GERMANS FAR APART
VIEWS REGARDING VISIT OF
PRINCE HENRY SHOW BOTH
PLEASURE AND DISTRESS
SOME CRITICISM IS CAUSTIC
America Derided by the Socialist
Press as "the Dollar Nation" and
RidicuIe Heaped on Dinner
Given by MiIIionaires.

BERLIN, March 1.-The first quick i'm
preston of wonder over the reception of
Prince Henry of Prussia in the United
States has passed, but fresh incidents
Of the princes experiences continue to
entertain the public. The newspapers
here handle the dispatches from the Unit
ed States as though they were install
ments of a serial romance, and curiosity
as to what will happen next is nearly as
keen as WIN Prince Henry debarke5.
The politicians and writers, however,
are beginning to examine his visit from
the standpoint Of class and party views
What at first were either expansive eX-
pressions of pleasure or silence are re-
placed now by the reflections Of analyti-
cal minds, who explain why the visit is
a good thing, or use it as political mate
rial.
The Socialists revile everything about
the trip, in double hatred of royalty ard
wealth. They sheer a the democracy
for export" as they call Prince Henry's
unaffected bearing, affirming that royal
ty at home is never 50 amiable. New
names for the United States besprinkle
the Socialist press, such as Dollar Re
public" and the papers call those who
took part in the luncheon with the prince
at Sherry's, New York, Dollar Males
ties"
Criticise Press Banquet
The Vorwaerts sees profgacy in every
banquet, scandalous waste in the flower
displays, and uses as a text the fact
that seats at the gala performance at
the Metropolitan 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 a press
feStiVIty or meeting Of bourgeoise
Our newspapers feel themselves ex-
traordinarily fattered if minister in the
flesh sturnbleS unaWares into one of their
balls. Notwithstanding the unbridIed and
brutalizing use which the American press
makes of it's liberty, the emperors dele
gate attended the press banquet given in
his honor.
Such extreme opinions do not find a.
response in any other political section,
and are only mentioned here because they
are the view Of the aggressive minority
The Agrarians treat the princes visit
somewhat coldly, perhaps, but they keep
to the studied language of courtesy in
expressing satisfaction with the warmth
of his reception, though they seemingly
distrust the permanency OF the mutuaI
good feeling.

backs, waiting for a chance to throw

I'VE have an old score to settle with
Uncle Sam"
The tariff bill, pictured as the setting
sun, in the background, is the Agrarfans'
grievance
Every other phase Of political opinion
in Germany has nothing but kind words
for the United States.
While his majesty has not given pub
lie expression of his views of the week
incidents, it is understood that lie spc-
cially indorses Ambassador Whites in
depreciation of the trip as creating an
atmosphere in which political questions
are solved.
