
ly invite him to a dinner, which will be
attended by the most ICominent men
of the country, Everything will be
done TO make Prince Henry's visit a
pleasant memory.
The imperial yacht Hohenzollern
will also be given cordial reception.
1t is possible that the North Atlantic
squadron may find its itinerary cut
short and that ii will be ordered to re-
ceive the yacht at sea. accompany it to
port and take its share in doing honor
TO the prince of Prussia. Such action
Will give Prince Henry, who is an Off
Ger of the German navy, an opportunity
to see the latest American battleships.
